Aston Villa v Stoke City Post-Match Thread

[D.boy]

Great finish by Wiemann but what a dire game. Just get this season over with and put us out of our misery.

Good results this weekend. 2 points more than i thought we'd get, and results around us went perfectly.

Great goal from Weiman, good game from Ireland.

As often with us it wasn't that we had loads of individuals under performing, it's just that as a unit we are ineffective. Got to put that down to the manager i'm afraid.

Hope he sorts it out next year.

[Lambert and Payne]

That match was truly horrendous to watch.

Bar the goal, did we even have a shot on target? I hate what this man is doing to this club.

I only hope randy looks around at the 13,000 empty seats, looks at the table, and fucking well wakes up. Quickly.

When he doesn't bother to make the effort to come see VP anymore, how will he? Does he even watch the games on TV?

World Class goal from AW.

Sunday League class game apart from that.

95 minutes - i think we had one shot and it went in. The rest was spent watching Delap and Shotton wiping the ball on the shirt or Shawcross/Huth/Collins grappling each other.

What complete and utter dross, no wonder there was over 10,000 empty seats. There must be fuck all to do in Stoke if they get so many turn up to watch that shit every week?

13,000 empty seats. That's about £300,000...or heskey's wages for a month.

As supporters we must be the biggest mugs in football. Incapable of scoring more than once at home and usually away. 1-1 at home to Stoke is all we're good for. Predictable waste of time. I'm glad I spent the game gardening.

Thank god there's some awful teams in the league as wed be fucked. So depressing,nothing changes,worse footballing side I've seen at VP for years.( us not Stoke).

[Villanation]

It will cost Randy much, more than the compensation that he'll have to pay out if he retains McLeish. I really don't give a fuck if people/media say we never gave him a chance or that it's because he was a former Birmingham manager. He's boring me into not caring and that makes me angry.

Bothering about what the media say would vanish instantly, once any new manager was appointed and we start winning.

The point of boring, got to say it, watching Villa has created a whole new meaning to the word boring, it beggars belief.

Hutton and Ireland were shit! Baker, Collins, Weimann excellent.

Gabby cannot play with his back to goal, I actually wanted Heskey on earlier, as Stoke is probably the only game made especially for the big cart horse. As soon as it became clear Ireland had decided to take a day off, he should have been taken off.

Overall, I hope we are last on MOTD, tell your friends to tune out before this game comes on!

I'n glad someone else thinks Ireland is shit. He may run around but he does sweet f.a. doesn't track his marker and if he can't dominate in the midfield against Stoke one is entitled to ask 'what is the point of him?'

[Axl Rose]

the worst season ever in many respects. I can't ever remember thinking in my life as a Villa fan in the last 20 years or so and think of a worse manager, worse tactics, worse feeling inside my own body about what will happen during the ever so predictive result. 1-1 against Stoke. How rubbish. It is largely down to Mcleish, if not all down to him. I wonder if we are worse as a team to watch as Birmingham were last year....we're pretty close.

[ian c.]

I can't stand Stoke.  Ref let them get away with it again.

No lack of effort on our part, but with the usual predictable outcome.

Very frustrating that we seem clueless as to how to attack once we take a lead.

 

[Somniloquism]

Thirty Thousand or so listed. But does that mean we actually had less then that in the ground due to them counting ST holders who didn't actually turn up?

[Fergal]

3 shots on target in 90 mins, fucking wank. 

[Villanation]

Watching Villa these days and you begin to understand the concept of people throwing themselves of bridges, the top of buildings and feeding a hose from the exhaust in through the back window of the car, it truly is awful debilitating football.
