    Unai Emery has Aston Villa in 4th. What a fucking madman. Give this prodigy a team with Villa in it's name and he will work miracles.

    The irony of r/coys having a “Fuck Matty Cash”thread when they’ve had a dirty squad for years.

    Petition to rename offside goals Boomerangs in honor of Boomer Ange. Looking for signatures.

    I'd say these games are pretty much a write off with the current backline anyway, brave setup from Ange which resulted in a much more positive game than the Wolves one, but unfortunately didn't pay off in the end

    Okay lads time to rationalise why this loss was actually a good thing because of philosophy or something like that

    Almost as if when we lost 4 or 5 key starters and had to play the same old culprits under our previous managers, we start playing seeing the same problems.

    Not seeing the Spurs players bring out their kids for a victory lap after a dodgy result anymore, really makes you fall out of love with football 💔

    Unai Emery got on the Aston Villa seat mid way through last year and hasn’t stopped cooking.

    Obligatory Gerrard is a fraud.

    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.

    People bantering Postecoglou but he’s been a revelation for Spurs. They’ve been utterly crippled with injuries and still gave us a hell of a game in the first half. They’re a million miles away from the team that sleepwalked to the end of last season.

    Its not impossible that they’ll lose to city as well but overall, he seems like the right man to give time to.

    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.

    We were pretty toilet in the first half, much better in the second. The offside trap worked well. I really don’t know how we won, all said, but I also don’t care :)

    Romero does 10 Matty Cash tackles a game but thats fine with Spurs fans. Its not Cash fault that Bentancur is made of paper lmao wasn't even a horrible challenge

    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.

    Tottenham deserved to win the game but by having full-backs as central-backs it is normal that they lost

    Yeah mate, we're just gonna keep doing the same shit every game mate, even if we lose mate.

    Mate mate mate mate you wouldn't believe it mate but Unai Emery's brilliant Aston Villa side went up to the media darling's backyard and utterly smoked them mate. They conceded first mate but then Big Pau Torres headed a towering header home past Big Ainge's keeper mate then Ollie Watkins grabbed the game-winner mate, oh my God mate unreal scenes to witness mate and such a dagger to the hearts of Sky Sports and every other UK-based media who hyped up these lot while the whole world knows these guys have losing in their club's DNA and their downfall was only a matter of time mate

    In Defence of Ange though, I will say his football actually makes watching spurs intriguing when you compare it to the last 4-5 abysmal years.

    They'll look really good when they have all their players back, Son looks a mess without Kane / Maddison.

    Don't worry Spurs, in times like these you may borrow a phrase which has given us strength on many a cold point-less night: next year is our year!
