Aston Villa v Stoke City Match Thread

[Doorbell]

Stoke are an abomination aren't they? Terrible to watch.

We need to get the bloody ball down and play a bit.

They are, but they're also the ones playing football by passing the ball...scary.

[Axl Rose]

For all we say about our style of play, there is always worse. A prime example is Stoke. Appalling

[pauliewalnuts]

I don't know why we do it, but you just knew pretty much as soon as we scored that we'd start sitting back and inviting pressure.

[Fergal]

If we play a bit of football we will cut these fuckers to pieces...

[Rigadon]

Should've scored.  Sublime ball from Ireland.

[Irish villain]

At the start of the season, Gabby would have scored that.

[Doorbell]

Oh Gabby...:$

[Jimbo]

Gabby with a heartfelt tribute to Heskey there.

[Irish villain]

Another injury. FFS

[Axl Rose]

Warnock injured badly? I hope not. He has been decent as of late

[boboonthecorner]

Fucking Hell how many players out injured now?

[pauliewalnuts]

Gabby with a heartfelt tribute to Heskey there.

Ha ha ha

Grrrr..... bloody finishing Gabby. He needs to wake up and realise his pace could make him a great wide man long term. As a forward he is a fast Heskey at this stage of his career.

[The Man With A Stick]

yes, just seen it myself mate-a brilliant player. I remember watching his debut against southampton when we won 2-0 on the first day of the season in 2004...looked classy. I was very happy that he got full fitness and did well for us, years on from that....haha, it's safe to say that I miss him.haha

Too bloody right.  It's been said a million times but in losing him, Bouma and Delaney through injuries in the space of a few years, that was three quarters of what could have been a bloody great defence.

[Matt Collins]

Good move that. Great ball from bannan. Gabby should have chipped it over the keeper I reckon. Not sure if that was a shot or not!!
