And to be fair to the young lad, he often seemed like the only player who had the slightest clue what Dean Smith was trying to do.

……..I think autos are still a possibility. Lots of ifs and buts obviously, BUT IF the blunts play as I’ve seen them the times I have seen them I can see them having a horrible run like we did. Momentum is obviously critical, BUT this league is not great. Burnley I think are making it no matter what, but I feel 2nd is there for the taking still. Alex Neil got us there and whilst I realise the playoffs is a bigger target to hit, this just feels different. A win on Saturday and I’m believing. Who is with me? (God I sound like Lakey of 18 months ago)

I'd probably delete the bit about Andrew Tate if I were you. It's bang out of order for starters, but potentially damaging to Chris and therefore prosecutable. Andrew Tate is absolute scum if the allegations etc are proven to be correct. He's an incel and a misogynist for starters, and that's just what he says about himself. Should the sex trafficking of underage girls and vulnerably women be true... then he is also a paedophile and sex offender. Add that to the incel & misogyny then you have a very calculated, very dangerous, vile piece of cr@p. Where as you just don't like Chris Reeve. Huge jump off the deep end that makes you look worse, not Chris IMHO.

I dunno, you get the gold-plated pensions, easy access to the housing market, free higher education, free bus travel AND you want a cheaper season ticket? I thought it was us millennials who were meant to be the entitled ones?!

It's interesting how Wagner seems to have made very quick decisions in terms of: Liking the look of Tzolis Immediately knowing that Hugil and Sinani arent good enough Sargent plays through the middle or not at all No point giving Cantwell any more time Heck he's even managed to make a star player out of McLean!!! It could all go disastrously wrong but I certainly have faith in his opinion.

Such vitriol by some people over two guys just doing their thing! In case it helps change anyone's mind ... their content over the last few years has been invaluable to me as an overseas supporter to feel more connected to the club. I'm a better and more engaged fan because of them!

You were right of course, that's why only about 5 people bother with these pages now, but for someone who doesn't want to reignite the debate you seem remarkably active on the about 17 threads currently dedicated to brexit.

I'm sure plenty of clubs have enquired about Pukki then put the phone down when being quoted for his transfer fee. He's been worth more to us than his market value due to his age, essentially.

I think we should start a campaign to leave the IMF.😉 https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/31/britain-only-g7-economy-expected-shrink-2023-imf

Does this mean we are no longer interested in Shola Ameobi?

A lot actually dislike them! How sad they must be! They present pretty good, amusing content in a reasonably amiable and streetwise manner..... some people must have a pretty dim view of life if they have time to dislike them! Looking forward to it! OTBC

Quickest recovery since Grandpa Bucket…

It's not over till its over, Have a look at these two The old fighting spirit is back, we can do it. Suggest the faint hearted get off the bus now

He was pretty bloody average. The fact he was our most successful attacking threat says everything about Dean Smith.

Looks like you don't need to develop a sense of humour when everything is handed to you!

I think its very important to keep mentioning Brexit whenever possible. There is a GE in two years or less and there are many constituencies where voters would probably like the incontrovertible lies about Brexit to be argued on the stump. To see and hear the incumbent MP refute that so far it has been an unmitigated disaster for them. Johnson made it an argument at the last GE. It is still right to make it an issue at the next one. The attitude of fait accompli does not serve justice on what happened between 2016 and 2019.

Agree, if he wanted to show loyalty to Smith by taking advantage of his current injury then I don't find any offence in that. I mean, it's nothing against us as a club. That said, with how things ended he probably think we're a bunch of *** now, anyway so... I think it was nicely played by all parties to not let this spill over, and we've got a more suitable loan in at probably the same rate who is someone the current coach has picked out. Win win for me.

Bit concerned about those arms, do we know if the medical team have been in contact with our resident sports scientists? Can we have a topless shot for full forum analysis? Further questions, Can he walk through doors without tilting? Can he pull a sticker off his back? Is he flexible enough to put his arm through a letterbox and ring the doorbell?

Just imagine it, we win the playoffs, Attanasio opens his wallet and gives us a bumper war chest. We buy Olly Skipp.... ...and he sits on the bench behind Kenny McLean.

As long as we get these shysters out at the next election, and ignore what I suspect is going to be a battery of culture war-related media campaigns, we'll have a start but no more. Electoral reform will be more of a kickstart, but journeys of a thousand miles always started with a single step.

Maybe by cheering every touch by Chistos, rapturously clapping every jog and sprint , we , as supporters can not only lift his performance but with enough positivity, we could actually improve him as a player. We can , as a self funded club , literally make money , just by cheering. I claim no glory for this idea....all credit must go to Birdyo.

I'm not a massive fan of their interviewing 'style' or 'persona', maybe? I'm not even sure that's the right way of putting it. I think they've hugely improved though. Some of their content has been great viewing. I think there is a significant amount of jealousy from older fans on here in particular, towards two fans who have turned their hobby into a genuine career.

And Vincent Kompany blowing smoke up our ar*e about how brilliant our ground is. 😉

What game are you watching!!! Have you heard someone else say that and just repeated it. They put themselves out there to offer a service and plenty of fans like it, not really to get ripped to pieces by those whose first resort is cynicism and who have nothing positive to offer. Explain your comment if you think you;ve a point! I don't see them as arrogant and most appreciate what they provide. Its like the grassroots football coach who puts himself out there for the kids and a bunch of idiot parents give him grief cuz he's not Guardiola!

I'd say 90% of those staying away were doing so because of the pathetic shi+ Smith was serving up. No excuses now other than ill health.

I feel sorry for Skipp and I'm again dismayed at the state of the game that they're keeping him around purely to fulfill a home grown quota. An amazing young English midfielder who is being left to rot.

Don't forget Ramsay went back, so a loan like this was already part of our budget for the season.

The club can’t win, they are offering people up for content outside of the old fashioned press conferences. Paddy and Michael can ask whatever serious questions they want there. To get a more light hearted and likeable view, what is the point of doing that with Michael or Paddy - hopefully they can do some more serious pieces with those guys in the future.

I don’t particularly enjoy their style and Jacks fan cam thing a few years back I felt was very contrived and I didn’t bother watching it after the first time, but I’m not sure what they’ve done to deserve the bitterness that some replies seem to be indicating.

Boy we sure know how to give amazing deadline days

But we terminated his loan on 3rd January on the basis that he'd just had surgery on a "serious knee injury" and would be returning to Aston Villa to complete his rehabilitation. It definitely feels like we weren't told the whole truth here.

Agree 100%. It's not like there is loads of NCFC content available, and they are invaluable to us exiles who aren't in Norfolk. I really like the TNC podcast and listen to pretty much every one. When you don't live in Norfolk, they make you feel connected in a way that didn't exist before TNC. ****** are going to criticise but I massively appreciate their efforts too.

Yep. Always worked hard whilst here too. He got a lot of stick for being a Smith player (even when signing) but he threw that back in their faces with his performances.

Not everyone sees money as the be all and end all. A high proportion of talented young footballers will want to play and have a good career more than anything else.

You're crazy, but. Anyway, Sheff Utd have a fairly tricky run of games coming up and they still have to come to CR. This being said, we'd have to be on incredible form and they (plus the teams still above us in the table) would have to go on dismal runs to get close. It's not impossible but I'm actually choosing to look at the rest of the season in a bit more of a relaxed way. It feels like there's a plan again (even if we don't get up) and autos are almost so far away that playoffs seems the only way. Relax, play games without pressure, focus on us and see where we end up. (Unless we do somehow get within 5 points of them. At which point TAKE IT SERIOUSLY FFS)

There’s more chance you voting Conservative than an automatic promotion

I find 'Strictly' irritating, therefore i dont watch it. I certainly dont watch it and then complain. I save that for footy.

You may be finished with this but please stop trying to close down debate (odd sort of informed democracy that would be) but it seems very topical - spread across all the news channels today but perhaps not in France.

The proof will be when Ramsay first appears for boro. If that is this weekend then the conspiracy theories can start. If it is late feb early march or beyond I think Norwich plan to send him back and get someone else is sound enough.

A superb piece of writing. https://4w.pub/a-message-to-those-recently-opining/

Here we go again; a small number of NCFC 'fans' taking cheap shots at two of THE most creative, innovative, dedicated, likeable people around! This time, the sniping has commenced before the latest (highly prestigious) video has even been published. Blimey, that's a new low! For a bit of perspective; 20k+ subscribers to the TNC channel indicates a HUGE amount of NCFC fans absolutely love what they do. Roll on 5pm tonight when the video drops...

Pukki in the team represents our best chance of going up again. If it is, as is likely, through the play-offs Pukki's work-rate, intelligence and goals will be vital. If he is worth £10m (??) to give a team like Everton a better chance of staying up, what is he worth to City to give us the best chance of going up? We need him for the rest of the season. Whatever happens last minute, he has never been one to give anything other than his best.

He posted that in response to insults from, and I really can't say i'm surprised... "Colotbc" Anyone who knows that individual knows he is a disgusting, vile person who tries to attach himself to this club whilst posting about wanting Delia dead etc. He also personally threatened me on several occasions but of course, never did actually turn up for any of them 🙂

I think you'll find we've all moved on, from predicting that Brexit would be very damaging to the UK to a point it has been proven to be very damaging to the UK. Given the pretty abysmal current state of the UK I would imagine that most of us are fervently hoping that we will 'move on' again, and I assume that includes you since, if I'm not very much mistaken, you've started a new thread specifically to discuss what the next move might be.

Cambridge won't be there! But he wasnt under Smith, Farke, Neil, Adams, Hughton.........

It was sublime, first time hit, perfect weight shows his ability on the ball. Think what many would've done in that situation vs the maturity that Tzolis showed. Totally unselfish, head up at all times looking to make that play. If you're saying in his first match as a 19 year old he's as good as Ex-Everton, Ex-Derby, Ex-Forest Dowell... Then i'd say that's pretty good achievement, I'm really not sure what you're trying to paint here really. At least we'll be able to see for real... "If" he's capable of putting the shift demanded of him, said above, that's the big question for me.

"If you won't admit your problem you can't fix your problem." Just think of me as your therapist. (That'll be £250 please. I accept Paypal but not cheques.😀)

The real story is two fold in my view... How brain meltingly stupid to you have to be to think it was ever ok to house someone convicted of violent sexual crimes against women in a women's prison just because they suddenly say that is how they 'identify.' This case shining a bit of daylight on the inherent issues in the changes to the GRA that the SNP are trying to push through despite it being deeply unpopular with the electorate.

Thanks for your best wishes. Perhaps i could do a virtual report from in front of the TV 👍

Nothing against TNC but I do find them difficult to like. I guess that is something against them 🤣But why do they give interviews to these 2 rather than proper journalist's. I would much rather have an in depth with Paddy or Michael Bailey. I'm sure we would find out more.
