Other club football

The Villa fans at the game seem pretty annoyed by it, so I think we can be.

I really really hope they bring everyone on to chase the game.

They have been horrific so far.

McGinn being slightly injured I think is too much to ask for.

Nothing is ever easy.

Chicago: Feeling stroppy.

No HT subs then? Ho hum.

Villa fans can be as angry as they like but Emery clearly doesn't give a fuck about this game

That 2nd and 3rd sub with 5 minutes left will change everything.

Villa woot in added added time.
Cunts.

Absolute. Fucking. Cunts.

Villa win on Thursday and Emery is a football genius.

For all the last team to go down with 39 points cobblers i'd be keener to know where teams in 36 points with 3 games to go end up.

Stop being so logical.

I think there is reason to be surprised. Let's remind ourselves Spurs have won TWO GAMES since November and have a good 6-10 of their better players injured. They were playing against a team in 5th, who even with 5-6 changes, should have been too strong going on all recent and available evidence. If it's was so obvious you should have made some money , the bookies disagreed.

Look at it this way. If Villa had been up against, say, Everton, at home this afternoon, decided to rest a bunch of players, been utterly abject and lost - we'd likely all be seeing it as a positive for Forest ahead of Thursday.

You're irritated because it was Spurs. Aside from West Ham, any other Premier League side at Villa Park and nobody from a Forest persuasion would have been giving it this much thought.

Opta now have West Ham at 75%. If we match their points from their next two (Arsenal h, Newcastle a), in our next three, they almost certainly won’t be able to catch us on the last day. Good chance now we’ve already got enough to stay up.

Villa have been shite recently, as evidenced by the game v us if this is apparently the competition they're really pushing for.

Obviously it counts for nothing but I suspect a lot more neutrals will be rooting for us on Thursday now.

Why? That wasn't Villa playing today so don't see it has much bearing on Thursday other than a positive for them as players have more rest which is generally seen as a good thing.

I doubt it.

He’s thrown a game. They will likely beat us on Thursday with a rested full strength side and then beat Burnley to ensure CL football. There is nothing anyone can do about it

What irritates me is what a whiny fucking bitch Emery was about VAR/Anderson and then he pulls this stunt.

He’s definitely high on my cunt list
