Maybe provide a springboard for us to mount the great escape. Equally, it would be a massive blow to WH, Watford and Bournemouth. Massive game. We need to pull one out the bag! I wish we were still the team from the first half of the season. We were naive as hell, but we could give anybody a game and I was never worried about us scoring. With Davis and Samatta up front right now, I just can't see where our next goal is coming from. Our 2 goals since the restart have both been from set pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the players mindset is " this is a free hit " we will get well beaten. Tomorrow the kind of game this team need a packed stadium. That's a shame.

AvonVillain Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Not sure I'll ever forgive the Villa if they don't relegate a team as woeful as this West Ham. Absolutely positive they won't beat Norwich next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored from 1 (2 actually, the other was chalked off) corner, a breakaway goal and from their only real foray into the opposition box in the whole game. Rudiger played like a drunkard and was summarily dropped for the next 2 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mental opening 10 minutes against Bournemouth. 2-1 at home to Burnley and bottled it. No ambition to have a go at West Ham at home. Arsenal. Been loads. ( VAR did **** us over at Palace and the joke of an offside that would of put us 2 up at old Trafford ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, though they have a few other players with the tools to hurt us. But that aside, we're too nice, I don't think we've anyone in the squad who's got that bit of nastiness in them.

TRO Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 4 hours ago, Only2McInallys said: We are paying for the atrocious transfers that we made in our first season in the championship.We spent a huge amount of our parachute payments on total dross McCormack, Kodja,Hogan,Tsibola etc .I think about 50 million was wasted. Bruce then had to recruit players for low or minimal transfer fees who were mostly coming to the end of their careers Whelan Jedinak etc or fill the squad out with loan players Axel,Abraham . That effectively left us with no stable collective core we could add to when we got promoted.We had to create a brand new team and as we see some of the recruitment has been poor. Has a premier league club ever signed so many players at one time before and been successful?I can’t think of any. Our shocking record of recruitment has been endemic for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said before the Liverpool game, a point in either game would be huge and the way results played out just emphasizes that now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's only right that we offer to cater food for ALL man united players just before the match, we have very skilled caterers and nothing will go wrong for them.....we promise Can somebody order some extra portaloos for tomorrow please 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 That was a good result for us tonight. Whether it makes West Ham catchable for us or not, will be dependent on their/our remaining results, but they will be less likely to be on the beach when they face Watford and that might just help us chase them down. Who knows, if we will get the points to make a fight of it? I'm sure most West Ham fans thought they'd win tonight, but results cannot always be assumed with too much confidence. There may be more shocks to come. Who knows we might yet emulate WBAs "great escape". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like i dont need to pay attention to the season because each of your posts just narrates what is going on. You are Morgan Freeman. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
