Fair play to Tom Hanks. He was chanting along with the Villa fans. Seems to be a genuine fan.

A Villa win kills any impetus to be cautious or cavalier. We needed Villa to come away with at least a point, because a loss would have kept Spurs in the hunt with just a draw, and a draw is NOT what WE need, but they would. Now BOTH teams have to go for the win, and Spurs' defence is as leaky as Old Trafford's roof.How does that work? Had Villa lost and spurs drawn with us, that would have needed a 7 goal swing to spurs on the last day? Spurs needed a win against us, still do, and would have done if Villa had lost. The only result that would have helped us was a Villa win?
A Villa loss would have seen Spurs need to avoid defeat against us, a Villa win would kill their CL aspirations and we don't know how they'd react to that, beign defensive, not caring, who knows. But a draw now forces them to actually try and go for the win as they have an outside chance of CL qualification, and we've all seen what happens when they do that (hint, they conceed, a lot)

Their players will want Champions League (irrespective of what fans want). They'll go for it all game, but that's only my thoughts. I wouldn't put money on the way they'll play.they might play last 10 minute football
(I think we'll win anyway).
