West Ham vs Aston Villa pre match thread

Musical chairs to.continue between Digne and Moreno in the LB spot? Hopefully Dendoncker is back so we get a good look at him as Kamara's replacement.

He seems to like to play Digne in away games and Moreno in home games.

He pwn'd Brentford when we hammered them and no one has got the better of them since. The Stevenage thing was unfortunate but he deserves another shot at the big time.

He was also excellent in Emerys first game against Man Utd. He’s no Kamara, but that doesn’t mean he’s shit.

He's pretty cumbersome and never going to be the most mobile, but he's strong and can pass the ball quite well.

West Ham have been largely shite this season including when they best us 1-0 under Steven G. I have no love for them and wouldn’t mind if they went down, i cant stand Brady, who i met once and she seemed genuinely vile in real life, but i do feel a bit for Moyes, who is a very good manager imo.

Saying all that, i think we’ll win 2-1 (Watkins and Beundia) and that will be that Moyes.

The same Davis Moyes who thought he was too good for us on several occasions? If beating West Ham London means he loses his job I won't be crying... well maybe with laughter. I just hope the Spammers can wait just one more league game. Talk of Mark Noble taking over until the end of the season. West Ham are dreaming if they think Carrick would leave Boro for them.

I dont think Moyes supposedly turning us down twice when we were a basket case of a club and him being a decent manager are mutually exclusive. 

Not sure we were 'a basket case' on every occasion we approached him.
Decent manager? I've never rated him and was delighted when he never joined us in the Championship. One good season in the last 10 years. If that's what you call decent you're in for a big, pleasant surprise..

The official is Chris Kavanagh.
He awarded a penalty that Danny Ings scored for us in our 2-1 win away at Brighton, the only match he's officiated for us this season.
So positive signs all there its just Ings is now at West Ham so not sure what we can read into that as a total plus but having won and away from home and a penalty then shows chances to happen again perhaps?

Nothing. And no.

We can all see or look for signs. Sports superstitions are a thing.
I'm sure plenty have a ritual or see or do things which they believe will influence the result.

I don't recall a player that runs so upright as him, it's like he has a broom strapped to his back, he's almost robotic. Really strange. He does read the game well and as you say, can pass a simple ball. He'll never be a box to box player but will hopefully stop us getting bullied in midfield.

First time he appeared for us I said he ran like he had a broomstick up his arse.

He's the anti John McGinn in that regard, who runs bent over like he's carrying two heavy bags of shopping.

He is good in the air though so if you could work with him to attack the box as crosses are coming in I think he could add a few more goals to his game.

It's away from home, so of course we'll win.

These fuckers have already been pre-funeralled, they're just too thick to realise.

Too busy blowing bubbles, running their market stalls, wearing flat caps and bad jewellery, going 'ap west', and struggling with poor sight after a couple of seasons straining to see the pitch from their seat at that abysmal shit hole they play in.

It’s never going to stop. It’s not a trickle of nonsensical made up diarrhea. It’s a full on waterfall.

It's  not nonsensical though is it.
As it makes sense wheres as nonsense is literally no sense. So as it can conceivably happen one can sense it or not.
