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

[olaftab]

Bent doesnt need a partner in order to be successful but a motivated Agbonlahor will create havoc that he can exploit.

I think he does (Bent partner). Yesterday Heskey took lot of attention that left him to play like he did. His best game for us and  when Gabby came on  and played in the right place for a change Gabby was able to profit from WH being over attentive to Darren.

Went to West Ham yesterday. Missed the  their goal as we had to go around about 3 housing estates to get to away end.

I thought we were very good. Petrov was class and  completely over powered their  midfield. Ash playing wide was brilliant especially when he stayed on his feet. Any result other than a win for us would have been a complete injustice. We deserved this injury time winner because players had belief that we  could win it and kept attacking with purpose and vigour.

It's such a welcome change to see us up in the top half of the table, now let's push on Villa

Petrov was class and  completely over powered their  midfield.

Spot on, he does so much you dont pick up on the tele, yesterday being a prime example
Our best games / results this season have been with Stan on board
Class is permanent

I'd just like to say that Gabby's goal was one of the most mentally celebrated goals in quite some time.

I'd like to say "sorry" to those strangers who I kissed and maybe hugged too hard!! Great times....

Oh shit was that you? I thought it was  the attractive girl standing next to me in seat 165 row S!

Was she standing on the seat? Disgraceful!

[olaftab]

Yes utter disgrace!

As Fletch suggests, I have been a long time advocate of Bent. Had he known me when I was actually young, he would have known of my admiration for him even before we did a thunp the Bent drum, double act.

Back off! I saw him first.

Remember that woman on TV who said we should have signed Kenny Miller on loan?

When my younger son had the job of producing a football series following a youth team naturally the first place he went was VP.

HDE made such demands to be the star of the show the programme was made about the Ipswich youth team.

I asked my son, as you do, is there anybody there who is any good who Villa can nick.   His reply was that there was a kid called Bent who was good and in fact with whom he had become quite good friends and remains so, I believe, to the present time.

Right name.  Wrong Bent.

Back off! I saw him first.

I thought Carlton Cole was your man? You're such a tart, Mazrim.

[LeeB]

Back off! I saw him first.

I thought Carlton Cole was your man? You're such a tart, Mazrim.

I thought it was that Nigerian waif on loan at Leicester?

[Mazrim]

Back off! I saw him first.

I thought Carlton Cole was your man? You're such a tart, Mazrim.

O.K that's the second time you've mentioned him in relation to me. Why?

[LeeB]

O.K that's the second time you've mentioned him in relation to me. Why?

If anyone needs to cough up to championing Carlton Cole it's me.

[Mazrim]

I thought he'd be a predictable MON signing and he's not the worst player in the world, but that's about it.
