You're speaking a lot of rubbish here, Charlie.

An epic crash. 2 games ago it was theirs. Now it's gone. But to be honest, when you have the likes of skrtel and Johnson in their back 4, then they really shouldn't have had a chance. The quality of their defence is a joke for a team at the top of the league. Well done City anyway, by far and away the best squad in the league, so well deserved.

If that's true, then it means the players have known of interest, discussed and potentially agreed terms with prospective clubs. Going by what the club have said, including Reed in that we've had no bids, no enquires, and no interest then we could have a very strong case to submit to the league re: tapping up. Or it means that the club are spouting a load of waffle to get our money for season tickets, before selling everyone to the acclaim that it was ''too good to turn down'' and ''we will be stronger'', whilst we prepare for a relegation scrap. time will tell.

Lallana's against Hull for me, amazing effort. His one against Newcastle wasn't bad either!

I'm not saying he's not superb, but he's played sub-20 games this year and has only just come back into the side. He will not go to the WC based on that. It's up to him to start making the England staff's heads turn for the Euro's now.

He won't go to the world cup. It would be almost as ridiculous as Connor Wickham going, if we're honest.

That Ronaldo chap looks quite handy.

They are all but gone.

Weren't they asking for something like 15-20m? Which is quite ridiculous, really.

Need to hope our scouts can unearth a Bony or a Michu in the summer.

In his head, I imagine. He's still trying to justify his constant ''bigging'' up of their transfer policy in the summer, when the reality is that their transfer policy has lead to them being relegated. The vast majority of Norwich fans I know (Ok, only 3...) have said that he's the worst ever striker they'd seen play for them, and that's quite some statement!

Sorry, meant in league standing!

It's Sunday - 3pm. Would be good to end with a big win over a so called big club, just to round this truly remarkable season off in style. Enjoy it whilst we have it, that's what I say.

He's still got 1 year left though, whatever happens. May well be that he bides his time and gets a feel for the direction the club is going in before he commits. I think he wants to stay and isn't looking for a move, but probably nervous to commit long-term until the future goals are clear.

Surprised Juve don't want him, he's had an amazing impact there and has proven what an unbelievable player he is. Oh.

I just have a feeling he'll still be here next year. I don't think he'll sign a new contract though. Make of that what you will.

Not ready, his touch and movement are too static and he's not dynamic enough to play in our system as yet. He needs to go out to the NPC and have a hard season against big man mountains - that'll strengthen him up. Still believe he's playing as a consequence of our lack of depth, as opposed to the club truly believing he was ready to take the PL by storm just yet.

The noises are that At.Madrid want to move Villa on in the summer anyway, so you can imagine his agent has probably been touting him around. Reality is that he's no where near the player he was 2 years ago, no where near. But he's still a very handy striker who would certainly add to our team. It would be totally unrealistic if he was at the level he was 2 years ago, but he's not, so it's a possibility.

And that's why you're not a manager.

Sill not quite understanding why people are championing us spending so much money on someone who will be nothing but a squad player. We will sign someone better than what we have, then the current players become the squad players.

Good thread.

1 relegation place confirmed for next year then.

2-3..... interesting last 30 or so. I'd love Lukaku in our side so much...

Great record, not just down to Artur though - a real team effort.

His goal ratio is excellent, one of the best strikers in world football on that basis.
