Aston Villa v Stoke City Match Thread

[Irish villain]

This is unacceptable. Sack him. Let Sid and Kevin Mac rally the troops for the rest of the season. Christ surely they can manage a win that'll see us safe.

Surely Cuellar would've been a  better option?

[The Man With A Stick]

What is wrong with this manager !!!!!!!!
Heskey!!!!!

Who else could he bring on?

Get Wolfie on.

[Fergal]

I'd love to know whether the negative tactics come from AMc or from the player's fragile confidence.

No doubt people will moan about the goal (justifiably) but by the law of averages allowing stoke to keep pumping it into the box was always going to result in a chance.  Whereas we should have been concentrating on keeping possession.

Either way he needs sacking

[Jimbo]

Ooh Jimbo - I'd just come in and saw HESKEY in caps. Thought I'd moved into a different astral plane and he'd burst the net.

I've told you before, lay off the crystal meth.

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.

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.

Nailed it.

I'm just so fucking bored watching us. I have such a hard time getting excited about Villa right now. It's like the life has been sucked right out of me. I would take being induced into a coma and waking up in August. Off course, the nurse will tell me McLeish is still manager, we've sold Bent and Ireland and signed Kevin Francis and resigned Heskey and I'll tell her to put me under again.

[Fergal]

More chance of him scoring...

[pauliewalnuts]

This has been quite hideous.

Other than the goal, have we had a shot on target?

[The Man With A Stick]

mcleish pointing at the club badge....deary deary me. what a dickhead.

What was he doing that for?  I'm at work thankfully and not watching this tripe.

[woody4866]

How many times have villa players stumbled or fell over today???

Picking up tips from Heskey

[Irish villain]

39% possession this half, against Stoke!!!!!!!!!!

[PaulWinch again]

We have been shit in the second half, we should have tried to kill the game and we've paid the price.

[Axl Rose]

ireland..sigh. this has been a shocker hasn't it? so frustrating. Can't see it getting better against sunderland and bolton. I hope I am proved wrong.

[Rigadon]

This season has been an absolute fucking stinker.  Shite.
