3 bits of luck going for Spurs in that half.

ball falling back to Toby
the pen
the rebound from the pen

Only one Villa moves to chase the follow up. Criminal.

I’m starting to think that something is wrong with their coaching set-up - the squad is decent and Grealish is playing at a superstar level, that should be more than enough to stay up. But they keep shooting themselves in the foot...

We have to buy Grealish in the summer.

Drinkwater is taking the piss now.

Fucking shitshow

 

[jan]

He's Manchester bound surely

We have to buy Grealish in the summer.

At the right price it would be an upgrade on the ox.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Engels makes up for the 'penalty giveaway'

Great corner Grealish

 

[hmmmmm1]

Now Engels redeems himself

 

[rurikbird]

Nice symmetry about this game...

Really fucking naive from Konsa trying to play it out the back when surrounded by Spurs players.

Good save Pepe, some of the defenders in front of him really not doing him any favours.

Arsenal XI - Leno Bellerin Mustafi Luiz Saka Xhaka Ceballos Ozil Pepe Aubaymeyang Nketiah

Newcastle XI - Dubravka Lazaro Fernandez Lascalles Clark Rose Longstaff Bentaleb Almiron Saint-Maximin Joelinton

Chelsea. They have the cash as it is, albeit less than they used to, Spurs financial planning around the new stadium is based on them being in the CL every season, so they immediately lose loads of cash to strengthen the squad, which is ageing, so them missing out could take them out of the running as a top club, at least temporarily.

100% this.
Would be devastating for Spurs to miss on the UEFA cash. As well, Europa League fixture congestion would be great.

Plus the Mourinho factor.
Fuck Spurs.

Reina on top form today

Villa been really poor this last half hour

Engels fucks up again

 

[hmmmmm1]

Dreadful from Engels again. Spurs win

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

Awful mistake there. Feel bad for Reina. He had a great game.

 

[tombrown]

Oh fuck. Was just writing a post about CL qualification for @Treboeth's benefit.

Oh well ... next week

 

[hmmmmm1]

So many poor signings from villa

 

[binomial]

It's actually unbelievable most times how many mistakes a premier league side can make.

 

[CT_LFC]

Just ghastly mistakes by Villa defensively.

Going by names, Bayern Munich must have one of the best squads in the world.

Them Juve and PSG have ridiculously good squads.

True, some of them have a top player as cover for every position.

Is inketa the marinelli

 

[FoxForceFive]

Every other side I watch now, i just constantly think "What was that? Why are you making that decision there?" & these are pretty good sides.

We're just that good, & we make so few mistakes, even when playing 'poorly', that watching other sides just pales in comparison.

Xhaka with a blatant trip on Saint Maximim but guess what? Nothing given

 

[binomial]

Aaaaaaand Xhaka gets booked for being XHaka

8 minutes in, he's a fucking liability.

Yep. I dont get to watch much Barca or Madrid but the only team I've seen recently or regularly who is even in the same ballpark as us is Bayern.

The quality and speed of thought all around the park is just another level from anything on display elsewhere.

Sean Longstaff isn't very good is he?

Newcastle definitely a threat on the break.
