Norwich City v Aston Villa Match Thread

[eastie]

We sound all over the place  defensively. Coincidence that Given is back?

Guzan is very commanding in the air and I think the defence seem edgy with shay.

Oh what I would give for a classic league cup semi-final at Villa Park.

Man U, Blackburn and Tranmere are all out.

Shit. 2-0 Sunderland. Felcher

relax its better that Reading and QPR get cut adrift

Do you think? I'm not so sure. Puts the pressure on us if Sunderland/Wigan start winning.

It was definitely Baker with the back header - just re-wound SSN to watch it again. Clark caught a bit flat footed not anticipating the flick on. Can't really blame Given for that one - it dropped in the 'D'.

If Holman starts weighing in with goals it could be invaluable for us.

Weimann coming on, bent injured

Bent injured?

This has pens written all over it.

Arsenal aren't yet- shades of 96 and Leeds in the final?

Not sure I agree with this...

True but I was hoping for a draw and for both of them to be cast adrift. Sunderland have got a shitty fixture list after this - they play the likes of both Manchester sides, Liverpool and Tottenham.

[Monty]

Brilliant. Bent sounds like he's getting going, and he gets injured. His time with us is looking a little cursed.

[seanthevillan]

Shame for Bent - sure he would have got a few more chances and didn't sound like he was doing anything wrong.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Thats tough on Bent, hope it doesn't prove tough on us.
