One of the toughest MOTM votes I've ever submitted. Clark made the least mistakes, and got a foot in somewhere or other, so he got it. Another poor performance this time unmasked by the result.

I've seen them given. Nearly every time, that is.

It's possible for bilinguals to be dyslexic in one language and not the other.

That explains Lambo's team sheet.

HE'S NOT CALLED GUZMAN NIALL.

One would think, after **** it up the entirety of the last Villa match he called, that someone would've drawn his attention to it.

Their Iranian is a classy player, by the looks. He's like Gabby, only with cunning and proper skill.

Decent re-start, but it only went about forty yards ... we're down 2-0; got to hoof it further than that!

 

 

this is bullshit, they should not be up 2-0

 

You're right - had they squared one to Berba it'd be three.

 

 

Didn't they hit the post as well?

 

I missed it, if so. You don't mean Guzan's brilliant save from the corner?

Fulham look up for it, to be fair, and with the possession we typically allow opponents, and the technical chops of some of their players ...

I've got no issue with the penalty, either. Bacuna was suitably chastened by his previous experience of laying off Sidwell. The second time he got too close, clumsily so. I'm yet to be impressed by his general play in a Villa shirt.

Ah well, give the youngsters time. No shame losing to this collection of talent. Spurs are nowhere near as good as they're going to get this season, which makes this a bit of a wasted opportunity for us. Delph clearly our best.

Fair enough. KEA doesn't give us much creatively, even though Westwood's been the inferior player thus far.

Westwood just shrugged off there. Dear oh dear. Tough one to deal with from Ron, but it was as if he wasn't there.

Good move, AVB. He's seen enough of our fullbacks to know where to attack, especially with pace on the counter as we push.

Ooohhh!!! Here we go! Should've done better, though.

I love El Ahmadi's effort. The guy tries his guts out, even if the results vary.

Bacuna: Taking on their winger in the defensive corner, almost giving it away but for a lucky ricochet. Hitting a straight-ish aerial ball in to Gabby. Booting the last clearance when he had acres of space to control it ... so unconvinced by that guy.

Delph couldn't pass a parcel

He could drag it back with his left in a tight turn, though.

Let the wanking continue...there is a graphic showing all of Andros Townsend's touches in the first 45 minutes on the BBC site.

 

Are we kidding?   

Is it offensive viewed purely in the context of this match? If they're going to pick a player, it might as well be him, since they've otherwise been blunt, individually.

 

Pure scum. They ought to ban Spurs' fans from away matches for a period of time and in addition make Spurs reimburse those clubs for lost revenue.

 

I agree with the doctor, though only for one match, and only if they don't find the idiot, who should be banned for life.

Just to clarify: I liked not the action but NurembergVillan for posting the GIF, as I had missed it on the TV.

They're lucky they're ahead. Can see us getting one at least. Benteke at some point, but he wouldn't have done much better than Kozak to this point, the minimal possession we've had and service he's been given.

Save!!! Wrong-footed and on this slippery turf as well.

That idiot who threw the smoke bomb should be banned from stadiums.

Agreed. I wouldn't be concerned if they had to play behind closed doors or their supporters were banned from travelling to their next away game. People should know idiocy like that can draw the ire of their brethren as well as the authorities.

Trace their goal back to Gabby kicking it straight to them on his first touch in their half.

Either he gets a regular start and goes balls-to-the-wall in pursuit of another enormous wage on a 2014 free or he loafs, much as he has done since his City breakthrough season, content just to steal another few years as a pro on reputation and talent. I know what my money's on.
