Newcastle v Spurs

[EricaJacko]

Bale coming on an hour too late.

[FCBurnley]

Another Loan goal !

[Bigvince]

I love it when people give their opinions like it’s fact

[taio]

Appalling free kick by Bale

[EricaJacko]

I love it when people give their opinions like it’s fact

At least capitalise it. It's FACT.

[fanzone]

Possibly the worst Spurs squad for 15 years

[Vino blanco]

I think Mourinho's future is behind him.

[Boss Hogg]

Anyone can beat anyone. Teams below us can certainly string a few wins together just as we are able to have a few stinkers together. Without Grealish Fulham will fancy it today and I think they will get something. Still a lot to play for.

[EricaJacko]

A very poor Spurs perfornance.

Must not lose for next week.

[FCBurnley]

We were lucky Newcastle only drew

[Bigvince]

I’ve been assured by many on here, that we’re not in a relegation battle. I hope they’re right!

They are right, once we get 3 more points. If we beat Newcastle, we're sorted.

[tiger76]

Oh! well at least Newcastle didn't win, frustrating though that if we'd have seen today out we'd be pretty much safe now, Instead we face a crucial encounter next week against a Newcastle side who appear to be on the up.

[fanzone]

It's all ifs

[EricaJacko]

It's all ifs

And maybes. Don't forget those.

[Longsidebogs]

It's all ifs

Ok. If we beat any team in the next eight games we are safe. Looks doable.

[jurek]

Big, big game against Newcastle coming up.
Can't afford to lose it especially if Fulham pick something up at Villa.

[willsclarets]

I couldn't quite be bothered to do it, but betting on that equaliser was printing money at 8/1 for a draw after 80 minutes.

[Spijed]

Instead we face a crucial encounter next week against a Newcastle side who appear to be on the up.

They've taken four points from the last seven matches.

[Top Claret]

Always difficult for the away side after an international break with all the travelling the players have been doing, it breaks their norm and effects performances.

[tiger76]

They've taken four points from the last seven matches.

True but their performances have arguably deserved more, and they certainly won't be an easy opponent next week, so we'll need to have our game face on when they come calling, 3 points next Sunday and we'll be just about over the line baring the shouting, but a draw or even worse a defeat, and we'll be nervously glancing over our shoulders once again.

[EricaJacko]

Villa are just asking to concede. Very very weak when Fulham attack.

[Conroysleftfoot]

The way Fulham have started i think Newcastle with turn up at the Turf next week in the drop zone.

Fulham play good football, they did that 2 years ago when they were in the Prem. But their performances rarely brings the result.

I'd prefer Newcastle to drop though - Dyche will be in the hat for the job if they stay up.

[NewClaret]

We definitely are mate.

[tiger76]

We definitely are mate.

As it stands we are, and the Newcastle & Fulham games have now assumed even greater importance, win next week and it's hard too see how we'll go down, however lose and suddenly it's getting very tight, and we'll be right in the mire.

Yep & Newcastle looked pretty decent today.

Hate watching games like this needing other to do us favours.

[Bigvince]

You’ve contradicted yourself, we need 3 more points. Then we won’t be in a relegation battle

[Bigvince]

You just know damn well Callum Wilson will be back for Newcastle next week, their best goal getter, just like Ings was today!

[Conroysleftfoot]

Without Grealish Villa look very ordinary. When you consider how much the team they have put out actually cost it doesn't say much for their recruitment.

[EricaJacko]

It involves a bit of thinking, but no contradiction so can understand why you didn't get it

Thanks for the insult!

[tiger76]

They definitely lack a spark when he's not playing, and of course every club will miss key players, but the real worry for Villa is their drop off is so acute when he's absent.

And it's too our credit that we notched 4/6 points against them when he played in both encounters.

When you consider the vast funds Villa have spent over the past couple of years their performance is average at best.

[tiger76]

HT 0-0 Villa pen rightly overturned by VAR bang on the whistle, and without Grealish Villa have yet to muster an effort on target.

[NewClaret]

Villa penalty overuled by VAR. Correct decision, unfortunately.

Pretty poor without him, aren’t they?

[Dodobdobodobo]

Defo penalty for Villa not given. Why does the ref go and look at the monitor, can’t VAR make the decision?

I thought it was in real time. But appears a good use of VAR to change the decision.

[tiger76]

Pretty poor without him, aren’t they?

That's an understatement, and you do wonder how they'll cope long-term if he opts to move on this summer, they struggled badly when he was absent in their first season back in the top flight, and were incredibly fortunate to scramble over the line in the last few games when he eventually returned, now I'm not saying they're a total one man team, but he's a vital cog in their machine, and when he's not available they suffer big time.

[Elizabeth]

It’s the other way round in reality. We have the points advantage on both Newcastle and Fulham. They need us to do them favours

[tiger76]

Lookman off injured for Fulham that's a big blow for them.

[NewClaret]

Now 1-0 up.

We’re in trouble.

[claptrappers_union]

I can’t believe this

[Conroysleftfoot]

Mings, England class.

[SGr]

Absolute disaster of a day all round.

[Devils_Advocate]

Mings doing his Nick Pope impression

[Taffy on the wing]

Farting around at the back ........again!

[Spijed]

How on earth does Tyrone Mings get picked for England?

[jedi_master]

Beat Newcastle and they’re relegated - Fulham will finish above us in my opinion.

[SalisburyClaret]

Mings fresh from his success with England
