Spurs Injury Time Winner

[silver blade]

Son Heung-min's stoppage time goal gave Tottenham a last-gasp victory in an entertaining game at Aston Villa as the visitors moved up to fifth in the Premier League table.

The result means Jose Mourinho's side have leapfrogged Sheffield United and are now a point behind fourth-placed Chelsea, who have a game in hand.

I watched it.

Villa played a similar style to Norwich...look decent going forward but far too open and really dodgy/ nervous in defence.

Spurs were lucky to score with 30 seconds of injury time remaining and it was a total blunder by the Villa defender but overall Spurs did deserve to win.

Not too worried about Spurs....they’re decent but look far from their best. We still have to play them at home....so it’s still in our hands to overtake them.

What a cock up by Villas Engels in 94th min. Did a Gerry Young from 1966. No problem, just clear the dropping ball. What a fuck up. Only good thing to come out of that was Grealish on the brink of tears at the end. Just have to beat Spurs Chelsea and Wolves at home now.

It did highlight how much better we are than the other clubs who came up with us.

Being ultra cautious, I didn't really want Villa to win, however a draw would probably have been the best result for us.

Didn't want bloody Europe anyway. (He lied, to ease the pain).

 

[hidesbehindapseudonym]

Villa in the shit now. It's worth it. It's all down to us now. Have faith and book your flights for Juve, Inter etc

Shows have far we’ve come that I’ve sat and watched a premier league game knowing the result could affect our champions league placing!! I wouldn’t have dared to dream we’d be in this position. It’s a shame we no longer produce season review DVDs!

 

[hidesbehindapseudonym]

Spurs are shit, Villa are just shitter.

 

[BrinsworthBlade]

6th 26 games in, wilder out

 

[Bladesman]

I am still trying to workout out what that Villa defender was trying to do.

 

[LS16Blade]

Spurs' next 3 league games are Chelsea (A), Wolves (H), and Burnley (A). Tricky.

 

[SwissBlade]

Didn’t really think either side deserved the win. They both play wide open at the back there was calamity from both sides

Draw seemed a fair result but that twat Son changed that

Spurs are shit, Villa are just shitter.

Spurs are better than us as it stands, sadly.

 

[SUFC Guy]

We'll end up finishing 9th or 10th which would be a remarkable achievement for our first season.

Villa to go down and then we can add Grealish to our squad. Should only be around £35m for a Championship player

Grab Pukki and the odd player from Watford and we're on our way

Easy this manager malarkey

Not for long

 

[Guesty]

Not for long

Let's hope!

If Spurs keep getting opponents like they have in the last two, we've got our work cut out.

Dreadful defending from both sides through the whole game capped off with the worst piece of all. That game should've been five all and not because they were so good coming forward.

The plus side is Spurs didn't look very good.

Yeah don’t think we have anything to worry about with Spurs!

They seem to have a lot of luck though

 

[TimofeeVee]

Spurs Chelsea Saturday, I'd take a draw!

 

[SUFC Guy]

Spurs Chelsea Saturday, I'd take a draw!

Chelsea v Man U tomorrow. Draw as well please

 

[blade too long]

On the plus side we are still 15 points clear of the bottom 4 clubs
And on watching the game both sides look really poor at yhe back which augers well

Are you really still worried about relegation?

 

[Guesty]

Even I'm not worried about relegation, which is saying something.

I hardly think we can say 'Spurs are nothing to worry about ' though, given that they're above us this deep into the season.

Why would we collapse to there

Can't see it
On watching Spurs today thought they were wide open at the back
We are as good if not better than all the teams from 7th to 12 th

Agree.....can’t believe that some of our own fans still have doubts and don’t rate us.
Villa and Spurs today we’re both really poor in defence....in fact based on what I’ve seen of Spurs recently think we are a better side.
Still confident we’ll make Europe....but suspect that realistically it will be Europa League.

 

[BigBed]

Down to 6th!
Wilder out!

 

[bypassblade]

Villa had the game in their own hands but terrible in defence and if Grealish could stay stand up they might attack more, but they committed suicide defending at end and really got just rewards.

 

[wizadry]

Chelsea v Man U tomorrow. Draw as well please

I’d rather Man Utd win.

I wouldn't say I have doubts about us. I just think it's where we will finish. It's so tight around us.
The higher the better hopefully but I feel we will finish short of a euro spot. Hope I'm wrong though
