briny_ear Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 IT would be remarkable if one match in January made the difference between top 4 & top 6. This is however an excellent chance to get above the £250m draw specialists so I hope we don't blow it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantram Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 This must surely be a convincing win against a poor and injury-ravaged Wet Spam 3-0 to the Villa The only question for MON is whether he should rest a couple of players before the Blackburn game in mid week. Perhaps another run-out for NRC and Sidders or Delph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is however an excellent chance to get above the £250m draw specialists so I hope we don't blow it Yes I know what you mean but you drop points in a game like this and then we RELY on games like Arsenal/Chelsea/United to make up those points we dropped. Also if it was just one other team challenging, but there's 3 other teams challenging so everytime there is an opportunity we need to take advantage. I for one don't want to go into Arsenal at home (our next league game) still 2/3 points behind Spurs/Citeh and just a couple points in front of Arsenal and needing a win to try and keep up. It don't matter anyway, we'll win. Can feel it. 3-0. Heskey, Dunne, Milner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoD Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Feeling a big win here, especially after the disappointing result against them earlier this season. Going for 3-0 Downing Milner Warnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Collins out, young back in hopefully. I hope you mean "Young in at the expense of Collins" or something that sounds a bit more RESPECTFUL Collins was brilliant before he got injured, brilliant.

Stockport_Villain Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'm going for a 3-1 win. The results have gone our way so far this wekend, here's hoping we can take advantage of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David-Copenhagen Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Now is the time to show that a cup run can have a positive impact on the league form. Win today and we could build real momentum to the Arsenal game. As excited as I am about the carling cup - and it is really really exciting - the league form is the be all end all. Getting 4'th is like wining the league - because we are never going to do that before qualifying for the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjshare Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 cant see west ham having the quality in midfield to stifle milner today, in fact - this is the sort of game where milner can get himself in all of the headlines - run the game and score a goal or two. we are at home against poor opposition - tricky game or not, anything short of a good win will be considered an underacheivement. west ham dont have a single striker to pick from so we really should be playing for goal difference here, not just three points.

Jez Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Think we'll find this tough, draw or loss. Depressing i know but games we should win never seem to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanky Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 When our closest rivals drop points we never take advantage. We did it the other week, can't remember who it was against though. I'll go 3-0 Agbonlahor, Heskey, A. Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villadude Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 2-0 to us, not an easy game, but then what prem game is? Heskey to score in the first half, Ash to score early in the second, backs to the wall for the rest of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Argh, just want this one to start to be honest. For once, I'm going into a game pretty confident and excited to see us play (if we play our best team) especially on sky, alot of people think who haven't seen us in, in more recent weeks, still think we're really boring to watch. Love to see us be at our best today and Hammer someone. If not, ahh well, League Cup semi final too look forward too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Would love to see the two Delph's been given the last 30 minutes whatever the situation really too. I think both are good enough and deserve a decent amount of time to make an impact. Delfouneso has done nothing but score whenever he's had the opportunity, I reckon he deserves a call from the bench that is competitive and not just last 15 minutes when were comfortable in the lead. I mean look at the Everton game last year where he cut inside of his man and nearly grabbed the winner. He's ready for action, unleash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll win by a goal, but I'd love to see us stick 4 or 5 past them, especially as it's sky. It would definitely send a message out to everyone!!
