Magnificent Aston Villa v West Ham Pre-Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Win please Villa.

[pooligan]

Always worry when we play a Fat Sam team as they usually are pretty good at set pieces. 2-1 to us just.

[spartacuss]

Massive game this in more ways than one.

Losers get to keep Cameron.

One wishes!  I just wonder if the pink blancmange-face word removed and his fellow Eton tosspots were to turn up and to finally decide which jolly-old team they 'support' in claret and blue they would get the welcome they surely deserve. As a beneficiary, for my first few decades, of post-war Labour public services and one-nation Toryism (even Churchill believed that the NHS was sacrosanct!) and as someone whose Villa origins go back to my birth in an Upper Thomas Street, Aston slum, the thought of these toff 'fans' nauseates me.

Getting excited early now, come on the Villans!

2-0 Grealish, Gabby

West Ham on course to get into the Europa League, as long as they don't rack up too many yellow cards. If that's not an excuse to give the ball to Jack and tell him to run at them, then I don't know what is.

Fair Play Linky

Nice one spartacuss!
My cousin used to live in Upper Thomas Street!
I always thought it was a bit posh!
(probably based on the outside lavvy being next to the house whereas ours was a 10 yard sprint, through a gate and another 10 yard sprint away!)

I reckon Big Dave's Villa will have the edge over Squire Cameron's WHam!

I always thought that about Nolan so I decided to be a sad git and see just how often he does score against us. He's scored in 3 of his last 14 games against us going back to 2005, two of them were 2 goal games though. I got bored so he may smacked a load in before that! Funny how most of us would have Nolan as scoring against us on a regular basis when in reality, he doesn't.

He's scored more than that surely? He got 2 in the 6-0 Newcastle win didn't he, the winner on the opening day in 2012-13 and poached two at VP last season.

He's scored seven in total.

This really is a MUST win game.

[KRS]

No it's not.

[PeterWithesShin]

QPR and Burnley have must win games. We don't.
