Aston Villa v Stoke City Match Thread

[Jimbo]

What it boils down to is this: we're a terrible, terrible football team and we bring most of our 'misfortune' upon ourselves.

[Apyadg]

It's hard to be  surprised. One win at home since November. No wonder the attendance is only 30k, and probably a lot lower with ST holders who don't want to go and watch this.

[Trinitymiddle]

Pullis thinks he can win this, and you cant argue with him really.

[Toronto Villa]

this has been such an exhausting season. Feels like we need to work twice as hard as everyone else just to feel any sense of happiness. And even then it comes with a free grey cloud.

[Irish villain]

I want a point now. that's what we've been reduced to

Not me. I want all three, and so should the team and the manager. We're at home to Stoke, surely we've got to go for it?!

We should go for it.  Win this and we are safe, well almost.

I know we should go for it. But I'd be grateful right now if we get a point.

[Dave]

What is wrong with this referee?

[ozzjim]

Gabby really doesn't have a clue about movement.

Too true he is not half the player most Villa fans believe him to be.


That is another foul


The ref is a fucking ******. He has been all for them.

[Doorbell]

That has to be a foul on gabby, what the fuck are the officials playing at.

[Irish villain]

Mike Dean you are a disgrace. He took Gabby's legs.

[Summers]

Fucking hell ref. How is that not a foul on Gabs.

[Fergal]

I will say it again this ref is an incompetent ******.  Gabby was clearly fouled.

[Apyadg]

It probably makes me a terrible fan, but stoke at 6/1 to win. Couldn't say no to that, seems inevitable.

[boboonthecorner]

Thats a shocking decision by the ref absolutely nowhere near a fair challenge??? Blose 3-3.

[Trinitymiddle]

How id that not a foul on Gabby and Gardener on Pennant is???

Self inflicted from the moment they appointed this useless prick.

I hate what this man is doing to our club. The reason we're scrambling around desperately for points at the end of the season, right when we have an injury crisis, is because the unambitious turd was too cowardly to go for points earlier in the season.
