The Premier League 2025/26
Thanks for being a dick, Emery.

Surely they have to get some first team players on as some fans are already leaving

This is why Brighton losing yesterday was bad for us. It means they are pretty certain of a top five finish can could afford to essentially take the Mick in this game

Just looked at the momentum chart and don't think I've ever seen a game where one side has dominated so much. If you are going to throw a game, try to make it less obvious. It's like spurs are prime Barcelona and villa are a side playing Tyrone mings

McGinn injured? Mmm…What are the odds he’s absolutely fine on Thursday?

7 changes, maybe not ideal, but the lineup looked ok. But that first half was a disgrace. 0 shots. 0 effort.

Never had anything against Villa, but it completely feels like they’ve thrown this one.

Yep, just looking at the stats now. No shots, no attempts on target, XG 0. Nothing. Its pathetic.

They lost last weekend remember too - it looks to me like the team are gassed, and this motivated Spurs side is just too much of a physical challenge for them after a big game 3 days ago. And they changed today which has clearly disturbed them.

Villa have thrown this match it looks like, to pressure us to play full strength tomorrow and be knackered for Thurs.

ZERO effort actually mad.
COYR!

He's totally entitled to rest players and I don't have an issue with that. But it looks like they've sent out in a way that looks designed to lose. They are putting up no fight. I think you would be hard pressed to find a worse 45 minutes of football in the premier league all season. Is that just coincidence. A bloody good one for villa if you ask me.

I really hope we knock them out on Thursday

AND beat Chelsea.

Then we can rest players, agree a point each deal with Newcastle to ensure safety and play a reserve team for the Manure game.

The fact that he hasn't rung the changes and there has been zero reaction tells you everything you need to I think. Got to question professionalism of these players. Spurs are playing well because villa are giving them every opportunity to do so

Despite how frustrating this is, regardless this is going to be pretty demoralising for them.
