Aston Villa v Stoke City post match thread

[pav]

Totally wank

[richard moore]

What the fuck is there left to say? Honest to god I want stop watching football altogether because when we lose I lose all desire to keep up with the game I love. They are driving my passion for football out of me.

Absolutely TV, I give less and less of a shit about football or the Villa every week. This is what it does to you after so long...

[Singapore Villa]

What an absolute shower of shite.  Thanks for ruining another weekend.

Why did he start with 5 at the back at home to Stoke? 

I am shocked at what has happened to our football club.

Depressed.

[Jimbo]

Shit. Sack tonight. Stop gambling with shit managers.

[pauliewalnuts]

At pretty much any other club, with that sort of start to the season (and end of last season), the manager would be in grave peril of the sack right now. Sherwood won't be anywhere near it, though.

if anything sums up the depressing, limp acceptance of mediocrity at this club, it is that.

I've given up even being surprised any more.

Did we even make their keeper make a save?

Utter, utter shambles from top to bottom.

[Mister E]

Well, I couldn't raise the enthusiasm to travel from N Yorks so went for an invigorating mountain-bike ride instead. Good decision.
I'm a ST holder but just cannot face watching another year of shite.

Stoke were poor. But comfortable.

Do we work on set pieces in training? It really doesn't look like we do. They are the only dangerous opportunities we create, we really need to work on them until we start scoring from corners...even a few times a season would be a massive improvement.

To those of you too snobby to want someone like Allardyce. Wake up to how bad we are currently, we don't have shots on goal and we are a shambles in terms of organisation, this is truly the worst of all worlds.

[mr underhill]

will we be the biggest team in the Championship next season?

[dave shelley]

Out, and out now!

[ez]

Shocking

[Ger Regan]

That was atrocious from start to finish.

[GarTomas]

will we be the biggest team in the Championship next season?

We may have the most empty seats.

[garyshawsknee]

Can't say anyone was surprised after seeing that team selection. What has happened to the forward facing, attacking football of March and April?  Seriously doubting his tactical ability to make players better. 4 points from a pretty generous set of fixtures is fucking grim.

[Jimbo]

We're an uncanny reflection of Randy Lerner. We're not quite sure what we're doing, or why we're here.

[Ger Regan]

What threat was sherwood looking to nullify by playing three at the back? Answers on a postcard.
