Oh what a 30 yarder screamer by Downing..... Yesss....
time to turn off Pro Evo Soccer on the ps3, the games starting....
-
Friedel
Young - Collins - Dunne - Warnock
Albrighton - NRC - Petrov - Downing
Young
Gabby
-
I'd take a draw here and now.
-
Sorensen
Huth - Faye - Shawcross - Collins
Delap - Wilson - Whitehead - Etherington
Walters - Jones
-
Just team i hoped for (Ireland obviously not 100%).
I think we will win this gabby will score
-
I wouldn't take a draw. What's the point? We need to win. I'd rather us lose and go for the win than draw and just sit on it and play on the counter.
We're better than them in every area, win and we've 9 from 12 with three more winnable games coming up before a tough month. We need as many as we can before October.
-
I know why go for a draw? Lets go for the win. Stoke have been atrocious so far this season, we certainly should be aiming for 3 points.
-
Certainly feeling a bit better about this now I have seen their team!
Who is Walters?
-

Who is Walters?
Young forward from Ipswich. Looked OK so far. Hard working.
-
Thanks JJ. He must be doing well to keep out Fuller, Tuncay and Gudjohnsen
-
No pulis at stoke tonight so both teams managers missing!
-
Thanks JJ. He must be doing well to keep out Fuller, Tuncay and Gudjohnsen
Not Gudjohnsen, I'm more match fit than he is.
-
Gudjohnsen is completely out of shape.
-
Right, Sky is calling, come on you Lions!!!!

I bet you thought that before Newcastle too.
-
Is Ireland on the bench?
-
Is Ireland on the bench?
Yeah.
-
cheers.
-
Why have we got 2 centre-halves (plus Beye) on the bench?
-
In fact that looks pretty crap to be honest!
Subs: Guzan, Ireland, Heskey, Beye, Cuellar, Clark, Hogg.
-
Downing against Huth - I bet Stewart can't wait to get at him.
-

That bench is very poor not many options to change anything with that lot.
-
Where is the Fonz?
-
Sorry to be the first but I can never find them... Any streams..?

-

Thanks for that - looks pretty decent too...
-
Dwight Yorke in the commentary box?
Oh yeah, he played from Man U didn't he?
-
albrigton doing well
-
Evening all, come on Villa we need 3 points from this game.
-
warnock started poor
-
Warnock diving in stupidly again. Lukey saved him there.
-
Stoke are having a good go...
-
Christ this is going to be a long evening.
-
fook, stokes bench looks better than ours
-
Christ this is going to be a long evening.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
-
Jeeze, this isn't the start I was hoping for!
-
Dear oh dear
-
Friedel has hurt his arm.
Guzan warming up.
Wilson looking bright. An underated player.
-
It'd be nice to keep the ball for a bit.
-
Warnock starting poorly again.
-
we need leaders.. we aint got them
-
espn3.com are streaming it - and the picture is fantastic.....hope it's available outside the US as well....
-
back pass by downing
-
What the fuck was that idiot Downing playing at? Fucking hell.
-
Back pass by Downing or was it a shot?
-
a b it better
-
corner stoke ffs
-
I wish they would stop hoofing the ball just keep it on the deck for God sake.
-
That kit is bobbins it really is! What were they thinking?
-
I wonder if there's a less effective central midfield pairing than Petrov and NRC anywhere in world football?
-
I wonder if there's a less effective central midfield pairing than Petrov and NRC anywhere in world football?
What can they do when the majority of the ball is over their heads.
-
Evening all,
Well you guys will have to be my eyes and ears for this one. Stuck here in the arse end of Africa does have its pit falls..
-
With Stoke's stripey fronts and red backs, at times it looks like there's three teams out there. And we're third best.
-
We are looking very, very scruffy. No shape, we seem to want to get rid of the ball as soon as we get it.
And their bench is stronger than ours. That's not right.
-
Anybody else got Yorke as co-commentator?
-
Evening all,
Well you guys will have to be my eyes and ears for this one. Stuck here in the arse end of Africa does have its pit falls..
Eyes and ears?
Eyes: imagine The Scream, against a background of disused coal mines.
Ears: imagine the low rumble of moaning.
-

Come and get it and, in particular Petrovs case, don't pass it back every single time.
-
albrightons having a go
-
thats a pen
-
Why isn't that a penalty on Petrov?
-
Do Stoke fans always spend the game booing and jeering? They are fucking pains in the arses!
-
Anybody else got Yorke as co-commentator?
Sadly yes. I don't think he's found his new vocation somehow.
-
..bloody 'Refresh' button's going to get some stick tonight.
Shaky start then?
-
Blatant trip on Petrov in the box.
-
The ref ignores a deliberate trip on Petrov from that corner.
-
Walters dirty little prick. Stoke are horrendous to watch. Hope they go down and stay there.
-
..bloody 'Refresh' button's going to get some stick tonight.
Shaky start then?
Like a shitting puppy on a washing machine doing a spin cycle.
-
we need leaders.. we aint got them
I've been saying that for years. Our team is way too nice, we need a right nasty bastard in midfield. Hopefully our new manager will realise this.
-
Zzzzzzzzzz

Should have had a pen. Ref got no balls. All my feeds gone.

It doesn't matter if they are coming short to get the ball. All of the defenders think Carew is still playing. Friedal man of the match so far.
-
It is laughable the way Downing calls himself a professional footballer, and yet constantly runs away from the ball. Pathetic.
-
We're still so horribly one dimensional. We're actually being outplayed by Stoke.
-
Should I be glad i'm stuck at work for another hour then?
-
Should have had a pen. Ref got no balls. All my feeds gone.
Wouldn't have been a Pen as the ball wasn't in play. Would have been a card of some colour though.
-
I have a quick question, and I know you people can answer it for me:
Why are we so shit?
-
Anyone up for some biscuit based chat to pass the time?
-
Do Stoke fans always spend the game booing and jeering? They are fucking pains in the arses!
They've never done it before. Perhaps they're our new Coventry?
-
That's better. Keep the ball. Pass it.
-
firstrow link still working but grainy picture.
-
this refs shit
-
Should I be glad i'm stuck at work for another hour then?
Need any help?
-
I have a quick question, and I know you people can answer it for me:
Why are we so shit?
Can I blame Heskey?
-
Fucking gash villa
-
I have a quick question, and I know you people can answer it for me:
Why are we so shit?
We don't pass along the ground.
We are not robust enough in midfield.
We carry too many passengers.
-
First Row aint here
-
Lol Downing again. Really, he is comical.
-
I have a quick question, and I know you people can answer it for me:

It's as good an opening gambit as any.
Any advance on Heskey?
-

Absolutely no movement off the ball
Watch when we've got the ball, look at the way there's no movement into space by the players off the ball.
-
we really should be beating these fookers
-
Anyone up for some biscuit based chat to pass the time?
Last one to ice it, has to eat it.
-
Lol Downing again. Really, he is comical.
If that is for the second shot. It was no different to Albrighton hitting it with his wrong foot wide a few minutes earlier.
-
we really should be beating these fookers
Why? Because we're better?
-
Lol Downing again. Really, he is comical.
Was Downing good at Middlesborough? I seem to remember thinking he was. Sure, he got injured but he is terrible, isn't he?
-
75% possession to us and how many chances at goal?
-
Anyone up for some biscuit based chat to pass the time?

You're sick ;) How's the lady situation?
-
Nice slap from Albrighton there.
-
hangbag stuff says yorke... downing was nowhere near them
-
and the stream dies!!!
-
New link for those that need it as the first one seems to have broke, or more likely just got bored of showing how gash we are.
http://www.firstrow.net/watch/27296/3/watch-stoke-city-vs-aston-villa.html
-
When we do actually pass it, we look quite good. Makes you wonder why they don't do it more often!
-

I'm on brought myself a packet of bourbons instead mate. Need I say more?
-

Woeful, dire player. We were well ripped off. He never wanted to be a professional footballer, so he has no hunger for the game. You can see that by the way he actually runs away from the ball.
He wanted to play Dancing Queen, and shit songs like that through the night. I really do hope Houllier turfs the little weasel out.
-
Get in!!!!
-
Get in, Stuart!
-
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal
-
we really should be beating these fookers
Why? Because we're better?
no we aint..but you look at their team and we shouyld beat teams of this quality..thats why it feels worse
downing i love u ;-)))
-
Downing headed goal from Gabby cross.
-
That useless shite Dopwning!
What a great diving header
-
You have to say, that's a beauty.
-
GET IN!!!!
-
Downing you beaut!
-
YES! Magnificent stuff
Keep slagging Downing folks. It seems top work!
-
What a fantastic header that was.
-
Was all set to come and rip the piss out of Downing. But...I've now decided he's the best player ever, and as good at heading as Dion Dublin.
-
and if Downing plays for England so can I!
-
LOL! Downing! LOL!!!
-
Haha after I said we were gash and was going to join in the Downing slating. Who else can we slate so as they score?
-
Have that Downing haters!
-
Yep, that Downing is fucking shite
-
Lol Downing again. Really, he is comical.
u were saying....................

-
Man you guys are pessimistic buggers. From the twenty-or-so minutes I have watched, we have been by far the better team. It's not classic stuff and we're not winning...
Oh yes we are. Downing diving header. Ho ho ho.
-
Concentrate now Villa, time for some composure....
-
Was all set to come and rip the piss out of Downing. But...I've now decided he's the best player ever, and as good at heading as Dion Dublin.
Fickle? Us?
-
Well bugger me sideways. Downing scores with a header just as the new link works. Cheers PWshin.

Can you now slag off Gabby? And Heskey if he comes on.
-
looked like handball
-
It also means Downing will play the next match though...
-
pens 1-1
-
The smart thing to do would be to edit this:
Downing looks like an empty shirt at the moment, out left, right or in the centre it just isn't working for him.
Can't help that he' s so chronically one-footed.
Get Ireland on after 60 minutes and put Ash wide left.
Now then:
Gabby's looking a bit quiet, no way in hell will he score tonight...
-
Got away with a handball shout then. Would have been harsh but have seen them given.
-
That Ashley Young is shit, he is.
-
Dear lord! That was lucky there.
-
Definite penalty.
this ref really is terrible. Fortunately, in that instance.
-
Phew, think we got away with that...
-
What a fantastic header that was.
Totally agree, quite unlike him, top quality!
-
It's only handball if it's intentional. That clearly wasn't.
-
Apparently a missile was thrown at Downing.
-
Great goal by Downing. Thought it was offside at first. They obviously couldn't be arsed to mark him! Great goal, and amusing to see SD run to the booing Sturk fans.
Oh, and handball from Collins not given in the box. Good times.
C'mon You Lions!
-
Gabby is shit. And comical. And not very good neither.
-
We really are trying to play football, Stoke are quite happy to play ping pong!
-
Who crossed the ball for the goal? My stream is like watching the computer game sensible soccer.
-
sitter
-
What a ball frm Gabby.
-
Unlucky, Ash. Good ball from Gabby, too.
-
should be game over
-
How did Ashley miss that?
-
Christ. How did he miss that?
-
Get me a corset, my sides are splitting at the comical Ashley Young, the shit bastard.
-
What an idiot!!!
-
How was that not two? Another fantastic cross from Gabby. Young just let it hit him.
-
Two excellent crosses from Gabby, Unfortunately Young missed the sitter. Can Gabby teach Ash how to cross.
-
Gabby crossing to Ash, Ash powering in with a header just wide.
What's wrong with this picture?
-
Gabby can show the wide men a thing or two about crossing! Play him wide! Ash should have scored.
-
How did he miss that, what a cross by Gabby.
-
What a ball
-
A.Young could learn a thing or two from the masterful Downing.
-
Ouch - young. That's a sitter. I hope that doesn't cost us later on...
-
Unlucky, Ash. Good ball from Gabby, too.
unlucky it was rubbish, absolute rubbish
-
Great work from Albrighton to win a corner from nothing.
-
Albrighton has been good. Just love his attitude.
-
In terms of running, is Albrighton the new Milner?
-
Good hassling from Albrighton
-
Get me a corset, my sides are splitting at the comical Ashley Young, the shit bastard.
He really is comically shit. As is, erm, albrighton. And Dunne.
-
That Downing's shit, he is. He's a shitter.
-
DJ Stewie has come to life. Looking a player now. Is having a go at his fullback now.
-
Unlucky from Collins. We've really picked things up last 15 mins.
-
Sorensen's ace.
We should never have sold him.
*opens 25kg bag of popcorn*
-
Get me a corset, my sides are splitting at the comical Ashley Young, the shit bastard.

And Gabby. Same goes for Downing. The useless bastard can't even head straight!
-
Unlucky, Ash. Good ball from Gabby, too.
unlucky it was rubbish, absolute rubbish
Having seen the replay, I'm with you.
I can only apologize.
-
The goal has certainly settled the nerves. We're looking good atm.
-
5 chances to score 1 goal as usual but better as the half wears on
-
It's only handball if it's intentional. That clearly wasn't.
I've seen penalties given after more unintentional handballs than that one. Whatever, it wasn't given.
-
Not a bad cross from Downing. trying to beat his man and get to the byline. Unfortunately the Keeper was always favourite from that angle from Collins.
-
Downing is actually playing well! :o
-
This is much, much more like it, Villa.
-
all villa now
-
Downing denied a second from an acrobatic save.
-
We're all over 'em!
-
Wow! Downing nearly got a second.
All villa. Come on!!!!
-
Let's just play the 2nd half now. What a turnaround sonce the goal!
-
Get a second here and these lot could fold.
But back with the progam:
No way will Petrov pop one in from 45 yards tonight.
-
FFS ash young..sums u up sometimes
-
What a terrible corner.
-
What the fuck was that corner all about?
-
Need that second so badly
-
Ash took that corner like he was on another planet or something, where the gravity is a bit out.
-
Stoke fans: what a horrible, horrible caterwauling whenever they don't have possession. It's not big and it's not clever.
-
This lot don't half play some horrible, ale-house "football".
-
Sometimes it looks like Ash couldn't deliver a fucking pizza.
-
We've woken up. Playin some good footie here.
-
ashley young is getting worse and stuart (messi) downing is getting better
-
Nasty from Collins. good job that Albrighton was too quick and got out of the way. The intent was there and could have been a red.
-
Stoke fans: what a horrible, horrible caterwauling whenever they don't have possession. It's not big and it's not clever.
The ones who appear on here seem decent types, but I would otherwise agree with you. They seem slightly ape-like.
-
Ash is having a shocking run of form and has been for a long time. I don't fancy him in this position.
-
Can't help but think we are going to regret all these missed chances
-
should be 4
-
Ashley Mong!
-
Fucking hell that was brilliant. only needed a touch.
-
Come on, lets put these phuckers to bed.
-
Acorss the goal a foot out and no one to touch it in.
-
Yellow card for Stoke. Seems trivial but the more they get the better, as they're a physical team and hopefully one or two will have to watch themselves second half.
-
That, I have to say, was a joy to watch. Apart from the lack of a finisher.
-
Well. Quality last 15 there. Could be 2-3 up by now.
And to think I was close to giving up and going to bed.
-
got to say i dont agree with posters who complain of lack of passing and movement and hoofing, tonight ive seen more movement and passing than i ever did under O'Neill, this game could/should of been won by half time, some fantastic stuff played last 20 mins imo
-
Well, what a very good performance since the goal went in. What a shame we're not 2 or 3 up, though I'm sure Stoke think they could've scored themselves.
-
Well that was the classic case of, a half of 2 halves.
-
we will pay for not taking these chances.
-
How are we not 5 up ?
-
Good performance but should have scored more. The favourite scapegoat Downing is having a fine game.
-
got to say i dont agree with posters who complain of lack of passing and movement and hoofing, tonight ive seen more movement and passing than i ever did under O'Neill, this game could/should of been won by half time, some fantastic stuff played last 20 mins imo
The passing and movement was shit up until we scored the goal. I don't think anybody complained since the goal went in, because they had no need to.
-
Wow - a breath taking last 15 minutes. Good stuff.
-
we will pay for not taking these chances.
That's the positive spirit that needs to be relayed to the dressing room.
-
Sometimes it looks like Ash couldn't deliver a fucking pizza.
And sometimes he can play like he did seconds from the end.
As soon as we realised that we can pass the ball Stoke haven't know what hit them. Unfortunately no one to convert the chances we have had since.
-
Anyone mentioned how relaxed KMac looks now? tracksuit, jumping around and enjoying himself, stark contrast to leaning against the dug out in his suit. He definately is better suited to coaching. That said we could be third after tonight, so who knows??
-
Much improved last 20 mins, but the first 25 were dreadful. One more goal should do it.
-
Downing, when he's up for it and brimming with confidence has the mark of a playmaker about him. He's looking good at the moment.
-
Thoughts on the first half:
Concerned after 10 minutes, hugely impressed after 45
Gabby is reinventing himself as a winger - two fantastic crosses
Kudos Downing
Should be 3-4 up - ever the pessimistic Brummie, please don't let that bite us on the arse
oh and Delap has a fucking towel
-
How are we not Four up?
Cracking first half after we settled. The front four have been fantastic, Gabby especially we've missed him so much.
Ash, Downing and Albrighton been lively. Need to get the second early in the second half 'cos they'll come out stronger and have options on the bench to change it.
-
After what can only be described as a dull match between two midtable Championship sides, we break away and score. We finally seem to have found a bit of confidence, it's just a shame the referee blew for half time. We need to keep this up second half, keep creating the chances and we'll walk away with the three points.
Special praise for Gabby on two fantastic crosses.
-
Sack Houllier and give Kmac the job. ;D
-
If if if if if, I know. However. If the score stays like that, we'll be third with a negative goal difference!
-
Who is this guy who wears number 6 for us? He's pretty good
-
Took us a while to get going and Stoke had some half chances in the first 20 minutes or so but towards the end of that half we were absolutely all over them. Half time rescued them there.
Need to keep that going in the second half.
-
Pass and move. Balls played through the middle. One twos. Is this the Villa I see before me?
Didn't want half time to come
Great celebration by Downing and Ash
It must be truly awful to watch the sort of football Stoke dish up every week. They make us look like Barcelona
However, you just know what will happen second half. We will lose our nerve, get deeper and deeper, concede on about 65 minutes and then they'll win it with a last minute melee in the box!
-
We've missed a trick there.
Great last 15 minutes, but if we'd nicked a second I reckon that would have been it - no more bets.
As it is, they'll probably make a few changes half time and claw it back.
-
Agree about half time getting in the way.
-

The passing and movement was shit up until we scored the goal. I don't think anybody complained since the goal went in, because they had no need to.
I think in patches in the first 20 mins we looked to pass it, some of it came off some didnt, but I felt u could see the desire to try and pass it was there while under MON it would of been constant HOOF! imo
-
I really enjoyed that, especially the last 15 minutes or so.
I think Albrighton helps us flow with his energy and direct approach.
-
Very impressed with what I've seen towards the end of the first half. Downing looks a completely different player. Why can't he play like that all the time? That really frustrates me.
-
Some great delivery.
I may be blind but one of the first relevant pieces of action I saw from Gabby was his cross for A Young.
We should be at least 2 up.
Why do a short corner in the dying seconds of injury time? Lob the bugger in to the box.
Some good defending. And hopefully SToke will create space for us in the second half.
-
And Albrighton should be looking at England contention if he carries on.
Though judging by the legacy of our ex players who have made that transition and then gone on to see themselves as Billy Big Bollocks, lets hope he stays under the radar for a while yet.
-
I saw movement off the ball by Villa players - lovely stuff
-
As it is, they'll probably make a few changes half time and claw it back.
Looks like they have the wind behind them for the 2nd half, which may just help them long throws. Pessimism aside we have looked so much more threatening since the goal, hopefully we can bag an early chance 2nd half to kill them off.
-
Stoke have been shite though. They won't be that bad first 15 of second half and they've got options on the bench that'll cause us problems.
We must continue our dominance first 15 of second half and get a second, otherwise we'll regret it.
-
Sometimes it looks like Ash couldn't deliver a fucking pizza.
Can I have that as my sig?
-
How tacky does Sky's MNF look?
I doubt ITV could have done worse.
-

Hopefully.
I've never heard their home support so quiet.
Maybe this whole Premiership novelty is wearing off for them.
-

Exactly my thoughts, despite our dominance I think it's far from over yet and don't expect all 3.
-
The last move with AY whizzing the ball across deserved a goal. Brilliant stuff. Love the balance that Albrighton gives us. A more natural wide player than Milner ever will be and he's as industrious. If he develops at this pace for a year he'll be an England regular. We still need a clinical goal scorer - I hope that doesn't leave us short in this match as we've had 3 good untaken chances to Stokes 1 (BF's cracking save from Jones).
-
I think Reo has been a big difference here in all honesty. Very good, understated first half, but solid and allowed the rest of the midfield to wander a bit and get involved. Also hasn't played a bad pass. :P
-
Sometimes it looks like Ash couldn't deliver a fucking pizza.
Go on then mate.
Can I have that as my sig?
-
I saw movement off the ball by Villa players - lovely stuff
And Reo-Coker giving the simple ball, making himself available, and doing it again. And no lumping the ball up to that lazy sod Carew either
-
Some great delivery.
I may be blind but one of the first relevant pieces of action I saw from Gabby was his cross for A Young.
Missed his cross for the first goal then. The two best crosses from us were from Gabby. The third was Albrighton for Downings chance that unfortunately did not have the pace to beat Sorryson at the back post.
-
Dwight must be the worst pundit ever. There was one priceless moment in the first half when he said:
"Villa were very inv..., inv..., er, in front of goal there."
-
I counted 11 passes leading up to our goal - and about ten minutes possession!
-
I think Reo has been a big difference here in all honesty. Very good, understated first half, but solid and allowed the rest of the midfield to wander a bit and get involved. Also hasn't played a bad pass. :P
I'd go along with that. He's nipping in and breaking everything up and his ball use has been very good today. He's improved over the last year, and I suspect now, will get a run of games with Kmac and Houllier.
-
Reo Coker involved several times for the goal, plenty of accurate passes, breaking play up. Dear me hope he keeps it up, what with Downing scoring with his head, all we need now is Ashley to hit the target with a cross or a corner and the night will be nigh on perfect.
-
Talk about a confidence player! Downing is like a different player since he scored! That said, we're like a different team, and showing the potential that no doubt attracted Houllier to the job; the right manager could really do something with this lot!
Have to say, I think NRC is playing very well, and has shown some neat little passes in the first half - is someone actually, y'know, coaching him?!
-
We looked fantastic after we scored. Downing improved immensly .. Two wonderful crosses by Gabby, shame Gabby was not on the end of his cross for the second one. NRC got betteras game went on .. Albrighton putting a good shift in. This game should be dead and buried , lets hope we grab a second so we can enjoy the game.... wish we had two Gabbys ;-))
-
Dwight must be the worst pundit ever. There was one priceless moment in the first half when he said:
"Villa were very inv..., inv..., er, in front of goal there."
Awful isn't he. No brain there at all even by Sky standards and that's saying something!!
-

yep agreed hes fine when he just does the simple stuff get the ball and lay it offbeen impressed with him and downing
-
I think the goal gave us the confidence that we were lacking.
Our bench might look a bit lightweight, but we have got some very capable footballers. Having got twatted 6-0 in your last away league game, i can't really think of many worse places to go than Stoke City.
We looked nervy to start with - and you can understand why - but once we got some confidence, we looked much, much happier, passing it, keeping possession, making the ball do the work.
I just hope those missed chances don't come back to haunt us.
-
Some great delivery.
I may be blind but one of the first relevant pieces of action I saw from Gabby was his cross for A Young.
Missed his cross for the first goal then. The two best crosses from us were from Gabby. The third was Albrighton for Downings chance that unfortunately did not have the pace to beat Sorryson at the back post.
I most certainly did miss it for the first goal. Some fluid positional swapping up front. Good stuff.
-
I just hope those missed chances don't come back to haunt us.
They will, we'll lose this still I reckon.
-
got to say i dont agree with posters who complain of lack of passing and movement and hoofing, tonight ive seen more movement and passing than i ever did under O'Neill, this game could/should of been won by half time, some fantastic stuff played last 20 mins imo
The passing and movement was shit up until we scored the goal. I don't think anybody complained since the goal went in, because they had no need to.
I think in patches in the first 20 mins we looked to pass it, some of it came off some didnt, but I felt u could see the desire to try and pass it was there while under MON it would of been constant HOOF! imo
Stoke were clearly the better team for the first half hour but there was certainly some decent movement from us before we scored, particularly Albrighton's shot from the edge of the box. That was a very promising first half IMO against the type of side we normally struggle against. Just need to be more clinical.
-
Dwight must be the worst pundit ever. There was one priceless moment in the first half when he said:

yep i laughed at that, fantastic player but not such a great pundit

If he umms and errs anymore he'll turn into Hugh Grant!
-
O'Neil football first 20 - goal - then we look amazing, best 25 mins in a villa shirt for SD.
how good does Albrighton look, and Gabby as a winger fantastic.
hopefully no more hoof ball (thanks for everything MoN (apart from dropping is in the shit like a selfish little bitch) - but your football sucked) - when we play it and move we look great - just imagine if we had a poacher in there - but for now if we keep creating the chances we'll get at least one more - Stoke don't know how to deal with us in this mood, one more will do it
Got to put these to bed now - COY Lions
-
The last move with AY whizzing the ball across deserved a goal. Brilliant stuff. Love the balance that Albrighton gives us. A more natural wide player than Milner ever will be and he's as industrious. If he develops at this pace for a year he'll be an England regular. We still need a clinical goal scorer - I hope that doesn't leave us short in this match as we've had 3 good untaken chances to Stokes 1 (BF's cracking save from Jones).
I'd like to see us hold onto him for a while, so hopefully he gives England the swerve.
Maybe he can dig out an Irish granny. Or declare for his fathers country.
Barry Manilow is from the States, isn't he?
-
Evening all.
Alright this innit?
-
pullis arrives..
That could be the lift they need. It definitely lifted the fans anyway which means they won't be on the players back as much.
-
Kevin Gage - indeed, was thinking the same as I typed.

-
One question about Downing's goal - how the fuck do you bend the ball in from a header?!
-
I quite like Pulis.
I hate his brand of football, i hate that chavvy baseball cap and tracksuit look which makes him look like a minor member of the Soprano family, and I don't like Stoke City, but he always seems to speak quite well of us.
And, regardless of the dross they play, he's done an excellent job there.
-
Oooooh
-
Star jumps from Friedel in goal.
-
One question about Downing's goal - how the fuck do you bend the ball in from a header?!
The spin was on the ball anyway from Gabbys cross. It was just a case of accuracy from the header and he had that spot on.
-

Aye.
Pulis is one of the good guys.
-

same as u bend a shot, u head across the ball..it was a brilliant header
-
Gabby just ran 60 yards. We've missed him so much.
-
Fuck me! Is that Dwight co-commentating?
-
One question about Downing's goal - how the fuck do you bend the ball in from a header?!
That's what I thought. He took it very well. He's played perhaps his best game for us up to now.
-
Someone on Radio 5 said Tony Pulis wasn't there [at least for the first half] due to a family bereavement.
-
I quite like Pulis.

Yep. Agree. An underated manager. Not full of himself either like a Phil Brown.

Thirded.
-
Downing was pissing on Huth. Albrighton already had Collins booked and is tricky enough to draw another foul for a sending off. So Kmac swaps the sides that are on.
-
Like Pulis. Couldn't watch this tripe every week mind.
-
Fuck me! Is that Dwight co-commentating?
He's bloody awful!
'fraid so Dave
-
One question about Downing's goal - how the fuck do you bend the ball in from a header?!
Have a head shaped like a hexagon
-
Fuck me! Is that Dwight co-commentating?
Yes, and having heard the first-half I'm pretty sure it's because he won some sort of raffle.
-
Gabby just ran 60 yards. We've missed him so much.
Quite right. His mobility, and his movement (which isn't the best, mind) is so much more effective than Carews half-arsed meandering.
-
Fuck me! Is that Dwight co-commentating?
Got Sir Graham on 5 live, much better to listen too.
-

What does it matter? Neither of them are full backs by trade and both are not very good there.
-
Click - and Downing is back in the room.
-
What's happening to Warnock?
-
Fuck me! Is that Dwight co-commentating?
Got Sir Graham on 5 live, much better to listen too.
Yes, I was listening to that on the way home, always a pleasure to hear GT.
-
great block NRC
-
Did DY just call him Reo-Cocoa?!
-
Did he just refer to him as Reo-Koko?
-
Dwight just called NRC "Reo-Coco". Made me laugh anyway.
-
great block NRC
dwight just called him reo coco.........lol
-
Daviesesque defending from Collins then.
-
We're our own worst enemy at the moment.
Come on Villa, wake up.
-
its great to have luke young back
-
The hoofing is creeping back in again, get it together Villa.
-
Fuller coming on for Stoke.
-
Sky seem to think DY is the next big thing for them. Don't forget they did the questions to Yorke programme as well.
-
We're under the cosh again now.
-
Fuller is on.
He'll score the two late goals for this match. Annual tradition.
We've lost our rhythm.
-
"How long before Pullis makes a change" says commentator looking at activity on the bench and trying to sound like he knows what's going on and is cleverer than us.
Twat.
-
its great to have luke young back
he can't play against teams like Stoke, you know.
-
Come on villa, route one from stoke. We need to get hold of the bloody ball.
-
just need to pass
-
We're beckoning them into our area like Garry Glitter with a hand of pokemon cards at a playground.
-
Fuller is a good striker. I'm surprised he didn't start.
-
Need to get control in midfield again.
-
Sky seem to think DY is the next big thing for them. Don't forget they did the questions to Yorke programme as well.
With his wit and repartee it was an obvious choice.
Fcuking hell, he makes Dean Sturridge sound good.
-
pennant coming on
-
We're beckoning them into our area like Garry Glitter with a hand of pokemon cards at a playground.
You should be on the telly instead of Dwight.
-
The lovely Pennant warming up as well. I'm sure you'll join me in giving him a warm welcome.
-
I'm sure he got a name wrong in the first half, but I thought it was me mishearing it.
-
Pennant coming on. He will be up against Warnock. I'm getting worried again. The only plus point is he might take Delap off for him.
-
fookin ref
-
HOW is that a free kick to them?
-
Why doesn't Dunne go forward for corners/free-kicks anymore? Is it because he's lazy and a bit fatter so can't make it back?
-
gabby brilliant
-
Does Pennant still have to enter the playing area with a social worker?
-
Faye has got the same initials as Mr Villafan off here.
-
Have Stoke got 2 A Fayes's?
-
The lovely Pennant warming up as well. I'm sure you'll join me in giving him a warm welcome.
I hope he gets the clap he so richly deserves.
-
Not really the 2nd half performance we were after...
-
Does Pennant still have to enter the playing area with a social worker?
Is that a euphemism?
-
Pulis has made attacking changes.
Me Worried.
-
Pretty poor refereeing, in my opinion.
-
Thought that was a Villa shirt for the moment but then realized it was the back of Kenwyn Jones' big head.
-
Have Stoke got 2 A Fayes's?
no the other one is at leeds
-
Not really the 2nd half performance we were after...
I'm pretending it's still 0-0 you should try it!
-
Did he just refer to him as Reo-Koko?
Yes and we have a winger called Albright.
Earlier Andy Gray asked him if Dunne and Collins will be doing lots of heading, he answered that he used to play with Danny Collins at Sunderland..........
-
Does Pennant still have to enter the playing area with a social worker?
Well, funny you should say that (http://www.bad-english.info/2005/04/blues-pennant-gets-tag.html)
-
I thought this Fuller was good, one pass back and one into orbit so far.
Tempting fate I know!
-
Have Stoke got 2 A Fayes's?
no the other one is at leeds
Just wondered why he has A.D. Faye on his shirt.
-
Well played Rec-Coco Pops.
-
Well done Reo for not giving up on Ash's poor pass.
-
Does Pennant still have to enter the playing area with a social worker?
Well, funny you should say that (http://www.bad-english.info/2005/04/blues-pennant-gets-tag.html)
Evening Darren. Alright mate?
-
Good work Reo
-
Well played Rec-Coco Pops.
Yorke just called it him again, will someone not tell him? They must be all laughing behind his back!
-
Come on Villa, we need a second.
-
I'm surprised the ref never spoke to Pennant for that wild kick out on Albrighton. No where near the ball and ould have caught him in the chest/ face.
-
Well played Rec-Coco Pops.
Yorke just called it him again, will someone not tell him? They must be all laughing behind his back!
Now, if Big Ron had said that there'd be uproar.
-
Why do TV companies make such shit choices for pundits and co-commentators? Yorke is nearly as bad as Adebayor.
-
Evening Darren. Alright mate?
Alright Risso! Well, apart from getting over food poisoning and explosive diarrhoea (resulting in me pulling a one-day sickie after only one week back at work), and now shitting myself as the clock ticks away, yep, fine! Saw Charlotte's photos the other week.
-
Best move of the 2nd half
-
why do they insist on taking short corners.........put the ball in the box
-
Why do TV companies make such shit choices for pundits and co-commentators? Yorke is nearly as bad as Adebayor.
Yorke runs him close, but nobody is as bad as Dr Alban.
-
I would take off Albrighton. Move Ash to the wing and bring on Ireland. Ash can track back better then Marc and Ireland can shore up the centre and maybe play the balls we need.
-

Dwight Yorke used to play for Man United. This makes him an authority on everything. Same with Adebayor. He's played for Arsenal and Citeh. He's Sky's number one choice for next season.
-
Can't see Stoke not scoring we are hanging on a bit!
-
Cokers looked class today.
-
Cokers looked class today.
I should coco.
-
Can't believe I'm advocating it but I might even be tempted to bring Heskey on, to hold the ball up better.
It's coming back at us too quickly at the minute.
-
I would take off Albrighton. Move Ash to the wing and bring on Ireland. Ash can track back better then Marc and Ireland can shore up the centre and maybe play the balls we need.
Agreed, we need to freshen up the last 15 mins.
-
Its opening up a bit now. Come on villa lets have a second.
-
I would take off Albrighton. Move Ash to the wing and bring on Ireland. Ash can track back better then Marc and Ireland can shore up the centre and maybe play the balls we need.
I like your thinking. We need to push on and things have gone a bit stale.
-
Just realised, Inbetweeners after this!
-
Fuck me, Stewie is possessed!
-
Downing discovering his balls there...
-

seconded
-
Good chasing back and tackle from Downing. He is definitely learning. Thought pennant went through the man to get the ball.
-
Cokers looked class today.
I should coco.
Great album.
-
Just realised, Inbetweeners after this!
Likes this.
-
I think my guess the crowd was a tad over optimistic.
-
Think it's time for a change up front, Gabby looks knackered
-
I just don't get it - have we got some rare form of collective Alzheimer's or something? We remember how to pass and keep the ball, then we forget. Then we remember it again and... oops, it's gone.
-
Fuck off.
-
shit
-
Fuck. That was coming for ages.
-
Bollocks, that was coming.
-
Bollocks!
-
Pathetic.
-
Fuckflaps
-
I'm surprised we haven't made a change, to be honest.
-
Bollocks! That was coming. Collins defending alone.
-
Fucking typical fucking Villa.
FUCK OFF.
-
How fucking predictable.
-
Bollox and arse biscuits
-
You could see it coming a fucking mile off.
-
Dwight, shut your feckin trap, you're doing my head in!
-
Fucking dreadful defending then.
-
Fucking new it.
-
Come on Villa, last 15, sort it out. Got to snap out of now before we bloody lose this game
-
They deserved that. Some plucky defending beforehand though.
-
Told you.
we will pay for not taking these chances.
That's the positive spirit that needs to be relayed to the dressing room.
And I especially told you.
-
We're going to lose now.
-
Those misses......
-
Completely inevitable, I'm afraid. God, for a manager who can change things dynamically.
-
Bollocks!
It was all going so well until you showed up!
-
Good to see how we let Ethrington have a free run. Going with the runner seems an alien concept to us at times.
-
It just had to happen... we have just been sitting back and allowing them to come at us!
-
Sitting back too much second half. Going to be a tense 10 mins. Same old shite
-
Tin hat time.
Jekyl and hide villa again.
-
FFS, nearly 2 then.
-
What's happened to Ashley?
-
Those misses......
Ashley's missed header..............
-
We're going to lose now.
Absolutely. No way we're coming away from this with anything. Last minute Stoke winner all over it.
-
Very poor. Get the ball, keep the fucking ball. It's not fucking astro physics.
-
Fucking Stoke, always fucking Stoke.
I fucking hate Stoke.
-
terrible defending, free header middle of the goal piss poor defending
-
Sounds noisy there now, Stoke have woken up
-
Should have been out of sight before half time. What a load of old toss. I hate these ****** with their shite pikey accents *angry face*
-
That random sentence generator in the commentary box has gone into overdrive. FUCK OFF!
-
Need to show some bottle now
-
We were done for that goal. It was coming
-
8/1 for a Stoke win at HT, came very close to putting money on that.
-
Manilow jnr is running on empty. Get Ireland on.
-
Get Albrighton off, done knack all second half.
-
Pathetic defending once again. Hopefully Houllier delivers a few home truths. Warnock has been dire for ages.
-
Marc needs to realise he does not need to take on a player every time. he can pass earlier then that.
-
Played.
-
Unlucky Reo.
-
We simply don't have a target to aim at. Can't see us getting one back.
-
Hesk on.
-
Pathetic defending once again. Hopefully Houllier delivers a few home truths. Warnock has been dire for ages.
We finally get a decent left back, we have a right back, left loses form, no more left back, right back.......
-
FFS. Heskey.
-
When you need a goal to get three points: bring on Emule!
-
Heskey on, don't panic anyone, we'll be fine here.
MacDonald better be calling the shots. If houllier pulls this shit, I'll kill him.
-
That's a crap substitution.
-
heskey - we're ok now
ffs
-
Only one team is going to win this.
-
Ricardo Fuller has turned into Pele again.
-
Come on Hesky, prove everyone wrong.....please
-
Lets try the Downing trick.
Heskey is fucking crap.
-
Fuller changed the game for them
-
Reo-Coker straight to the player.
Heskey. Our saviour. This is fucking pathetic.
-
KM is very much from the MON school when it comes to substitutions.
-
Fuller changed the game for them
How shit must we be if Fuller coming on changes the game...
-
Could have done with Ireland for Downing on 30 to freshen up front. Silly defending costs us a lot if hard work again.
-
OK, the Ref can blow his whistle now. Let's take the point.
-
Heskey will touch it - once. And it'll hit the corner flag.
-
Does Dwight Yorke speak exclusively in cliche?
-
OK, the Ref can blow his whistle now. Let's take the point.
We're fifth, hopefully they'll blow the whistle on the season.
-
What happened at half time? We were great before?
-
Fuller changed the game for them
I was hoping we had changed the locks for Heskey, but no, he's still here.
-
Why did Dunne do that?
-
Fucking stupid challenge from Dunne.
-
Quite honestly KMac hasn't got much choice with that bench, unless he puts a centre half on!
-
That's irritatingly shit from Dunne!
-
Here it comes.
-
Do I turn the stream off now?
-
Lol, Stoke are absolutely atrocious. Houllier better shake this squad up. Bunch of wasters.
-
Quite honestly KMac hasn't got much choice with that bench, unless he puts a centre half on!
Who picked the bench?
This had better be the last time we see Heskey trot onto the pitch.
-
Dwights right about that tho - too many stiupid fouls and corners given away. Can never seem to control the game can we
-
We're determined to throw this away.
-
How have we ended up hoofing it up towards Heskey.
-
there's another needless free kick.
-
Fuuuuuuckkkkk offffffffff
-
Who didn't see that coming?
Useless fucking ******.
-
Fucking hell.
-
FUCKING BOLLOCKS!
-
What a joke!
-
A-fucking-stonishing.
-
Suicide. We get what we deserve. Fat fuck all.
-
Can they play us every week.
-
Oh, f*ck off.
-
the most predictable goal I think i've ever seen. Useless fucking wankers.
-
Every fucking time we play Stoke, don't we bloody learn
-
Right oh. As expected then.
-
Fucking. Shit.
-
FFS, you fucking pricks
-
Told you.
we will pay for not taking these chances.
That's the positive spirit that needs to be relayed to the dressing room.
And I especially told you.
And again.
-
What a dreadful pile of shit.
-
Full time.
Talk about bollocks. This team hasn't got a pair of bollocks between them.
-
k-mac fook off......gutted
-
Afuckinggain every time against them.
Warnock is fucking hopeless.
-
Fucking shit fucking ref giving afucking free kick for that fucking dive from that fucker Pennant.
-
Fucking idiots. Fucking idiots.
-
Utterly infucket fuck fuck fuckept in the second half,
-
Fucking unbelievable.
-
Jesus Christ. It's just fucking embarrassingly bad. Absolutely basic, fucking schoolboy mistakes.
-
Crap.
-
Fucking shit fucking ref giving afucking free kick for that fucking dive from that fucker Pennant.
Petrov The Slow brought him down.
-
Fucking hell. Shouldn't have been a free kick though.
-
Got exactly what we deserved, that second half was Sunday league standard.
-
what a steaming load of cack
-
Oh just fuck off you shower of shit.
-
Absolute disgrace
-
Told you.
we will pay for not taking these chances.
That's the positive spirit that needs to be relayed to the dressing room.
And I especially told you.
And again.
You must be so proud.
-
Fucking hell. Shouldn't have been a free kick though.
the referee shouldn't have been given the choice. Needlessly given away.
-
Injury time, in injury time. FFS.
-
No fucking manager, and a caretaker manager sans clue.
-
We were rubbish and deserved nothing more for that 2nd half display
-
Fuck balls bollocks, I hate football!
Why did I bother staying up. Could have been sound asleep by now. Arse biscuits!
HURRY UP GERARD!
-
anus
-
The Inbetweeners better be fucking good.
-
For fucks sake. We could right the script before kick off. Threw it away yet again, will we never learn. Absolutely bloody typical. Supporting this team can be so frustrating at times. All the results went our way this weekend and we blew it again.
-
Told you.
we will pay for not taking these chances.
That's the positive spirit that needs to be relayed to the dressing room.
And I especially told you.

You must be blind to not see it coming.
-
Told you.

And again.
At least you're happy with the result.
-
KMac has shown a fucking gain why he is not a manager. Pullis makes changes. Kmac waits until it it too late and brings on Emile Fucking Heskey. Would Houlier have sat there doing fuck all when they were dominating us down the wing. Did he notice we played better when Downing was on the left and Albrighton on the right befoee he told them to swap sides again.
-
Shocking result. Robbed. Time to put the last few weeks behind us.
-
Ashley you cost us that game £50,000 a week and u cant head a ball in from 5 yards out stunning......go and play for spurs
-
Before anybody starts to talk about defensive errors, we lost that game tonight by missing clear chances in front of goal. Stoke should have been dead and buried (as Dwight might say) after 40 minutes but YET AGAIN we missed our chances. We will finish mid table ish this season because it this glaring failing in our team.
BUY A FUCKING STRIKER IN JANUARY.
-
We only played well for the last 25 minutes of the first half the rest of the time we were absolutely crap, players just went missing!
-
Oh bollox to it, I'm off to kick the cat.
-
Fucking shit fucking ref giving afucking free kick for that fucking dive from that fucker Pennant.
Petrov The Slow brought him down.
Warnock wasn't it?
-
Stoke are cheating bastards. Never was that a foul... Pennant is cheating lowlife.
Typical Stoke; foul, foul and foul again sending long balls into the box. What a bunch of racist fans Stoke are too, no wonder they're like that though being from Stoke - must feel like you're living a suicidal life.

Yeah you cant blame the defence they defended really well against a team that just kept piling the ball in the box law of averages says they were gonna get something from it

Sir Graham says it should have been a draw to be fair, the thing is we should bloody learn to bury our chances and keep going to the end against this bloody lot.
Fair play to Pulis, I didn't realise what had happened to him tonight. Can't believe he was there to be honest after that. It sparked his team him turning up. Best wishes go him and his family

We only played well for the last 25 minutes of the first half the rest of the time we were absolutely crap, players just went missing!
I have seen us play a lot worse than that, I thought we passed it quite well at times. Not that it's any consolation.
Three minutes of injury time and they score after three and a half.

Penant - cheating little shitbag but Stan should've known better.
Reo Coker - can just about fuck off, what was he doing for their first goal? Waiting for his stream to refresh? I've heard it said he does well at getting in the way, breaking up play, but it only ever seems to be our play he breaks up. Sidwell is shit but Reo Coker isn't fit to tie his laces
