I was away last week and couldn't go yesterday , saw Villa match in a bar Majorca ....5 points from the last games is a very good haul.....More than I thought we would get ! Onwards and upwards strange league this one , I do believe anything can happen this season !

I was thinking Cook could be their next manager in waiting especially if they go down , not sure he could keep them in the Prem though if Dyche walked or was sacked !!

My uncle went to that game and he was never the same after it !!

They are defensively a much stronger unit than us .... not a lot up front but scored a good goal last night and usually they only need one !

Let us all hope not ... Stoke are better than their league position suggests in past seasons we have been masters at giving teams a helping hand who are struggling , could be a difficult afternoon..

I wasn't there that day , could have been late 80s , year after they beat us to end 23 game run poss...

I first went to Stoke in 78 when Howard Kendall as playing for them and we lost...Once went to Victoria Ground at New Year high scoring draw in 80s ....Cannot remember us winning there at all ! Seen us win at West Ham Pearce scoring late winner midweek game... Leicester yes, we had just signed Livingstone and Dobson 3 -1 I think.... I have never been but don't think or record at either Bristol club is very good !

Said this before far more trouble v Bolton ...than any other club , I was there in 73 Sir Rogers finest hour and when they went up in 78 ......

Huddersfield and Cardiff are probably down now ! So only one place up for grabs , Brighton , New castle , Burnley and someone to fall through pack !!

Not from me , watch it on Sky .. Obscene amount of money , for televised game !!!!

Maybe so but it was a bloody free kick ...

Brad Friedel best goalkeeper I ever saw had a weakness in organising a wall ...The free kick was perfect , move on ! Also last kick of the match and no room for error ...

Rather good free kick if you ask me!!!

The bottom line is , we over achieved in the World Cup due to a good draw.!!!

The substitutions gave Bristol a big lift not sure who they were but it lifted the crowd !!

Started both halves very slowly !! Nyambe and Lenihan very poor , saying that we should have scored more than 1 in 1st half ... Armstrong very poor also !!

Monsieur Henry , I presume !

No idea, time will tell ....

Marshall Burke in 1981 ??? Johnny Price ??? Adam Blacklaw ???

I think the game is huge for Senor Mourinho , a loss and he is gone !

I am not getting at Mowbray , we have genuine injuries..Most managers nowadays change teams for cup ties , whether they need to or not !!

I always think , picking a weakened team gives the manager an excuse !!!

Good...

The thing that puzzles me , why didn't they strengthen the squad during the summer ??? Maybe it's the keeper change cos they are leaking goals , which is surprising...

If Rodwell can and still wants to play football , he will be a very good player for Blackburn Rovers... Time will tell , I have my doubts but look at Kevin Davies for Bolton
