Villa 2 Tottenham 1 post-match thread

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Beautiful just beautiful…Outplayed the boys from the North of London, the Lion is roaring, the mighty Aston Villa are positioned nicely to resume their place as the preeminent club in England.

 Fuck that ref, fuck Harry Kane, UTV

The penalty was exactly the sort of 'professionalism' that Kane has relied on for his whole career. Know you can't score so kick the ball anywhere and then make sure you fall into the keeper/defender. No way he scores from there if there's no contact (the ball was pretty much out of play) and the only option Martinez has is to just not make any challenge. It's bullshit and should've seen a change to the laws year ago but, just like touching the ball makes people mostly immune to giving away free kicks, creating contact in the box by running into the defender gets given far too readily by referees, and then they wonder why people dive and cheat.

He did it to Cash last season I think. Cash slid to block the cross he thought Kane was going to do, Kane completely left the ball and just ran in front of the block and collapsed in a heap.

Be a real shame if he injured himself doing it.

That first half today was total domination, could/should of been ahead by more but chuffed with that. Can't wait to see who Emery buys to make us an even better team.

Pundits don't think its cheating though if he does it. If Fernandes does it - and no way am I defending the rat faced weasel - it's cheating or dubious. If Kane does it, clever old devious foxy stoat Kane.

[Ian.]

Yep, that’s so true Paul, allowing Kane these penalties just allows the carry on of players cheating refs. Can’t believe he’s done it again and pulled it off. It was a carbon copy of the one against Cash.

Hes a ******. Minky musky sly old stoaty stoaty stoat.

I think his goal vrs Spurs, at their place, is my favourite of the season, too

There was a lovely moment in the second half when they were trying to press us. Son goes to close down Konsa, and I saw him have a quick look over his shoulder. I can only presume he muttered the Korean equivalent of Kane's "what's the ****ing point?" from a few years back as he saw Ashley Young standing in 40 yards of space and not another spurs player in the same postcode.

Traore at Leicester still gets my  vote I think

[achilles]

I’m still trying to get my head around how Spurs were allowed to take a free kick for offside in our half.

I was absolutely furious about that, just summed up the referee who was dire!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

As soon as the second went in I was never in doubt. If we're to get a result at Anfield we'll need to start taking our chances. Spurs were lucky not to go in at least 3 down at half time.

Great to see Bouba back to playing the way he did first half of the season and despite his injury wasn't afraid to put a foot in. So many good performances today Martinez, Ashley Forever Young - what a season he's had, Konsa and Mings, Dougie, JJ, even Buendia showed some good work after a couple of dodgy performance. MOTM by a country mile, SJM and he did most of it on a booking that never should have been.
