   ----------------------------------------------------------

Running a bit late on this one, but I'll keep it brief.  I've a sneaky feeling we beat Villa.  Not overly impressed by them man for man, they've had an away trip in Europe, and it's a lot of travelling.  Plus with the Bonds memorial pagentry, the whole ground should be up for giving someone a kicking.

Predicted Team
Reckon Nuno reverts to a 4 for this game.  

Areola
Wan Bissaka   Mavropanos   Todibo    Diouf

Magassa Potts

Bowen   Paqueta  Fernandes

Wilson

Subs: Hermansen, Kilman, KWP, Igor, Rodriguez, Irving, Summerville, Fullkrug, Earthy

Not sure what's happened to Luis after a nice cameo vs Liverpool   

Predicted Result: Home Win.  West Ham 3 - 1 Aston Villa (Wilson, Bowen, Fernandes)


COYFI!

[Massive Attack]

It'll be the spirit of Billy that drives us to get a result and inspire them fans to get behind the Team. I'm feeling a bit more confident now about the game. Certainly don't want a repeat of the last time we played there on the day of his death. Do it for Bonzo.

[honky cat]

no doubt sir trevor will carry a wreath out, would be nice to see alvin alongside him rather than the fantasy island clown, or brady

For all thats wrong with the club, the owners usually get this sort of stuff right. The opening of the stand was top notch.
i reckon it will be a send off to be proud of.

[BoleynGone]

Fraser,
well NO, I wouldn't play Paqueta but Nuno will.
I actually think we would be better without him

There's going to be a big tifo apparently

I’ve managed to dig out my 1975 FA cup final replica shirt, I’ll squeeze into it for Billy. I hope the club do him proud tomorrow

[mallard]

Unfortunately, home advantage counts for nothing at The Bowl

[fraser]

I think it will be a close match and we can get something from it.. They've won a fucking lot of football matches lately but runs are there to be ended. 

[fraser]

.
Reluctantly play Paqueta 


 

So are you a two faced cսnt now, because you said anyone that mourns Billy and wants Paqueta in the team is a two faced cսnt... 

[nychammer]

we've picked up points away against opposition I thought for sure would beat us so a win at home against a side that have played midweek would not be totally unsurprising IF we approach it right and don't go all negative. They are never the less a very decent side so optimism remains guarded and expectations grounded.

COYFI!

Could definitely do with all through points but I think we’ll end up with one. 1-1

[southbankbornnbred]

It will most likely get decided in central midfield. When sides match Villa's intensity in that area, they can neutralise them. It's hard, though, because they have quality in there: Onana, Tielemans, Kamara, McGinn etc. So Magassa, Potts, Fernandes etc will need to be switched on. No passengers.

If we're switched on and physical, then we have a decent chance - even though Villa are flying in the league. I want to see Magassa lay one on McGinn or Tielemans in the first five minutes. Stop those busy feckers buzzing around. If we let Onana bully our midfield, it won't be a match.

[Tomshardware]

Can see us winning this for some reason.

[Sweep]

Just who will the Tinkerman start with this week? Hard to speculate!


 

Nuno roulette! Spin the wheel!!!

[GreenStreetPlayer]

[boleyn8420]

I just hope the negative cսnt doesn't start without a striker and actually plays the MOTM against Man U, Magassa, from the start and doesn't throw away points, yet again, by needlessly subbing attacking players for defenders if we are a goal up. 

[ragingbull]

Hoping for a draw.

[BoleynGone]

Think Summerville will start as we need him and Bowen to attack their full backs and keep them back,Cash has scored quite a few goals this season after scoring zilch for years. Reluctantly play Paqueta as a sort of 9 with maybe dropping deep and allowing Fernandes to break through.

Stubbo, that bench is awfully negative but Nuno's seems to like it , We need the youngsters who have consistently played better than some of those there.
Herrick.Myers,Scarles,KWP,Irving,Soucek,Earthy,Adiele,Marshall.

Igor,Rodriguez,Fulkrug off in Jan thus we don't want them getting injured and not be able to sell.

[John Drake]

Based on past performance, Nuno will be looking to double check that selecting Guido Rodriguez last week was a mistake by repeating it again. 

[Iron Duke]

I’m going to this one, and we’re going to win.

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

 I hate Aston fookin Villa...always have done.. ...even more than Brum , and by rights it  should be the other way round.
 I have begrudging respect for Brum, but these mugs have always been  the spurs of the midlands, and they still bitter over that league cup Q/F .
Its like a spine of Cunts 
spurs 
Villa
Newcastle 
 

[Sweep]

The last time we failed to score against this lot at our place was when Sakho and Valencia were playing up front and Villa bored us into a 0-0.

Both sides to score is just as common as Brighton getting a last minute goal against us,

Expecting a score draw on the assumption we don't have key players missing.

[twoleftfeet]

I will be there so we won’t lose. 

Let’s hope there’s no fog.

We never get fog down the Lane, come on you lilywhites

[twoleftfeet]

I will be there so we won’t lose. 

This is a thread about a West Ham game, not a Tottenham game.

Apologies I thought it was the Spurs forum.

[Tomsdad]

A pound to anyone who can guess the line-up.

We have progressed, but Villa are a handy little outfit, 0-1 sorry
