‘Please don’t be really predictable’: These West Ham fans are wary of getting their hopes up

If West Ham United beat Aston Villa on Monday night, they will go third in the league and level on points with Manchester City.

This would a pretty big turnaround, considering the Hammers lost 5-0 against the Citizens on the opening day of the campaign.

West Ham’s official Twitter page has posted a tweet ahead of kick-off to help gauge the mood among the fans:

There are some supporters who are confident ahead of the game, a feeling which has been helped by the club’s four-game unbeaten run in all competitions, with the last three of those being wins, as per Transfermarkt.

However, some are taking the fact the Hammers could jump to such a high position in the league as a sign that things are bound to go wrong.

Aston Villa showed that they can be very hard to beat under the Villa Park lights, as they defeated Everton 2-0 despite having just 35.2% of possession, as per WhoScored.

It is a performance such as that, mixed with the vision of the club being about to ‘do a West Ham’ that has made some fans reluctant about getting too ahead of themselves.
