    Mate mate mate mate you wouldn’t believe it mate but Unai Emery’s brilliant Aston Villa side went up to the media darling’s backyard and utterly smoked them mate. They conceded first mate but then Big Pau Torres headed a towering header home past Big Ainge’s keeper mate then Ollie Watkins grabbed the game-winner mate, oh my God mate unreal scenes to witness mate and such a dagger to the hearts of Sky Sports and every other UK-based media who hyped up these lot while the whole world knows these guys have losing in their club’s DNA and their downfall was only a matter of time mate

    Villa absolutely overwhelmed in the first half, game should’ve been over by 30 mins. Seems like the press really dropped off in the second half. December might not be too kind to Tottenham.
