    I'm not sure whether Arsenal would have scored at all if they had not been given the penalty. They were losing 1-0 at home in the closing stages. Arsenal have developed an amazing 'give up and go home' attitude under Wenger. When the going gets tough, the players just give up, knowing Wenger will just make excuses for them and it doesn't matter whether they win or not. The aims are only fourth place each season after all...

      Norwich 1 Aston Villa 2

      I was at this match at Carrow Road on Saturday which started well with Robert Snodgrass creating some excellent crosses. Then Villas Gabriel Agboniahors saw an opportunity and sliced through Norwich's defence and hit a 25 yard shot which Mark Bunn could not save.
      When Grant Holt equalised through a penalty, the Norwich fans were singing and chanting "come on you yellows" and the atmosphere was alive.
      Then some five minutes or so from the end to all our horror, Agboniahor caught Norwich's defence napping and bang ,goal number 2 !
      I left the stadium downhearted and just hope that Norwich can win against West Brom on May 12th as relegation stares us in the face !

        Norwich have had a dire run of form recently and I really hope they pull things around. With only 6 points seperating 18th to 11th, it really is tunring out to be Bun (pun intended ) fight down there.

        Fingers crossed for you, West Brom are safe and so may be playing with a relaxed attitude. I also think you stand a good chance against City as they too have very little to play for and you get the feeling they just cant wait for the season to end. My bet is you stay up

            Norwich 4 West Brom 0

            Well, where do I start!
            I was so glad that I bought last minute tickets for this match as it was one of the most exciting that I have ever seen.
            Norwich played with a determination and skill rarely seen and Carrow Road was alight with chanting, singing etc and I have never been to a match with such atmosphere.
            Howson's goal (number 4) was spectacular and all the Team and Chris Hughton celebrated on the pitch afterwards , now guaranteed to stay up !

                Manchester City 2 Norwich City 3

                Wow, what a finish to the season with 11th place !

                I watched the match on TV and it was amazing, with Jonny Howson's goal incredible as he sliced through four defenders!

                Apparently by finishing 11th Norwich could gain an extra £4m in revenue/sponsorships etc.

                Well pleased!

                  A really good performance over the season.

                  A bit like Arsenal really, a decent start with rubbish in the middle then a good finish

                    Norwich City 6 Bury 3

                    Yes, 6 goals but in the Capital 1 cup !!
                    Tickets were only £10 each, children £1, what value !
                    Going to see them play against Southampton tomorrow in the Premiership so here's hoping for a good result!


                    Norwich won by one goal against Sot'on...a real corker of a goal by Nathan Redmond a new signing...the sports tabloids are still talking about the goal!!

                      A much needed win for Norwich

                      Relief for Manager Chris Hughton and fans with a 1-0 win over Stoke bringing a much needed 3 points for Norwich.
                      Jonny Howsons 22 yard shot was a peach!

                      I have not bought tickets for the Chelsea match as they are just too expensive and it's anoying that the top teams demand a ticket premium!

                        That was an excellent goal indeed. Out of interest, what are they charging for the Chelsea game?

                          For an adult it's £50, that's up to £20 more than if it was a team from the second half of the league.
