What results would you like?

I'm still looking behind us, so at the moment thinking Spurs to beat Villa and perhaps an Arsenal-Newcastle draw.

Agree with you Frank.

Sounds good

I want Villa to go down so hope they get hammered.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 1:45 pm

Draws in both please.

Drinkwater starts for Villa.

I'd like Spuds to beat Villa. Historically I've nothing against Villa but in the last two years they've spend (net) very big bucks and risked a lot on Prem success; it''d be good to see them sweat (if not go down).
Arseenal v Toon - draw please, 2 points to share between them. A nice 0-0 would really get Gooners moaning.

Come on Villa, keep the tottinhams in our reach, on our Euro quest.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:10 pm

1-0 Villa

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:10 pm

Tottenham defenders helping the cause!

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:10 pm

1-0 Villa og.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:14 pm

Grealish down 3 times in the first 13 mins.

None of which appeared to be fouls.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:15 pm

He's always on his arse.

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:17 pm

Spuds started off the game like they've never met each other before.
Aurier heading for a red if he keeps diving in on Grealish.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:19 pm

Should have been 2-0 there. Good work from Grealish down their left.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:25 pm

Villa all over Spurs like a rash.

Marty Dobson · Post by **Marty Dobson** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:28 pm

1 all.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:29 pm

Equaliser.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:30 pm

We should have a field day against Spurs defence!

And we're only 3 points behind them.
Hope Villa win this.

Edit...four points behind now.
Come on Villa!

What, is Villas centre forwards first name?

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:48 pm

2-1 Spurs.

That was bloody awful penalty.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:48 pm

VAR gives penalty to Spurs.

Edit....scored from rebound.

ewanrob · Post by **ewanrob** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:52 pm

Villa wide open at the back, shocking.

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:06 pm

Weird game. Villa all over Spuds for half an hour or so when spuds could hardly string two passes together but Villa 1-2 down at half time.
Alderweireld scores a bad own goal then scores with a strikers finish at t'other end.
Ref doesnt initially give a pen but VAR overturns and gives a pen.
Taker misses pen but scores from rebound (good save initially by Reina).

Looking forward to more craziness in H2.

PremierLeagueClass · Post by **PremierLeagueClass** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:07 pm

Drinkwater is a liability.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:11 pm

Any winner Arsenal/Toon and we drop a spot. Draw for me then, keeps us top half.

NL Claret · Post by **NL Claret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:12 pm

Drinkwater could do with unhooking the caravan he looks like he's towing.

And now the guy who gave the penalty away, has now scored!

2-2

Drinkwater is a liability.

Was just going to post the same opinion - has been apalling so far and has just been left
breathing out of his backside chasing a spurs forward after giving it away in the first instance.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:15 pm

Spurs' defence looks awful.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:16 pm

Drinkwater's poor. Might be OK in the Championship if they can continue his loan spell, if they drop.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:19 pm

Drinky taken off.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:19 pm

He looked like he was struggling to breathe after about 25 mins.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:20 pm

Did you see Drinkwater then?? Slid in and messed up the tackle, got to his feet and ran backwards away from the ball while Spurs were on the attack.

Appalling.

Off now.

NL Claret · Post by **NL Claret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:20 pm

Drinkwater's probably just opened a can of lager in the dugout.

Newcastle would need to win by four to go above us.

Well I hope Brownhill is a damn sight better.

Spurs have been so powder puff upfront.

Shore claret · Post by **Shore claret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:49 pm

Dont know what's happened to drinkwater, a shadow of the player he was , wonder where his career is going after this season.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:52 pm

Don't know where his career's going, but he's probably off down the disco.

2-3
94th min

Oops!

Spuds win it.

Shame, poor Villa, all that money spent too.

I don't mind that result at all.
