    Yeah I thought this was bizarre and confusing too! "You have the tech at your ground so we'll use it for the cup. Umm... Yeah, sounds like a good idea!" However, I believe Michael Oliver caused waves by going over to look at a pitchside monitor. In reality, this is what the refs SHOULD be doing in ALL games and not letting some **** a few hundred miles away judge the situation.

    Although I can see that each of those players have obvious talent, I still find it difficult to accept or compute that we in some way have £120m worth of talent in our defence considering the number of goals we conceded in the second tier of English football, and our status as the team with the most goals in the 'against' column this season. I think it is possible that what we actually have is three defenders with the potential to be £40m players, all of whom have obvious strengths but some very obvious weaknesses, and I actually can't see us getting £40m for any of them at this stage.

    The way I see it is that supporting Norwich City is a relationship more akin to a family member / pet, or a close friend, than anything else. More often than not, it is something you are born in to, or stumbled upon by chance during your childhood – not really a direct choice in the same way as – say – investing shares in a business would be. Taking this comparison forwards, to constantly berate and whine over about your family’s failings and annoyances – when there is a clear and undeniable argument that demonstrates plenty of positives as well – would be grossly unpleasant. As always, the truth is somewhere in the middle and I am sure I am with the majority when I say I am somewhere in the middle of CirclePoint’s abusive attitude towards criticism of the club and TIL’s blatant misery towards our current ownership… On the subject of investment, do I think the club could have done more in the summer to put us in better than we are now? Yes I do. And the attempted signing of the French winger (whose name escapes me) on the last day of the window with a £16 million bid suggests that there was money to spend. I find this baffling and am surprised it has not been mentioned in this thread as yet; it throws the investment strategy and a lot of the arguments made on here into the air and I think there are some legitimate criticisms to ask here: Why did we wait until the last day of the window to demonstrate such a significant outlay on just one player? Why didn’t we make the attempt earlier in the window, where a plan B or C could be considered? Would we have been better place spending this on 3-4 signings for around the £5m mark? However, the lack of investment has only come to the forefront of the conversation as the signings we did make have overall been poor, plus we have experienced an injury crisis worse than any other in my living memory - both of which we can only know with the benefit of hindsight. But again, there is a case to be made for suggesting we were light on CB’s given Zimmerman was already injured in the summer, and Klose’s patchy fitness record. So yes, some questions should rightly be asked about our performance in the summer transfer window – but to focus and whine only on these pitfalls would be to disrespect everything positive and to ignore the external factors which couldn’t have been known. And let’s be real, given the season of consolidation under Farke with the 14th place finish and loss of our only valuable asset in Maddison at the time – I think we all would’ve ripped many arm’s off to be in this position only 18 months later. To be a self-sufficient club is something I am proud of, and there are plenty of fans from elsewhere who look at our youth system and transfer policy which saw us win the championship title on an absolute shoestring budget with serious envy. Without sounding ‘little ol’ Norwich’, our investment strategy means we will be the best equipped team to bounce immediately back from relegation (should relegation transpire) – I imagine we will lose a few of our players but we do not need to sell in the same way that saw us lose Maddison and I believe many will also stay. Because of this, we will be able to mount a very healthy championship challenge indeed. There is a lot to love about this set up, our club and Norfolk both in general and geographically, it is the same thing that sometimes makes it difficult to attract players from elsewhere that also makes it difficult for players to leave. Just look at players like Ruddy, Huckerby, Klose, Howson, Olsson, Brady etc etc all staying on after a relegation and some of whom rejected premier league offers to stay. That gives me plenty of confidence for our prospects. So, to bring it back to my comparison of Norwich City being like a member of the family, yes the club is not perfect and it does make mistakes, but I would never trade for another and there are plenty of positives that – for me – easily outweigh the negatives. To think we would not have a new set of criticisms and failings to aim at a new owner is frankly wild. The grass is not always greener and I’d say that overall our grass is pretty green at the moment – I am certainly happy to continue with our current model into the championship next season (if that’s where we are playing) and onwards!

    https://www.smh.com.au/national/this-is-not-normal-what-s-different-about-the-nsw-mega-fires-20191110-p5395e.html Unprecedented dryness; reductions in long-term rainfall; low humidity; high temperatures; wind velocities; fire danger indices; fire spread and ferocity; instances of pyro-convective fires (fire storms – making their own weather); early starts and late finishes to bushfire seasons. An established long-term trend driven by a warming, drying climate. The numbers don’t lie, and the science is clear. If anyone tells you, "This is part of a normal cycle" or "We’ve had fires like this before", smile politely and walk away, because they don’t know what they’re talking about.

    I think we should continue playing the system the team is trained to play rather than make wholesale changes to accommodate a player who impressed in one cup game against a lower league sides B team. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

    Good result for the Under 23s tonight - winning 4-3 away at Middlesbrough. Goals from Jordan Thomas, Shae Hutchinson, Josh Martin and an own goal. The majority of our team on the night are still eligible for our U18s. Think that for one U23 game, just for a laugh, we should put out a team with Lewis, Aarons, Godfrey, Cantwell, Buendia and Idah in it. 🙃

    The whole situation is outrageous. Iran and the US sends troops, under whichever guise they choose, to a foreign state. What gives them the right? Just how would these nations like it if they were invaded by other countries troops. Forget the UN, a new born baby has more teeth.

    By the way Ward 3 there are probably very few people who dislike Leeds over the years as much as I do (and have many reasons) but they played some very good stuff in that first half. And last season the 1-3 win at Elland Road was the most proud I've been of any Norwich team in a long while. We outfought them.

    We absolutely should be asking the same as Wan Bissaka, or around that fee. Jeez, he’s been outstanding in the Premier League at only 19 years old, just imagine how good he will be in a few years time?! There is no gamble on the lads ability, and that’s what these clubs are paying for - must be north of £35mil Daniel Levy you utter joke! But I sincerely hope we keep him and all our best young players this summer, recruit wisely and see where it takes us next season - let’s not get so close but yet so far for once, it’s our best chance to do something really special!

    It's just another variation on an old theme Nutty. If we struggle it's because of a lack of ambition/lack of investment/the fault of the board etc, etc... If we succeed it's because we 'got lucky'.

    Will be incredibly surprised and disappointed if we get any less than £30-35m given his contract length, obvious talent at this level, further future potential and supposed interest from every top club in the country. Don’t for one minute believe Webber would allow it either. He’s a clever man

    TIL , are we talking September 2014 ? When we won 3-1 to go top of Championship . Stayed the Saturday night with my youngest son . Had never heard of Scottish weekend . We were the only non Glaswegians in our B and B . In fact , felt like we were the only non Glaswegians in bloody Blackpool at times . Yes , there were a few sights around ! Quite an eye opener for my young lad . On the plus side , made me feel like quite a moderate drinker for once .

    I doubt they're worth anything like that in reality. Buendia wouldn't be worth much more than Maddison was. The rest less than that. They're good numbers to frighten off other clubs though.

    An attack on one's Embassy is tantamount to an attack on home soil. What are you going to do when you are attacked, nothing? That's called being a doormat and no self-respecting country would tolerate such behaviour. Instead of carpeting Iran with bombs a la Obama in Syria, the President has very sensibly taken out Terrorist no. 1 and as an added bonus got Terrorist no. 2 as well. It's a message to Khamanei - we know where you are and we can take you out if we want to. That's a brilliant piece of work by the US military and every terrorist leader around the world will be sh!tting bricks from now on, wondering if they'll be next.

    KG would be begging for zonal marking back again if he ever saw Emi, Teemu, Max or any of our other very short players trying to man mark some 6 foot plus Premier League giant. The issue ISN'T zonal marking - it's that we've got a very short team. We could easily cut down on the rate of set piece goals conceded by picking Stiepi and Denis every week and playing Amadou at right back and Godfrey at left back (when fit), but somehow I don't think KG would like that much either.

    I certainly wouldn't want to see him in central midfield. His final ball is world class, and we need that as close to the opposition box as we can get it. He's also a very good dribbler and he runs with the ball a lot, and we've seen what happens when he tries this in deeper positions and gets caught out. He's a player who definitely needs at least two midfielders behind him in order to maximise his qualities.

    How can any of the above be achieved with the policies you believe in? You support open-door policy on immigration which has a huge impact on housing and secure jobs. You're also an eco-loon who supports ever-increasing priced energy through Green policies. https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200708/ldselect/ldeconaf/82/82.pdf The costs of mass immigration have been huge and there is no evidence that net migration generates significant economic benefits for the existing UK population. Immigration at current levels will add five million to the UK population in the next fifteen years -- To accommodate the extra numbers we would have to build the equivalent of eight major cities — Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Sheffield, Bradford, Manchester, Liverpool and Bristol. Pray tell us how the policies you support are going to bring about affordable rents/social housing and longterm, secure jobs, you wilf.

    2020: “EU, EU, (So Bad We’re Leaving Twice)” The double-bonus for Brexiteers in the first year of the new decade Make no mistake about it, 2020 will be a monumental year for Brexit On Monday in just four days’ time, Twelfth Night will have passed, Christmas will be over, and Epiphany starts. If readers follow Anglican tradition, they will be taking down their Christmas decorations by midnight on Sunday. It will then be time to get serious about the year ahead. In 2020, we will finally leave the EU – not once but twice Brexit Facts4EU.Org Summary This coming year should contain the following defining moments:- 11pm on Friday, 31 Jan 2020 - The Withdrawal Treaty will come into force and the United Kingdom will technically no longer be a member of the European Union. 11pm on Tuesday, 30 June 2020 – This is the deadline by which any extension to the Transition Period must be agreed. If this deadline passes with no extension agreed – as Boris Johnson has promised - this leads to the next defining moment. 11pm on Thursday 31 Dec 2020 – The Transition Period will end. The UK will no longer be subject to the full panoply of EU laws, regulations, and directives. The United Kingdom will once again be a free, independent, and sovereign nation. Note: There are many caveats to the above, and a great many aspects which will require absolute vigilance if the UK is truly to become free of the EU, but now is not the time for these. The end of the 30-year war Finally, after a 30-year battle for many patriotic people starting with the lead-up to the Maastricht Treaty at the beginning of the 1990s, the year 2020 will mark the start of Brexit and the end to the forced integration of the British people into an EU superstate. It was the Maastricht Treaty which established the European Union and created “European citizenship”. It also established a common foreign and security policy and crucially laid the foundations for the creation of the common currency: the Euro. The British people were given no direct say over this fundamental change in the status of their own country. A monumental year for the United Kingdom It is no exaggeration to describe 2020 as an epiphany in the status of the United Kingdom in the World. As things stand, the UK will exit the EU formally (but not in practical terms) on Friday, 31 Jan 2020. We will then fully exit again on Thursday 31 Dec 2020, when the Transition Period ends. Until the Transition Period ends, the United Kingdom will be a colony of the EU, condemned to obeying its laws, to taking its people, and to paying its bills. During this time the UK will have no say over anything the EU decrees, and will have no veto over anything. Nonetheless, Brexiteers can still look forward to and celebrate two epic moments in 2020. 2020: “EU, EU, (So Bad We’re Leaving Twice)” In this coming year we must be optimistic. Let’s face it, the future looks very bright compared to any of the last 30 years, and in particular to where we all were under the disastrous government of Mrs May only six months ago. With apologies to the native New Yorker and singer-songwriter Gerard Kenny, and to paraphrase his famous song "New York, New York, (So Good They Named It Twice)", the EU really is so bad that we have to leave it twice. To put a positive spin on this, at least we get two great moments to celebrate in this year of 2020 The moment the UK is no longer officially a member of the EU - Friday, 31 Jan 2020 The moment the UK is no longer subject to all EU laws and obligations - Thursday 31 Dec 2020 [ Sources: EU Commission | Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration ] Politicians and journalists can contact us for details, as ever.

    Webber, as with Farke, is open to critique and deserves some criticism for the business of the past summer where he's missed far more than he's hit. The overall changes he seems to have implemented though far outweigh the negatives and I'm much more comfortable and confident with him in post than our previous set ups.
