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

[Dan England]

Well done lads. Bar the fact they didn't start until two minutes in a very professional performance. Kept going till the end and it paid off, a pleasant change from someone else doing it to us! Onwards and upwards. Up the Villa!

[Deano's Mullet]

excellent stuff.

[Steve R]

I had it all worked out a couple of weeks back, with a little help from BBC predictor.

We finish 6th, Small Heath get the bums rush from UEFA, we take their place and trash Rapid Vienna in the final.

[UK Redsox]

the curse of the black shirt is lifted

Take that Oswald Mosley!!

[Toronto Villa]

Still hope sack Houllier after we win next week against stoke and are safe i really hate him

lovely. So you can't see the improvements and you hate the bloke? No pleasing some.

First time we've come from behind to win this season, first time a sub has scored for us this season and a very rare last-gasp win for us. It's a sweet thing, sweet thing.

[Toronto Villa]

that's a good point Dan. That despite the early setback we were able to get back into the game and completely dominate it. That for me is a big change in the mentality of the club. Something Houllier suggested was lacking when he joined. This will give all the players and staff, as well as us, a massive boost for the run in.

Just realised that blackpool have still loaned out Marlon Harewood (there 3rd top goal scorer)

[Chipsticks]

We're 9th; great performance, and gabbys first goal (I believe) this year.

Next round's on me lads

scored at Blackpool

"Gabby Agbonlahor hasn't scored a home goal for over a year" was the fact, as I've just discovered.

Close enough

[The Left Side]

Thank Paul for that, well played Villa

[Nev]

The change to playing players in their correct position has helped and the team look more comfortable.

The position of the manager is up for discussion without doubt, but lets enjoy a happy Saturday night, they've been as rare as rocking horse shit lately.

[D.boy]

That is a massive 3 points. Played some good stuff and didn't give up til the final whistle. A well deserved win.
Well done all.

[The Situation]

My reaction when I saw Gabby had scored in the last minute...



I'm thrilled to bits. We win again, Bent scores again, Gabby pops up in the last minute and scores again and from what I've heard we battered them in the 2nd half so it's go to see we've finally been rewarded for boning a team.

Lets see if we can catch Bolton now!

[Shrek]

Is bent now the top goal scorer over the last 3 seasons including this season?

No Rooney has scored 10 in 13 games since January!

"Situation" You need to dodge a few pies mate.
