Aston Villa v West Ham United Post-Match Thread

Fuck me I loved that win, even if I did have to change my trousers on the way home, and it wasn't from the rain!

Pissed yourself again?

Feck off!

It was a sex wee when the final whistle went and and an 'accident' from nerves during injury time. Pissed myself indeed. Pfffft.

Fans eye view
I was at the other end of it and from my seat right in the centre in Witton End Upper I jumped as soon as the ball cleared the wall and almost followed it in! I had noticed Jussi position and thought that he was a bit too far over to his right and no doubt Zog spotted that. Fantastic!

Exactly the same here from an identical position. As soon as it cleared the wall I shouted "it's in" as Jussi was never getting over there. It wasn't even in the corner and he was still a yard or two away from it.

I was in the Lower North so as soon as it cleared the wall I couldn't see smeg all of the ball or their keeper. I had to rely on the Holte to know it was in.

Nice work by the two in the wall that created the gap.

A fantastic albeit nervy win. 3 more and 3 or 4 draws could well do it. It's time to believe!

From now on, we need to stop giving our nearest rivals 3 points from us. Stop that and we should survive. Beat them and we definitely will.

Tonight will be the first Match of the Day I will have watched since beating Liverpool. Looking forward to it!

Jesus that club rules my life.

Innit. The times I've wished I didn't care!

[olaftab]

And we start with Manu Everton

Well after the loss of both my parents over Christmas, I now have a tiny tear in my eye and a small smile to match.

Thankyou Aston Villa

Bloody hell, that's tough. My deepest sympathies for you,

Same here.

And here.  Thoughts are with you Tuscans.  Glad today gave you something to be cheerful about.

I too just haven't been able to face watching Match of the Day the last few weeks. Will definitely be watching tonight though!!

Has anyone tried not caring. It lasts about 40 seconds before I start thinking about the bloody Villa again. It is like a sad addiction that has very few highs, and a lot of lows!

By the way MotD2 started on BBC2 at 10.

It's impossible, I tried to reconcile my fact to us being relegated and giving up but it doesn't work.

Funny old game. Thought we were far worse than at everton and yet 3 points in the bag. The main thing is we've got the "not holding onto a lead" hex off our backs. Not to mention the "not winning a game" hex, only the "not keeping a clean sheet" one to go!. I think (well i'm hoping), that may just be where our season not exactly turns around but veers away from the iceberg. Its amazing what a win will do however unimpressive the performance was. As others have mentioned, could have been a whole different story if Bent wasn't goal hanging at the wrong end. Mystifying why he chose Bowery to start but for once Lambchop's oddball team selections came off, sort of.
