If the upturn in form since Knapper's arrival is anything more than coincidental, I don't believe it's anything to do with influencing tactical selections and formations. It may be related to a happier atmosphere all round since Webber left, but equally it may just be a correlation which is purely coincidental. Let's just be happy it's happened and hope it continues.

No, I think it's a bit ridiculous to suggest Knapper has told Wagner what positions to play players in that he's been coaching all season. Wagner has talked about Sara's versatility since he joined. Now don't get me wrong, Knapper having suddenly dictated tactics, players, styles and everything is really convenient for those fans who claimed Wagner was a non-league manager at best a few months ago, but it's nothing more than that. Convenient.

He's scored 5 goals and got an assists in 4 starts and 3 sub appearances in the SPL. As for who we replaced him with... -

God I hope they go down. Horrible, entitled club who have been wasting a place in the Premier League for years. -
I blame Brexit.

Neither of those look like Kate. 😀

Forest docked four points
Robert N. LiM replied to Robert N. LiM's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Interesting response as always, @Parma Ham's gone mouldy - thanks for taking the time. I take the point and there's certainly something in what you say, but I think I'm basically with @cornish sam: this is more or less what I would have written if he hadn't already done so. A bit like parachute payments, FFP rules, it seems to me, are a sort of sticking plaster in response to the grotesque financial iniquities that are basically priced into the setup of the Premier League. It makes me laugh grimly, all this talk of setting up a 'football regulator'. We had one pre-1992, it was the FA, whose responsibility it was to act in the wider interests of the game. They didn't always get that right, as their shameful treatment of Wimbledon emblematises, but when the FA set up the Premier League with the richest clubs, they basically abandoned their oversight role and any pretence that the bigger clubs could be encouraged, or even forced, to act in ways that benefitted the game as a whole disappeared overnight. In the end this is all that needs to be said: And the second half of Nutty's sentence encapsulates why the problem will never be solved. Even those like us, who can't beat 'em, still want to join 'em. -
I'm seeing Sara now in more of an Odegaard role, is that a Knapper influence?

There were quite a lot of 'drinks paella, eats estrella' round me on Saturday...

Uh oh

I'd be worried if I were a Stoke fan, that squad is truly shocking, destined for League One unless things change. How many managers is it now that have failed to make an impact there?
-
Absolutely. Amazing that posters like S_81 who were all over this forum when things weren’t going well are conspicuous by their absence now. Still I imagine Schumacher will be available again soon. Interesting what he said about us on Saturday!

I enjoy them too, not necessarily for watching international football, although I'm looking forward to seeing Pukki against Wales, but just having break from having to go to Carrow Rd and the impact on my time. When games return I'm gagging to get back. It's a good reset. With our paper thin squad, it's probably come at the right time for us. Hopefully Duffy can get fit, Hanley get his act together, Sarge a bit of downtime and Sainz and Sara wrapped up in cotton wool!

Just saw this article - really very thought provoking and slays a few myths. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/mar/19/end-of-landlords-surprisingly-simple-solution-to-uk-housing-crisis In a way tells you much about what's gone wrong with the UK.

Cash poor asset rich pensioners. Who won't divest of their assets and expect 'society' to pick up the tab on the cash poor bit of it. And their inability to bring themselves to divest very often puts up process for the rest of us, so their asset base increases in value at the expense of younger generations.

That will tighten up in the election, I reckon. Don't think Reform will get as many votes in the end. My guess would be that Reform are within a per cent or so of the LibDems, who always bat well in a couple of districts here (definitely Smithills and to a lesser extent Horwich and Westhoughton) but those districts are only a small part of the whole seat. That said, Heaton (where I am), Lostock, Markland Hill and Chew Moor will usually tend blue and Lostock is probably the most prosperous/prestigious part of town so they're understandably largely going to vote blue.

Tough one really, the boomers as a whole have high levels of disposable income compared with younger generations, but there are lots of poor pensioners. I'm sure that concession was set to state retirement age though when it was 65 for men and 60 for women, which isn't 65 for either anymore, I'm surprised given the constant cash grabs in football these days that the club hasn't already lifted the concession age to 66, and then do so again to 67 in 2028.

Evertons new stadium
Nuff Said replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
It’s further away from the city centre that I had realised, about a 50 minute walk from Lime Street station according to Google. The route would take you through the city centre, passing by the Albert Dock, Tate Museum and Pier Head, so plenty to see and do on the way. Loads of good pubs (a lot less than £8 a pint!) and restaurants too. -
True, forgot about him. Jurgen Colin was a weird one, looked class and rapid going forward when we first signed him but seemed to either have that swiftly coached out of him or rapidly lost all confidence. Might be one who would have been better suited to the modern game in England than the game in England in the mid-Noughties.

Wonder what unique way they will fill your £8 pint there, will it be from the bottom, from the side, or wirelessly transmitted?
