It could have easily been 12 or 13! Just one of those days I guess. Villa host Spurs on Saturday so hopefully we can give them a bit of payback!

To be honest I'd be a lot more bitter and miserable if I didn't have a load of other stuff to be doing! It's still an absolute pisser though, and the fact it's not the first time we've been mauled this season (Man U, Portsmouth, fucking Blackpool for chrissakes) makes it a bit worrying. We're the same team that's had a few great results so far this season, but the fact we can also be a great team one week and an absolutely shocking one the next is very frustrating.

You lot have Spurs and were off to Wigan.

It really could have been 12 or 13 aswell, Spurs missed a lot of great chances in the first half.

To be honest the biggest shock was Martinez not thumping that wanker of a reporter one in the post-match interview. Judging by his latest performances, Roy Keane would've knocked him out for the kinds of questions he was coming up with

What interview? What happened? I mustn't have seen this.

The one on the BBC website. Dunno if it's the same one that goes out on Match Of the Day. At least that's what I, in that first, emotionally-shattered hour or so after the final whistle read into it. Can't remember the whole thing exactly, just a bunch of smug, sneering questions which might as well have just said 'are you embarrassed to be a Premier League manager now'?

Nice to see the Wigan players are going to personally refund the money back to those Wigan fans that travelled to White Hart Lane.

Cleaners in Ireland have decided their Henry vacuum cleaners really suck - after Thierry Henry's handball ended the nation's World Cup dream.
Angry workers can't bear to look at the smiley-faced machines. Some have painted out the word "Henry" while others have daubed over its cheerful face. BBC

That may be a little over the top, but i got a kick out of it.

Out of what?
The players repaying the fans, or kicking your Henry vacuum cleaner?
