  1. Have no doubt, an on form Todd Cantwell could be the pivotal piece in our survival challenge.
  2. Pathetic comment. Were you at the actual game? I was, nothing dodgy about it. We have most of our team back and deserved the 3 points.
  3. On what basis is he not fit to wear the shirt? If it is purely skills based then I suspect 99.9999% of our support are not fit to wear it either. I agree he is struggling big time but your comments towards a young footballer trying his best in unfamiliar surroundings are harsh
  4. Ha, ha I can just imagine some of the (alleged) 'deals' going on to influence games and personnel
  5. Struggling to see us getting a really good result tonight no matter what team we put out. Wetspam are going into the top 4 if they win, so rest assured they are going to murder us for the first 20 minutes. I can just see Antonio and co in their changing room rubbing hands and getting into a football frenzy for this. However, conversely this set up/team could do well against Everton so who knows. Watching from behind the sofa tonight.
  6. I suspect if we are trounced by westham and then get beaten by a very poor everton side, not only will half the stadium be empty by 85 minutes but those staying will have something to say about it to the board. And quite right too.
  7. Not that I have noticed. However, understandably he was extremely successful at other clubs where he played after us (having been forced out of here for money) and it is expected he would highlight those achievements. I certainly would.
  8. We have already played 5 or 6 teams who either had numerous players out or were massively underperforming before we turned up, and we failed to capitalise on each occasion. Look at Aston Villa last night against a strong Man Utd team. They are sat in the bottom half of this league and honestly I feel they look head and shoulders above us. Seriously, do you really believe we can compete against that type of team? Because to stay up we will need to right now, not in two or three weeks, right now. I understand your optimism, as I am an eternal optimist and would rather be that than not. However, at some point realigning the expectations is probably the right course. We would have to start by pulling of a shock tomorrow night then again for another three to four games in the next 6 weeks minimum. Not going to happen. Our recent history tells us that
  9. Really enjoy listening to him (and Dion when he's on) the radio. Not only is he refreshingly open and straight forward in his opinions, he doesn't kowtow to the big teams like a lot of other commentators do.
  10. A moral boosting win is my prediction...........unfortunately
  11. Quite. Unfortunately, a straight forward home win with another injury for us would be my guess. Wolves will then eventually progress to the semis and during that match they will go through their previous results completely forgetting our game against them. barstewards
  12. It looked a clear foul to me (not sure we would have got the decision though) and the only complaint my end was why did it take sooooooooooo long for VAR to simply refer it back to the on field ref. That delay caused the angst and I'm suspect if that game was at Villa Park it would have been decided much quicker.
  13. yep just seen this, excellent result. Hope they lose every game between now and the summer
  14. Great effort, which it usually is from our away support. OTBC
  15. Mate. You need to get with it. We have moved on from the likes of small fry, £400k a week, Ramsey, to the international striker Lukaku, who on a similar large (see- massively out of our reach) wage, is more our type of target this window. According to another poster, on another thread. Similarly, Ronaldo missed starting a game last month............................
  16. I really do not know what to say to this. You honestly think we will pay half of his wages? You honestly think that the international striker named Lukaku will come to Norwich? NOT A CHANCE
  17. Utter b0((ocks and for an example of a fan base these comments apply to, look no further than down the A140. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on their stance on the state of their club. We (our club support) have often made it clear when we are seriously not happy in a variety of ways and it is well documented. In any case we are still in the PL and it is clear that a supportive fanbase will be far more beneficial to our chances of survival than not
  18. he is indeed looking superb. Tackling and making things happen in his area. Clever player
  19. Totally agree. I'm of a similar generation and can remember when Norwich would rock up at Highbury or White Hart lane and expect to get a result. The two FA Cup semi finals when we failed to turn up on both occasions still rankles with me as does the enforced omission from Europe. However, it is abundantly clear we are again at a bit of a crossroad, we need change and how that looks, I'm not sure. But change is needed. The only glimmer of light in the short term is the postponement of a couple of our matches, it might not stop the inevitable but it may stop the expected annihilation that was coming our way
  20. Spot on. I would suspect that most of the 'on line' bile is from a number of sad sacks wo do not actively follow city. However, they and us unfortunately are put into the same bracket by the media. A bit like the very few who remonstrated against BG at palace. Whilst it was very few indeed the headlines do not reflect that. It's the way of the world. Unfortunately.
  21. Personally, i fell had DS been given the opportunity of a fully fit squad (at least without most of our top players out) he and Shakespeare would have probably done a decent job by now. However, I have a sneaky feeling that if things continue to go south and we are relegated (as expected) they could well be off at the end of this season. just a feeling
