Stoke City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Somniloquism]

Cueller should have been playing ahead of Dunne. He isn't even going up for corners anymore as it will be too tiring to waddle up and down the pitch and he struggles to get off the ground.

Only managed the last 15 mins and evident again is our lack of not being able to keep the ball up field.

No, we must go back because some useless fucker in red and white is approaching.  So, it's back to Warnock (I don't want it) so I'll give it to the player who's given it to me, here you are Rio.  Rio, (I certainly don't want it) here you are Warnock ( Oh fuck he's given it back to me and this person barely resembling a footballer is still on my case) better give it to Brad.....Hoof


Unless we have players who are comfortable with the ball in any given situation we will not progress.  It's been the same for the last 10 years.  We lack technical ability and too often shit our pants when a level head is needed. 

Hurry up Houlier and sort this shit out.

What's the criteria for an EPL manager.....if that's the crap that is produced by VILLA...i'm staying at home and watching the Father Ted dvd box set again..and again..and again..and again..maybe forever.
            Don't talk to me about closing out a game ..most of this shit could'nt close a door.

  GLAD TO HAVE BEEN ALIVE ON THE 26TH MAY 1982...THE REST IS FORGOTTEN!

Paulie, you weren't exactly Holland 74 either mate.

Ads, you might have returned 600, but that end was barely just over half full. Just suprised, that's all, as your away support has been right up there the last 2 years. Vocally very goo tonight, apart from that Yippee ay ey toon, which is pretty cringy tbh.

What pisses me off the most about Stoke is that other clubs get absolutely fucking slaughtered for playing like that yet they're plucky little Stoke with their great fans and their doing ever so well to stay up.

Their style of football is no worse than we've had to endure for the last two years.  Their priority was to stay in the league, now they've started to add a few more decent players as well, like Gudjonsen and dare I say it Pennant.

Neither of whom are good enough for Villa - we don't sign Pennant types and Gudjonsen = Robbie Keane who would eb seen as a retorgrade step signing at VP.

Perhaps we need to get real, there are players about, but MON was just as awful as awful can get in the transfer market.

Houllier, get in man FFS

Paulie, you weren't exactly Holland 74 either mate.

Compared to you, we were.

[Somniloquism]

And Delilah isn't cringe worthy? How about booing when the opposition have the ball. That got pretty cringeworthy as well.

What pisses me off is that, after years of losing to Wimbledon then Leicester, we still can't beat dross like that.

That said, taking Agbonlahor off was lunacy. Meant they could send as many defenders forward as they liked, sure enough one of the buggers scored.

One positive was an excellent performance from Downing. Hopefully he will keep it up.

I hope Petrov fulfils his threat to pack in international football, he looked knackered. I'm hoping it's because of the internationals... if it's not, I'm worried about him.

I just find there to be some hypocrisy in you calling our numbers pathetic when you brought similar numbers to B6 on Saturday at 3pm.

Gabby went down the tunnel and some lucky fan is now the first owner of a Villa shirt from 10/11- I can only assume that his calves are still playing him up.

Stoke are Stoke and always will be Stoke.

We are Villa.

MON's departure timing is certainly bearing fruit. He basically caused chaos by upping sticks and taking his cronies with him. Inconsistent results in my opinion will continue like this for some time yet. Ierland and Cuellar should've come on after about 70 minutes. Why can't we bring the Fonz on instead of Heskey?

Mac clearly dosen't rate the Fonz. Bizarre given our bench had two centre backs and an RB on it, surely you could've left one out and had another attacking option on there?!

 Its like I said, we’re doomed to a few seasons of unbelievable results up at The Britannia. They are the new Wimbledon and Leicester. It’s worth taking heart though to remember the score lines when we finally had rid of them as a bogey team.

Alas we’re doomed forever to be shit against Man City.

[Bunny@Stoke]

ads, we took 2487 last year, got it right here in front of me in a Stoke programme from the end of the season . Disappointing we didn't sell out though.

For a club of your size I expected a lot more in terms of numbers that's all. As I stated on the Oatcake, you outsang us all night.

You sure on that? The last block by your fans was barely full but the rest was so I'd say 2 500k ish.

Oh and we aren't Yam yams for the second year running.

[Bunny@Stoke]

nowhere near that figure mate, honestly. Two blocks totally unfilled and plenty of gaps.

Still thought your support was constant and very good.
