At the start of last season through to Xmas I made a fair few quid on Norwich
Every week I was lumping on £50 on their games to score +2.5 goals
I did it on the basis that they seemed to attack teams but were poor at the back
It's good & bad all rolled into 1 with PL I think

I remember their defending was abysmal at Villa Park.

Must have been for us to beat them.
Think they took the lead then we scored 3 fairly easy goals
Don't recall much tactical genius that day from PL
Gabby and Bent both played well I recall

Gabby played an absolute blinder which PL will have taken note of.

Still in a bit of shock that we even got him.

Anxiously waiting for this presser.

When Gabby and Bent play really well, there is not a team in the Premiership that can contain us, not just humble little Norwich.

I don't think that any Villa fan is expecting PL to produce Barcelona type performances, but if Norwich fans had been 'lucky' enough to see five or more Villa games last season I think they will understand why we are happy to have an up and coming Manager at the helm.

The defence will be largely told to do one I would think.
You'd like to think so but we have to be practical here, I can see 2 of the 4 going with Dunne and Hutton staying

Can someone change my name back to irreverent ad, please?

I admit I was an idiot to ask for it to be changed in the first place. ;-)

Unfortunately, we've decided only to do name changes for GMs.

Wasn't half the forum having their usernames changed when we thought we were on the brink of getting Solskjær as manager??

That's why we made it GMs only.
