Aston Villa v Stoke City Match Thread

ZZzzz ZZzzz ZZzzz

[Irish villain]

I'd love us to sign Clint Dempsey.

I said this yesterday.

I wasn't online yesterday, sorry I missed your comment. He'd cost megabucks but he could really take us up a level.

If we did actually go down apart from Bent there isn't any of the senior players I'd be upset with us losing. Worst Villa squad in some time.

[pauliewalnuts]

That's better. Come on Villa, FFS

[Nelly]

That was a better move. I like how Ireland seems to be linking everything. I don't mind patient play. If we've got the ball it's a step in the right direction!

Meanwhile Blues are already 2-0 up at  Upton Park

This is shit and very dull.

Shit defending by lichaj that.

Can anyone have a go at describing what our game plan is?

Given the circumstances he's working in, he's doing a really good job there.

[PaulWinch again]

This is not the most exciting game.

And given how much I dislike Allardyce, I'm almost pleased about that.

Almost.
