Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur pre-match thread

[LeeB]

What a shower of shit-outs you all are.

[PaulWinch again]

We need to go in front early if we’re going to win this one.

[Dogtanian]

I cursed Ajax away saying “there’ll be goals”, so I’m keeping out of this one.

[Skerra]

I think that if we go at them from the start then we’ll win. However, if we take the slow, slow and even slower style, can only see a Spurs win with simple balls over the top of our defence.

[Goldenballs]

I'm still haunted by the Engles fuck up a couple of seasons ago.

[Proposition Joe]

It's weird, I say it every week, but I'm not looking forward to this one. Don't want to lose to them at all.

We're doing so well yet every week I get nervous about the game. I wonder at what point that'll stop and I'll actually be relaxed and expect to win. I'm sure I used to, back in the 90s.

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

Yep.  The only two matches I've heard being spoken about on Talksport this week are Liverpool v Man City and Man Utd v Everton.  Some clown on there this morning even described the game at Old Trafford as "tantalising".

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.

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

Ha ha. Me too.

We’ve come a long way from Handing 50p over to the turnstile operative in the Holte End back in the 70’s

Yes, you youngsters you did read it right 50p to see Gidman Nicholl Little and Gray

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

Yep.  The only two matches I've heard being spoken about on Talksport this week are Luverpool v Man City and Man Utd v Everton.  Some clown on there this morning even described the game at Old Trafford as "tantalising".

And now the Tottenham love in has begun on sky sports news with interviewing Madison and some other bloke

What a shower of shit-outs you all are.

Agree.
Not sure why I'm going because apparently we've lost already.

[VillaTim]

Hope whoever scores the winner for us does the darts celebration.

[Rigadon]

Hope whoever scores the winner for us does the darts celebration.

If I ever see a villa player do that wanky nonsense, or the imaginary photo taking, I will be very disappointed indeed.  Just no.

Is it a love-in, or is it an interview with a couple of their players?

[Martyn Smith]

A real six-pointer, Brian.

Seriously, though, a win for them puts 4th place back in their hands. It must not happen...

[Allan C]

Suspect this will be a cagey game  1-1
