There are some miserable Sky stats around this game...

Villa have hit just two direct free-kick shots on target this season.

That does'nt surprise me at all, our set pieces have been terrible all season.

Villa 1-2 Stoke

Walters and Jones scoring for them, with Bent scoring our only goal.

Not to be pessimistic, but I just got that funny feeling.

We haven't lost a top-flight game to Stoke at Villa Park during my lifetime, not since November 1965.

That can't be true. If it is, someone at Villa should be shot.

Surely not? That would be a seriously stupid thing to do.

It looks like he had his contract terminated in January.

Why terminate his contract in January rather than just let Stoke pay his wages for the remaining six months? The net result is the same, with the difference that he can't play against us.

And how on earth has this stayed hush hush until now?

Looks suspiciously like another one in a line of cock ups from the club this season.

If only there was some way of asking the club what has happened...

Only thing I can think of is that Stoke refused to pay for his wages if they took him on loan.
