Aston Villa vs West Ham Boxing Day Pre-Match Thread

[Holte L2]

As per the first post...repeat of Boxing Day 1991 please

I wish we had Yorke and Daley in this team too.

If we can start on the front foot and not kill ourselves with stupid defending we will be OK.  Ayew and a late Traore goal for 2 1. Carroll for them.

44 mins in for the 1991 West Ham Boxing Day game

might be time to get Grealish back involved, he was our best player against these last season.

expect though that the side that finished against Newcastle, will start this one.

As someone else said, if we can not fuck things up with a simple give away goal early then I fancy us picking up one of those mythical 3 point things.

[Jon Crofts]

Straightforward no nonsense 2-0 home win.  Haha who am I kidding.

[Villa Lew]

2 - 1  Villa, Ayew and Traore for us, Geoff Hurst for them.

[Ron Manager]

2 - 1  Villa, Ayew and Traore for us, Geoff Hurst for them.

Or Harry Rednapp.

2 - 1  Villa, Ayew and Traore for us, Geoff Hurst for them.

Thats just fantasy - WHam will probably mark Ayew out of the game and will kick Traore off the pitch and get a man sent off for their trouble.

So I'm going with 2 -1 Veretout and Bacuna for us, (and still) Geoff Hurst for them.

[Karl Bridges]

Lanzini is fit again. So will probably play.

[Des Little]

Lanzini is fit again. So will probably play.

I thought Lanzini was a girl's drink

[cheltenhamlion]

I am not going so obviously we will win. Let's call it 2-1.

[manic-road]

Lose 1-2 Ayew to score again.

[devilla]

2 -1 to us and a chicken balti pie before kick off. The pie's for me not the team.

Ayew and Gestede for us. Who cares for them.

[The Man With A Stick]

3-1 Villa and we'll go the rest of the season unbeaten.
