Great write up. Listening to the radio commentary, it was inevitable as halfway through the second half, the list of Spurz injuries was read out as though they were the only team suffering loss to key players. I also wryly smiled as the comment "amazingly at this time of the season Villa find themselves one point behind Man City" was trotted out.
For some reason the appearance of the Villa in the top four has eyebrows raised whereas, we the fans, could see what was happening from the very start.
While the media waits for us to fail, I'm happy to enjoy the ride and can only see more joy ahead.

It will be the two home matches against Citeh and Arsenal which will either make them wake up and start crowing us, or will have them writing, "see we told you to ignore them".

Just after they scored, Sky put up a list of the players they hadout. It was almost as if to say 'look they're winning even with all them missing'.

A good summary Dave. One little typo, you've called him 'Song' rather than 'Son'.

In The Guardian this week they had their usual 10 points to talk about the weekend matches: Spurs Spurs, Spurs, Spurs, Villa were there too

We're on the same number of points (28) after 13 games as Leicester in 2015/16. Just saying.
