The Mind Numbing Task of the Stoke City v Aston Villa (R) Post Match Thread.

I don't think I've ever hated Villa players more.

[Smirker]

First half not bad, second half they played as if they were pissed. Okore, Gabby, Bacuna in particular.

[VillaAlways]

Teams don't even have to try and beat us.

[kippaxvilla2]

We're going down aren't we.

[eamonn]

We'll win against Everton on Tue and all will be well again.

[curiousorange]

I've been trying to imagine what team we'll have in August. In my mind, it'll be full of youth and astute signings. In reality, it'll be this team, but with anyone with any promise removed.

[kippaxvilla2]

I don't know what is more annoying us losing or Bacuna securing his place for the rest of the season with his first goal in 31 games.

[LukeJames]

At 2-0 it was just the same old meh, couldn't even get myself worked up over it, we've seen it all before, then we get a lucky goal and have 10 minutes to throw it all forward too equalise and what do we do? fuck all, we find another level of ineptitude, every other club on the fucking planet would have been throwing all they had forward too go for the equaliser, we on the other hand watched Stoke pass it around, Remi Garde should have been yelling them on but instead he was stood there like a fucking piltchard.... It was unnaceptable, aston Villa FC is a fucking embarrasment.

Bacuna and Westwood. Please fuck off.

[in exile]

Bacuna, Westwood & Agbonlahor - please go Out The Door On 74 at the very latest.

[mr underhill]

Comfortably numb. Defeats don't even hurt anymore.

[Toronto Villa]

We're going down aren't we.

It's probably fine at this point to start using the past tense.

[curiousorange]

Both team and manager are marking time until it's official. It's to be hoped that once its out of the way, Garde will end the Villa careers of several of that squad.

[Goldie.7]

Err.

[Toronto Villa]

Comfortably numb. Defeats don't even hurt anymore.

Yep just want it done with. I'm out with my family now. I'm fortunate that I won't have to talk about it much to anyone for a bit and very likely won't bump into any Noses or Bitters. The silver linings of living away from Birmingham in a relegation year.
