West Ham v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[levico]

A comfortable win for West Ham.

Nothing stands in the way of our record breaking manager.

Song when jumping in before West Ham equalised at Stoke. Cockneys getting away with quite a bit at the weekend.

[Risso]

0-0.  A point gained which will be greeted by Lambert claiming that we were excellent as usual.

[Holte Sweet]

It doesn't matter who we pick, who is fit, we will get beat.

Probably 2 or 3 nil.

In a perverse way I am hoping our run continues because the longer the run of straight defeats the more likely our halfwit of an owner will have to bow to the inevitable and sack Lamberk and Keane. Of course if they manage another win this side of Christmas if will be contract extensions all round.

Do I not like that.

What was that you were saying the other day about not being a supporter?

We will win a game one day, so why not Saturday? Gabby to shin one in, me to end up three rows in front of my seat and the world to be much better place come 5pm. keep the faith y'all

2-0 West Ham.

Our record against Big Sam in the premier league is P20 W5, D7, L8. The bloke knows how to play us down the years and I can't see us threatening them much.

I can't stand that Song but what a signing he has been for them.

If he went to West Ham, he'd have come to us. It's a shame. They showed a bit of ambition to get him. He's a big player. He was in a bit of a rut, but he's still a big player. He absolutely shits over anything we have in midfield. And that includes Delph.

Not really, Gold and Sullivan will be paying him bigger wages than we'd ever contemplate.

And given he's already played for Arsenal you'd imagine he'd rather play in London again given the opportunity.

I'd much rather have gone for Diame who was made available with Song coming in. We could do with that athletic sort in midfield now with Delph out for the forseeable future.

Funny game this one last season it very much would have been a mid-table clash with little to choose between the teams, but because of West Ham's form at home this season and how are struggling right now I can only really see a home win which is even more likely because of us missing Benteke.  This is one I really would have liked to have had at VP.

[ChicagoLion]

I can not see anything other than another defeat.

Another loss. I imagine Downing will score just to make it that little bit worse.

[McRusson]

Petrov made one of the best Villa debuts here, we miss him big style. Also remember a serious crushing incident when we played there midweek years ago, got very dicey. But to the game, I reckon a 3-1 reverse with Barbara Windsor notching the third while singing Maybe It's Because I'm A Landaner.

[Ian.]

Well they have gone from being very shit to finding some form with a very one dimensional manager who the fans wanted out.

You never know we might just make the same move ourselves in this one?


I wouldn't bet too much on it though.

Another loss. I imagine Downing will score just to make it that little bit worse.

Now this was a game where we could of done with Hutton to rattle Downing from the off. We could do with him hiding very early. On form he will cause damage but as we all know once he's bottled it he's out the game.
