Bannan been a bit of a mixed bag today for me.  Some passes very wayward.  Set piece delivery not great either.

Wigan equalise.

Come on Villa nick this

[Fergal]

Crouch on. I'm not saying anything about that.

We aint had a Crouchie thread for a while...

[SamTheMouse]

We've looked rubbish since Bent and Ireland came on...

Apparently, he's good on the deck for a big man.

[Brian Taylor]

Stoke are rubbish but we have more experience.!! C'mon Villa..Let's see a proper pass!

[Boz]

They're looking like they could pinch this. We've gone off the boil

He gave the ball away twice I think? and wasted one free kick in particular. Was very involved though so i'm sure ratio wise it was pretty good.

We look more likely to find the cure for AIDS than win this.

[Fergal]

A goal would be especially sweet if Bent scored now....

[Rigadon]

No chance was that a foul.

You're right - he wasn't all bad but he's been so good recently that I expect more from him these days.

I'd take any goal

[Boz]

We're looking like we've settled for a point
