***West Ham v Champions Official Match Thread***

[johnny crossan]

Home game against average opponents. After QPR we wouldn’t make this one difficult would we.

We’re assuming Liverpool get six points from their final two, a reasonable assumption but still an assumption.

Wish it wasn’t Villa with Gerrard and them not wanting Grealish to win it in front of their fans. But unfortunately it is and they’ll be above average for the day just because of that.

are we not at home i.e in front of our fans?

Yes. And if we don’t take it away early I could see us really panicking. Shit, even Fern was making dumb mistakes today trying to gift them a goal. We really don’t do pressure very well.

The dippers will win both games. It could be closer than they would like but they will prevail. Therefore we now have to beat Villa.

And if we don’t, then we will only have ourselves to blame

Yep, weirdly they’re bringing away fans as far as I’m aware.

Villa are fucking diabolical, Gerrard still out of his depth in the PL . Atmosphere will be incredible in the Etihad . Villa have fuck all to play for apart from the media building Slippy G up

……a penalty for the title, that’s what it boiled down to today, so a free shot at goal from 12 yards and couldn’t do it. There will be enormous pressure on us next week and I see it as being exactly the same as today, we will get run ragged on the break with our makeshift defence. Any other game against Villa would be a pushover but I guarantee this one won’t be. I’m worried.

stop panicking and making out to be something it isn't.
we can start the analysis after tuesday night . Until then, relax and have a beer.

Imho, it will be Leicester all over again.
Same as Rodgers, he will try to prove a point.

There is a massive disrespect for the experience and talent in the squad here.

Noble’s arse hole must be chapped from Pep’s rimming. Tosser.

It’s called sportsmanship to a fellow pro. Embarrassing you don’t see that Mase.

Who is retiring , today was last game in front of home crowd.

Sportsmanship it is indeed Hazy

The fantastic 1 club man Mark Noble mate. But try to not dwell on it. Some will be very very very very very upset. Fwends!

Shit performance today, Zinchenko and Fern the two standout worst performances but we didn't lose so will take that (although a loss or a draw are practically the same in grand scheme of things for us now).

Really nervous for Sunday given we are playing slippies Villa. I mean it couldn't be more written! Normal day we smash them every day of the week, fingers crossed for a normal day.

Saints will be no pushovers.

A loss and a draw are world's apart in meaningfulness. A draw keeps it in our own hands.

To much media intake is bad for your health chill out and get pissed on the fact we are about to be crowned champions yet again .

I am not worried about Villa, but our way of handling pressure this year.

We’re not away at Klanfield. It’s Villa at home if we spew it we need a kicking.

Tyrone Mings and Co have to keep us out I’m fucking quaking

[Outcast]

Hopefully everyone is calmed down now.

We'll beat villa 5:0

[Sparklehorse]

Under normal circumstances we would walk it. The problem for me is that they will put 10 behind the ball, and try and catch us on the break, with our “A” defence I wouldn’t worry ……….but did you see our defence today. A total shambles, our only hope is that Ake is fit, if it’s the same back four next week I will be bricking it. That’s not pessimism that’s realism.

[Beefymcfc]

Been clam all day, just got to do it one more time at home. Can’t remember the last time Villa took any points at our place, an not expecting them to take anything this time either.
