Yes but you can't control people, and they are allowed to react how they like within the guidelines.

Imo people getting on their backs looks just as bad. I'm guilty of both in the past...

I've learned to just let people do their thing...

Certainly don’t agree with that but understand you’re trying to be diplomatic. That thread can be quite obscene at times and there should be no reason for people not to call it out. Frustration is one thing and inevitable but there’s gotta be some recognition of the unnecessary.

Anyways. Not to dwell too much on that as it’s a very good day for the Villa!

We created a lot of good chances today, daft really that their XG was higher (influenced by the penalty of course), if Bailey was a bit sharper he buries that one first half and Duran should have squared for Ramsey to tap into an empty net for his first effort on goal. Loving the pace we had in the last 15 mins with Maatsen and Ramsey on. Lots to be encouraged about and none more so than not suffering a season ending injury, fingers crossed our luck turns in that regard this season.

They wanted us to be more physical and we are - we have players who can make us bigger, stronger and quicker than last season - it'll be interested to see how they develop and whether we can match last years performances.

In a lot of ways today, while the result is excellent, the performance was even better - we created loads of really good chances and allowed next to nothing - we looked a class apart from a West Ham side who are very, very good and whilst we may have caught them cold on the first day before they get their new signings bedded in, they still had a very strong side on the pitch, one that their fans are epxecintg to compete for Europe. 

We look very good.

Well my "reaction" to the match so far has been to get the tunes on (Daft Punk right now) and enjoy myself with a boogie!

The power of football, enjoy it everyone, we are living in the good times

UTFV!!!

Will be even better when Watkins is up to speed.

If I could have one Spam player, it’d be Kudus. He was immense today. Wonder if he fancies some CL footy?

You will be hard - pressed to see a better build up to a goal, all season, like our second. The ball from Torres was filthy, and the touch from Matteson was even filthier.

Should have won that 4-0 but we did it the Villa way instead , still nice to finally beat West Ham at the London Stadium 

disgusting penalty call as per usual against us , I thought after finishing above United that meant we received  their everything goes your way spot , but would seem not 

Onana is a beast of a midfielder, we finally have that man there that we’ve lacked for many many years , I had no idea he was this good

Ned and Jaden gave us a worrying last 15 mins or so , both looked nervous , but both will grow from playing in a winning team .

we need a right back and maybe one more CB and we are there or there abouts

As of Duran did that

Fredrik Ljungbers is a ciant gunt. Desperate to not give Villa any credit and to find a way to give West Ham another penalty for that late Soucek situation. 

Probably still bitter from when King Olof battered him during Sweden training...

I just think you aren't gonna change people, so calling it out just adds fuel to the fire.

Wholeheartedly agree, let's move on and enjoy the win. Great start to the season.

Yup that's no doubt part of it. He also played for West Ham towards the twilight of his career.

Why are they only talking about West Ham continuously?

All of our signings looked class today
