Aston Villa v Spurs

Devo from Dublin

At last i have a chance this season to start a fixture thread..

It was my job last season if you can recall until someone started one up on a Wednesday!!!!!

Anyway, i can barely remember that!!:p

So, Villa Park, the 2nd biggest pitch in the league.
Aston Villa as bad as us at the moment.

So im going for a 3-1 win.

Lloris

Naughton - Kaboul - Vertonghen - Rose.

---

Dembele - Mason

---

Lamela - Soldado - Eriksen --

Kane.

If that Flooker Ade starts i wont be a happy bunny.....even though he has scored in his last match .....typical Spurs fan btw...We give out that our managers drop players after they score, ie Soldado and Kane...but i now want Ade dropped.


Lump on us to win -1!!!!!!;)

Kiith

Didn't we always win when you created the thread? No pressure or anything...

Ade scored, but anyone would have scored that header from Mason against Newcastle. He still doesn't deserve to start, though i suspect he will. Regardless of the striker choice, Dembele better start. He's looked good this season, and could do a job against the Villa midfield.

2-1 to Spurs.

Sugarlumps

Villa are fúcking shíte, though were not much better. We usually thump them. I like that team selection. We play better away, our home record has been patchy/unconvincing for a long time.

If he starts the other lad up front, I give up, they must be having séxual relations. As for captain numb nuts quote from last week, he’s had one good game against Arsenal, captain courage’s he ain't. That degenerate Merson reckons we’ll lose 3-0.

mickman

adebayour will start

1-1

yiddo59

Hutton is out for them though I dunno if thats a good or bad thing.

2-1 to the mighty Spurs

Hatch99

Lamela to star and spurs to win :eek:

2nd Row Donkey

Another awful performance

0-0 maybe. can't see anything positive at the moment

Glebee

Im going for a spurs win here, 1 nil to the spurs..




PS. we are ****e though so we will probally lose.;)

billy100

Scoring draw, 1 apiece

KingdomYid

If Poch picks Ade here I will not be happy and his choice would have to be questioned.

I think we might sneak this one, just about.

tippspur

Villa have lost their last 4 games and need 3 points badly, Spurs are coming to Town so we might oblige as usual.

Villa 2 spurs 0 and a serious amount of pressure on poch's shoulders instead of the players where it should be. Was anyone watching ssn this morning? The panel ripped spurs apart for not having an aggressive player or any players that look like leaders. I don't usually agree but they've hit the nail on the head today.

Jason 5pu45

Both teams showing bad form.which ever team loses is in big trouble IMO.I do fancy us to win.

Yep and Gary Neville got it right when he said spurs are "never ready" and"weak"

mushykeogh

Villa lost their last 4 and havent scored in 5! They are sure to knock in 3 or 4 against us so!

Glebee

Surely now tommorow any Spurs player worth his salt will get his head down and grind out a good performance for the team. We will see what they are made off. Ill be very surprised if more than a couple play any way decent.


* Just looked a league table and did not realise we are actually 3 points above relegation places..

Why would they put in an effort tomorrow ?

Surely any normal sportsman / women whom the media / public have labeled as crap / weak etc during the week will be out to prove a point. I know personally I would be. Im only assuming though that they actually give a crap in the first place though.

It's doubtful in my opinion, hope I'm wrong

It's hard to understand why there's such an apparent lack of spirit in the team.

No leaders in the team. The team playing like individuals. No one to throw a tackle into the opposition. We've lost sandro and Dawson two players who would've put themselves about and they haven't been replaced at all. Who's gonna tackle? Lamella? Ericksen? Paulinho? No ****en way. Capoue is supposed to be that man but he looks weak at the moment. I was impressed with him at the very start

And six points off 4th :P not really much in it in either direction.

jobeenfitz

I think both Spurs and Villa would be satisfied with a draw so I see this being a boring draw. 1-1

Stambouli loves a tackle!

Sugarlumps

Ade and Soldado?
Lamela misses out, could have a better influence coming off the bench.

Sugarlumps

Miss match with Benteke and Naughton.

Sugarlumps

Soldado looking lively, we have some width today it would seem.

Sugarlumps

Unbelievable, who was picking up Benteke? Muppet's...

Sugarlumps

Kaboul is one gormless fúck.

awkwardboy

What a fcuking shambles

Sugarlumps

Few goals in this game I reckon.

2nd Row Donkey

I thought we were doing ok until the goal

the monkey is off villa's back now that they have finally scored a goal... They'll get better as the game goes on

tippspur

Another shyte start to a game,chasing the game now.

Kiith

No surprise there. Defence is a joke, and we'll concede more today.

Sugarlumps

Kaboul is a liability.

Sugarlumps

How many aerial duels does Ade win?

Mayo Yid

Kaboul needs to be shown the door

awkwardboy

Kaboul is beyond shocking. There are inanimate objects that would do a better job than him. The fact he is captain really rubs it in. Its looking like a relegation battle this year I'm afraid

2nd Row Donkey

Rose didn't cover himself in glory for their goal either. poor attempt to get back and put a second tackle in

Sugarlumps

No shots on target, pressure growing some.

Sugarlumps

Gotta score!

Kiith

Yeah, needs to score that. Terrible attempt.

Sugarlumps

No point giving out Pochettino, you selected him.

davycc

Kane would have scored by now, :-(

Sugarlumps

Lamela on for Chadli.

Sugarlumps

Absolutely no tempo or urgency. Brilliant by young Mason.

Sugarlumps

Get off Eriksen, that's pathetic.

Kiith

Haha, the crossing is pathetic.

Sugarlumps

Our manager is gonna have to tear into these at half time to get a reaction, or were going down. A point ain't worth a ****.

KingdomYid

Needs a Dawson back there to handle Benteke, big mistake selling him in hindsight. The fact Kaboul is captain says it all about the leaders we have in this squad.

Sugarlumps

Quick equalizer please, glad he took Eriksen off.
