West Ham Utd 0-0 Aston Villa (02/11/13)
Can't see one at the moment, so thought I'd start one
First game of the season for me and looking forward to it
Have a feeling that we will win 2 - 1
Would like to see:
Jussi
Rat - Reid - Tomkins - Demel
Noble - Diame
Downing - Morrison - Jarvis
Cole
However likely to see Nolan start in place of probably Jarvis, with Diame moving out wide.
Reckon Cole will grab a goal as well

Re: West Ham vs Aston Villa - Match Thread
It's a 'sell out'.
I'm going with a bloke dressed in orange with bells, a neurosurgeon, Sheikh Yamoney, Prince William and David Cameron thanks to Oxfam.
Not sure who to support - does Dwight York still play for Villa?

Re: West Ham vs Aston Villa - Match Thread
Agree with this 100%, would be very interesting to see CC with the service that Downing, Jarvis & Morrison can provide. Really think Morrison adds another dimension to the attack that Nolan doesn't.Happyhammer93 wrote: Would like to see:

Re: West Ham vs Aston Villa - Match Thread
In terms of stating the obvious, three points would be most welcome.
We now have seven games in the next six weeks that include five relegation contenders. We really must do quite a bit better than we have been doing so far in terms of points if we are aiming for midtable again.
Every place lost takes £1 million out of the kitty.
Intrigued to see whether Sam goes with 4-5-1 as indicated by the OP, or sticks with 4-6-0.
We're playing Villa - relegation candidates - at home.
FWIW, they have picked up 7 points from 4 away games this season. That's a good record.

Re: West Ham vs Aston Villa - Match Thread
I want to smash this lot. I think Villa are a terrible team. Take Benteke out of it, and they are as poor a side as you'll see.
3-1 win. With Nolan back to scoring ways, along with Downing who is sure to get some stick.

Re: West Ham Utd vs Aston Villa: match thread
if anyone needs a ticket for this PM me, selling for £45 Alpari Lower quite central.
Re: West Ham vs Aston Villa - Match Thread
Vila were a terrible team, they are most certainly not that bad now. This is a huge game for us, we need to stop the rot at home, three defeats in the league on the spin is not good enough. And if we win it sits us nicely mid table.westham,eggyandchips wrote:I want to smash this lot. I think Villa are a terrible team. Take Benteke out of it, and they are as poor a side as you'll see.

Re: West Ham vs Aston Villa - Match Thread
Problem is, you can't take Benteke out. He can win a game by himself in a few seconds. Because of that, they're dangerous however the rest of the team playwestham,eggyandchips wrote:I think Villa are a terrible team. Take Benteke out of it, and they are as poor a side as you'll see.

Re: West Ham Utd vs Aston Villa: match thread
Looks like it'll be 4-6-0 again, with Carlton getting a run-out second half if we come under pressure/are losing. Sam could be fibbing, of course.Big Sam in today's presser wrote:Is Carlton Cole in contention for a Premier League start this weekend?
SA: "He's not quite ready for a Premier League start. He played on Tuesday night and that's the equivalent of game three of his pre-season, game three of pre-season for us was Boreham Wood not Burnley away."

Re: West Ham Utd vs Aston Villa: match thread
First home game of the season for me, will be nursing an almighty hangover, a few cans on the train up should settle the stomach. 1-0 with a Carlton 40 yard screamer on the 89th minute.
Re: West Ham Utd vs Aston Villa: match thread
sam says "Matt Taylor is definitely out, James Tomkins I think will be ok and the rest of the injured players will not figure in Saturday's squad against Villa. It leaves us with quite a big problem in terms of numbers. We're very short of first team squad players available for Saturday so it's about getting on with the job and using the players we've got available and making sure they try and bring us the three points at home that we're looking for. We've been hugely disappointed with our points total, not our performances, and that must be the key factor in what we want to achieve on Saturday. When we've come off the field we must have accumulated more points to our total because continuing to lose at home is now not acceptable, well it's never acceptable and we must stop it on Saturday"
dont see why taylor out leaves us short as collison is back

I hope Diame starts on the bench for this one after his lazy performance against Burnley.
