  1. I think Vrancic is an excellent gifted player but it appears against a very fast paced team or an aggressive/physical one he sometimes doesn't perform as well as he can. I honestly thought Stiepermann would be a revelation this season with his often awkward style. Shows what I know!
  2. We are not good enough generally, that's for sure. The table doesn't lie. But there is no refuting that without either the horrific injury situation at the start or without VAR, we would have a few more points and be much better placed. Are we good enough for this level? Yes, I believe we are. Are we good enough at this level to nullify the effects of the injuries or some dubious decisions against us? No
  3. I believe the players fall in specific categories. There are a few in our team who have the talent and prospects to do very well. Their agents will undoubtedly want to move them on for big bucks and the players themselves will want to go for more premiership exposure (I fully understand that) which will make it very hard for us to keep them. This first group we are looking at I feel contains the obvious of Aarons, Godfrey and perhaps Buendia. Then there are others who have really pushed on this season and we have Cantwell and perhaps even Krul in this group who will attract attention and in Cantwell's case, strong attention. The final group contains players who perhaps may have a storming last third to the season and that includes Lewis and Teemu. Those two may attract interest but probably not from the bigger teams. Group one is our biggest threat of leaving and at least two will go no matter what league we are in. Probably all three. The others? Depends on the final games and Todd's continuing good displays. Such is life 
  4. The two or three near me were quiet throughout, but it was obvious they were Liverpool fans and it certainly affects the atmosphere when a few around you politely clap their goal but remain impassive when our effort is missed or scuffed. No idea how they got the tickets as it is all season tickets there. However, the fact they were in those seats when I and others know city supporters who couldn't get tickets, especially as a number pay the membership for them sticks in the throat and it is always the bigger 'glamorous' teams for obvious reasons. There is a good reason it's home fans only and I suspect if a city fan was seen supporting Norwich whilst in the Liverpool away end, he/she would not be too well received by those 'lovable scousers' Anyone not going to that game could have sold their tickets to city fans many times over. Unlike some other grounds ours is sold out regularly and tickets are like gold dust. And yes, I also enjoy rugby and cricket but we are talking about slightly different demographics here.
  5. Agreed with this. I was looking at our performance and could not see who should be replaced. Although they had the lions share of possession we were generally okay and any change may have caused us problems. However, once we conceded we had to make a change
  6. Totally agree. We had a few near us in the river end. However, to be fair to them they kept quiet but it is particularly annoying that plastics turn up on these games, that's for sure
  7. It's been said before but if all social media users were made to have an intelligence test before being allowed to post unsupervised, the systems would cease to exist. Social media attracts utter cretins and we have our fair share who 'follow' city players. But it takes a special kind of pr4t who sends disgusting messages as a local, to a local lad done good in the competitive world of professional football. Again, like Maddison when he was here we should enjoy him whilst it lasts and hopefully he will learn to ignore the idiots. Anyway off to meet a few for a few before the do. Catch you later..
  8. I hope they are playing in their yellow strip. Icing on the cake an all that.
  9. It's not started too well for them that's for sure.
  10. Personally I feel the wind may do us a favour. All things considered, with near perfect conditions they would simply play us off the park with their dominance this season, so here's to a bit of wind an rain to level things up a bit.
  11. If the team continue with the same investment levels and good management they could certainly be in the same league. Or failing that Kings Lynn could just get themselves promoted, without waiting for that shower to drop down further!
  12. 100% heavy rain forecasted for Plymouth with 70 mph winds later on, and the game is going ahead (for now) against Crew. Suspect we will be okay.
  13. We are certainly breaking that cycle and long may it continue. Whilst we are in a precarious position it has been fun supporting city over the many years. ipswich on the other hand is a sad, sad place with an equally sad team to follow.
  14. As with the Man City game the crowd will also have to be very loud, very vocal and sustained in support throughout, helping our players across the line. Any deviation from this and we will probably come unstuck. There is a slight chance that Liverpool like Man City will not take us seriously and we could (a very, very slim chance) catch them cold.
  15. Once he has truly ****ed them up, who will in all reality have him as their manager after that lot. There can't be much lower to go can there?
  16. Ha ha. I'd genuinely forgotten about them and their plight. Thought they were certainties for auto promotion, according to pre season garbage from them.
  17. And there is the problem. Under our system he would have been free to spread hate inside and undoubtedly would have been released early again into society at some point, to do worse next time.
  18. Very true. As a couple of years ago he was looking superb in our midfield as a teenager. One that may never materialise unfortunately. P.S Love Alex Tettey. Solid dependable and puts in a shift each game. I say enjoy him as this may well be his hurrah.
  19. Love seeing us on MOTD. Generally fills me with pride, that and full well knowing that other teams supporters are looking at us green with envy. It was a 0-0 and we are bottom, so last on the schedule is probably right. Whilst those three may not be everyone's cup of tea (personally I'd prefer Jemain Jenas and Danny Murphy) they do not have an agenda against us. I hope we are on MOTD next season!
  20. We certainly have a special way about us, hopefully it will yield more points as well.
  21. I can not understand why their support just sits there and takes it from the owner without a whimper. Despite all the poor decisions and the never ending downward spiral they have been on, there is never a sound, not a peep it seams. They must have some of the most accommodating, easily pleased fans in the leagues and that is certainly not healthy for them. Ho hum.
  22. It would be even funnier if we leap frogged them into 17th spot and they went down without us.
