5Live commentators are willing us to concede. Sod off.

Why are 5Live against us?
With the title race dead the relegation battle is where its at. Same for sky. We are the big name down there.

Right. Relax for 15.

Barring the missed chances a great performance so far. But we've been here so often before with this side. As absolutely awful as Stoke have been, they're going to get a chance at some point from a set piece. We really need a second.

Westwood has been absolutely fantastic. He really does look like Michael Carrick today.

They're struggling to cope with both our possession and our breakaway play. But we've missed two one on ones. We need Benteke to get one of these gilt edged chances.

I do think CNZ at some point could be really dangerous.

But I'm genuinely not sure I can stomach watching the second half. This is so important for us this game.

Stoke have surprised me with their shitness, still it's incompetence on our part for not making more of it. We had lots of chances there to be 2 or 3 up. It worries me as well when our play breaks down our shape is shot to pieces. Take a look, at times there's 4 strikers hanging around the same place and I think we're too easy to score against.

But if we keep going forward, surely we can outscore them?

I know we are not allowed to ask for streams, but I want to bend the rules a little bit and ask if anyone knows where I can watch the Grand National?

Can we play well for 90 minutes, or will we stick to a good 45 and regret our missed chances???

I'm not fearing Stoke. I just hope nothing jammy happens against us like some deflected shot or refs mistake.

Fuck off Referee. Keeper caught him.

caught him. whether it was a penalty or not, his foot was clearly caught.

he shoulda shot anyway, and none of it woulda happened.

not two hours later ;)

Stoke can't be this shite for 90 minutes can they?  Unless we get another I hope they can be.

Thing is, despite their shitness they're still winning 70% of the headers in our box, they're not all going to fly over the top.

A good first half boys apart from not putting the game out of sight. I fear the worst for the 2nd half as Stoke can't be that bad again plus we have been unable to play for two halves all season.

Come on Villa please...
