Aston Villa v Stoke City Pre-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Is this one on TV?

No.

[villanic]

Is this one on TV?

No, it has to kick off late because Stoke where the late game on Saturday and they have to have 48 hrs between games.

Is this one on TV?

Good god I doubt it.

Is this one on TV?

No. It would probably get lower viewing figures than the Parliament Channel showing live coverage of a select committee meeting on Welsh affairs.

Trying to figure out a bet to put on this but for the life of me I can't pick between 0-0 and 1-1.

[B90 villain]

I can feel a big win coming tomorrow Stoke have nothing to play for and they are not the best away from home. 4-0 villa gabby to get a hat trick and Weiman to get the other.

[silhillvilla]

0-0 sounds about right, sub 30,000 and one of the worst PL games in history

& No, I'm not going

I'm not sure we'll get that many goals in all our remaining home games!

Pulis is saying he'll freshen things up and I think we need to do the same.

Weimann to come in up front, and at least two in midfield from alby, CNZ and Gardner.

[Colhint]

think this game is made for Ireland and Bannan

[Villanation]

First of is Gabby playing, I thought he took a hell of a knock early in the first half yesterday, he was walking around very gingerly for a good few minutes afterwards and although for me he looked a bit listless for 20 or so mins in the second half which I thought was the knock he looked to run it of and came back into the game. Great performance from Gabby.

Stoke, I have always thought you never know what your going to get until they boot of, then you know.

1-1 and another hard earned point, that's based on Gabby playing.

[UK Redsox]

Gabby should have been taken off after an hour on Saturday. He was really struggling to move as the game progressed due to the knock sustained earlier. However, since Weimann isn't fully fit either and our other star "striker" was already on the field as a midfielder, Gabby had to battle through.

Maybe, Andy could start against Stoke and then Gabby brought on if needed.

Given

Hutton
Baker
Collins
Lihaj

Warnock
Gardner
Herd
Ireland
Bannan

Weimann


Are Marc and Zog likely to be fit ?

[JJ-AV]

Will N'Zogbia or Cuellar be fit?

[andyh]

Pulis has admitted they have achieved their goal for the season, survival.
I think they will be on the beach now.
1 - 1

[damon loves JT]

This one is going to go down in history. In years to come, if you mention 'The Stoke Game', everyone will nod knowingly. As in: 'bloody hell, when our third goal went in I thought it was going to be like The Stoke Game.'

0-0

[Mazrim]

Heheheh.
