Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur pre-match thread

[Dave]

Im still conditioned that Villa will raise expectations but dash them spectacularly, so I cant see anything other than a Spurs win.

Same.

Same.

They've also not won an away match in nearly three months. So it's even more certain.

Well thats the villa love giving. Similar to manure and we saw what happened there. Think this is gonna be a tough match personally

The fans have a vital role to play tomorrow

Exactly. Hopefully those match day tickets have been bought by proper Villa fans and not day trippers because 'top 6' Spurs are in town.

You can kind of second guess what the atmosphere is going to be like pre-match, by the amount of fumbling around with tickets outside the ground at the turnstiles.

Just need the missing piece in the jigsaw now, do they have a player on a current goal famine who's name we can insert for the winning goal.

Son will score, that much is for sure.

In fairness I still fumble around and I’ve been going best part of 50 years

I can see us beating Spurs 2-1.

I have more confidence against teams we should be nervous about playing... eg. Man City, Arsenal, Man Utd (🙄)...

If we can put out a performance like we did against Man City at home against this shower, they're for the taking. That Angie bloke has one way of playing - Unai will have his measure and will get the job done. Ajax away was the prelude with his team selection. He knows what he's doing and I can't see anything but a comfortable Villa win here.

*Also, no Kane (*the cheating, diving SOAB!) to rely on either.

We'll win this comfortably.

Big Cas was previewing the game with "Lawro" on TodayFM yesterday evening. He had a good quip about how both teams love playing the high-line so much that you'd be able to throw a blanket over all twenty outfield players in the middle of the park.

Stopping Madisson picking passes is an important role for someone tomorrow .

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

1-1. Ollie the boyhood Gooner to score ours, Son (inevitably) theirs.

Hopefully I'm wrong, but in a good way!

I'm still in Amsterdam as did Parkrun this morning. Met another Villa fan over for the game. I don't get back to West Wales until midnight then up early for the drive up to Brum. I'm not confident about tomorrow, just been let down too many times by Villa. Hopefully in Uni we trust. UTV

Is our match still on tomorrow as all I’ve been hearing is that Liverpool are playing Man City, full stop!!

Same for me too.

I dreamed it was 2-2 with them scoring with the last kick.
