Aston Villa v Stoke City Match Thread

[Somniloquism]

The Anti Football Stoke have still managed 68% possession against us this half.

[Doorbell]

Oh my days that was some awful defending.

[Irish villain]

Stream back.

[Fergal]

Stoke are a nasty little outfit aren't they?

it's not as if you can say they've got a limited budget and can only bring in certain types of player. Pulis has had quite a lot to spend. They just go out to try and bully victories. Like a modern day Wimbledon, but at least they had an excuse.

They are like Chelski without the class or money.

[Rigadon]

Good stuff.

[D.boy]

That's better, chase the ball down and put pressure the stoke players.

[The Left Side]

Ireland has gone missing a bit in the 2nd half

[ozzjim]

We are playing propper counter attack tactics though, so we are relying on soaking and hitting on the break, and will concede possession. It ain't pretty though!

[Doorbell]

F me is heskey wearing an inflatable fat suit or has he put on 200ibs?!

Haha! Who ate all the pies?

Did you seem him too IV?!

I did, his arms and upper body look massive!

I heard he was bulking up because Barry Bannan was out muscling him in training.

He may have over done it...when AMc told him he wanted to use him to park the bus I think he may have taken this advice literally....

[The Man With A Stick]

Chelsea with oatcakes.

[Fergal]

Emule will be looking at Huth's 9 goals last season with envy.

And Messi's last 12 games

They seem to have mastered the art of tackling and going through on the player wether its in the air or on the floor. Dirty scum!

Although he just found Palacios

[ozzjim]

Diving bastard. Nowhere near your face.


Ireland is tiring. NZogbia out wide for him and move Gardner central maybe.

[pauliewalnuts]

We give the ball away so much and then seem to be not hugely bothered about getting it back again.
