    Never in doubt. 3 points behind 4th. Arsenal here we come!

    Cheers, Benteke. <ok>

    Rubbish performance, really crap effort from loads of our players, but an important win.
    Hopefully Pochettino will be able to build on that, kick a few arses and get us moving in the right direction.

    Villa are ****ing mince

    Another lengthy spell without Benteke and they could well go down.

    1 man team

    Still a very poor performance from Spurs despite the luck and my perfect prediction of the result.

    Kane and Mason in that shot embracing...great shot of some home grown talent coming good.

    Two match unbeaten run, we have a hell of a lot to do as we all know and I'm far from relaxed. Villa must be dire to have lost to such a bad performance and let's not forget that we were lucky. I'll take it though as things stand.

    We were poor but you can't say Villa deserved it either, they had one shot on target! (Have we conceded the most goals from the fewest shots on target in the league?) So a draw would have been fairer probably.

    I don't think Kane is the answer though. Massive deflection on his free kick.

    They say the table doesn't lie. Above united and 3 behind arsenal. It lies!

    Agreed. To think we're just three points off 4th place is plain nuts. We're light years away from being anywhere near top 4 challengers. Today's result could have gone either ay and we'd realistically be looking at the bottom 6. Ironically this win won't do us any favours.

    Kane is one gormless looking ****er, ain't he? <laugh>

    Loved the way he kept shaking his head when Lamela kept on asking for a chance to take that free kick.

    I hope Poch realises that today was an utter shambles and doesn't rest on his laurels because we won.

    Lambert and the post-match twats were claiming that Benteke was provoked.
    They seemed to miss him making about three fouls and putting himself about a lot prior to that, for some reason.
    He was dishing it out, so they shouldn't be moaning about him getting some back.

    Generous to say the least! Capoue was awful - let his man go and jogged around the park most of the time. Lamela made zero impact again.

    "We needed a bit more urgency and needed to make something happen. We needed to make some tackles."

    This from Harry Kane....wonder if there's any chance of some of our more experienced players thinking a bit like this??
