Just started my 3rd bootle of wine, can't remember feelin so happy about a result..everything just just seemed like it was our day..don't text very often...love reading all d different opinions...but even d most cynical posters must have loved that
 
Although the result was the most important thing from today, it was so encouraging and pleasing that the performance was top notch. Hopefully, this can continue until the end of this season. 🤞
 
We live and learn ; I never meant to offend anyone tbf .

We’ve all had a very very good evening nevertheless.

I’m bloody relieved I can tell you . Onwards!!!*

* live from a pub in N Lndn !!

Edit ; I’ve seen what illicit drugs can do to people, families and communities ; I wasn’t implying an endorsement of them
Don't sweat it bro! Maybe a raw issue for some, and the meaning was lost initially.
 
Because they're still unable to buy alcohol legally in the United States? :D

It's still not getting through to people just how catastrophically bad the 2024 summer window was for Spurs. Back in Europe, playing twice a week and we signed Solanke and teenagers. Those teenagers then had to play a lot because we had the never ending injury crisis.

In a perfect world Gray and bergvall would only now be getting minutes in the odd PL game and Cup games. The fact they've been starters for us since November 2024 is why we are in the mess we are.
I am hoping and praying that RDZ has leverage in the summer and that he does not do a Pochettino.
 
The game is over. Analysis pointless. Leeds. How do we set up? Same or tweak.

If West Ham lose to that lot, a win means West Ham will have to win their last 2 games to have any chance. They are now under severe pressure.

Never had much fondness for Villa or Emre, but god bless the vampiric spaniard and his legion of brummie slags.

They've really done us a massive favour tonight. We played great but they were utter pigwank.
They were not, we harried and harassed them into servility. Outstanding performances like that make good teams look shite.

We shut it all down. We earned the win. If Tel had been less selfish, we'd have been 4-0 up before HT.

I said we played great and yes we fully earned the win. Probably our best 90 minute performance of the entire season.

But c'mon man, that was a weakened Villa team and they didn't even have a shot on target until the 96th minute. We made them look bad...but they also played shite and clearly had Europa in mind.

A bit harsh ; but I agree with the sentiment.

FWIW ; I’ve always thought the Unai Emery had devoted himself to getting one over the Arse ever since they sacked him ( having given him the impossible task of replacing AW ; hence he’s one of our own , when you think about it ) , just saying.
 
Let's be clear here. Not a favour. That side Dick picked was for Villa and not us. We benefited but.....
In what world does any team get to pick for themselves all the time? God knows we haven't.

You play what you can. We did the same and we were up for it, played some sexy football and totally deserved the win against a strong opponent. We lose that game 9/10 times with Frank or Tudor.

Respect to Zebedi, he's sprung us into action.

We fielded our best team available, missing 8 or 9 of our first 11. You can't reframe this as anything other than a monumental success.
