Saturday 27th February 2016 3pm.
It'll be cold.

Always look on the bright side of life, du-du, du, du, du, du-du.

It'll be cold.
It's always cold in that stench pit
-
2-0, another 3 points gone
-
It'll be cold.
Legion will be there. Adjust your travel arrangements accordingly
-
0-3 or a shock accidental 1-0
-
the last time I went to the rugby the mighty Villa beat Sunderland away 4 nil....so hoping for a similar result :)
Gabby (2) Gil and Vertout :)
UTV
The Doc

Can't see us getting anything out of this one, confidence must be shot after the Liverpool hiding. If Stoke get an early goal, I can see another spanking.

Agree, despite the rhetoric on the OS about us bouncing back any shred of confidence will be shot to pieces - 3-1 Stoke with Sinclair bagging a late consolation
-
Them 1-2 Us.
My third trip there since they got promoted. We've only won there twice, both were my visits and it wasn't cold either time. So we'll win and the weather will be pleasant.
And Mr Sox hopefully won't have his car driven into twice. While stationary on a car park. All because Legion was in the car with us.
-
2-0 Villa. The great escape starts now........
Veretout and Richards.
-
Win for us. Lowton with a screamer. Benteke late on.
-
Not a prayer

Well you'd hope that they'd put it behind them and come out fighting. However, if they had that mentality...
I can see them playing better ( it can't get any worse... can it?) Either way, I dont see anything more than 3 goals.
Still, lets keep a little optimism - even if is delusional.
-
Truly a thing of beauty! Mr Sox had his face cut in the celebrations and I nearly went over the seats in front and behind a couple of times I was getting dragged all over the shop. Splendid stuff.
The 8 on 1 with the 1 being their goalie for the third wasn't bad either.

That's right up there with my favourite goals I've ever seen for the club, not particularly important but it's one of the cleanest strikes you'll ever see, it's a genuine disgrace that an offside goal a few days later was somehow voted as better.
-
Loved that goal and the later one that went with it. Great stuff.
-
It was that goal (& subsequent win) that confirmed in my mind that we were going to be safe. Great day out.
-
Shit ground myth of an atmosphere bussed in rounded up etc etc
Come on villa we can do it
-
Who gives a fuck? It will be cold and we will lose.
-

Are those Micah Richards' pre-match comments from the OS?
-
Stoke have an abundance of talent, but the consistency of Dalian Atkinson. This very much depends if they show up for the game and if they click on the day. If they do we're going to get completely caned. If we catch them on an off day, we might nick something. That said, I can't see us winning. I'd take a draw. That does fuck all for us of course, but I'll still take it.
-
6-0 defeat
-
We're running out of dumb ways to give games away. We've done stupid red card, goalkeeping howlers, reckless tackles giving away penalties, defence parting like the Red Sea, the lot.
I've only got referee kicking one in left on the bingo card. So I'll go with that. 1-0.
-
Who gives a fuck? It will be cold and we will lose.
Are those Micah Richards' pre-match comments from the OS?
Nope. Micah said:
"I sawed what JL said the uvva day and he is right, innit. Who da fuck wants to play at Stoke when the weather is mince?"
-
Stoke too organised for our lily livered lot. 2-0 Stoke.
-
I predict we will sing a lot.
-
Stoke City 2 Aston Villa R 0
-
easy win
-

I really liked Big John Carew's goal against Stoke a few years before that one too. His first time volley. Top class.

-
3-0 Stoke. The big red R gets ever closer.....
-
cant see us scoring
can see them scoring a lot
Stoke -1 @ 2/1 looks the banker bet of the weekend
might double it with Palace to do the baggies
-
Can't see where the next win is coming from, routine 2-0 them.
Was watching "Football Today" last night, not sure you get it over there or if its just for North American TV, anyhow Danny Mills and Leroy Rosenior we're pissing themselves about us when asked do they think we have any chance of staying up and how nobody at the club has a clue what they're doing!
Mind you they both thought Big Sam was the messiah and his superb signings in January will definitely keep them up, so what do they know!
So depressing, we have a Bournemouth fan work here and even he is taking the piss, a f****n Bournemouth fan!! Grrrrrr
-
Tell the proxy Bournemoith fan to enjoy his minute in the sun, and that we'll pass them as we come up and they go down next season. Fucking oik.
-
I reckon we will lose this 2-0. :(
-
Our worst season for decades, this season and last are the best in their history. We still beat them twice. No mark twats.
-
It's sad to see nothing clubs like Stoke out performing us by a margin. They still can't bring a crowd 40 miles down the road either.
Meh.
-
Another horrid spanking
-
I have to believe we can go there and win and reignite a tiny little flickering slight hope of a miracle.
What else is there ?

Bastard poxy autocorrect not recognizing the word poxy.
-
3-0 defeat. It makes no odds now, we're already down. I'm going and will have a few beers and sing for 90 minutes, the football is irrelevant.
-
The gap since the Liverpool game could be a bonus for us. Time to start fighting like lions and for the players to start remembering that this shit is real. i think Liverpool will have a galvanising effect and reminding us that you have to work hard for anything. We may not win, but we'll put in a shift.

Didn't recognise Bournemoith either.
Not surprising.
It's a very low profile suburb in Noo Yoik.

Routine humiliation.

I think I've got their second EP.
-
I will be there. I don't know in exact terms what to expect but I know for absolute certainty that it won't be good.
This squad have become very innovative in their methods of pouring more misery and humiliation on their fans. The words 'morbid curiosity' come to mind.
-
Another hammering. We didn't have much beforehand but we've certainly nothing left now IMO. Liverpool andrhe manner of that defeat fractured us. I fear It'll get really ugly from here on in, I mean really ugly.
3 - 0 to Stoke.
-
I think the team has gone and Remi's pre match interview today about commitment in training doesn't make me think the Liverpool game has had a galvanising effect.
3-0 loss.
-

What's he said?
Every game brings fear now, feels like damage limitation until the end of the season, trying to avoid any further hammerings and accumulate a few more points to add to the measly total.
-

Just listened to the interview Remi is brutally honest in saying he is struggling to get through the team and is not seeing commitment all the time on the training pitch

I think he finally comments in that broadcast are absolutely damning.
He has an impossible task.
-
2-1 win.
-
I don't think you can be more certain of a loss after hearing the managers comments.
He either picks senior players that are not commited or youngsters that are potential lambs to the slaughter.
Heavy defeat,

Heavy defeat,
I don't think I'd see it as lambs to the slaughter. Most of us would get behind the youngsters. We could handle mistakes. We're down anyway, so they've nothing left to lose. I'd just like to see a bit of enthusiasm and energy that some of the youngsters might bring. Who knows, we might surprise a few people.
-
Even Remi bemoaning commitment - "too many players not giving 100%" todays press conference - if the u21s won 3-0 bring em in

Agree, I guess the fear is that blooding too many at the same time is a risk. I share your sentiment I will be happy to never see many of that team wear a Villa shirt again.

Not worthy of it's own thread. It's just the usual stuff players come out with pre-game.

Not at all. It also comes from the terraces. No point moping whilst there's hope. Time for demonstrations/action/ whatever peope feel compelled to do is when we have gone. but for now we should circle the wagons and go down all guns blazes. But blazing away.

After reading our manager's pre match comments i fear the worst .I have also just found out that tosser Kevin Friend is the ref .4-0 Stoke
-
Injury list: Amavi, Traore, Sanchez, Grealish, Kozak. Plus Ayew suspended.
Not what we need at the moment, could really have done with Sanchez, Ayew and Kozak back. As it is we have to make do with powder-puff Westwood, Gestede and Gabby.

Friend is a Villa hating twat. He will be a complete homer tomorrow. We'll get beaten anyway but it just makes it more aggravating watching us get done over by him too.

The home game against Stoke was the only game I've been to this season. That day, it was Amavi who most disappointed me. He had a really bad game.
That game was so winnable and we just did nothing. They waited for us to make mistakes and then scored a couple. If we had taken the game to them that day, it could have changed our momentum.. And who knows..

Didn't we lose 1-0? I may have fallen asleep.
-
Just seen stats from the BBC site about our record this season. God it's depressing. One is that we have only scored from 10% of our attempts on goal this season, the lowest in the division. To be honest, I'm surprised it's that high.
Rudy is back but can't see past a sizable win for them. They are now a very decent side.
-
No, my mistake, it was one. Probably felt like two....
I felt our season was still in the balance then. A mid table finish seemed like it was perfectly possible.

She looks like she's playing the double bagpipes ... just, without the bagpipes (think air guitar).
Or is she going all retro on us and practising the funky chicken?
Nice baps, whatever.
-
A dismal 3-0 defeat and the misery continues.
-
Another defeat I think.3-1 to them
-
If we win this, the boobs should replace the Orange Dot.

Normally one of my favourite aways of the season (yes really) as piss easy to get to...well the place not the stadium and went to uni at Keele so usually catch up with a couple of Stokie mates.
Can't be bothered this time tbh, going to Burton-Walsall instead, biggest league game of the day in Stafford shire.
3-0 Stoke.
-
2-0 Stoke I hope I'm wrong and we somehow get a win but I can't see it.
et tu Darren?..quam frustretur!

Could be similar to Liverpool if they score early and we collapse. Depends on how much of the stuffing was knocked out of us with last result 4-2
-
Well they completely outplayed us at Villa Park - think we are in for a difficult afternoon; at least the Villa fans will be Champion league standard
-
They didn't completely outplay us, they were crap as well. Apart from that Charlie Adam effort it was a crap game between two crap sides. We were awful though, 3 at the back to home to sodding Stoke. That's the game Sherwood should have been binned as we seemed to have no tactics or game plan and it's the game he said some of the players weren't fit enough and the break coming up would be like a mini pre-season. It was October. Admitting he had failed to get them fit in the actual pre-season should have been immediately sackable.
-
The Mavericks in From Dusk Till Dawn
Stoke 2 v 0 Villa
-
Sitting here already to go and my train is not for another 3 hours - come on your lions.
-
Hoping for some sort of a result here. We are stuffed as regards relegation but some shining light required even if its going a kid or two a game.
1 - 1
-
Stoke 7 Cowards 2
-
I've put down for a win, I think the comments from Garde and the 2 weeks to 'stew' on the performance against Liverpool will prompt a response and I think Stoke are in pretty average form right now. I know it's not in line with the thoughts of many on here but I just can't believe we have a squad that are so unprofessional that they won't be needing a result to fix their collective pride.
-
Boring 0-0.
-
Waiting for Mr Sox to pick me up. I'm looking forward to it.
-
For some bizarre reason I'm really looking forward to this. It's probably for the beer and sing song because it isn't the football.

I think that was the game that convinced me this was the season we were going down.
At the time Stoke had I think 1 league win and every single game Jack Butland had been motm. Yet in that game I think we mustered one shot at goal which showed me we weren't good enough in the final third and nothing has changed.

I hope I'm wrong - particularly for the ever-magnificent away support - but I can see Stoke going 2 up by h/t & playing the rest off the game out like a training session. So come on Villa: surprise us all why dontcha?!

They didn't completely outplay us, they were crap as well. Apart from that Charlie Adam effort it was a crap game between two crap sides. We were awful though, 3 at the back to home to sodding Stoke. That's the game Sherwood should have been binned as we seemed to have no tactics or game plan and it's the game he said some of the players weren't fit enough and the break coming up would be like a mini pre-season. It was October. Admitting he had failed to get them fit in the actual pre-season should have been immediately sackable.
I think that was the game that convinced me this was the season we were going down.

Amavi getting splinters in his arse as Richardson repeatedly got turned inside-out is my abiding memory.

An against the odds backs to the wall win to bring that 4 letter word HOPE back onto these pages
Stoke 1 Villa 2 :)
-
Villa to win 2-1 with goals from Gabby and Gestede (you have to keep hoping).

Sat in the services having a Burger King as it was a doddle getting here.

What a coincidence. So am I!

Do they still put unnecessarily thick slices of tomato in their burgers?

It's BK actually. Get your homophobic, defamatory, scurillous, libellous, innuendo-laden accusations factually accurate before polluting this site with your filth.

"We want Lerner out, Randy Lerner out
I just don't think you understand
From European nights, to relegation fights
We want Randy Lerner out!"

Sacha Baron Cohen did the Football Focus predictions today. He's tipped us to surprise a few people with a much improved performance and only a 3-0 defeat.

A 3-0 defeat?
We can only dream of a 3-0 defeat with this useless/gutless bunch. We'll be blown away.......

How Bacuna, Lescott and Gabby can retain their places after the last game and aftermath is simply staggering
-
Same as it ever was.
-
Will we see any effort today? Not sure, but there will be no repercussions if they don't anyway.
-
Lose 6-0, show no effort, make fools of the club, picked next week.
-
They kept their places because the message from the manager is that while we shouldn't forget the last game, we have to remember the previous 6 which wasn't bad. You can't suddenly make wholesale changes based on one game. Everyone had a shocker that day and frankly it's not like we have too many significantly better alternatives.
-
Whelan, Imbula, Afellay, Shaqiri is a decent midfield.

Granted, but Bacuna was pulled in by the manager, Lescott offered a supporter a fight and Gabby went off with a headache...
-
Westwood and Bacuna. Good fucking grief.

Yeah, but I'd have to use B-U-K-K-A-K-E to scan that in. Even I have limits.
