West Ham United Birthday Card

Product Information

It has almost been a year of Unai Emery at Aston Villa, and it has been a 12 months that has exceeded almost all expectations.

The Birmingham-based club sit fifth in the Premier League on 16 points from eight matches played so far, and are enjoying a return to European competition after qualifying for the UEFA Europa Conference League last season. For those travelling by train, the nearest stations are Witton and Aston, both of which are on lines from Birmingham New Street. Direct trains from London Euston to New Street leave at 11.52, 12.39, 13.09, 13.39 and 14.15. After the game, direct services leave New Street at 18.47, 19.21 and 19.47.We also won 2-0 there in the Premier League in February 2014, when current first-team coach Kevin Nolan eased the Irons’ relegation fears with a double strike. The group here is special - togetherness carries us forward. It comes from the manager. With his experience, he works hard for us and gives us the belief we can do it." Frustration turns to satisfaction for Moyes Not content to rest on their laurels, Villa have recruited smartly in a bid to establish themselves as a top contender in the Premier League. Belgian international Youri Tielemans joined from Leicester City before the acquisition of Spain defender Pau Torres and France winger Moussa Diaby from Villarreal and Bayer Leverkusen, respectively. Then, with virtually the final touch, Fabianski produced a brilliant one-handed save to deny Rodrigo. West Ham's struggles continue But it was a rare glimpse of goal for the home side, who were forced to defend for long periods. Their defences were eventually breached by on-loan Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, who tapped home from close range after the ball had been deflected into his path.

He has taken charge of eleven West Ham matches in total, with the Irons having won two of them - including last season's 1-0 victory at Villa Park. On that occasion he awarded a penalty to each team as the Hammers came from 2-0 down to force a 2-2 draw against Mikel Arteta's title-chasers. Roord, who arrived from Wolfsburg, and Jess Park, who returned from her season-long loan at Everton, were the club's only additions. The West Ham manager saw things differently. “I’m not sure what happened really on the pitch. I did see Hawa raise her hands, but I saw the opponent raise her hands as well. She stays on the pitch and Hawa gets sent off.Thoughts are with the innocent civilians who have lost their lives, and all the communities impacted by the ongoing crisis in Israel and Gaza. The game didn't really develop any momentum as too many players exaggerated non-existent fouls, which made it a tough evening for Spanish referee Carlos Del Cerro Grande, much as it was for Anthony Taylor in the Europa League final seven days earlier.

We had to win, we played half a game against 10 men. When you play against 10 players you should be winning but we conceded a silly goal," Bosz said. Bowen again proves his importance to Hammers The Hammers' impressive defensive efforts in the first half came undone when they failed to close down Hemp before she unleashed a strike to open the scoring and they looked equally as helpless when Roord waltzed through to double the visitors' lead. You can listen to commentary in the UK on BBC Radio 5 Live and worldwide on whufc.com and our official app.Bowen's goal triggered euphoric scenes in the stands and a fierce reaction from Moyes, who was feeling pretty aggrieved at how the game had been panning out. As a lifelong fan of the game, as well as his beloved West Ham, Gold would probably have appreciated the spectacle of this contest, played as it was at high speed, in pouring rain in front of passionate supporters. Former Paris St-Germain defender Thilo Kehrer was particularly wasteful in possession and needed to rely on the covering efforts of Nayef Aguerd, making his first league start, to stop his unforced errors being properly punished. Probably not as good as we liked,” Moyes said. “Everton defended the box really well. That’s the first game we’ve not scored a goal in this season. We might have had more of the ball today but that doesn’t matter. We weren’t able to open it up.” He will take charge of a Hammers match for the first time this season on Sunday, and last refereed David Moyes' men when we hosted Arsenal at London Stadium in April.
