Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [16th - 21st April 2016]

They need to win all of their remaining games and pray for Norwich to lose all of theirs with a big swing in goal difference, then they need Newcastle and Sunderland to not catch up with Norwich. You've probably got a bigger chance of winning the lottery jackpot than Villa staying up now.

 

[mmj_uk]

No if Norwich win or draw Villa are relegated, it's out of their hands.

Yeah but even if Norwich lose 10-0 Villa will be relegated if they don't win.

 

[da_mic_1530]

Suppose as a toon fan I need sunderland to beat Norwich.

I mean Newcastle are down anyway, but hey there's still vague hope if we manage to beat Swansea

 

[Mr-White]

If Norwich lose all their games 1-0, Villa will need to win theirs 3-0 because of the goal difference.

 

[el_dazza]

Pen Sunderland.

Borini scores, 0-1

 

[Mr-White]

Sunderland penalty, I think the loud scream didn't help

 

[McBain]

Cracking penalty.

 

[Fulax]

Could've been nasty that.

I suppose Sunderland winning is good for us, maintains the pretence that we might stay up.

 

[MooMoo444]

Huge goal for sunderland

 

[McBain]

Norwich aren't very good.

 

[McBain]

lol, Bassong.

 

[Fulax]

Bassong showing off the skills he learned at Newcastle.

 

[Mr-White]

2-0 Defoe, lets see how Villa respond against United.

 

[Cosimo]

Sunderland now only one point behind Norwich with a game in hand.

 

[McBain]

Rooney starts, Martial on the bench. Have to laugh at that.

 

[gilchrd]

Unchanged team: Forster, Martina, van Dijk, Fonte, Bertrand, Wanyama, Clasie, Mane, Long, Tadic, Pelle

 

[MooMoo444]

Sunderland obviously wanna stay in the league more than Norwich

 

[Minibiker]

My team (Bristol City) have a tough away game today, Brentford very good at home but City on a high from beating Sheff Weds 4-1 last week...

 

[Tute]

See, in theory a front four of Depay, Mata, Rooney, and Rashford should score a hatful of goals.

But I just know it's going to be another of those slow performances and we'll be lucky to escape with a 1-0 win.

 

[McBain]

£8.5 million for Steven Naismith? No wonder Norwich are right in the ****.
