Expecting us to beat Man Utd is a little bit over the top. Of course, we have the chance of getting something, and I think there's a real possibility. At the start of the season, pretty much any game against the 'big six' would've been viewed as a free hit of sorts as we wouldn't have been expected to get anything, but given Man Utd's form, I don't think it's in that category any more. It's a game that we can certainly get something out of and we would be disappointed with a defeat- not like the opening day when you could just shrug your shoulders and say 'well, what did you expect?' But actually expecting a win? There are very few games in the Premier League this season that we would 'expect' a win from and Man Utd isn't one of them.

Agree 100% with this. They have a world class goalie, some top forwards and are playing against a newly promoted defensively patched up team. I'd be delighted with a point.

A terribly sad loss. Big Dunc really was a captain, a leader and a legend. One of my fondest memories is of the time, aged 14, when me and a friend had planned to go to an autograph signing session Duncan and Justin Fashanu were going to do at Keymarkets (now Morrisons) on Spixworth Road. We decided to go to the Club Shop at Carrow Road to buy something for them to sign, but got our timings totally wrong. With 15 minutes before the signing was due to start we were still stuck at Carrow Road without a chance of getting back to Keymarkets in time. Then, to our great surprise, Duncan and Justin came out of the ground. They saw us looking at them and Duncan said: "alright lads?". Although we were totally starstruck we somehow managed to explain our situation. "No problem lads, jump in the back" said Duncan opening the back door to their car. We just sat in the back open mouthed as our two heroes basically chauffered us to the signing session. I still remember to this day that they were discussing Joe Royle, who had just joined us. Duncan Forbes and Justin Fashanu were my two biggest heroes as a youngster supporting Norwich, both now sadly departed.

"When you hear the fans like they were against Man City, and they were loud, they’re like the 12th man. It does help you and it makes it horrible for the opposition." Not that I think we should need a reason, but let's just get behind the boys tomorrow. It doesn't (or shouldn't, at least) matter who the opposition is, what your current opinion on owners/direction etc. is, just support them. For one reason or another the atmosphere against Villa was horrific from the start, at 0-0 with all to play for. We sounded like the away team, it was embarrassing. Let's make sure tomorrow is different - the same as the Man City atmosphere, no ifs, no buts, just get behind the team, OUR team. It shouldn't matter who the opposition is, this just has to become standard at Carrow Road. Believe it or not, fans can make the difference, yes it might be fractional, but sometimes that edge is all that's needed.

Can you confirm Leeds have not won it yet ?

Martial back for them tomorrow will be a big boost for them, he’s not played much due to injury, but when he has, he’s got the goals or assists. They are pretty resolute at the back so I’m hoping it’s not going to be one of those frustrating games where Pukki gets snuffed out. Thirdly, they do have pace up front, and although they’ve not exactly scored a hatful this season, we have to bare in mind that James and Rashford etc are facing a patched up centre back pairing and not the fastest CM’s so there is that to consider. That all said, I expect Pukki to get back on the goal trail and Buendia to break his Premier League duck at last, I reckon it’ll be a 2-2 draw but fingers crossed we’ll nick it, or even better, give them their biggest defeat of the season! We can definitely beat them, no question, but we need to impose our game, which we know we can do - OTBC

And his triplet, Kasper 🤣

Running out of space on the bingo card again.

I bet your talented daughter has more sense than her old man and wouldn't consider an old fashioned and slightly backward comment to be worth an assault charge and a criminal conviction.

Do not fear Diane is here🤣 c'mon Vitesse if Preston can do it so can you !

I do hope so indio, I really dont like them. In fact they're about the only team I really dislike. Ps I dont dislike 1p5wich, I pity them.

They won it about a month ago.

Yup, close but no cigar. I know it doesn't mean much to the PUPs coffers, but it certainly felt like a win at full time!

But if we do win, just know I expected it 😜 And if we don't......... Well... You've already had your say.

Not having that, he’s the second worst behind Glenn Hoddle. That guy could send any person to sleep as his commentary is so dull and boring and more often than not makes absolutely no sense. I remember listening to an England match and he talked about the other back post, god knows what back post he meant as there is only one. It does feel sometimes that some have been put in for the sake of being correct, I can’t listen to Alex Scott or Jacqui Oatley and definitely can’t listen to Sue Smith but others like Jordan Nobbs when it was the World Cup And Hope Solo from the US of A I thought were really good,made sense and didn’t just talk for the sake of it, oh and Bianca Westwood will always be fab for that Forest game.

Yes.mp4

I have to say that I have stopped watching Goals on Sunday since Ben Shephard departed for family reasons. He worked well with Chris Kamara and the atmosphere of the programme has changed for the worse under the new format ; in my opinion.

A good minute's applause is imo just as good as a minute's silence if it is done with the right sentiments behind it, but in this case I agree that a minute's silence is appropriate.

I feel compelled to offer my comment and opinion as I WAS THERE...... Attended as an away fan with three exiled Yorkshiremen.... As a four we made up 2% of the away fans. Home team were truly dire... no plan, no class. Completely monstered by a resolute Rotherham team. Outsung and out cheered the home support... emptying from the 75th minute. Far, far worse than our brief soujorn in the division. AND... £27 for an adult away fan... robbery on behalf of Mr Evans. Nothing to worry the sons and daughters of Norfolk.

..lol....once again minute silence talk has drawn out this chap. As regular as clockwork !

'I'm not racist/sexist but...'

Ha ha. You missed "Don't get me wrong" 😂

I dont actually deny that more wealthy owners would give us a better chance of staying in the prem for longer. Thing is, they would need to be as good as our owners have been with all the other stuff, as well as the on field stuff. Now, if we can guarantee that then great. But what are the odds? And that's what it comes down to. Taking their lack of wealth into account, theyve consistently delivered above and beyond that of many rich counterparts. As Nutty said before, anyone who thinks it's worth taking the risk just to say we've got owners with a bit more money is not only showing a huge lack of care to our club as it is but it's doing the current owners a massive disservice.

To counter this, all three youngsters have only played less than 10 games at this level and still improving. Yes I would have loved an additional defender with Hanley out the door, but Zimbo n Godfrey we’re developing a great pairing, so a better defender might well be out of reach financially, so Klose a full international as third choice was solid enough, with Amadou In we should have had more than enough to cover that area, just damn unlucky with all the injuries in that area. I certainly don’t want another Naismith type on huge wages but no commitment to our cause.

DO NOT FEED THE TROLL

I read this sort of stuff and then it becomes no surprise to me that Oxford University has banned clapping so people don't get triggered. Live it a little for god sake.

That’s not your point though is it? The thread is called “women commentators on men’s football”, you made it about the commentators being women. If that’s not what you want to draw attention to, then call it “poor commentators on football”. And please don’t use the word “lady” when you mean woman unless you always call men “gentlemen”. Nuff said P.S. That is my favourite piece of video from last season without question. Absolutely superb.

Well it wouldn't let me quote you BV it seems even the software on this forum has standards.

No, no, no. The Binners are the BIG TEAM in that division. Lambert said so.
