West Ham United v Aston Villa Pre Match Thread.

[kippaxvilla2]

Sunday 26th July.  Kick off is 4pm.  The game is live on BT Sport. 

I can’t add a poll.

It’s 10.56am on Thursday over three days before this game starts.  And I’m already feeling physically sick.  I’m going for 1-1.  But enough to survive.

A big day. I’m going to drink beer and listen in the radio. Missus is going out. Think a nervy 0-1 and safety

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Feeling sick already too.

Oddly, I'm more concerned about Bournemouth than Watford. I feel they will have an impact on events somehow during the course of the afternoon regarding the goal difference. Just hope we get the result to put them out of the picture altogether and to be safe.

Nervy 1-1 draw. Keinan to break his duck.

Not sure if I will watch this and may escape to the golf course where no doubt the mere thought of this will ruin my game. I’m sure I lost weight vs Arsenal - nothing that a post match pie didn’t fix mind you.

I think we will do it. I don’t know if we will win but we will just about do enough to stay up. But fuck it I’ll say 2-0 Villa. Jack and Doug.

[OzVilla]

Bricking it already.

Can't wait, them 1 Us 3

I'm hoping that they have a sense of relief that they are already safe and just feel like they are on holiday and not give a shit.

The fact this is behind closed doors is a good thing, it means that there are no nerves from the terraces being passed on to the players. We're doing ok at the moment so let's hope that carries on. Being 4-0 up at half time would be good, it would Protect the NHS with less heart attacks to deal with.

I was daydreaming ideal outcomes a few weeks back, when we we're in much worse position, an I saw an early goal from a set piece and then Kienan running through a scoring with a few minutes to go.

I realise the latter part is stretching reality at present, but it would be a bloody good time to get his first top flight goal so I'm sticking with that.

I also think last nights result will help massively, what ever form they're in they've now reached their goal which looked doubt not so long back, so however professional and motivated they are there's not going to be the same edge to them mentally, they're no longer fighting for survival.

Nervy draw - hopefully that is enough. We'll get tested in the air - hopefully enough experience of last years final will give us enough to perform and not freeze.

[andyh]

Effectively our 3rd play off final in 3 years.
This one feels much, much more nerve wracking though.

I suppose it’s because we have so much to lose rather so much to gain.

I’m going for a very, very nervy 2-1 win for us with Samatta on the scoresheet.

[VinnieChase84]

We will win 2-1. Watford will lose and Bournemouth will win

[in exile]

1-1

[Holy Trinity]

I also feel sick. Trez and samatta 2-1 win after being 1-0 down

[tim]

0-0 I reckon, and i also reckon it'll be a bit shit.

[Hookeysmith]

Porno Dwarf, Dildo brothers and the whore will want to send us down.
Hopefully their players will be thinking of their holidays and job done

Gutted that but for a couple of minutes at Everton we would be home and dry

I'm sure we can raise it one more time as it would be galling after 7 / 9 points to chuck it now
