Norwich City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Well done Garde, you've relegated us. All you. Nobody else's fault. Can't think who else to blame. It's not as if we've been shit for over 4 years and just about staying up.

[aev]

On a positive note, I'd rather be rock bottom, god awful, than go down on the last day of the season.

I must admit, it would be the slimmest of silver linings if we, having dropped about two months earlier, won our only other game against the Codes and relegated them again.

Please be this!

 Chelsea joining us both would also be nice

A tricky one, as they wold lose 50% of their fans pretty quickly but would also be going straight back up, reducing the promotion spaces for us.

[Rotterdam]

We deserve to go unforunately. We seem to have relied on three teams being worse than us, except we are actually one of the worst three on 'merit'.

[Monty]

I just hope Newcastle come down with us so they don't get to gloat. I can take stick from anyone else, but those sanctimonious fuckers laughing it up at our expense will drive me to a ritual suicide with the shame of it.

I've always had my doubts about his fitness, but why Charlie Austin wasn't stretching a Villa shirt in mid-August is beyond my ken. Gestede may have been eight million quid cheaper but I bet his goal to fee ratio would have still have been worse than Austin's.

The following has already been said by all of you, but I need to get it out of my system.

- I like Garde, but todays line-up was too negative. Richardson and Sinclair instead of Gil/Traore/Grealish - i dont get it.

- Ayew and Westwood getting suspended in injury time so they will miss the next important game against Sunderland. Plain stupid. Or perhaps just stupid of me, thinking it will be an important game. Why I am still hoping ?

- Hutton and Clark. Comedy defending yet again.. I would like to see Richards at right back and Okore and Lescott in the middle. I have no idea of who should be left back. Illori or Crespo, our shrewd signings perhaps?

- Richards getting into a fight in the 91. minute. I bet he was thinking: "this will show the fans, I really care.."

- Bacuna, Richardson, Guzan, Westwood, Hutton, Sinclair: How can the club allow such a team to be assemblied ? I still remember the window when we got Cole, Senderos and Richardson..

- Gestede: either he makes a mess of it or he walks around looking disinterested. This is supposed to be his big chance in the Premier League.

- Ayew and Veretout: when we go down, they will be sold. Meaning we will be stuck with the garbage players. I cannot see us getting promoted with this squad, even if 5-6 goods players are added.

etc. etc.

I bet Charlie Austin can't wait to get up that M1-M6 in a very speedy car

One thing I will say is there is no bastard way that Ilori can be worse in defence than Hutton, Clark, Bacuna or Richardson. Just give him a chance.

[BC54 VFC]

Can't we just resign from the league and be done with it.
Lerner you may as well give the club away for free. Six years it took you to Fuck it up.
Just like the Cleveland browns. You're a complete failure in the sporting world.
How the hell did you survive in your other  businesses?

He inherited MBNA; the idiot even took Bank of America shares as part consideration when he sold, and look what's happened to their price subsequently. He is a complete and utter failure in everything he does.

The thing is, every time we say 'there's no way X is worse than Y', X invariably turns out to be a pile of complete shit.

Apparently his new misses is a bit of a corker so not everything

Agreed. I think Liverpool saw us coming there - a season long loan and he's been injured for half of it. And I know this belongs to another thread, but Gestede has missed goalscoring chances in at least two out of three games that I would stake my wedding tackle on Kozak scoring.

Remember Bertrand's debut? Fantastic, and then he looked like one of the most incompetent full backs ever to pull on a shirt. The attitude permeates everything at B6.

I think Kozak has got his passport ready for a January move to Scotland

It's not stopping is it?
