  MANCHESTER, England -- Swansea virtually secured Premier League survival and West Bromwich Albion moved closer to safety on Saturday. Jonjo Shelvey scored an eye-catching volley in a 4-1 victory for 12th-place Swansea over Aston Villa, which is just four points and two places from the drop zone. Saido Berahino gave West Brom a 1-0 victory over West Ham that took the team five points clear of danger. But Fulham threw away a two-goal lead at home to Hull to draw 2-2 and remain in the drop zone. At the top of the standings, Evertons hopes of qualifying for the Champions League were hit by a 2-0 loss at Southampton which kept the visitors in fifth place. Tottenham closed the gap on Everton to three points after Danny Rose clinched a 1-0 win at Stoke, meaning that Manchester United could even miss out on Europa League qualification. After a sleepless night before his managerial debut, Ryan Giggs saw his Manchester United team reawaken Old Trafford with a comfortable victory over Norwich on Saturday to end a tumultuous week that started with David Moyes dismissal. United asserted itself over Norwich after a tedious start, with Wayne Rooney scoring twice -- the first from the penalty spot -- and Juan Mata also netting a brace after coming off the bench to complete a 4-0 win in the English Premier League. "I should retire now, a 100 per cent record," Giggs quipped. The 40-year-old midfielder, who dropped himself from the match-day squad, is likely to have just three more games as player-manager, with United looking to appoint a more experienced successor to Moyes. "The reception was great. Ive walked out of the tunnel so many times in big games. Thats the best feeling Ive had, I felt so proud," Giggs said. "Did I sleep last night? No." It was a day all about restoring pride after Moyes inherited a team that won the league by 11 points under Alex Ferguson last May and took it down to seventh in the standings. But while United is frustrated to be out of the four Champions League places, Norwichs position is far more precarious -- fighting against relegation. A seventh straight loss left the team just a point and a place above the relegation zone. Although the revenue streams could be hit, a season out of Europe could help the rebuilding process which it seems Giggs wont be overseeing as manager, however much he impresses during his four-game stint as interim manager. "Weve had a tough week and theres been a lot of negativity towards us as a team," Rooney said. "We were hurt by that and we wanted to put that right. Its important for us to end the season well." The breakthrough against Norwich came after Steven Whittaker brought down Danny Welbeck, and Welbeck scored from the penalty spot in the 41st. The striker was on target again inside three minutes of the second half, drifting in from the left unchallenged before unleashing a shot into the bottom corner of the net. United was cruising, and the magnitude of the victory was even more convincing after Mata made an immediate impact after coming off the bench on the hour. The Spain midfielder scored inside three minutes, after meeting a cross from Phil Jones. Mata nodded another over the line in the 73rd after being set up by Antonio Valencia. "Im interim manager but Im also one of their team-mates, so it was tough to leave them out, but youve seen the response of Juan," Giggs said. "Thats a true professional, to not moan and not sulk and come on and perform like he did." Cheap Vikings Jerseys Authentic .

Tensions rose in the first period when Penguins defenceman Brooks Orpik hit Bruins forward Loui Eriksson with what appeared to be a clean hit.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Frustrated Jets fans have taken to the air to vent.Literally.A plane with a banner urging the team to fire John Idzik circled several times above the practice field for about 20 minutes Wednesday as the players went through drills while New Yorks embattled general manager watched.The banner — in red, 5-foot uppercase letters — read FIRE JOHN IDZIK as it flapped behind the small plane. The plane arrived minutes after the media got to practice as Jets players began stretching.That was a first, quarterback Michael Vick said after practice. I think that was a bit extreme. That money that was spent on that jet fuel could have been given to some type of charity. Believe me, there are people out here in the world that need it.As it buzzed above, it appeared many players tried to ignore the plane after taking a quick glance — as Idzik stood on the sideline. Owner Woody Johnson was also attending practice, and was seen speaking with Idzik and Ryan at one point.Trust me, I get it, Ryan said after the 1-8 Jets practiced. I know our fans are really frustrated. Theres no doubt about it. Obviously, were very frustrated. Everybody is. We want to win. I personally dont think its appropriate. Were working our butts off — John, everybody — to find a way to win.The plane stopped circling shortly before the 30-minute period in which the media is allowed to attend practice.Its annoying, Vick said. You see that and youre out there trying to practice and put everything into practice and all of your efforts and then you see something that becomes a distraction.Then, theres a whole bunch of negative thoughts that start going through your head and everybodys attention is up in the sky as opposed to the practice field.Vick added that his teammates did a good job of maintaining their focus.I just think some of this is a little over the top, Ryan said.Ashley Chalmers, owner of Jersey Shore Aerial Advertising, told The Associated Press that his company flew the banner over the facility under a subcontract from another company and it cost a frustrated fan — identified only as a female — less than $1,000.Chalmers company often flies banners with either corporate advertising or personal messages — Will You Marry Me? — over sporting events and beaches, but it was the first time it had one fly over the Jets practice facility.I saw the team down there and, to be honest, I kind of felt bad for them because theyre having such a bad year, said Chalmers, who piloted tthe plane out of Central Jersey Airport.dddddddddddd I didnt realize how big this would become and Im kind of stunned.Chalmers added that theres absolutely a chance the banner will fly again Sunday over MetLife Stadium for the Jets game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.Its not the first highly publicized measure disgruntled fans have taken. The website FireJohnIdzik.com raised more than $10,000 last week to buy billboard space to further its cause.Im upset because, and I understand the billboard thing and all of that stuff out there, and then this, Ryan said, even though I recognize the fans are in pain and we all want to win, but to place it on one person, I dont think its fair.Ryan said the banner maybe a little crossed the line, in his opinion, but added that the fans have the right to do whatever they want. The coach added that Idzik is tough, when asked about the GMs reaction.It wasnt something he was overly upset with, Ryan said. Im sure he wasnt pleased with it.Neither Idzik nor Johnson was available for comment.Idzik, in his second season as the Jets GM, has been highly criticized as the team is off to a terrible start that includes eight straight losses. He gave a state-of-the-team address last week, in which he opened with a 19-minute statement that included Idzik taking responsibility for the Jets situation, but he also rambled at times without definitively stating how the team would turn things around.That drew the ire of many Jets fans who have flooded sports talk shows and websites with their disappointment with how Idzik has handled things.Among their gripes are the lack of depth at cornerback, failed draft picks — only five of the 12 from last May are on the active roster — and the failure of Geno Smith to prove himself as a franchise-type quarterback.The Jets are also hoping to not lose a franchise-record ninth straight game when they play the Pittsburgh Steelers at MetLife Stadium on SundayRyan has been on the hot seat all season, his sixth with the team, but theres also growing sentiment among fans that Idzik should also be fired with the Jets likely to miss the post-season for the fourth straight year.Its just like kick a man while hes down, all right, we understand that, Vick said. People do that. Some people want to see other people suffer. I think at the end of the day, we all have a job to do, we are all professionals, and some things dont go right.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Diamondbacks Jerseys Cheap Braves Jerseys Cheap Orioles Jerseys Cheap Red Sox Jerseys Cheap Cubs Jerseys Cheap White Sox Jerseys Cheap Reds Jerseys Cheap Indians Jerseys Cheap Rockies Jerseys Cheap Tigers Jerseys Cheap Astros Jerseys Cheap Royals Jerseys Cheap Angels Jerseys Cheap Dodgers Jerseys Cheap Marlins Jerseys ' ' '
