Aston Villa v Spurs Pre-Match Thread

[eamonn]

There's no PL fixture you'd want more tomorrow than Spurs at home. If you can't be confident against a side that's shit, only concerned about another game and have a bunch out injured you'll never be confident.

Would prefer Saints or Lesta tbh

[DB]

No, look what happened to NF and C115. They had nothing to play for so we're relaxed and didn't give shit.
Spuds are shit and don't want this match having a major final to play in a few more days.

[eamonn]

I think we will win and so will Chelsea tomorrow night . This is going right to the wire so strap the fuck in .

I feel physically (car-) sick   /kippax

A bit late in the day but, my brother has just told me he can’t make the match tonight so I have a spare ticket. Great seats for a one off bargain of £40. If interested please pm me and we can arrange to meet by the McGregor statue around 7pm

Eight nil win under the lights then on to smashing the club formerly known as Man Utd by a similar amount.

Far too much talk on media about Spurs not taking this seriously and will get thrashed. All set up for a shock where Ange actually looks up into the camera post match with “I told you”  comment.

Aston Villa are unbeaten in 20 home games across all competitions, winning 14 and drawing six, their longest such run for 48 years.

They have won seven successive fixtures at Villa Park in all competitions, scoring 17 goals during this sequence.

Villa are seeking their 32nd win in all competitions in this campaign, which would set a new club record in a top-flight season.

Unai Emery is set to take charge of his 100th Premier League game as Villa manager. He's won 53, drawn 21 and lost 25 of his previous 99 matches, with his side scoring 172 goals and conceding 136.

Ollie Watkins scored his 75th Premier League goal for Aston Villa last time out, overtaking Gabriel Agbonlahor to become the club's highest goalscorer in the competition.

Three of those 75 goals have come against Tottenham but none have been scored at Villa Park.

Fear that strongest 11!

Ange Postecoglou's side are one of four top-flight teams to lose 10 or more league games in 2025 – the other three sides have all been relegated.

I don’t know the meaning of the word ‘hubris’ and I’ll never have to.

I spent the night dreaming that I was on the way to this match, being given lifts by my Sister, people I worked with and old girlfriends without ever actually arriving, so don't ask me the result.

Last night I dreamt that I was on the piss in a London box park with 350 Italian Chelsea fans who were over for their game and were sound. At 16.36 I realised I'd flown Ryanair to London rather than Birmingham by mistake. I rushed to a derelict tube station to get a train to Birmingham. As I waited for the lift I was transported to the middle of a Dublin housing estate by two women with telekinetic and psychic powers (along with the women's boyfriends). I tried to ask them to transport me to Birmingham for the game but there was a long queue of people waiting for psychic readings so they wouldn't see me. I missed the game, and thus don't know the score.

Are we on TV tonight? I'm guessing not but thought I'd ask.

It's on SKY, I'm off down the pub.

I blame the Sagwalla.

Waiting for Odo...

Only good thing Spurs will do today is this pic of the Holte in the sun.
