West Ham vs Aston Villa pre match thread

[Brend'Watkins]

And they can't even say bubbles properly, they say 'Babbles'.

They can't even blow the babbles either, they have a machine to do it.  They should be given a bowl of water, a bottle of fairy liquid and an old wire coat hanger and live up to the song the wankers.

[Jon Crofts]

Moving on, is there a more embarrassing club anthem than West Ham's 'Blowing Bubbles'?

Not embarrassing but Everton's Dixon of Dock Green and Grand Old Team shite is a right old dirge.

I agree but it’s Z Cars.

It's Z Cars but it's Johnny Todd to give it it's correct name I believe.

Judging from the highlights of today's game, Antonio is back in the groove and may have recovered his mojo.

Stat. And there for Factual.
Antonio in 8 games facing Villa never lost. However, he has only scored once.

Good stat.

He's gonna score, isn't he? As sure as eggs is eggs. Nailed on.

According to their fans, they're looking fatigued and their vulnerable on corners. Things will be looking good if we're at least level at half-time.

Cometh the hour, cometh the sendo!

To be fair, that miserable run of form he describes is pretty awful, and no doubt what we'd be going through if Gerrard was still here. Their WaferConference wins has kept them going, I guess.

I'd be disappointed if we don't get at least a point from this.

[Smirker]

We're going to FTF.

Looking forward to it and another step toward Europe.

I'm not saying we'll make Europe but we'll win here.

[LeeB]

About time we won in their misapropriated excuse for a football stadium, 2-0 us.

The talk is Ings is going to be appearing in the line up having scored in last home game and with Antonio a slight injury doubt to start.
Suppose it could be Ings with the consolation goal in Villa victory!
I wonder if he would celebrate if he did score

Our commander leads our troops into battle in harsh winter-conditions:

He looks fooking angry, like cmon then you west ham fackers, lets facking go like.

Who comes in for Kamara then if DroptheDeadDoncker is hand-crocked tomorrow? My Morgan, brave as Samson, wherefore art thou?

Who comes in for Kamara then if DroptheDeadDoncker is hand-crocked tomorrow? My Morgan, brave as Samson, wherefore art thou?

One of the two keepers from the bench I imagine.

The celeb guest on the BBC prediction page this week is a guitarist from the Stereophonics, who is quoted as saying ‘I’m a blues fan but I like to see Villa doing well for the city.’ There is NO WAY those are the words of a genuine Small Heath supporter.

[Deano's Mullet]

Is he a true Brummie? I thought they were all Welsh.
