(15/04/2000)

[@TheSuperBestComment]

3 great goals from Villa, not given full justice by the commentator!

[@MrClitheroe]

Spot on TSBC!! Jonathan Pearce would have exploded :o

[@MrDaiseymay]

@daveorourke77 football True, every time Villa Scored ''it was a disaster for spurs.'' Instead of a great comeback by Villa.

[@bikingbirder2010]

To not scream out WHAT A GOAL!!! to Dion's second was appalling. Hardly mentioned him when he scored, mainly talked about Carbone's cross. UTMV. And thanks Dion. Special moment.

[@paulmersonvillalegend1192]

3 awesome goals Alan Wright what a great servant that little guy was and Dion was class as ever club legend. I love you ASTON VILLA F.C

[@avfc85]

RIP Ugo.

[@julzyboy1973]

Dion Dublin was awesome

[@danielpomerance6910]

I was there that day as a Spurs fan, it was my Poppas 70th birthday and Dion Dublin scored an overhead kick 😂👏

[@gregdeboer1]

this commentator loves spurs!

[@0121zero]

This is footage from Spurs so it makes sense

[@MrClitheroe]

Too right!!

[@walkermorgan1710]

those villa kits were so amazing

[@brianbainbridge461]

An what a goal by alan wright techniqqqqe

[@geoffm9944]

Two great goals by Villa. They refused to buckle under in the second half and fought every inch of the way to a deserved victory. As for Spurs, they had a decent forward line, but their powder puff defence and ploddy defending was always their Achilles heel. In fact, their defensive failings characterised most of the Spurs teams until Redknapp took over.

[@Jake-oh9im]

What a team that was! Quite sad the state we are in now.

[@tm4940]

Well there going great guns now under Emory - could go top this evening.

[@brianbainbridge461]

Footballers were a lot better in them days ,rather than the pampered shite we have to put up with now

[@JonathanWilliams-fj8oe]

I was there as a Villa supporter, but could only get a seat among Spurs fans, so had to try really hard not to stand up and cheer every time AV scored.

[@darrenhammond6384]

I was sitting among Arsenal fans at Highbury in a night game when Chris Price scored his first Villa goal. I tried to contain myself but i couldnt. Price's face was a picture of Joy which i will never forget.

[@walkermorgan1710]

God this era is so amazing!!!!

[@geoffm9944]

Spurs teams in this decade always boasted a couple of outstanding players, but the midfield was always frankly mediocre and the defending was often shambolic. The idea according to Sugar and his managers was that two really good players in the team would help you win trophies. Wrong! Ginola & Anderton were wasted. They deserved to play in better teams. Spurs lacked a decent defence and midfield. No good having gaolscorers if you can’t defend! That would be the curse of this club under Sugar!

[@geoffm9944]

Armstrong was a massive disappointment. He would never find any consistency. He missed countless chances to score! Sadly, he was often injured which blighted his career. Spurs defending in these years was often shambolic and this match wonderfully demonstrated how bad Spurs were at marking and tackling.

[@08avfclion09]

great volleys

[@jaundondopper]

Commentator is on beater blockers 3 stunning goals

[@-7g-]

Aston Villa should have been right up there with Manure throughout the 2000s. If only Ellis released the funds for Van Nistelrooy and others like Gregory wanted.

[@maxwall654]

How biased was that commentary? Was it for a London region or something?

[@geoffm9944]

Another Spurs team with an anonymous midfield, and mediocre full backs, and where the tackling and marking was poor. This was the narrative of the 1990’s before ENIC took over the running and management of the club from Sugar.

[@delki69]

If Alan wright had a man united jersey on the commentator would have wet himself

[@deejay5224]

Can't believe we didnt sign carbone permanently

[@OpenDoorEnglish]

Iverson lucky not to get a red.

[@Dlj71]

I remember Villa stuffing us 2-5 at WHL when Lineker was playing🙈

[@walkermorgan1710]

Carbone was a baller

[@juliataylor2623]

great game by both teams, unbelievably some empty seats.

[@n1k32h]

Steven Clemence now at villa ha odd

[@Roro-xg2ed]
