Colin Bell, Dennis Law, Shaun Goater, Georgi Kinkladze, Robinho - your boys took a hell of a beating!!!

What a performance from Villa. So many chances created that when they hadn't scored by half time I thought the chance had gone.

Emery has done a decent job but really this is all Steven Gerrard's groundwork finally paying off. Underrated genius.

Hehe.

That is the best villa performance I've seen in many years. Other big wins have seemed like a bit of a shock. This felt deserved. The most shots ever faced by City since Pep has been there and only 2 of their own. Everyone was absolutely amazing, as was the Holte.
Superb result.

Gerrard broke them down so Emery could build them back up, yeah?

Villa are officially title contenders now. Awesome

Threads on X (formerly Twitter) tell me that Newcastle fans are in huge denial about where 80% of the money comes from.

Crazy last 10 mins of the Everton game

ooof everton
if they get those 10 pts back on appeal, they'll be top .... nearly

Trippier hasn't had a great night.

Spurs gonna spurs.

So 3-3 at City is being Spurs? I think most would take being Spursy if so.

Yeah. City are shit, lol.

I think starting the season brilliantly and then failing to win in five is pretty Spursy to be fair.

So the only way for them to rid themselves of that title is to become Barcelona 2011?

Absolutely gutted he might be out for rest of season. Very exciting player

The way to get rid of it is to become, well, less Spursy.

Points lost from winning position season to date:

20th) Tottenham – 16 points dropped
14 leads, 8 wins, 2 draws, 4 defeats

Look at that number of leads! Fourteen. Nobody can match that. They’ve led in every single game this season except the 2-2 draw at Arsenal, which was still quite a silly game anyway. Most recently, of course, they’ve taken to going 1-0 up early in games and then bringing on all manner of self-inflicted misery to lose, a run they obviously snapped by salvaging a ludicrous 3-3 draw at Man City. Because, again: Spurs. And then they restarted it seamlessly at home to West Ham. Because, again: Spurs.

Happy to let you know which team hasn't lost a point from a winning position this season if you are interested. (10 leads, 10 wins, 0 draws, 0 defeats)

A rival to @Chalfie ‘s Statto crown emerges!

Right and yet the term was born long before this season, were they the leaders in dropping points last season too? Certainly not. My point is that it's a tiresome term. Being Spursy is what every single team does in some respect...Arsenal last season for one.

Hope Arsenal don't go all Spursy this season. Lest's see what happens at Villa Park tomorrow

Here we go, Spurs in front by two points.....

They dropped a lot more points than Arsenal last season...

Yep. In what hasn't been a great season we've had two really exciting players. Koleosho and Lyle Foster who is out for an indeterminate amount of time with mental health problems.

Koleosho you could see improving week on week. Given he'd made less than 20 first team appearances in his career before signing for us (and most of those in the Spanish fourth tier) it's amazing how well he was doing.

I meant throwing away their lead at the top of the table, after being first for months.
