Villa bound to be drained from Bayern and Ten Hag always finds a way when on the brink.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Villa bound to be drained from Bayern and Ten Hag always finds a way when on the brink.

When he’s on the brink, he’s usually been blessed with easier fixtures. Though did manage last minute reprieve against Porto

Im thinking score draw

[HCZ_Reborn]

Also I’m sure there’s a reason why Maguire and Evans are starting and De Ligt and Martinez are not. But for the life of me I couldn’t tell you what that reason is

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa bound to be drained from Bayern and Ten Hag always finds a way when on the brink.

Yeah exactly, always hard to get back up for the next one after a night like that.

Martinez saves from Rashford.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Also I’m sure there’s a reason why Maguire and Evans are starting and De Ligt and Martinez are not. But for the life of me I couldn’t tell you what that reason is

A line-up to sit deeper and counter attack I'd have thought.

The likelihood is they will just be as open as ever when the game progresses though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Rogers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why is Rick Wakeman on the Villa coaching staff?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Konsa off injured, Diego Carlos on.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Why is Rick Wakeman on the Villa coaching staff?

He’s not on the coaching staff, he’s just in and around about it

:rimshot:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maguire holding on to the ball, is that not delaying the restart?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maguire is injured.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Ligt and Lindelof are on now

[HCZ_Reborn]

Forest in front, Chris Wood

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 0-1 Forest, Wood!

[HCZ_Reborn]

Madueke equalises 1-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-1 Forest, Madueke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Onana saves from Tielemans.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rashford avoids a second yellow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bailey off, Duran on for his customary goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandes hits the bar!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rogers. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ward-Prowse sent off for Forest.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zirkzee. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Officials delaying the restart, multiple yellows for all imho.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 0-0 Man Utd, FT. :lol:

Horrendous match.

Brighton v Tottenham can complete three Sky 0-0's this weekend.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-1 Forest, FT. :lol:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Full time Chelsea 1-1 Forest

Forest with 10 men almost won it in the end as well

But happy to see Chelsea drop points

[HCZ_Reborn]

In fact both results satisfying, would have preferred a Forest win. But Villa dropped points, and Ten Hag doing just enough to save his worthless hide and keep United going nowhere is best outcome all round

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Could barely see Ange there. :lol:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Another post game stat, after 7 games only Southampton have scored fewer goals than United

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Spuds.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 0-1 Tottenham, Johnson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Welbz.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 0-2 Tottenham, Maddison.

Poor from Verbruggen.

[Mac76]

Total letdown from Brighton, c'mon Welbz ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 1-2 Tottenham, Minteh!

What was that from Udogie?

[HCZ_Reborn]

Brighton 1-2 Tottenham, Minteh!

What was that from Udogie?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 2-2 Spuds, Georginio!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WELBZ!

[HCZ_Reborn]

WELBZ!

Still haven’t forgiven him for screaming at the referee to send Rice off

But good stuff Brighton leading

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham FT! Quite the collapse.

Spuds. :haha:

[Letters]

Spurs :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Bloody love Spurs.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Bloody love Spurs.

Enough of that

[Letters]

:lol: I know what he means though.
They are a constant source of amusement.
Spanking Utd in their own back yard to get all their fans excited then going 2-0 up today before Spursing it right up.

:haha:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Let’s be fair Bournemouth beat United 3-0 at Old Trafford last season. Just because the Sky sports commentators were creaming over them, doesn’t mean they were ever anything special. Going on about Solanke being the best summer signing of any premier league club? Is he fuck. He’s a decent striker, who probably has just about found his level at Spurs.

[Mac76]

Only just checked the final score, i'd given up all hope at 0-2

Spuds :haha:

Welbz :bow:

[Letters]

Just because the Sky sports commentators were creaming over them, doesn’t mean they were ever anything special.
Of course not. Last weekend’s result says a lot more about the hilarious mess at OT than it does about Spurs. But their fans are idiots and repeatedly get excited about these things before the rug is
always pulled from under them. They never learn. It’s hilarious.
The thing about Spurs is they’re not actually that bad, they’re just not at the level they should be for a club with their resources. And their fans never learn from the endless false dawns. They’re just good enough to provide their fans hope but shit enough to provide endless hilarity

In brief…

[Mac76]

Surely worth a DVD...

They couldn’t even be bothered to give a bit of detail about the other nine


I can think of our game at the Emirates in 2012 (5-2), A game against Man United at Old Trafford (also 5-2 I think), game against Man City last year (4-2), against United again at White Hart Lane (5-3) and 3-2 away at Fulham. Those are the ones that stand out


I think last time we lost from 2-0 up was against Wigan in 2010….one of our trademark end of season collapses under Wenger

[HCZ_Reborn]

Right, I’ve actually managed to find the complete list

10) Chelsea 4-3 Tottenham (1993/1994 - Spurs were two nil up

9) Liverpool 3-2 Tottenham (1998/1999) - Spurs were two nil up

8) Tottenham 2-4 Villa (1999/2000) - Spurs were two nil up

7) Tottenham 3-5 Man United (2001/2002) - Spurs were three nil up

6) Fulham 3-2 Tottenham (2002/2003) - Spurs were two nil up

5) Man United 5-2 Tottenham (2008/2009) - Spurs were two nil up

4) Burnley 4-2 Tottenham (2009/2010) - Spurs were two nil up

3) Arsenal 5-2 Tottenham (2011/2012) - Spurs were two nil up

2) Man City 4-2 Tottenham (2022/2023) - Spurs were two nil up

1) Brighton 3-2 Tottenham (2024/2025) - Spurs were two nil up

[Mac76]

The 5-2 at the Emirates was brilliant, they had Redkrapp as manager and his face was a picture as our goals were banging in :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

For 3 or 4 years every bloody NLD around that time was mental. Both teams were totally incapable of defending but had a lot of difference makers at the top end of the pitch. Felt like every game had at least 5 or 6 goals in it.

[Letters]

The 5-4 at WHL was a ridiculous and stressful game :lol:

[HCZ_Reborn]

We played them off the park for the whole of the second half, we just defended like Muppets

[HCZ_Reborn]

My favourite NLD in recent(ish) years was 17 years ago. The 3-1 game at the Lane, where we were handicapped by having Gilberto at centre back (Gilberto a great player for us but a centre half he was not), that really was an end to end contest. Some of the chances both teams had

But we scored two absolute belters in the last ten minutes

[Letters]

We played them off the park for the whole of the second half, we just defended like Muppets

Aye.

That's what made it so stressful. We absolutely walloped them but every time it looked like we had put the game to bed we let them back in.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Fulham 1-3 Villa, Diop OG

You’ve posted to the wrong thread :lol:
