[quote user="Knock off Nige"]"I wonder whether LDC should be pragmatist of the year and Morty diplomat of the year?" I think there might be some prevarication over that[/quote]Whatever - they''re both brilliant & useful in their own unique ways and I for one hope they continue to be voracious with their prolific contributions to the site.

It really boils down to even hardened World Cup/football fans to join in a boycott. 

[quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="quentin"]I get nothing for best new comer? [:(][/quote] No. Just wishes for many more happy returns....     [/quote]I can live with that, Nigel [:)] Unlike Andy Larkin and his ilk I''m not a sore loser.

I get nothing for best new comer? [:(]

[quote user="morty"]Does anyone actually know how Lafferty''s loan spell has gone?Can''t say I have been bothered enough to keep tabs on it.I assume he will be back with us now?[/quote]You should be bothered! He has a small knob and a string of pretty girlfriends, surely the stuff that dreams are made of to a footy fan like yourself [:D]

[quote user="CJRV 2014"]First proper media transfer gossip, thought i would share it (even tho i highly doubt theres any truth in it) Via Greg Bird Dailly Mail Sports Editor Norwich City are weighing up a £8million bid for influential Crystal Palace midfielder James McArthur via @MailSport #CPFC #NCFC[/quote]I for one hope this is nothing but a rumour - a decent player that offers nothing in the way of diversity to what we already have and way too much expense for a 27 year old who''s possibly peaked as a novelty act in a side that will be relegated next season.One of my fears from the start of Neil''s appointment was his being overly jingoistic and signs are already suggesting that this may be the case. 

[quote user="ricardo"][quote user="quentin"][quote user="ricardo"]The stadium expansion question is asked every year at the AGM and the Supporters Forum.The answer is always the same and amounts to something like this........... "The logistical and financial implications are daunting and having come close to a near death experience the last time we built a new stand, we do not want to put ourselves in that position again".Personally speaking I think it extremely unlikely that I will see a 35K capacity ground in my lifetime.But I could be wrong[:D][/quote]I take it you missed the 1963 game against Leicester in the FA Cup, Ricardo?

[quote user="king canary"]Hughton''s record of signing strikers for us just looks dreadful doesn''t it? Three flops and Hooper who has been useful but not £5m useful.[/quote]But ultimately it''s Neil Adam''s fault [:|]

I''d take automatic promotion whilst beating Man U in the FA Cup Final in the same season.I know that really wasn''t the question, but you can f*ck off with it anyway [:)]

I think the Colney dressing-room is going to miss Becchio...

Green & yellow hooped shirts, no shorts & off-chartreuse ankle socks.

[quote user="BroadstairsR"]Who is Matthews? Have I missed something? I admit to not being the best informed of supporters and I have memory lapses to boot (usually due to the quantity of Fosters I like to imbibe.)   Stanley hasn''t come out of retirement again has he?   (P.S. I was, as a fledgling Canary fan at that game. The amusing thing was that there was a host of cameramen there and they parked themselves behind the City goal. All the action was at the Stoke end and we thumped them.)   [/quote]Third choice keeper for the club you support and you''ve never heard of him? [:|] Hmmmm....

They''ll probably be playing Southend the season after next [:D]

[quote user="king canary"]Lafferty was a terrible waste of money by Adams. Odd signing for the money we paid for him considering his record.[/quote]Here we go again with the Adams bashing -- of course Jerome''s & Grabban''s 30 odd goals this season hasn''t helped our cause much [:P]

[quote user="The ghost of Michael Theoklitos"][quote user="quentin"][quote user="jas the barclay king"]I booked my holiday when Neil Adams was manager... convinced we''d not make the playoffs I booked for this week. Sadly It meant I missed out on a day at Wembley. Something I was very sad about until today. me and the family set off this morning down the A11... passing coach loads of supporters, cars with scarves up, people waving from bridges... The expectations of thousands... at 2:30 this afternoon I arrived in Wales... pulled onto the village pub near where i''m staying and went in... it was just me, my GF and my daughter... sat in the corner staring at the screen. we couldnt hear it... The goals were cheered, the performance was admired by the landlord and the few locals... i felt pleased, but also gutted... then just about 88 minutes the cameras flashed to the fans... the faces of you lot... we''ve had some ups and downs over the years but the looks on all of your faces was superb! It made me feel proud... you''d all done it together! Whilst i wasnt there I could feel as though I was by the pictures on Tv of the flags, banners, inflatables.. what a day! hopefully we wont have to wait too long for the next visit and I can have my day with you all... but thank you fans.. for doing the city, club and yourselves proud!!! one voice singing in the valleys tonight![/quote]With no due respect, jas the barclay king, you can f*ck off with your thank you''s - from your first sentence I immediately thought "Oh no, not another tw@t dissing Neil Adams." We mightn''t have gone up under Adams, but fans should not need reminding how much our club means to the former and how he left respectfully in light of us being placed just outside the play-offs -- no manager in the history of NCFC has stepped down, nor been sacked, with the team in such a strong position - like it or not, Adams has played an integral part of our promotion this season.I hope the remainder of your holiday sucks sh*t.   [/quote]Geezus!!  What a stupidly needless rant on a great-great day. Stay classy quentin!Jas - no thanks required. It was a great day.[/quote][:O] Who in f*cks name do you think you are chipping in with your two-penneth worth all the way from Australia? [:@] Were you at Wembley for what was indeed a great day? In fact, when was the last time you attended a game here in England and contributed to our club money-wise? I''ll go further by assuming you''ve emigrated to Australia and waiting to pick up a UK State Pension despite contributing nothing here by way of taxes for years [:@]What IS stupid & needless, you cock-juggling-thunder-c*nt, is supposed supporters of our club constantly dismissing Adams contribution - I''ve read it here too many times and I can assure you that it''s the absolute opposite to ''classy''.I will concede that my remark about ''jas the barclay king''s'' holiday was a tad needless, but I was both hung-over & very tired at the time and upon reading yet another unwarranted comment regarding Adams, I saw red.Suffice it to say, I hope ''jas'' has a wonderful holiday [:)]

[quote user="mrs miggins"]"like it or not, Adams has played an integral part of our promotion this season." He certainly did, Alex Neil has had to have a win ratio of 70% just to finish in the play-offs, outstanding achievement from everyone involved with the club, but mostly AN who''s made the difference here I thoroughly enjoyed the day out and it was fantastic to see a sea of yellow and green being so vocal, a day not to forget.[/quote]And if Adams had done so badly that he left us near the bottom of the Division when he departed then even a 70% win rate mightn''t have been enough to get us into the Play-Offs - so less of the sarcasm, f*ck-knuckle.

[quote user="Lessingham Canary"]Best City performance this season, first half was incredible, just a great great day ![/quote]                                                                                        [Y]                                                                                        [:D]                                                                                        [B]

I''m ancient and I''m incredibly able not be bias and I can say hand on heart that, that was best first 15 minutes of any Wembley Final I''ve ever witnessed.We simply got everything right [Y]
