Aston Villa v Spurs Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

This is about Thursday night.

we said that against Fulham

[Proposition Joe]

FFS. Honestly, honestly, if we are going to throw one game this week, it should not be this one. Or we're going to fucking limp towards the end of the season still needing something from the Liverpool game and the City game. The message should have been go all out to get CL football then take a free hit vs Forest. Fucking inexplicable what's gone on here today.

On 5live today they had the usual morons talking about a club about which they neither know anything nor give a shit about, but one made a salient point - despite our position, and despite being in the EL semi, the bad has probably outweighed the good in terms of performance this season.

[ROBBO]

A total lack of effort, just what i was afraid of, a team desperate for points against Villa players who look like they can't be bothered. Strangely Bogarde seems the only Villa player who's trying. We are being played off the park at home by a team who deserve to be relegated. Emery has got this all wrong we are being beaten in every position, Watkins has to come on, but i can see Unai sticking til the sixty minute mark. Oh and Sancho please fck off.

This is about Thursday night.

Yep. Better win.

I've just thought of a problem.

[LeonW]

Maatsen having a stinker.

Who isn’t having a stinker?

Martinez?

Fair. The only one.

[OzVilla]

If any other club performed like that and I’d be thinking there’s match fixing going on. Beyond bad, embarrassing.

[Steve67]

He's still banking on us beating Burnley.

[Billy Walker]

Unai has made a huge call and as brutal as the performance has been, I'm gonna back the Boss. I feel sorry for the Hammers that the fixtures have fallen like this. 

[PaulWinch again]

0 xg, at home, against a team in the bottom three- that is fucking unacceptable and for professional pride sake they better significantly turn it around.

[Monty]

This is about Thursday night.

Yep. Better win.

I've just thought of a problem.

Is it the presence of the other team?

[Somniloquism]

Even Gerrard would be embarrassed by this performance.

Even Eric Black would be embarrassed by this performance.

[N'ZMAV]

If Burnley can run then they'll beat us if we play like this

[Deano's Mullet]

Paul Lambert would have been embarrassed

[manic-road]

Only positive I can see is that Forest will have to go full strength tomorrow. Clutching at small straws.

[oldtimernow]

My piss is stronger than this midfield and I drink a lot of tea
