Given calls for togetherness

Aston Villa goalkeeper Shay Given has called for unity ahead of the last two games of the season.

Villa host Spurs on Sunday before taking on Norwich in their final match in the campaign where they will be looking to secure top-flight survival. The claret and blues are currently three points above the relegation zone following their goalless draw against West Brom, and Given has called for a united front. "Whatever (the fans') thoughts, the most important thing is Villa staying in the Premier League," the Republic of Ireland goalkeeper told the Express and Star. "We have a big game on Sunday and it is important that we all stick together. "It is not about the manager or the players, it is about Villa as a football club. The history we have to protect and the reputation."
