I wonder where lord Ha Ha of Norwich has gone? All of his proclomations have tumbled before him. 7 pts in front of Villa and heading for Europe was his claim and relegating Villa "today" That was some weeks back, now, 2 pts down and heading for 46 games next season. No Europe, no hope. How sweet. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Norwich fan
Well done for today I'm not going make excuses and that but ref was poor very poor joe Bennett and your beast of a striker should have been off maybe. But Norwich where poor. Norwich have a lot of players that need to go that are no where near EPL level bunn has been awful last few games. Only got bassong who's really a EPL defender and snodgrass and tettey. Norwich need to survive to see if ch is a worthy manager. Anyways villa now safe and hopefully you will do us a fav and beat wigan on the last day.
Appreciate the honesty, not like the other two bitter fools. Norwich should be safe but they need to cross their fingers, can't see them getting too much against baggies and man city last game is the killer for them if other teams pick up results, you've just got to hope. Sadly mate, because of the rest of your fans, I could not give a stuff if norwich do go down!
Norwich Fan,
Yes Bennet may have mastered the Beast, but it shows the team spirit as Gabby stepped up to the plate.
Watching Villa today was like watching norwich last season, but with more quality. Its not just Lambert its all his staff that deserve the credit, the fitness levels of the Villa players is unbelivable, we looked well beaten at the end where as Villa looked like they had another 45 mins in them, the ability to sit patient and pounce, and punish. We have beat Manchester United & Arsenal this season which is great, Lamberet has masterminded wins against all the teams in and around you, they are the points that count, Its only naturel the Norwich fans will resent Villa, the best Manager we have had since MON left us for you, one day he will leave you then you can be bitter with the team he goes to.
I can only see him moving to Germany from Villa

Benteke a beast? More like a pussy cat. Ryan Bennett had him in his pocket all afternoon. 20 million! Wouldn't get £20 on today's showing.
The difference is, when our best player don't play well, our others do! don't be foolish, if norwich had £20m to spend they pay it all for a player that can store then 20 goals a season at the top level. Enjoy the championship
It wasn't about Benteke not playing well, he didn't have a choice as Bennett mastered the so called 'beast'. He's shown up for what he really is when he comes up against a player who won't be bullied by him, cause that's all he is. He may well score goals against poor teams like in his previous game against Sunderland, but how many did he score against Man U?
Every player has quiet games mate, and he must be half decent if you're taking such pride in one of your players outplaying him for one game. Round of applause for 'taming the beast' who frankly wasnt at the races and didn't need to be!
Who Won pal for months we were relagated today take it on the chin as usual
3 goals against liverpool and 2 against everton, and assists against liverpool and man u, that's just teams going for europe in his first season, this is not including his movement that has allowed others to score, hence taming the beast as your calling it didn't stop others scoring.
Might have had benteke in his pocket but could not deal with gabby

Lucky Yam Yams, passed off the park today, two lucky breaks, should have been down to 9 men.
Bless, had more possession and passed us off the park yet still lost AT HOME! You are dillusional bless you, i'll check up on you on the championship banter pages next season.
I don't understand the bitterness off Norwich fans. Grow up and concentrate on your own team!
Leave them to it mate, jealousy can turn people nasty
Yes more possession but you couldn't shoot for sh*t needed a penalty to score.
Villa had two lucky breaks ok and half a dozen more shots on goal than Norwich did
Face it you were ripped apart on the break constantly it could of easily been 3, 4 0r 5-1 so be happy your team didn't get mullered completely like when we played in the cup
Well possession isn't what counts its the result you are just bitter because you don't have the quality we have up front and because we have beat you again at carrot road good luck in the championship maybe you might score some goals

The Turkeys not cutting the mustard today. Thought they were better in the first half and out muscled our defense but great running by Gabby with two almost identical strikes that their keeper should have done better. A long with Lambert, it seems only Lotus are the other good thing to come out of Norwich.

Predictions for today? I'm going to go for 2-0 because they'll just sit in two banks of 4 regardless! If we get 2 up at half time i'd like to see us push on for 3 or 4! We can't play counter attacking though because they won't come at us, even at home. We've got to keep the ball and frustrate them, and if we're patient the chances will come! UTV
1-1 norwich only lost 3 times at home which is very impressive. They seem to have a problem away from home where they don't attack at home there a total different side and on the day can beat any team. Ie arsenal Man U. Guess we have to wait and see
