Aston Villa v Stoke City Post-Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

ok

you have to laugh, after all the soundbites that came out of Villa Park about doing this for the manager

the manager that was in hospital

the one we were going to show how much he was respected by the players

and then that


there isn't much more anybody connected to Aston Villa can add after watching that


the big performance

for Gerard

that never happened

Randy?

Nah, he's just narked because he dropped a bundle on Villa losing today.

[The Situation]

The sooner stoke disappear from the Premier League, the better.

Fair result, horrible game to watch and not just because Stoke started time wasting in the first half. Highlight of the afternoon was Peter Withe being on the pitch before kick off.

Brad made a superb save early on, Stoke did what they do well with their goal and I don't see anything wrong with using throw ins well, I wish we did. Bent's goal came from one of the few quality crosses we put in all game.

We just don't spark when going forward like we did last season, of course last season we had Milner but something just doesn't click and we end up going backwards and sideways all too often.

isnt there some calculation done on how many points are 100% safe? Taking all matches in considuration, with teams in the bottom half playing each other...

[rob_bridge]

Sums up the wasted season in many respects- lack of creativity, lack of imagination, some endeavour though not  enough and conceding another soft(ish), though even more so entirely predictable goal. That said there is more stability in those picked and playing in their proper positions. We should be safe with 41 - with that squad we are 20 points behind where we should have been.

I wish Houllier all the best in his recovery to full health. Let's draw a line under this on May 23rd and start afresh with a new Chief Executive, a new Manager and a new Assitant Manager.  We need a proper fresh start as per 1991 and 2006 the two other times where the Villa had under performed to an unacceptable level.

Yes, you're right what was I thinking. Sorry man. Villa players all decided collectively to stick two fingers up at their ailing boss today by drawing against Stoke. I'm a little disappointed they didn't agree into taking a full Bolton which would have been more in line your line of conspiracy theory. Randy, call the cops. There's been a crime down Villa Park. Houllier out!!

With every new post you are ticking every box for being a troll.

Was it me our for the 1st goal did the ref makes Downing move 20 yards back from the touchline allowing Delap a free throw with no chance of blocking it.

As it looked like Downing was not allowed to block the throw.

JESUS WEPT TORONTO

yip that match today showed us how we as a club think of Gerard


basically the players couldnt give a fuck


thats why we are CELEBRATING 41 POINTS

anyway all the best in toronto

Poor performance and we never really tested their keeper apart from the goal, heskey was very poor and reo-cokers passing today was well off the Mark, Collins seemed to be out of position too often , but dunne looked better today , petrov man of the match for me.

Poor game not helped by the Stoke goalie who wasted sooooo much time and even Pullis was telling him to hurry up at the end. Downing was unlucky to get subbed when Ash should have gone really.Loads of pushing and pulling at the corners
