Villa 2 Tottenham 1 post-match thread

[eamonn]

Yeah, as soon as Emi went all-action, it was a high-risk scenario. I think he was emboldened from denying Kane from the Luiz mistake earlier and thought he could get the better of him again. He should have known that Kane would act the knut at the slightest opportunity.

As to whether Kane was offside, wasn't that part of the reason for the delay? They checked it and he was on.

The clear and obvious error was not giving the benefit of the doubt to England's glorious captain.

Speaking to the Spurs fan at work today, he said we were lucky playing the offside trap that they didn't breach it more often.
Told him it wasn't luck,  it is a good manager knowing how to coach and set up a game plan, and the players executing the plan perfectly.
"We're still above you" he sneered.
"Not for long, we are passing ships, except you're like the Titanic, going down, and we're going up".

They really don't like Villa gatecrashing the greedy six party.
Better get used to it.

They shouldn’t even be in the greedy six conversation…fluke of postcode over substance.  Like crocs they are passing fashion trend

[Gareth]

He's a great player, but I can't stand his gormless long face.

He has a face manufactured out of bread

Was very funny in the first half when McGinn span him and he fell flat on his hooter. Diving ******.

[Gareth]

I still haven’t seen an angle that definitively proves Emi doesn’t touch the ball making the refs corner decision wrong….corrupt

I think it was a pen, or rather if it had been the other way round I would have expected a pen.

If it was the other way around he'd have booked Ollie for knee dropping the keeper, like that time he got sent off for agressively running into the Man Utd keepers hands.

He was not onside, so if they did check it was cursory and they got it wrong. I might be tempted to say it only seems they go to great lengths on such things depending on who is likely to benefit from it and if the game is broadcast live

[Skerra]

Whatever anyones opinion, if it takes 3 minutes to overturn the original decision then it can’t possibly be a clear and obvious error in the first place

Bingo. You can see whatever you want when you slow it down by 16x, whether its handballs or fouls/contact.

Neigh, nor me.

Still waiting for Daz Wolley's review of the day. Couldn't Dave Woodhall lend him the reins of the Birmingham Press review just for once?

[Chico Hamilton III]

Darren sent us a great photo of him with Wes Edens on Saturday.

He tends to go missing in the big games.
