    Good point NN, but I think the atmosphere is largely determined by the quality and passion on show. The applause after the defeat against Stoke seemed to me to be a major turning point. It's been a long time since we've experienced anything like that.

    I just had to correct the club name with regard to Frank Lampard as they had a name change at the start of the season. ☺️

    More dangerous, ignorant bigotry "It is not your right, it is right, that you should wear one." Rather like the religious cranks who claim some man in the sky gave us all 'free will'' just as long as we exercise it tin accordance with his commands. A few years back and well before that the wearing of a poppy was down to individual choice. Many who had not lost family or close friends and saw it as a bit odd to 'remember' those they never knew. Now it has bcome something akin to red nose day. Somehow those not participating are deemed not to care for the plight of others - never mind that they might wonder why so many needed a charity to care for those the poppy wearer tell us gave us freedom. No asking why the great and good will be leading the events at the Cenotaph whilst so many ex-servicemen are sleeping on the streets. No questioning why Wetherspoons have huge cardboard poppies outside their pubs, or that the simple poppy is no longer universal but is up against expensive displays or 'care'. And I am well aware that conscription did not come in until Mar 2016 - that was my whole point. They were sacrificed, along with millions of others of all creeds and nationalities. Trying to reduce that complex and ghastly event into one simply 'showing your willy' sign of your virtue is offensive. There are no poppies for those who came back, or headstones in the local churchyard. Certainly 'silly billy' who was shell shocked so badly he lived in a barn unable to mix in the village and died there alone in the 30's. Alone as so many did. His wife could not remarry as long as he was alive and had to move into a one up one down cottage on the estate until he 'came to his senses' and went back to work. Three kids as well. He was my grandfathers pal. The stigma stayed with his sons and their children. I know because as a kid I joined in the mocking. Only this time, as an adult I can choose how I respond to what happened to him and millions of others. And no sanctimonious bullying by you or other self righteous sheep will change what happened or how it affects me. Nor how I respond either. I have and will exercise that choice. Something that was denied to a huge number of young lads in my village. A choice. .

    Did you you enjoy the Reverand Currys speech(or is it a sermon) in the royal wedding before the last one? I didn't see the wedding and as an atheist I am not likely to concur with any pious sentiments. But I have read his sermon and I admire what he is preaching. I can enjoy such sermons for the interpretation I take from each one. Nothing wrong with a bit of love but so much is false and unrequited by many who should know better I'm afraid. Funny how an atheist such as John Lennon can echo the same sentiments as a servant of god. I put a lower case g so not to offend anyone.

    We know he is doing a great job; but it is all about where we finish the season rather than these little plaques - much rather no awards and auto promotion than miss out on the top 6 and gain a short term gong along the way.

    So many to choose from the Lambert era - the 1-0 against Leeds in League One with a Chris Martin winner; the last minute winner against Reading when McNally threw the ball back for a throw in; the 3-3 against Arsenal at the Emirates; 2-1 win at WHL with Bennett scoring a great winner against Spurs. And some Hughton games - 4-0 win against WBA to keep us up in 12/13; the 2-0 win against Sunderland with the Tettey thunder-bas*ard; 1-0 wins against Arsenal and MUFC in 12/13 also. Farke’s best game I’ve personally see so far was the 3-1 win against Villa last season with the Murphy wonder-goal.

    His name is President Obama, or Barak Hussein Obama if you prefer. He was the President who's special forces killed bin Laden. The claim was not that Democrats took control of Congress, but of the House - which they did. So nobody lied about that point. I have explained why the Republicans could pick up Senate seats while losing House seats. It was in fact the most favorable Senate map that Republicans could have wished for. Yes it will help President Trump with judicial appointments, but does not help him at all on taxes, budget, trade or immigration and enables House committee investigations into claims of corruption by his administration. The next few days will reveal just how worried the Trump administration is....

    A case of Daniel (Farke) in the lions den, some might say.

    Does the 2-1 away win at Old Trafford count as normal because for me that is the best game I have been to as a Norwich fan bar Wembley. As a kid growing up Man United were the best team and the world and teams never went to Old Trafford and won so to see Norwich win at Old Trafford was just utterly fantastic!

    I’m not sure Norwich will have a choice whether to keep Passlack or not - Dortmund won’t be happy with his lack of game time (they cancelled his loan with Hoffenheim for the same reason). No way Marshall will leave, injury is the only reason he hasn’t featured more (at least from the bench) and with the homegrown player situation I can’t see anyone like Marshall going

    Does the 7-1 vs Reading count as ordinary? That was pretty awesome just in terms of the crazy number of goals we scored. Similarly the 6-0 vis Scunthorpe in 2011 with both Grant Holt and Simeon Jackson scoring hat-tricks. Mostly though it's the extraordinary games that stick in my memory: The 2-0 win over Gillingham in April 2010 to clinch the League 1 title. It was a beautiful day and I left the ground on a massive high. I stopped into John Lewis on the way home and spent £100 on baby clothes for my daughter who would be born two months later; Then 5 years later taking the same daughter on the train to Wembley to watch us win the playoff final against Middlesbrough. Good memories!

    No. RVW was nowhere near Norwich when I first expressed my thoughts about him.
