Norwich City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[maidstonevillain]

Do I recall a rumour on one of the threads that AM's contract required him to get 40pts. If that is the case, hope it's a draw.

[James]

Hutton out ruptured Knee Ligaments

Really? That's him out for nine months minimum, then. Potentially the whole of next season.

Ankle ligaments, will be out for eight weeks!

[Merv]

Ankle ligaments, you say? Around eight weeks, then...

Knee ligaments is a whole new ball game.

Don't talk to me about knee ligaments.  Damaged mine at the emirates nearly 7 weeks ago.  Knee's got more painful as the weeks have gone by.  Hoping to see consultant next week.

I thought you were one of our better players in that match, too, Pauline.

Well we're safe now barring a cataclysmic set of results. So I'm sure we'll end the season on a high with free-flowing, out-and-out attacking football and try to put a shed-load past the Canaries with our inspirational manager.

0-0 it is then.

Agree with the sentiment but not the result, I think we will play with gay abandon and lose 2 - 1

[Matt Collins]

Norwich haven't kept a clean sheet for 13 games.

Still, if we play 7 defenders again (Herd, Clark and Warnock in midfield) I reckon that run might end, especially if Emile is up front!

Subs: Guzan, Carruthers, Albrighton, Warnock, Bannan, Gardner, Delfouenso

Nobody else available? Eck loving 0-0, Warnock for Gabby.

I'd like to be associated with both of the above predictions.  Mainly because they reflect my mood at this point on a friday night.  I've gone for a win but then I always do. UTV!

Just off to William Hill armed with my mortgage

Cheers paulie.  Unfortunately the club haven't offer to pay for the consultation.

[The Situation]

Lets be more optimistic fellas, McLeish will only want us to finish the season just like how well we started the season...






















0-0

[pooligan]

Now the pressure is off our manager will show more adventure and attack. 1-1 it is then.

[spangley1812]

Darren Bent should be on the Bench............

Where does it say that? I don't think he'll be on the bench
