No doubt about it, 3 points needed and expected today. I expect Villa to flatter to deceive and nick it by the odd goal. Stoke are awful on the road but this weekend has shown already that there are no certainties in the PL.

UTV!

tbf, I think Stoke have their hands full staying up this season, let alone eyeing up a CL place.

invincibleirish · 01-03-2009 3:16pm

That Veetle stream is top quality but way too jumpy for my liking.

DSB · 01-03-2009 3:51pm

Bye bye Arsenal?

eagle eye · 01-03-2009 3:53pm

Well deserved lead there for Villa. Great performance by everybody. Milner having a great game but he does annoy me from time to time, he seems sometimes to try and do more than he should with the ball but overall a great performance from him. They looked so solid at the back as well. Heskey seems to be dropping deep in a kina of link up role which is interesting.

I expect them to go on from here and win this easily, with Stoke having to push forward now, the pace of Agbonlahor and Young will find them out methinks.

Any streams working?

Neil3030 · 01-03-2009 4:08pm

Is the Iraqgoals stream down for anyone else?

Another good one at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/foot-hd-09-live too.

Neil3030 · 01-03-2009 4:16pm

Agbonlahor has been at least 4 different types of useless today... maybe even 5...

That_Guy · 01-03-2009 4:18pm

Still 1-0 to Villa?

Yes indeed. Stoke beginning to mount some attacks, pressing forward more. Have Fuller on.

invincibleirish · 01-03-2009 4:22pm

Excellent tackle by L. Young

Neil3030 · 01-03-2009 4:23pm

Unbelievable tackle

wynters · 01-03-2009 4:25pm

On current form he's the best full back in the league that lad...

Kinetic^ · 01-03-2009 4:27pm

2 bad passes by Barry in the last few.

Great tackle by young as well.

_blank_ · 01-03-2009 4:28pm
