Aston Villa v Norwich City Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Gabby does not deserve a start it's as simple as that. However hopefully he'll finally score today. Come on Villa we need to win this.

[JUAN PABLO]

People on the radio cant believe Gabby starting and not Bent .   Everyone saying you have to play the goalscorer. 

[Percy McCarthy]

Gabby was much better than Bent at Fulham, it's as simple as that.

[Percy McCarthy]

More people like the Spice Girls than the Clash. So fucking what?

[PaulWinch again]

Problem is though he's a striker and he hasn't scored in the league for nearly a year.

[JUAN PABLO]

Seems we are playing pretty football but going no where forward . 

I think I would have started Bent instead of Gabby and Nzog for Albrighton .

Come on villa . We have to win this.

[VillaAlways]

I see N'Zog hasn't even made the bench !!

[JUAN PABLO]

Just noticed no Ireland in team . Is he on bench?

[Monty]

Yes he is. I wonder if Lambert's gone 4-3-3, with Albrighton and Gabby wide of Benteke.

[JUAN PABLO]

well Norwich will create chances , they created loads with Lambert and will be on a high from beating Arse.

I just hope we create some .    I thought easy win about a hour ago , I am now bum squeaking .

Subs: Given, Lichaj, Westwood, Bannan, Bent, Weimann, Ireland.

I don't think my nerves can stand this. I'll tune in this evening when I've calmed down. Take it easy chaps.

I've known defenders get more goals.

[paulcomben]

Dion Dublin and Robbie Savage are the pundits on Football Focus. Waiting for head butts. Meanwhile, Jeff Stelling and crew saying no team has gone backwards on player investment faster than Villa in 3 seasons.

[Morten]

I really hope leaving Bent out turns out to be the right decision. I think he should have started, he is our most likely goal scorer. I was certain he would score today. Hope Gabby finally starts scoring in the league again, or Benteke, our midfielders do not score many goals. N'Zogbia derserved a start, but he seems to be injured. Glad that Herd starts, I think he is better than Lichaj.

Please show some character and desire today, we need to win...
