Spurs v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[adrenachrome]

Taking 9,000 fans to London - again - so soon after Christmas for an FA Cup match is remarkable.

People are bought in. Something is happening.

Our year. What a club.

Great point.

We have a magnificent away following, many of whom have stated on X that they have had enough of London after our glut of recent fixtures in that Metropolis.

Just back from Spurs. Fuck that ground it's not a football stadium, give me Villa Park any day. UTV and that journey home was horrendous 🤣

[TonyD]

Lovely stuff.

With Palace out, it’s our year.

Indeed
Love a home draw with Citeh next to get rid of them next. 

[Crown Hill]

Back home now. Great day out and great support,

Hope Kamara ok. Looked to be the left side of his left knee. Tielemans coming in helped control things.

Don’t think Ollie walked into Palhinha at the end but he did raise his arms right in his face and said something. Dangerous to push him down the sloped end to the pitch. Should have shown him a red after the match for that.

Drove past the Villa coach on way back so they were away nice and quickly.

Can’t believe how gentrified Tottenham High Road is now compared to when I used to watch us there in 90s and 2000s. It was probably worst area outside any ground then.

I really do believe that was one of the most deliberate attempts to kick the shit out of an opposing team in a long long time.  Half time no var I reckon Frank said just do the cnuts.  Which works for about 15 minutes before we regained control.

There were some astonishing attempted assaults on our players.

Paulinha, just like Robbie Savage. Provoke, provoke, foul, stir up and then run away.

Thought Bogarde was immense

Over-elaborates a bit and had his pocket picked for their goal.

[Gareth]

Thoroughly enjoyed that, pretty comfortable win in the end, from pretty much 5 minutes after they scored to the end they created very little and only one team was scoring or even trying to score.

Excellent stadium but very very weird pre match ‘entertainment’ the bloke on the mic would put a glass eye to sleep and 20 odd minutes before kick off they were playing Whitney Houston :-) lucky they had 9k there to make an atmosphere

Paulinha, just like Robbie Savage. Provoke, provoke, foul, stir up and then run away.

+ cry foul when you finally get some back

Spurs fan reactions. Mostly bell ends. Especially the first bloke. Enjoy

Prize money today, us £121,500, Spurs £26,500. 127k for a round 4 winner, 0 for the loser. May not seem much but add in gate money, potential tv money and the money you can can create in a home tie and it soon adds up.

[Garyth]

I would love it if Ollie posted one of those 'non' apologies on social media, but along the lines of

"Sorry if you felt upset, I wanted to celebrate and didn't see anything relevant in front of me aside from Villa fans"

[Rigadon]

That game could prove pivotal to this season in a few ways.  Lose Kamara for months and it could well derail what could’ve been an all time season.  But the spirit.  Great to see.

Listen to the question asked of Thomas Frank at 2:08

provocative question at the end; TBF, Frank didn't pile in.

My first trip to the new Tottingham stadium. Impressive! It’s like a scaled down version of Wembley. Maybe that was due to the amount of stairs that need to be climbed and like the new Wembley it feels more like it’s built for events rather than just football. It felt very American to me, you can see why they put their version of football on there. It’s a big money making bowl is what it is. It reeks of corporate. Yes, I know football clubs need or want to make money to prosper but where is the soul? I suppose if you’re into American football your attachment to your home ground is less than real football and it’s more about “will I be catered for”?  Interesting to hear two Spurs fans on the train back to Cheshunt preferring older grounds like VP. Glass and shiny metal can’t replace history or a sense of belonging. Villa Park any day for me.
