The Misery of Supporting Aston Villa Entry I
Aston Villa – Tottenham 2:00 pm Sunday 16th February 2020
Having looked at a variety of blog posts, social media entries and general banter from Aston Villa fans, the general outlook for today’s game is positive.
This baffles me. I understand that there should be some optimism as we are in a cup final, but let us not forget the fact that we just lost to Bournemouth. Incidentally they have now taken six point from us this season and are supposed relegation rivals.
Sometimes I think we forget that we are Aston Villa. If something is going to go wrong then it will.
Aston Villa are a club that build expectations and then attempt to crush them. I understand the enthusiasm about the cup final, but what’s going to happen in that? I can tell you and it will be worse than the six one home defeat. Manchester City will destroy us.
So that brings us to today’s opponents – Tottenham. Spurs are better than us in every department. They have a better defence, midfield and attack. Now please don’t get me wrong. Jack is a wonderful player and he would get in the Spurs side, but that is all. He alone is not going to be enough.
I am predicting a four nil win for Tottenham. It will be comfortable.
So let’s please keep the optimism down. We are Aston Villa after all.
Prediction: Aston Villa 0 – 4 Tottenham
