Stoke City v Aston Villa Match Thread

thats a pen

[usav]

Why isn't that a penalty on Petrov?

[Bad English]

Do Stoke fans always spend the game booing and jeering? They are fucking pains in the arses!

[PeterWithesShin]

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?

[D.boy]

Blatant trip on Petrov in the box.

[Somniloquism]

The ref ignores a deliberate trip on Petrov from that corner.

[Reality]

Walters dirty little prick. Stoke are horrendous to watch. Hope they go down and stay there.

Like a shitting puppy on a washing machine doing a spin cycle.

[The Man With A Stick]

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.

[Risso]

Zzzzzzzzzz

[dicedlam]

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.

fuck me..that bad?

[Mac]

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

[Somniloquism]

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.

Come and get it and, in particular Petrovs case, don't pass it back every single time.

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.

[Reality]

It is laughable the way Downing calls himself a professional footballer, and yet constantly runs away from the ball. Pathetic.
