Villa have now lost 9/11 games which is ironic as that's the date I wish our entire squad were in the world trade centre on

Textbook use of hyperbole in order to vent one's spleen.

Villa fans in comments of Guardian report saying Spurs and Villa are of similar size:

Get The Grade Get The Grade
910
A Spurs Blog allabout Villa? Nice.

First things first: Villa are a club of far greater scale and history than Tottenham - it's like comparing a vintage Rolls Royce with one of Arthur Daley's souped up Mazdas. The problem for Villa is it has been consecutively owned by two very poor Chairmen on whose watch Villa have slipped from being the most trophied club in England to the fourth most trophied club.

On another note, those saying relegation might be good for Villa could not have it more wrong: fresh investment and new leadership is what the club needs. Villa have spent over 100 years (in the league it created) as a top flight club. Anything less is NOT acceptable. The Villa fans and club will pull together and fight.

  Sure, but 6 of Villa's 7 titles happened over 100 years ago... They haven't been notable of anything else except for a purple patch at the start of the 1980s.

  Are you sure Villa have spent over 100 years as a top flight club. I seem to remember them in the old 3rd division.

  Why are Villa a club of "far greater scale and history than Tottenham"? I don't support either side, but one could easily make a case that Villa are a side whose glory days were 100 years ago, and who had one glorious purple patch (two seasons) in the 1980s.
  
  You're also mistaken about the two poor chairmen - Deadly Doug's predecessor was sufficiently inept to let Ron Saunders leave just months after the European Cup win.

  Slightly misleading I think. Firstly Villa have played over 600 more matches and secondly the points also do not take account of the leagues that the points were won in.

On the basis that they had one great team in the '80s I'd suggest that they are as big as Notts Forest.....or Ipswich.
We've won trophies decade after decade, albeit not as many as id have liked in the last decade,

 

[Danny1]

Dumb ass Villa fan using that website to say they are bigger than us. Would they have accepted it if Preston fans started saying how crap Villa are and are a nothing club compared to them? Haha! Villa have been a poor team for as long as I can remember, they had a bit of a period under Martin O'Neill where they were ok, but other than that have been generally a poor side.

They were pretty decent under Little and O'Neill too. Little got 4th/5th back to back with a couple of league cups too. Ron Atkinson got 2nd with them in the 90s. They finished above our well remembered Gazza/Lineker 3rd team. They've not managed to sustain it for more than a couple of seasons at a time really but pre-ENIC they were consistently well above us for a decade. When I was growing up in the 80s/90s, I always saw Spurs, Villa and Everton kind of like the same club in different parts of the country. Although Villa's lack of a decent local rival hasn't helped, and we've got capital advantage, I would say how the clubs have diverged shows what an owner can do.

Conveniently starting in 1888, 20 years before we joined the Football League. If you start the table from then, we're 12th and Villa plummet to 37th. Rather indicative of Villa's past glories.

Ha it's an utterly ludicrous table which doesn't differentiate between the four different divisions in their various incarnations over the years, nor even feature the Southern League teams from the turn of the last century when that league was a credible rival to the football league.

From scum mania:

Mike Dean....Spurs fan?
That would explain a lot!

He's done something similar before too for a Spurs goal too IIRC. Think it was against us actually.

It was ridiculous. There must be another explanation? How can he be at the top of his profession but be so blatantly unprofessional?

If you still have doubts, dont. :lol:

We need to get this joker out of football.

(from a villa fan) It's the little fist pump at the end that gets me.
There was also an incident last night when Westwood got elbowed in the face (confirmed he's got concussion as a result) so went down holding his head for ages whilst Spurs were attacking. It happened right in front of Dean and he didn't stop play.
The guy is a moron.

He is a mother ****ing fool, you being too kind Stevo.
There will come a time when Dean, and others, corruption will be put in the spotlight. FIFA officials falling is only the beginning I feel. Referees, doping and many others have their part to play as well.
I personally hope he is jailed for his "work" in football.

That is absolutely unbelievable, I've never seen anything like it.
There has got to be some sort of plausible explanation here.
He literally looked like he was on the verge of going off and celebrating with the Spurs players.

Two things.
1. Him pointing about 5 times to the middle, that's a celebration.
2. The fist pump around the halfway line.
This bald **** is as bent as they come.

I love it... but it's typical football fan conspiracy rubbish seeing something that isn't there. It's just his style

Few snippets from a villa forum that made laugh


To be honest he should be investigated for match fixing. That's how obviously bad that starting line up was.

Decent challenge by Lescott, finally.
Shame it was on Sanchez.

I've never seen pundits having a good laugh at the expense of a team before, I hope to never see it again about us, it's embarrassing, more so because they're not wrong.

Gabby touched his half-time kebab more than he did the ball. For that reason he should never play for us again.

Football365 today published this mail from a Liverpool fan:

Spurs and the sound of silence.
Are Liverpool the new Borussia Dortmund of the premier league? They may well model themselves to be the new one, and are a work in progress. But someone has beaten us to the punch as regards being the finished article.

Spurs appear to be coasting along quietly in a similar fashion to their impressive manager. Unnoticed, unassuming. A young side built from the back. I’ll admit before the season began I thought that this was a team that was lacking in squad depth. Like a moth to a flame I was distracted by the sparkling, shiny Harry Kane and the lack of a replacement should he get injured.

However looking across this spurs squad (bar the potential for a Harry Kane Sized hole) this is an extremely impressive, young, balanced squad, without boasting any superstars.

One of the top keepers in the league in Lloris (28yrs) and a capable back up in Vorm (32yrs). Pacey attacking full backs in in Walker (25yrs) and Rose (25yrs). More than adequate cover on either flank with Trippier (25 yrs) and Ben Davies (22yrs). The best current centre back partnership in the league in Vertonghen (28yrs) and Alderwiereld (26yrs). Backup in Dier, if needed, (21yrs) Wimmer (22yrs) and Fazio (28yrs)

A dynamic central Midfield with Dier (21), Alli (19) and backup in Mason (25) Bentaleb (24) and Dembele (28)

Inventive attacking midfield of Erikson (23) , Lamela (23), Son(23), and again capable back up in Chadli (26) and Andros Townsend (24) *cough cough

They have one of the best no. 9’s in the league as a target man with physical presence combined with footballing ability at the age of 22. Noted that Clinton N’Jie at 22 looks fairly raw. Fair enough, Spurs need 2, possibly 3 signings just to beef up their attacking ranks a little but this really could be a squad who could make a statement this season and over the coming seasons.

I’m a Liverpool Supporter, and I like the way this impressive spurs side has taken shape with apparent minimum fuss. It’s the sort of balance that Liverpool need to aim for with our glut of No. 10’s, paucity of backup for our fullback options and currently only having a bambiesque Lovern and an aged Toure as our centre back cover.

I’m going to call it, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Spurs were the 3rd best team in the league this season. Obvious top 2 being Man City and Arsenal. If Liverpool are heavy metal football, Arsenal are an Orchestra, well then Spurs are Simon and Garfunkel. I’d be wary of the sound of silence.
Eoghan, LFC
