Baggies 1 up at Spurs.
-
Throstles up at Sperms.
-
Villastreams is perfect...so far.
-
FUCK FUCK FUCK....5 live stream rarely works on my Mac!!

-
Scousers 1 up against blues - difficult to cheer either way
-
Where the feic have you been?
Haha. North England, sadly.
-
Nowt wrong with Yorkshire.
Five corners in a row for Stoke but we get out.
Is there anyone actually on this thread?
-
So no Carew then, what a waste of time that was.
-
I'm here.
-
Same old Stoke then...
-
fuck me. How predictable
-
Our robust, water-tight defence are at it again.
-
Shit
-
Bollox. You have to say that was coming. Wake up lads!
-
That was inevitable.
-
More shit defending... >:(
-
we have stop giving away throw ins around the penalty area, because that is what happens.
-
Thread has died, just as we conceded
-
What do we really expect with McAllister taking the reigns???
-
I might get shot down for saying this but I'd rather get relegated than play throwball like these wankers. It's just so, so fucking boring.
-
We are looking pretty lame going forward.
-
Wolves up against Fulham.
-
Rags 2-0 down now against liverpool
-
Noses 2 down.
-
Has Heskey touched the ball???
-
Rory Delap, awful chancer.
-
Not to kick a man when he's down but the sooner this season is over and we can get rid of Houllier and McAllister the better off we'll be. How anybody can turn a defensively sound team into the shite we've seen this season deserves some credit!

There is no way, IMO, that Randy will sack Houllier now.
-
Houllier's brand of cultured, intelligent passing football is a joy to behold, and will be great when we find some personnel who can actually play it.
-
Was that Lofty out of Eastenders in the exec box?
-
We'll score in a minute
-
Streams have died, been left with Woodward and Morley (straight-faced smiley).
-
This is fucking frustrating.

Give me a team who tries to play over one that hits 70 yard passes in order to win throw ins any day. Take your point but I thought we looked pretty sensational at times last weekend against West Ham - they can play but they aren't good enough to do it against teams who play 10 men behind the ball

i disagree, they now have a very good non-footballing reason which allows them to save face.
The worst decision Houllier has made whilst in charge was appoint McAllister.
-
We need to get Gabby on and stop playing high balls up front. Stoke have too many big men to deal with it. Gabby will scare them with his pace.
-
just going to have to equalize and then score a late winner, again.

I'd rather see a team that plays to its strengths. And one that wins matches when it still isn't technically safe from relegation. Once we are safe, then we can play sexy.
-
i have a nice few quid on Stoke at 4/1
was thinking about it all week
then when houllier was hospitalized and that twat was manager today - made my mind up and hammered stoke
-
Our defenders remain utterly wank.
It baffles me why Cuellar or Clark don't get a match ahead of dumb and dumber.
-
BENTY
-
Ye ha Bent 1-1
-
i was just about to be a fickle bastard and go to bed, and we score!
-
Awesome header from Bent
-
YEEEEEEEEES
-
brilliant goal
-
Get In Bent!
-
Brilliant header. As good a finish as you'll ever see
-
hoe fucking great is Bent?
-
yesssssssssssssssss!
-
What a bloody good goal.
-
What the hell would we be without Bent, absolutely class finish!
-
Stoke are a horrible, shitty, one dimensional side. I would just love it if we beat them. The goal at least means less time wasting now... I hope.
-
Great stuff Villa
-
STOP GIVING AWAY THROWN INS IN THAT AREA OF THE PITCH VILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are asking for trouble
-
He certainly knows where the onion bag is does our Darren.
-
That man is worth every single penny. Bent, you are a class act.
-
As toothless, sluggish and complacent as ever I've seen us this season. Piss-poor half of football, apart from Darren Bent's goal. He's been the difference between us staying up and being relegated this season, without a doubt.
-
I'm guessing arm around the neck isn't a foul?
-
Not when we're attacking, TV.
I'm guessing the Sturk fans were giving Bent stick?
-
Half time?
-
L.Young or Walker man of the match so far?
-

Spot on. We have been clueless going forward.
Fantastic goal from DB.
-
Half time?
yep
-
I fucking hate these boring bastards.
Please god, in the name of football let us win this one.
-
WIth Jimbo on the analysis of that half.
2 great headers aside (Bents being the better one) , I can't think of any redeeming features. Shite game so far.
-
As bad as we've been, Stoke are a truly awful team to watch. The sooner they are relegated the better. Although I know a couple of their fans are good lads, the one's that post on here.
-
Bent is a fucking legend and a totally ace signing.
We could be ninth at close of play today and god knows where we would be without Bent.

Agree, Jimbo. Stoke are well organised and a physically strong side who can play a bit. We continue to look nervous everytime we have the ball, our only threat comes from Luke Young and Walker on the wings. Ashley and Downing are like Paulie's description of Spurs - "all fart, no shit".
Petrov and NRC need to start contributing more. Petrov did it once but we need to have more of a plan than getting it out to Young and Downing. We could start by playing it on the deck as we're winning sweet FA in the air.

In fairness I thought Stoke played some decent stuff in their semi final.
-
Petrov, Walker, Downing and, because he did one thing that nobody else can do, Bent have stood out. The rest need to buck up a bit, though I don't think the system is working. The tactic worked last week but Sturk are so much better than West Ham in the air - and us, for that matter, at both ends of the pitch. Maybe Albrighton on to stretch the play a bit down the wing and give Ash more space would work better, because at the moment Heskey is looking like a waste of a name on the teamsheet today.

He usually is.

Bent is brilliant.

at this rate, he is threatening to go down as one of our best ever signings, irrespective of the price. How many players have ever made such an instant impact in a Villa shirt? I really can't think of many - maybe Dion. He should have 10 already. He will crush 20 next season, and that will really help propel us up the table as long as we can get the defence sorted.
-

He chose Sunderland over them a couple of years ago, and they are still bitter by the sounds of it. Best way of answering. Here's hoping for his first hat-trick.
-
A better performance is required 2nd half to win this one. C'mon Villa.
-
Deano Saunders had an amazing start. 6 in his first four. Dion got five in two didnt he?
-

Brilliant stream. Thanks
-
im going to stick another few quid on Stoke
worked in the 1st half, heres hoping 8)
-
All Villa at the moment.
-
Good fighting from Villa now.
-
We've moved up a gear here
-
That bastard nearly broke Downings leg in the first half.
-
YEs! Wigan have scored.
-
Dirty fucker Marc Wilson.
-
Get Gabby on.
-
YEs! Wigan have scored.
Massive goal for Wigan.
-
Mackems get one back.
-
Get Gabby on.
he scored last week mate, he's not due another for about 8 weeks
-
Come on Villa!
-
How are we doing 2H?
-
we have to be the most wasteful team in the top flight for set pieces. Given how many we create, we should have a much better return. What a change from just a few seasons ago when the Laursen was murdering everything in the box.
-
Get Gabby on.
he scored last week mate, he's not due another for about 8 weeks
When is Emiles next one due then ?
-
Two piss-poor teams, pissing in the wind.
-
Get Gabby on, he's on a hot streak now, he'll get the winner again!!
-

pancake wednesday
-
slooooooow thread
-
Last few minutes syndrome...sshhhsh.. a draw will do.
-
Having our best spell since Albrighton came on. Now all we need is Gabby.
-
20 - J Defoe is the 20th player to score 100 PL goals but only 4 players did it in more games (Heskey, Lampard, Scholes & Giggs). Wait.
-
Another one for the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' and Spurs 2-1 in front
-
Seriously, how may other teams play this type of hoofball? Free kicks launched form the half way line into 'the mixer'.
-
On comes Fuller, just the type of player who scores against us.
-
I have that horrible feeling they are going to nick one.
-
4-0 Liverpool :D
-
Sunderland 3 Wigan 1 now
-
Come on Villa
-
It's Gabby time.
-
gabby for the winner 2 weeks in a row, come on
-
Fuller is a cert to score
we always get done by a prick like that
-
C'mon Gabby.
-
stoke just had one disallowed. get peter withe on, he'll score for us
-
Gabby will get his 50th league goal........
-
Sunderland 4-1 Wigan :(
-
Fuck sake, Collins and Dunne are shanking everything under no pressure.
-
Wigan, you useless twats.
-
Did he just say "Stoke's first away point since Boxing Day"? bloomin eck
-
Baggies 2-2 and what a goal. Superb.
-
"Chants of Gerard Houllier on the Kop #lfc" Hmm. have we?
-
Who is the co commentator, sounds like a scouser?
-
The ref has been awful.
-
liverpool 5-0 blues

5-0 Liverpool. Joe Cole :) :) :D

liverpool 5-0 blues
credit to Dalglish. He's made them relevant again.
-

Barry Horne
He doesn't like the Villa much
-
Stoke down to 10 man for the rest of the game
-

Barry Horne
He doesn't like the Villa much
He thinks we are a shower of divers.
-
come on, 5 mins to go against 10 men
-
we wont take advantage, they'll shut up shop even more. please villa, please!
-

There's not much to like today.
-
33 matches for the Knuckledraggers will do that to you. He is to be pitied, not chastised, he knows no better.
-
Stoke are the most depressing team that I've seen in a long long time.
-

I can think of at least one team that's depressed me more.
-
that's pretty much it chaps. 1-1 Not the end of the world.
-
1 point taken from two games against Stoke this season. How depressing.......
-
what i would give for a free kick on target
-
Our free kicks are absolute garbage!
-
Looks like a Martin ONeill home performance from last season to me, team comes to Villa Park, tactics to nulify our pacey threat from the wings, park the bus hope for counter attacking or set piece goal, we then huff and puff for the majority of the game in their half, send in numerous crosses and corners, but ultimately come up short by lacking invention and incisive passing to break them down.
Until we bring more pace to our passing in and around the box, these kind of results will just carry on.
-
All in all, we're a very, very drab football team indeed. Glad I didn't pay money to watch that dross. Having said that, all that matters is points now, and we got one. We need more to be sure.
-
Both teams content with a point after Bent's goal -
Did either keeper make a noteworthy save the entire match ?
Stoke score from a throw in ! how predictable was that against our defence ?
Pathetic away following from the Potteries even if they have a Wembley trip coming up.
