Aston Villa vs Stoke City Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Sounds utter shit again, big surprise there.

Best part of that half was when it almost kicked off in the north.

Nu-Stoke are as shit as the old Stoke. We are diabolical to boot. It's cold too.

Get Hutton and Westwood off. Richards into full back, Sanchez into midfield and Grealish wide.

We did get better as the half went on there, in my opinion, although it's not exactly classic stuff. It's probably a formation that we could use given a bit of practice. Just not against Stoke, at home, when they're in pretty poor form, and we need a win.

Westwood and Sinclair off for Ayew and Gil or Grealish. Sadly won't happen...

Gestede off too. Nothing against him per se, but he brings out the absolute worst in us.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Place your bets nothing changes at half time

Like against Blose?

We're halfway to a point..

3 goals in last 2 games? Not quite the worst.

This has been like watching a Siberian peasant drown a litter of puppies one by one because all he has to feed his family is half a barrel of pickled stones and a bit of brown snow.

fuck are you peeping through my window? Thats what I've got on

Eastenders is such a drag these days.

What's going on then?

The same thing that's happened for the last 4/5 years.

Blues are Blues, and Liverpool's defending was bad for his first. His second was good, I grant, but he's more hindrance than help in my opinion.

[russon]

can we declare at 0-0?

He's ace in the air, in the box (although he still manages to not win many aerial duels), but he's otherwise absolutely useless.

We really can't afford to be fielding a player who offers so little else. Either we take him off or we spend 45 minutes launching the ball at him.

Well from my seat looking around we may make it to other side of 30k.
