West Ham United vs. Aston Villa: Pre-Match Thread

[damon loves JT]

It will be something stupid like 4-4 or 5-3.

Though I would love a tedious, unconvincing 0-1

[WikiVilla]

we dont do 0-1 away wins anymore

[JJ-AV]

0-2 Villa. Another clean sheet. Bent and Downing.

[DeKuip]

Der Hammers 2   The Villa 0
Ba Ba                  Blank Sheet

[Greg N'Ash]

think we'll lose this. 2-1

[Caiphus]

Fuck the kit stealers
0-4 Villa.
Bent with a brace, walker with a rocket and downing chipping in with a far post volley.

[WikiVilla]

I'd like to see Walker dropped for this one and perhaps Cuellar back in at RB

[Monty]

I'd like to see Walker dropped for this one and perhaps Cuellar back in at RB

Or perhaps Walker played further forward in a 4-5-1-type shape, maybe dropping Gabby?

[Duncan Shaw]

Early goal and we'll win comfortably.
0-3 Bent, Young (A), Downing

[JUAN PABLO]

They will be as nervous as we were against barcodes.     Villa win.   1-2        Downing, Bent...

[Concrete John]

Don't think this is the right time for experimentation - go with what we know.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Hoping that the fact that they're under huge pressure makes them too nervous. A bit like we were for the first 20 minutes against Newcastle.

Will be my first ever trip to West Ham, hoping for a jammy Milner-style winner.

[luke25]

2-2 Bent and Walker

[Pete3206]

We'll piss all over them, will go 1-0 up, then we'll waste loads of chances and end up losing 2-1 with a Hitzlesperger winner in the 90th minute.

[darren woolley]

I will go 1-1 with Bent scoring i think we will just manage a draw.
