Its all pretty irrelevant tbh...unless you are going to do a Barca combined with Newcastle 1996 with a touch of Man Utd 2013 thrown in ... the title will be sitting proudly in you trophy cabinet next season. Villa fans must be pig sick!
But what if we're still 8 points clear this time tomorrow night? Don't start counting points you don't have
You know the hierarchy in football has changed forever when Liverpool fans get cocky on the back of being 8th in the league and having a good result in the UEFA Cup
I used to be best friends with a Villa fan at school. I'd love to still be in contact with him now, he used to take the piss so much
Fair enough, but not all ur fellow Spurs fans are as honest as you and like I said, if you do pip us to the post then it would be fully justified and earned and I wouldn't be blaming Lady Luck a referee's conspiracy theory etc etc Let's just enjoy the moment cos it may never happen again.... All the best no matter what the outcome !
A villa fan called something like holtelegend was always on the spurs board on the old 606 site...aman of a million stats all to prove villa were better than spurs ... don't know what happened to him after that site shut down but am guessing that villa being cack since 2012 may be a reason he aint been seen!
I have to confess, I've just watched a few highlight reels of him when he was at Mainz and he does have a style that has similarities to Lineker's, with the obvious difference being that he hasn't been anywhere near as prolific. It's strange because most of his goals for you (with the exception of that overhead kick against I think it was Newcastle) have been exceptionally lucky finishes, either benefiting from a lucky bounce, deflection or rebound. Watching him playing for you, I assumed that finishing wasn't remotely his strongest point as there is so little evidence to say otherwise. But the goals he scored in Germany were often very, very nice finishes.
Which is where we were a month ago so you have lost ground with four less games to make it up but if you do then fair play !
He was prolific for Mainz and his national team but he's not been played as the number 9, go-to striker as he's played as the link between midfield and Vardy. I don't think i've seen him go one-on-one or anything like that. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on if he's played further up front but I suspect Ulloa will come in as a direct swap to Vardy.
I think Holte would be keen to point out that despite Spurs and Villa being separated by 18 places and 49 points, Villa are still ahead in the all time top flight league table and you've never won the cup with the big ears
But a lot of Linekers finishes had an element of luck but again you won't appreciate my comparison until he assumes the main striker role and can also see ulloah starting in a 442 aka Lineker / Smith esque ?
Leicester and Tottenham,come on he says.Another Arsenal dreamer hits the deck! I've always told Arsenal fans to send their players to Tottenham for the day.Even our useless teams in the past could teach you. I've also mentioned that without choppers in their defence they ain't much good.Just like United! Watch Mourinho bring in a couple of choppers while Wenker won't......
I liked his reluctance to view Villa's achievements pre-1920 as anything less than very relevant now. Given that 6 of their 7 titles and 6 of their 7 F.A.Cup wins came before 1920, it was understandable
