Yes I dislike Stoke. For the same reasons I used to dislike Bolton and going back a few years disliking Wimbledon.

But isn't using phrases like 'anti football' leaving you open to allegations of Wengerism ?

Hence, "it isn't just anti-football."

Ah yes, Anti-Football Stoke City.

A shame they don't have someone of the class of the undroppable Ashley Young that can throw himself about on the floor crying, overhit crosses into the stands and generally act the cock. Or maybe a sideways passing crab for a captain. Maybe a player who doesn't have the nuts to go in for a tackle.

Now that, THAT is what real football teams are all about.

Stoke fucked us up last year and they've taken points off us this year. Not bad for team that isn't really playing the same game, is it?

I would settle for crap football and the FA cup. There was no talk of how awful Stoke are when they were smashing Bolton out of sight last week. They play to their strengths, namely the Delap throw in and the fact that most of the team seem to be built like brick shit houses. They don't get pushed around and they can dish it out as well. A side like Stoke, with it's limited resources, needs to have a nasty streak to get results at places like Villa Park. It's dog eat dog in The Premier League. For a club like Stoke City, results and Premier League safety are all that matter.

Of course, it didn't help that Villa were so poor on Saturday.

I really dislike Rory Delap and Stoke. It's such an agricultural way to 'play' football. You don't go far enough in slating them Dave!

You dislike him cuz his lobs into the box are far more accurate and dangerous than what we get from Young and Downing? Yeah, ok, whatever.

I'm sure if Lichaj gets an extended run in our side and starts bombing them in, you'll be on here complaining how it's not in the spirit of the game.

It's all very small-time. We couldn't beat them. At football. At home. Get over it.

Troy I dislike him because he was past it years ago and only gets in the side because of his throws. Every throw in for them is like a corner. There's damn all fluidity to the game when they play.

We'll agree to disagree.

Why, if Stoke's only attacking tactic is Delap's long throw, did the Villa defenders keep kicking the ball into touch, particularly near to the corner flag so that he didn't have to throw it so far?
