As for the boring comments you can not base your opinion on the Villa on this display when we have defeated the red scouse and manure utd at their grounds and defeated cheskie at the Villa - you do not do that by playing boring football Very fair commentn- – the spurs played well in the 2nd half and on chances should have won it by a mile.But hats off to Villa and mandefended superbly and when you do that there is always a chance that you can nick the game.

First of all i dont like harry neaver have neaver will but i am a spur first and formost and will put up with anything [even man in a raincoat and we got him out eventually] Playing a route one football which i hate [hughes book of coaching]thought defensivly they were brilliant and agree with you friedal made good saves the papers seem to go on about brilliant keepers wrong WE have definetly got to get more options . But they sussed out what to do from hull stoke and wolves [time waste] but more suttle friedal was time wasting switching goalkicks slowing down free kicks and throws but the main thing dan[this is where iam a lune watched the game again ]was fouls and foy quite a few of the so called fouls espicially second half have a look the ones like milner with hudd ball went away from hudd milner jumped in agony got free kick but hudd neaver touched him this went on quite a bit also players like is it quellar went for ball in his area went down holding face game went on eventually he saw game going on and got up quickly other incidents like that all over maybe because of the pressure put on them FOY was garbage and got a lot of these decisions wrong soon as a player went down he blew up But saying that it is happening a hell of alot now i mean gerrard sat went down like a sack of spuds with a head injury everton player neaver touched him pathetic it was but ref was conned. lot of what you said was spot dan it wasnt the style of play which was boring its just we pushed them back and back with no where to go.

WE have definetly got to get more options .
But they sussed out what to do from hull stoke and wolves [time waste] but more suttle friedal was time wasting switching goalkicks slowing down free kicks and throws but the main thing dan[this is where iam a lune watched the game again ]was fouls and foy quite a few of the so called fouls espicially second half have a look the ones like milner with hudd ball went away from hudd milner jumped in agony got free kick but hudd neaver touched him this went on quite a bit
also players like is it quellar went for ball in his area
went down holding face game went on eventually he saw game going on and got up quickly other incidents like that all over maybe because of the pressure put on them
FOY was garbage and got a lot of these decisions wrong soon as a player went down he blew up
But saying that it is happening a hell of alot now
i mean gerrard sat went down like a sack of spuds with a head injury everton player neaver touched him
pathetic it was but ref was conned.

A lot of Spurs fans bizarrely assume we play that crap every game, and that we're a boring side. Truth is, we didn't turn up (with the exception of the back 4). It was the same in the other game, we didn't play. I think it's credit to us for getting 2 points against a very good side despite playing poorly both times. A lot of Spurs fans seem to think it must mean we're a terrible, negative side. Bizarre really, how can a poor side win at United and Liverpool, beat Chelsea, reach a cup final.... Good luck for the season. Yep, as a Villa fan that is the most balanced article I’ve read on the match.

The truth is we are not a boring side and have a lot of attacking talent on the wings and in midfield - our real problem is up front where we are lacking quality, as you pointed out. In many games we are exciting to watch - fast attacking play using old fashioned wingers to cross the ball from the by-line (not lumping it up from the back). However, against Spurs on both occasions this season, and this is credit to you, we have been very poor (except in defence), hence I can see why we would look pretty dull to you guys - that's because you played well against us and over ran us in midfield, which can often happen due to our wide players being stuck on the touchline. Anyway, good luck for the rest of the season, here's to Liverpool finishing seventh. Fair play Dan – as a Villa fan that’s one of the most balanced and accurate articles I’ve read.
