And there's the nonsense of VAR ! Didn't we amend the rule to say that in line was onside yet now VAR looks to detect that a player is in front by some ridiculously small margin?

Couple of things I've enjoyed about this game so far.
-the referee generally ignoring Villa's diving and attempts to delay the game, and just letting Spurs play on
-Spurs reverting to Spursiness, having dominated the game but conceded two goals (one disallowed) through weak defending
I'm not looking forward to the Everton game later. The whining on Sky about their points deduction has been utterly nauseating so far. They broke the rules, they tried to disguise that fact, and they've been punished. I see their fans will be waving banners with "Corrupt" on and claiming the Premier League is trying to nail them...boo hoo. They should face up to the fact that this is the best thing that will happen to them all season. Dyche will secretly be absolutely loving it: it will galvanise his team, gets the fans onside, and basically gives him a free pass for the rest of the season no matter how shit they are.
To those going "but what about the FANS?", I say this: what about the fans of the other clubs who didn't cheat by spending beyond their means and were relegated instead of Everton? What about their fans?

As long as City and Chelsea are relegated to the Conference League. Otherwise it is corrupt.

Kind of hoping they both kick the crap out of each other for the remaining time, ideally involving somebody completely mugging Emi Martinez off too.

1-2 Villa. Watkins
Cue 30 minutes of pure shithousery from them.

I just wish we had signed Watkins.
What a player.

Yup. With respect to Maupay, we picked the wrong Brentford striker

Martinez is a helluva keeper

We couldn't afford the fee and wages package at that time.
The fuss about spurs injuries is ridiculous. Listening to the commentary you would think they were playing their women's team
Put it another way. I bet the team they put out cost at least 4/5 times the one we had out yesterday !!
I'm not sure about this Ange guy. The football is reckless.

The old London club bias from the media.
...now now...
Villa, these are a good team this season. That Emery bloke doing a great job.
News of a Spurs revival look premature (see, also, Chelsea)

But still doubts about their away form. And they lost to the woeful forest

Is that now the 4th goal Son has scored that ruled out for offside?

It's a great game but Spurs have been sloppy with some attacking and too many offsides.
I can see Villa nicking this.
