Lets have a punt on Cardiff v Coventry = HOME win Merry Christmas Everyone

Think the stats have been given by a couple of others already so I''m throwing my hat in with Borissia Dortmund v Werder Bremen = HOME win Bremen have been pretty terrible away from home of late and it''s always a good policy not to back any team that played in the Champions League midweek. This all points to a Dortmund win But nobody ever picks my pick anyway :)

By no means will this be an easy game but I''m gonna go for 2-0 City- Goals from Jackson and Ward

Gonna have to go with the crowd this week AC Milan v Brescia = HOME win Good Luck

No snow over here in Japan at the moment so hows about Kashima Antlers v. Kyoto Sanga = HOME win Kashima are third in the league and Kyoto have only won one game away from home all season (and it''s nearly finished!) Good luck PUPS and especially good luck to City - Wish I could be there for the Derby!

Sorry but I don''t have the time to trawl through the fixtures this week so I''m gonna go for the obvious and say Real Madrid v Athletic Bilbao = HOME win Good luck

After the debacle of Brighton last week I''m steering clear of England so I''ll throw my weight behind Marseille v Lens = HOME win Good Luck

The FA Cup can be a bit of a minefield but surely Brighton v. Woking has to be a HOME win, doesn''t it? Good Luck

Scottish Cup for me too this week please East Stirling v Forres Mechanics = HOME win The league side should have too much for their non-league opponents Good luck  

Chelsea is the obvious pick but I''ll throw my weight behind Lazio v Cagliari = HOME win Good Luck

Not there any more but studied there between 1999 and 2002 Is Union One still going (the uni nightclub) and how about Derby Grill for all your chips and cheese needs?

Antoine Sibierski - Couldn''t be arsed

Normally I stay away from the unpredictable nonsense that is the Championship but with Sven newly installed and the chance to get one over their former manager I''m going for Leicester v Hull = HOME win One day one of my picks might even make the final selection :)

Quite frankly I don''t have a clue this week. Nor do I have the time to trawl through the stats for Serie B or the Spanish second division so I''ll join the crowd and go for the obvious pick Southampton v Tranmere = HOME win

[quote user="Sports Desk Pete"]Game is now sold out. [/quote] I may be a few thousand miles away at the moment but news like this makes me kind of proud to be a Norwich fan Either that or I''m going a bit soft!

[quote user="Gingerpele"]So with the attitude to only focus on Norwich players, does that mean you ignore players like Messi, Iniesta, Rooney etc because they don''t play for Norwich? No one seemed to mind the thread about Cureton/Rusty/Bellamy/Crouch etc at the weekend (Former Norwich players scoring etc...), but whenever FF names pops up, everyone gets upset? I like him, and i certainly will keep an eye on his progress (like many other loan players, its nice to see what they do, Bentley, Gibbs, Bertrand etc)[/quote] Totally agree with this. Just because we talk about other players doesn''t mean I have any less respect for the players that are currently with our club. I can only speak for myself but I will generally give my full support to any player that pulls on that yellow and green shirt- unless (like Sibierski, Gow etc) they display a blatent disrespect for the club they are representing by not giving their all. Long serving players such as Drury are a rarity these days so you have to accept that players may only stay one or two seasons with a particular club.  This doesn''t mean that we have to forget about them when they leave.  I for one will always look out for players like Forster, Earnshaw and Bertrand because they gave their all for City. I even take pleasure from the likes of Crouch, Gibbs and Lita doing well for their respective clubs even though they were with us for short periods of time.

I Think this criticism of Chris Martin is slightly unfair. Every time I have seen him he seems to work hard for the team. In my opinion he is doing no less than Holty is

Missed the selection deadline last week which is probably no bad thing given my record I agree with a couple of others on here PSV v VVV = Home Win

I wouldn''t say it is amazing but it is just about the only way to listen to games and watch the highlights when you are living out of the country so yeah it is worth the cash The only problem is that I probably woke all of my Japanese neighbours up at 4am listening to last nights match!

Still think that we are going to need another striking option before the season is through.  Goals get you out of this division and i''m not sure we are capable of scoring enough Holty, Martin etc aren''t exactly banging them in from all angles at the moment and injuries/suspensions will take their toll at some point So if we are floating around the top 6 come January. I''d like to see Lambert finding the money to bring in another forward- Someone like Ranger from Newcastle on loan would be perfect

Missed the deadline again! Anyway I''ll go with Rangers v. Dundee Utd = HOME win

Our fans are no more reserved or quiet than those of most other clubs. It''s the same everywhere you go, If the team is playing well then the place is rocking but if the performance is poor then sound levels tend to go down

Sorry for being extremely late this week but I''ll try Real Madrid v Osasuna = HOME win

I have a soft spot for teams from places where I have lived so Derby County Perth Glory Nagoya Grampus Also have an affection for Real Madrid for no known reason so follow them when the Spanish football is on

I have absolutely no idea this week so will take a punt on Mansfield v Tamworth = HOME win
