Get in there - great win Villa!

This will be a good test of just how good a manager O'Neill is. We got absolutly humiliated last weekend and it's up to him to get the players to restore our pride.

Saying that, I'm not confident!

Kevin Davies normally plays well against us at the Reebok, Elmander for some reason scores against us and that lad Wiltshire has the ability to give us the run around!

The best I can see is 1-1 but more likely a 2-1 defeat.

Not good enough!

As for the comment about Villa fans having a constant air of superiority then why shouldn't we?

Since Spurs were founded we've been the superior club for 86 out of your 128 years (67% of your history), won more major trophies, and outperformed you in the 2 main competitions.

Overall we've been better than you for over 2 in every 3 years!

Interesting which club has more players in the premier league team of ths season at present

Maybe a couple of Spurs boys made the B team!

Do you not understand that Actim use a cumulative points system? It's already been pointed out that your best players have missed comparitively few games, compared with those of other clubs. Hence the fact Gabby is ahead of Torres. None of the current team of the season players have played under 2200 mins. But aside from that, the Actim Index is hardly a good way of judging players and as i said earlier i can't imagine the reaction would have been very positive if a Spurs fan had used it to demonstarte our players superiority.

If the premier league judge it to be the most appropriate player index then that'll do for me.

Good to see according to the official site we have the top 3 players!

The official premier league player measurement system confirms Friedel as the 3rd top keeper in the league. Gomes does well to sneak into the top 10!

As for Spurs having the 2nd best defence - you might want to consider that you still have 4 of the top 5 scoring teams in the league to play - nothing like comparing apples with oranges!

Spurs fans are known for being amongst the most deluded in football (hence their nickname of Newcastle of the South)

For 17 premier league seasons we've heard about how great Spurs are and what they're going to do!

In over 70% of them you've finished below Villa so a lot of Spurs fans, generally, aren't taken seriously!

I've heard lots of Spurs fans crowing about Spurs getting 4th place - I just hope for their sake they don't end up with egg on their face!

Certainly no trophies for 4th place but we've comfortably had more top 1, top 2, top 3, top 4, top 5, top 6, top 7 and top 8 finishes than Spurs it would be great if there was!

They've still won 2 league titles though!

Not good enough for top four just yet.

Need better balance in the midfield (a ball winner) and a striker to replace the donkey that is Emile Heskey!

We need a ball winner in the middle and someone who will track attacking midfielders! Petrov just stands there watching!

The worst performance I've seen from a Villa side in my life!

A defence that looked all over the place and not comfortable with the ball and a midfield bybassed so easily with no general ball winner in the team.

We're predicatable to watch (get the ball wide and put the ball in the box in hope)

No way near enough quality for the money we've spent.

End of the road for O'Neill for me!

7 up! :oops:

6-1 our midfield is non existent!

Really need a decent ball winner in there but we don't!

Chelsea pass it in to the box we just cross it hopeful that someone will get to it!

Delf looks our best player!

If ever we need proof that our midfield is too lightweight this is it. Milner and Petrov clearly do not get a hold on the game nearly enough

Great run delf!

At least Heskey might be back next week!

If we're still behind for 10 minutes more might as well throw the Delf on!

Warnock - look who you're passing it to!

I expected us to lose this one but I just hope we have a real go second half - we need wins so just pile forward!

Chelsea to win 2-0 or 3-0 - O'Neill to blame tiredness for the loss and the fact we didn't get a wee bit of luck!

Can only see a defeat for us in this one!

Not that excited about this one.

I think that's more down to us being predictable. We really need a player who can do something a bit different and there are too many favourites (Heskey) who get picked regardless of how they play!

Gordon kept them in the game and it's a shame we couldn't have got the winner. I can't understand people saying we didn't want to win it, we aren't good enough to just say "ok let's take over and dominate the game."

I think the fonz showed that MON has made mistakes not giving him chances earlier but he did two big **** ups near the end.

I didn't think we looked tired, we had our chances but like all season we've lacked that player that turns 1 point into 2.[/quote]

He'd have to be a miracle worker to earn us 2 points from a game!
