HALF TIME Tottenham 0-1 Aston Villa
34 mins GOAL Tottenham 0-1 Aston Villa - Christian Benteke
Villa take the lead! And no prizes for guessing who has scored it. Christian Benteke rises above Federico Fazio in the box to meet a Leandro Bacuna cross and power a header past Michel Vorm. That is eight in his last six games for the big striker. It should appease Tim Sherwood as well, who was getting irate with the fourth official for an offside decision against Gabriel Agbonlahor he clearly felt was wrong.
17 mins Substitution, Aston Villa. Nathan Baker replaces Ciaran Clark because of an injury.

If we lose to that gobshite the force of my fury will probably take out most of Hertfordshire. No pressure Spurs.

If we lose we might as well get fucked by goats

These shit****s couldn't even beat QPR at home. We'll win this easily.

Yea sure, the Spurs way of winning, right? If we turn up the same way we did at Burnley we are in for another sour afternoon. Hope our players prove me wrong.

Still COYS. Oh how I want this win!

If we can't pick up the 3 points comfortably, i'll be so heated it'll give me an aneurysm.

It will be interesting to see what reception Timmy gets.

It will be interesting to see what reception Timmy gets.

It'll be embarrassing if he receives a bad one. I'm glad he's not managing our club but he tried his hardest while he was with us and left because we wanted him to. A modest greeting will suffice.

4-0 Villa.

So you have some faith in us keeping it close then

Come on now man, when was the last time you felt remotely comfortable watching a Spurs match? Unless you have an feeling of impending doom, palpitations and the urge to drink pure alcohol it's probably not Spurs.

3-2 to the good guys, more goals shipped but Kane saves the day.... yet again.

If we win I can't wait for the Manchester Derby, someone drops points and neither has a particularly easy draw to finish with. Fingers crossed.

we really should be winning this

But without Lloris it won't be easy

They have pace on the attack and strength in Benteke - they also hjave to fight for their lives while we are in danger of going through the motions

I still fancy us to win at home but it's a game we could easily slip up in and a draw or loss really wouldn't surprise me

The thought of that inexperienced, makeshift back-line against an in-form Benteke has me concerned. Given his loathing of Sherwood, I think Verts would probably have put in a season-best best performance for this one, and Fazio would have been good to keep Benteke quiet - shame it seems they might both be missing.

Benteke Vs Chiriches. this could be a horror movie.

Benteke Vs Chiriches. this could be a horror movie.

people said the same regarding lukaku last season and chiriches bossed him.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

We must win. We must fucking win. For once, I agree with Poch. No plan B. Our plan B is our plan A; winning.

Benteke Vs Chiriches. this could be a horror movie.

I know. Poor Benteke.

I agree I don't want to hear boos, but would understand if there were some. Sherwood can't keep his gob shut about us and nearly always in a derogatory fashion (sarcastic comments about the board etc) so could understand some boos.
