I have never seen a team clear the ball while in the opponent's half before.
Aston Villa are revolutionizing tactics.
Aren't tactics usually meant to progress?

Was gonna ask if I missed anything, but then I remembered.

I looked away and the announcer said Huth, and I thought that was a keyword for us passing.

I said this on Twitter a couple says ago.
But, it was late at night, and I was in a pneumonia-fueled haze, but I keep imagining the Cleveland Tourism Videos being redone for Villa.

So Ryan Shawcross is trying to give back a pen and the ref gets pissed off

Ryan Shawcross invokes a fight-or-flight reaction in most people

I think I'd run if he were brandishing a pen at me

haha
Surprised the guy even knows what a “pen” does.

I love Ciaran Clark as a midfielder
I we plays a 4-3-3 with Clark, Petrov and Bannan in the center I would be sooo happy
If Villa's counters were a bit quicker
I think they could catch Stoke

So while this game has been terrible Villa haven't been playing badly and the boring feels more like Stoke's fault than ours
Petrov close
been a good half for Villa so far

Well this is Stoke, just need to make sure they don’t ritually sacrafice Marc.

Alex McLeish will be the happier manager
Pretty good half for Villa in truth, if they don’t come out flat the first 15 minutes of the second half then they can win this

Is that him after Mamady Sidibe's late winner
or Robert Huth’s late winner against us

I would've taken a draw before the game
But after that 90 minutes that is a game Aston Villa should’ve won
