    Except it didn't strike his arm, as the replays show clearly.

    Dawson goal

    I have looked at the replays several times. On first viewing it looked like he controlled it with his arm (at 0:34 and 1:19) and I say that without my claret and blue glasses on. It looks different from different angles, so I dispute your use of the word "clearly".

    Anyway, it's all academic now and you definitely deserved your point from the game.

  2. Well ....

    Typical Villa at the moment if I may say so: score from a set piece (a scrappy goal in this case), then sit back, defend well, well-organised and hope to hit on the counter ... it ain't pretty, but it's often effective.

    It doesn't matter if it trundles over the line from 4 inches out or busts the net from 40 yards out at 100mph, it still counts as a goal.

  3. If spuds get CL next season it could mean we will struggle big time to ever catch them again

    They some how seem to make money hand over fist already and with a new 56k stadium about 4 or 5 years off will be way out of our leagie in terms of finances and if they get CL the big names will turn up

    Agree totally with this.

    I'm interested to know more about how Spurs generate their income. Perhaps if Glaston or Joey55 are about sometime they could give us all a brief overview.

    We need to combat their midfield, I think 4-5-1 possibly for this one.

    Could not agree more.

    We need to approach this match like we did the Chelsea and Citeh games. Anything less will not do. Luckily, I can't make this game - like I missed the Bolton game - so we'll probably win.

    We played 4-4-2 against Citeh and Chelsea...

    Sorry, I didn't mean that we should necessarily play 4-5-1 against Spurs. I meant we should play with the same fight and determination that we showed against Citeh and Chelsea. My apologies if that didn't come across. :)
