mottaloo Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 After today's abject performance I am dreading this one. If Son and Kane click then I think we'll be on the end of a 4-0 dicking and spurs are hardly ever "spursy" when playing us. I'd be over the moon with a draw.

Wainy316 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 If the wife would let me I’d bet the mortgage on a Spurs win here. I’ve never seen a more obvious and clear result to a fixture before a ball has been kicked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 0-3 if Spurs get an early goal. Think their 3-5-2 will cause us endless problems and Kane is in best spell of the season. And Son usually scores v us. And we should'v signed Bentancur etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Another side that just love coming to Villa Park and having their way every single year. Another sickener to enjoy infront of the Sky cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Managing to watch this with a mate as it coincides with me being back in brum. Looking forward to going to a live game, even though we're likely to lose. Just hoping for a good performance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Perhaps I should make a new thread called "What's the point?" I live the other side of cambridge, followed villa all my life, (yes born and bred in the shires and now live in Suffolk) first game was a home defeat in 1968 2 - 4 to Bristol City. I am a season ticket holder in the Holte End and I am nearly 64. Journey takes me about 2 hours each way, I dont get to see all home games but this season I have seen villa win twice... Next week I will drive up to see the game against spurs to see villa lose either convincingly or assisted by VAR I am beginning to wonder what is the point...? I will always follow the villa, enjoy the banter at the back of the Holte but I am beginning to wonder if I can bothered anymore, maybe this is the last season I waste my time going to watch another of the regular abject performances I have witnessed not only this season but over the years.... Please follow VT members try and convince me... VTID Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTID Derek We are 10 th in the Premier league, try to go back to those halcyon days when we were relegated from the the first division and began our magical slide down division 2 with home crowds of around 8-10000, crumbling ground and and shit administration. If that doesn’t make you feel better then perhaps it is time to call it a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Yes I know what you are saying SMG.......perhaps I am morphing into one of those "entitled plastic fans" I will try and keep positive, but starting to dread the 2 hour journey home after a predictable crushing defeat or points being snatched away by the opposition in the last few minutes. If we win the journey home only seems to take 15 mins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will tear us apart We're going to have to just sit in for this. No having fullbacks flying past the halfway line for every attack. Sitting in btw dosen't mean we just camp on the edge of the box all game though, there is a difference. Wonder if Gerrard is tempted to play a 3-4-3 though and bring in Chambers to match them up a bit more. Hard to see anything but Spurs win whatever formation we play though especially with Kane back to his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will never join the ever growing group of those “entitled plastic fans” simply because you were there in those dark days and are still here now, a proper fan. However we are a mid table team with aspirations, sadly the time needed to achieve those aspirations is unknown so as long as we move forward in some way that is progress and something to hold on to. We have generous owners, a developing manager, some excellent proven players and a pool of exciting youngsters, there is much to be positive about Failing that you could buy a house in Witton that would massively reduce your journey home !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman22 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Spurs look really strong. This is going to be a tough game, Conte starting to put his stamp on them. Whoever’s playing defensive mid is going to have a tough time picking up Kane/ Son. Their two full backs are pushing on so well recently. No looking forward to this at all. And it’s on Sky! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I think we'll get a result, if only for the fact that we've lost three on the run, and Spurs have won three in a row, for most teams form goes up and down, we aren't going to keep losing and Tottenham aren't going to keep winning. Might be a draw, but i'm hopeful of a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
