In fairness, 6 subsitution "periods" should be an additional 3 minutes minimum and we had 2 second half goals, which should be 1 minute minimum.

So 4 minutes minimum added on without anything else - 6 minutes is probably about right.

This is spot on, could of even added more on if you take into account that there was a large number of offsides that were called back, once the free kick is given surely all of the football to follow before it was pulled back should be played again, in terms of time (hope that makes sense)

however many (almost all) other games I watch have several minutes less added than they should in my opinion, so when you see the match continuing well into the 98th minute today it is very annoying.

I'd like to find A clip, see if Kane was truly onside, didn't look it to me on screen.

This is the point at which contact occurred. Someone wants to explain why his legs have buckled like that?

He's tripping himself up to manufacture contact.

As he always does. As they all do. It’s ruining football.

Mcginn outstanding. Luiz and ty showing why it's a shootout between them for player of the season. 

Ref was a word removed

[PaulC]

Martinez went down early and kane deliberately fell over him. No idea how that can be given as a pen. One rule for Kane.  It tarnished an otherwise perfect performance and if that penalty is the difference between European football all or not then double annoying.

Thought Luiz and Mcginn were excellent and Bailey gives us a different dimension

Yeah, I have seen plenty of genuine players jump over the keeper there.

Something else that needs to be looked at by Howard Webb, to easy to manufacture a penalty there, just fall over the keeper, although keeper has the right to be there, weather he gets the ball or not.

Do it, you deserve it.

Kane reminds me of one of those dashcam nobheads on YouTube who sees someone approaching them and speeds up to manufacture an incident to get angry about.

He's a scourge on modern football.

Only read the first page but it seems these days we concentrate more on the officials performance than the teams performance.

[MSvillain]

not sure if its been mentioned but you could get a penalty for grabbing someones wrist and punching yourself in the face these days

'They' probably 'all do', but somehow it's more objectionable when Saint Harry, the dimwit does. **** him and **** Tottingham. let's hope he leaves them this summer and they get relegated next. Jumped up words removed.

Only conceded once in last 6 home games, and it was a dodgy cheating Kane dive pen. Unai has turned Villa Park into a fortress.

Whilst disappointing not to see out a clean sheet (and maybe grab a 3rd), we should be proud and I'm super pleased with the win.  Look at where we were and now where we are.  Both owners were at VP today to see the game and that confirms how much commitment they have to our development .  Sod you Spurs and sod you the top 4  - we're coming for you next year.

We played them off the park in the first half. We should have had a few more goals. I'd hate to finish behind them on goal difference/goals scored.

McGinn was obvious MOTM. He battled and battled, and showed some moves I didn't know he had.

JJ's finish was outstanding. He didn't have more than half a yard on his defender, who was still essentially in his face, and he scored anyway.

Young was canny.

The back line was outstanding. It's amazing how well they held their line for all the offsides given it was a 5-man line most of the game.

The tactics were interesting...Bailey operated essentially as a wing back for long stretches, as far as I could tell, as we were more of a 5-3-2 in defense in the first half. The second half turned on the subs. Kulusevski was dangerous and helped usher in the period when they had the upper hand. That period ended when Bailey went out and Kamara came into help steady the ship as we went back to more of a 4-4-2. After Kane's goal, in came Cash and we had a 5 man back line again, more of a 5-4-1 this time.

I'm ordering the spiciest curry I can, then rubbing it in my eyes so I don't accidentally catch a second of Eurovision.
