Aston villa vs spurs Sky sports 1

Jax Teller

Villa: Friedel, Lichaj, Collins, Cuellar, Warnock, Albrighton, Delph, Hogg, Heskey, Agbonlahor, Downing


Spurs: Gomes, Hutton, Kaboul, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Modric, Palacios, Bale, Van der Vaart; Defoe

Should be good attacking game

Johner

Really looking forward to this one, hopefully lots of goals.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Didnt realise Villa were missing so many! Should be a great game anyways. On paper it looks like a handy Spurs win but we all know thats never the case with us!!
I'm going for a 2 goal win, Defoe and VDV to score, wouldnt surprise me to see Heskey causing us problems like he did at the Lane.

Johner

I've gone for Spurs at 23/20 and over 3.5 at 2/1.

Bodhisopha

Rubbish Villa line-up.

I threw 4 euro on a 2-1 Spurs win with VDV scoring first to keep me interested. Would've went for a bigger Spurs win had i seen the line-ups.

Raskolnikov

Good start from Villa - has Dunne been axed?

Jax Teller

Is Richard Dunne injured ? Or just dropped like Ireland ?

iMuse

great start to the game

Not even on the bench, same for Ireland. Bizarre.

Dropped and on his way out apparantly.

He was told he was fourth choice CB I think.

Nasty tackle from Albrighton completely overlooked by Gray.

That's disgraceful . I like villa as my Grandad supports them but houllier seems to be doing a terrible Job so far IMO

Raskolnikov

Shocking tackle and not even a card shown.

Raskolnikov

Really worrying for the Irish team that our best players (Given, Dunne, Ireland, Keane) aren't getting their game for their respective clubs.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

VDV got up straight away in fairness to him.

Gomes, that man is gonna give me a heart-attack some day...

matrim

Should have been a peno

whatawaster

Definite peno

Raskolnikov

Very sloppy from Spurs so far.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

That was the most inconspicuous challenge I ever seen from Lichjaj or whatever his name is..

Damn!! Looked out anyhow..

matrim

I'm not sure if that was out. Bit lucky there for Villa

The Muppet

very enjoyable game so far.

Raskolnikov

Bale has been crap so far. Villa on fire though.

Dunnes been rubbish all season. If anything houlier was too slow in dropping him.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Not hard to see where our lack of clean sheets stems from..:(

Raskolnikov

Embarassing defence from Villa there. Two chances to get to that ball.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Get the fcuk in!!!!!!!!! All about Modric, what a fcuking ball!!!!

The Muppet

Good goal, fantastic through ball from modric

matrim

Collins was worse from what I have seen. Again at fault for the goal.

Ordinary man

terrible defending

Whatabout playing delph and Hogg when reo Coker and petrov on bench ?

BOHtox

A few seconds behind but no annoying stuff on the side

Raskolnikov

Bobby Pires looked fairly ancient looking there on the Villa bench.

BERBA

get in there , vdv special

Insect Overlord

Ooh, that'll make things interesting! :eek:

Raskolnikov

Oh dear Defoe.

flahavaj

Sublime pass from Modric for the goal, what a player.

Raskolnikov

No way was that a red. Yellow yes, no way a red.

matrim

Harsh red there. He led with the arm but it wasn't intentional

The Muppet

Harsh red IMO

BERBA

disgraceful decision by ref

Jax Teller

Wasn't a red card . I've seen worse gone unpunished

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Joke. WTF like!? He didnt even look at him ffs...

flahavaj

Yellow card offence IMO.

BOHtox

Anyone else think it was a red?

I thought he had a sneaky look(corner of the eye stuff) at Collins just before the jump and then lead with the arm/elbow.
IMO good call ref!

Raskolnikov

Gomez being pelted with snowballs!

matrim

It did look worse at first (as he seemed to come in hard) but should only have been a yellow.

Ordinary man

Should be yellow but red will do. :D

~Rebel~

Very harsh imo.

Maybe a yellow as a warning, but red was definitely too much.

I thought that initially but had a closer look at the replays. From what I could make out, Defoe had his eyes on the ball the entire time. Should not have been a red.

Insect Overlord

He'll get it over-turned on appeal. Could be too late by then though!
