The same Villa always turn up, same team, same tactics it just depends on the opposition if it works or not.

The unfortunate truth. But once again i will hope that Heskey doesn't start and L.Young plays at rb.

I'll take a point at Stoke but i wish we'd risk it more to win. A win and loss is better than 2 draws and in games like this the risk is well worth the return.

Our defense was great, did their job and did it well. Our attack was impotent we didn't really look like scoring. Playing Heskey and Carew up front doesn't mean we should play hoofball they both play better with the ball at their feet. King Carlos should not do long throw ins!!!! the reason Delaps throws are dangerous isn't the distance its the trajectory. Throwing loopy balls into the box is useless.

Geez that was not very fun to watch at all. Lets hope for 15 minute of magic again.

Put the Fonz in instead of Heskey.

Out of any team in the Premier league Stoke are the last team i want the fonz starting against... unless you truly believe in baptism by fire.

Well seeing as we are playing a mid week game if Gabby isn't 100% fit no need to start him. I am just hoping that we decide to actually start this game before the 2nd half because stoke will hurt us if we let them dominate as much of the game.

Thinking 2-0 with Carew and Milner to score

Stokes home record this season is 6-4-4. Their home ground is far from the fortress it was last season. We should be winning this game. Thinking it be 3-1.

PENALTY!

why dont we want to hold the ball at all

Sub time Mon please

ohh Hesey u should score

**** YES

Looking like more March Madness for MoN. Seriously Carew and Heskey up front is fail. The defense has been a joke. No communication. Get Carew off at half time and put either Delph or The fonz on. Both know how to score and both have a lot more energy than that over-paid garbage impersonating Carew this season.

FML

FFS wake up villa.

Dont like the team balance at the moment

Carew and Heskey up front looks like we'll be playing exciting football tonight. Lets hope Fonz gets a decent run out tonight.

I'm already satisfied with what we have achieved in the cups (though given who are left in the fa cup and the game coming up would be a little dissapointed if we got knocked out now).

7th is the bare minimum. Would like 4th place but would be happy if we stay in the race for 4th until mid April.

Agree with so much Samuel has said. Watching it on tv i was just waiting for Dowd to pull out the card but it just never came. It was as clear a red as you get. Whats worse is that he then starts booking Villa players for late tackles and ignores it when carrick does the same thing literally one minute later.

But i have given up on refs this season the only thing i want to see is both teams treated the same but i could be waiting a while.

Friedel

Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock

Downing Milner Petrov Young

Heskey Agbonlahor

IMO our best 11

Well Carew did so well there . Game over.

Downing looking so much more confident this game.

Need to avoid extra time come on villa

PENALTY

why the ginger instead of a striker for carew

Dunne should have scored there
