Norwich City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Maybe a joint lift between Petrov and the captain on the day?

I'll have twos.

That's what I'm thinking, with the assumption that the captain on the day would be Ron Vlaar.

Just home from the game.   

He is better than Frankie Broome, better than Trevor Ford, better than Gerry Hitchens, better than Luc Nilis, better than Garry Thompson, better than Cyrille Regis, better than Dalian Atkinson, better than Andy Gray, better than Alan McInnally, better than Peter Withe, better than John Carew.   He is the best centre forward I have ever seen in a Villa shirt.

Dad reckons that the best centre forward we've had since he started going to Villa Park (in the 1940s) was Keith Leonard.

Better than Peter Withe is a big claim though! In fact when I first saw Benteke play I saw some of the things that Withe did in his game (holding the ball up, laying it off intelligently, aerial dominance). Maybe we've found our Gary Shaw now with Weimann?

I hope so.

Just got home nearly 24hours later,stayed down last night and had to do a bit of Christmas shopping with the mrs on way home today. Thought we played brilliant the whole game,Benteke was quality again. And well done to all the fans you were brilliant!!

Well the ''highlights'' on BBC were shite..3 games played other 2 games shown with commentary and highlights us just a voiceover and the goals...

Yep, really disappointed to not see more of our game. Obviously I'm biased, but with ours the only all-top division tie in the round, and containing more goals than the other two games combined, one might have expected more than the cursory two minutes we got.

Living in Oz, I miss real ale, decent curries and the Sunday Times. All of those I can get over but, fuck, I miss going away with the Villa

And the voiceover said, in effect, nothing much happened in the second half until the final 11 minutes when Villa scored the three goals. So, numerous saves by both keepers, both sides having a goal disallowed within a couple of minutes - none of that was worth showing? They actually showed less than SSN did in their roundup item.

still recovering from this one, what a night. Arguably one of the best atmospheres ive been to!

Has anyone got any pics looking towards the villa fans?

WEMBERLEEEE

Who took the corners and free kicks with no BB or Westwood?
