West Ham vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

This has embarrassing televised defeat written all over it

I haven't forgiven Marlon Harewood for his hat-trick against us a few years back!  With the board giving up and the players knowing that they don't have to try too hard because there's no one coming in to replace them, I hope they don't give up too.  West Ham have one or two injuries too but I see a 2-0 home win here.

You're right there Ads...I didn't think that one through !....see I am qualified to be on the board.

Fraid so, BT Sports. Hopefully the Kit Stealers will see this as an opportunity to rest players and make the result less embarrassing for us, a la Man City.

We've just signed up to BT and so far have only watched a comprehensive defeat for Worcester Warriors. I am undecided whether or not to watch this as I'm so fucked off with the whole thing. I'm not kidding, this official admission of defeat has ruined my entire day, and I don't think I can be arsed to have two days in a row where I'm bothered about it so much.

Lerner's mother'maiden name was WOLKOFF.
That's exactly what he's done to the Villa
He's walked off with all our hopes, dreams and pride and left us high and dry. Wnker!

[ROBBO]

I won't be getting up in the middle of the night anymore, I think Lerner has drained the last bit of enthusiasm out of us. He is without doubt the most incapable of owners we could have had. We laughed our heads off at the filth when they had the porn kings running them, well sometimes it pays to keep your mouth shut.

5-0. The bad vibes are back. 9 more months of depression

[Des Little]

Another Harewood hat trick

[Steve67]

All the talk now will be about Garde quitting. I think he needs to get Eric Black to do the interviews.

[LukeJames]

An early goal for them and a crumbling by us, 4-0.

[Oscar Arce]

An absolute fucking hammering. Well done Lerner.

[David_Nab]

I dont see anyway we win bar them just not turning up.Likely to have to start either Lydon or Bacuna in midfield and Gabby upfront ..really scraping the barrel

[Mossie Hennebry]

I'd go with:

Bunn

Richards Okore Lescott Cissokho

Gana

Gil Veretout Sinclair

Ayew

Agbonlahor

Subs: Guzan, Bacuna, Clark, Grealish, Lyden, Hepburn-Murphy, N'Zogbia

Richards has to play RB. If I see anyone else back there, I'll shoot someone.

[ozzjim]

Bunn, Richards, Okore, Lescott, Cissokho, Gana, Lyden, Veretout, Gil, Ayew, Gabby (Fucking Gabby because there is no one else!)
