tottnum fans when other teams have injuries: ‘‘part of the game, deal with it, mate’’
tottnum fans when its their team: ‘‘literally impossible to win with injuries dont you dare talk shit about us’’
Yeah mate, we’re just gonna keep doing the same shit every game mate, even if we lose mate.
Under Wenger’s new offside rule this would have been a score fest
What the fuck is Unai cooking
Bust phase well under way.
Man, Gerrard was weighing that team down immensely, they look so different!
Always help when you sign certified bangers in Pau and Moussa, quality recruitment.
Watkins is a beast.
Unai Emery got on the Aston Villa seat mid way through last year and hasn’t stopped cooking.
Obligatory Gerrard is a fraud.
1st place is lava?
Matty cunt has injured 3 of our players now. Hopefully he gets hit by a car on his night out.
How a month can change so much for a football team. That’s why you never get too excited this early.
Villa absolutely overwhelmed in the first half, game should’ve been over by 30 mins. Seems like the press really dropped off in the second half. December might not be too kind to Tottenham.
Villa are cracked…
Tottenham deserved to win the game but by having full-backs as central-backs it is normal that they lost
That was an entertaining match. Ange is probably going to cop criticism but it’s not his fault his players couldn’t finish. Another day and they could’ve easily had 6 goals.
Good ebening.
