I despise Villa and their thick brummie fanbase,
seeing Paqueta absolutely cսnt them off in his celebration cracked me up 

[Massive Attack]

What Wilson (like Antonio) does is he forces the issue up front, rather than sit tiptoeing around the Box goalhanging hoping for a chance to land at your feet. Can't do that in this League, you've got to always be bang at it.

I suppose the difference between fullkrug and Wilson is that Wilson can make his own goals. He’s not reliant on perfect service. Fullkrug needs to move around more. I’d be interested to see both of them play together though. 
 

[bell]

Did we play a proper back four and keep a clean sheet? Probably a coincidence. 

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

Great performance from everyone. Hopefully we have seen the last of Potter’s dogshit wingback system. Made a massive difference having an extra midfielder and more width, with our best player in his best position.

Also what an impact Summerville made. Thank fuck he is back, should make the loss of Kudus less painful.

The origin of life.
Karma.
Reincarnation.
Human nature.
West Ham.

Which one is the biggest mystery?

[southbankbornnbred]

Wilson might be a cսnt. But he’s our cսnt now. And he’s hungry and direct in a good way. How many shots did he have compared with Fullkrug?

[Fauxstralian]

As Alex Ferguson said …. Football? Bloody hell

Astounding, unexpected, brilliant result
Well done to everyone there. Safe journey home

[El Scorchio]

That’s a great result. Finished strong. Very pleased with Fernandes. He and Paqueta look like they could form a strong relationship and I assume the badge kissing means he’s staying. He looked up for it today. 

Don’t want to say that adding some physicality and legs revolutionised us but we looked a lot better for it. Jimmy was great when he came on too. 

Even cսnt Wilson scored. Still a cսnt for getting in Bowen’s way at the end. 

[claypole]

I think if there is any chance of getting rid of Fullkrug and bringing someone else in, it's got to be taken

[southbankbornnbred]

I didn’t even mind Wilson ruining Jarrod’s greatest goal ever.

He screwed it up, sure. But he’s a striker and he’s obviously still hungry for goals. Don’t blame him for wanting to put his laces through it when Jarrod took the ball across him.

There hasn’t been enough “shoot first, ask questions later” at this club for my liking!

Mavvers was great. I reckon he went to goals holiday camp during the summer.
 

[Dick Shaftsbury]

What a day! What a fucking day!

Fernandes class!
Summerville back!
Wilson a million times better than BFG!
Paqueta kissing the badge!

Well done Cock Piss for changing the formation!

[Massive Attack]

Good case for Wilson to start next match.

 

 

And an even stronger case for Fullkrug to be sold ASAP for someone younger and better.

[Pub Bigot]

Dinos is our best centre half, no doubt in my mind. He’s earned a starting place. 

[claypole]

Fair play to Potter and the team it's been a turgid 6 months but hopefully we can build on this

[Massive Attack]

Both Centre backs in a flat back 4 looked good together today. I never want to see that cunting 3 at the back again! (Or not for a long time).

[Barty888]

excellent result

Fernandes class

Diouf with a sublime cross in the assist

Bowen would have scored the goal of the fkn season but Wilson fucked it up

Summerville changed the game

Great day

[wils]

Summerville has changed the game with his pace.


 

 

 

Everything we had been lacking. If he stays fit I will get quite optimistic about this season. I really like him.

[threesixty]

Great game lads!
can’t fault anyone considering the pressure they’re all under as well!
credit where credits due, Potter finally made the obvious choice in formation that gives us balance and makes our players shine.
also did it convincingly away from home which is really important.

we moan because we know this is in us! Anything less is taking the piss. We don’t want the squad we have, our PL status and our entertainment factor get squandered away.. we are betting than what we’ve seen over the last 8 months. 

 

[southbankbornnbred]

Lessons of that game.

1. Pace.
2. Back four.
3. Legs in midfield.
4. More movement upfront (Wilson is our best striker - which is a worry because of his injury record)

All the things many fans have called for for months. Finally, Partridge delivers it after 20+ games.Backs against the wall for long periods. But a good win, that. Can go into the break with some positivity. Need to add a signing or two tomorrow. More pace - especially upfront.

PS - Mav had his best game in a West Ham shirt.

[only1billybonds]

Never been happier to be wrong. Fully expected us to get overrun but we were unbelievably solid. All credit to Potter as well, got the subs dead right and the defence looked far more assured.

[Mad Dog]

Fuck me sideways 

[ragingbull]

Good case for Wilson to start next match.
