  1. Ha ha, yes very true, though I do like those flags and banners. If people mane the effort with support, others will follow.
  2. Amadou was superb considering this was his first start. Buendia is back to his best and during the first half found his mojo and then he really turned it all on! Mark my words MOTD in the up coming weeks will highlight him more and more. Stepermann was something like we know he can be and a thorn in their side with his awkward style and play. He adds a dimension we need. He and EB for me are back to where we would like them to be performance wise, it could be a good season. Byram was that good I honestly thought Max Aarons had started. The rest of the team were just immense.
  3. When he is on song, Norwich do well. And today was one of his best performances. He was immense all match.
  4. I hear this as well, he definitely said 'Wagner'. However, to be fair he was quite complimentary about us. The Man city fan who sounded like he was on his way home to Yarmouth was saying how unfair it was that they had a defender out and could only replace him with £50m Stones! Hard fu9%ing life isn't it?
  5. I think that was the loudest I've ever heard the Riverend. Infact at times I couldn't even hear the Barclay, it was that noisy,. Well done those who kept up the chanting and support, I even saw one lady with her hands over her ears! OTBC
  6. I'm not a betting man TL although I have had a flutter on this game, the Asian handicap table looks complicated to my inexperienced eye, but appreciate the knew knowledge just the same. I was thinking more 'agricultural type handicaps' than that. Such as delivering a dead leg to every Man City player before each half?
  7. If todays match had a horse racing style handicap applied to it, what would it look like? Reduced player numbers or smaller goal at one end for example?
  8. I hear what you are saying MY, and you never know we may have a resolve that will last tomorrow. infact I have a small wager on us winning 1-0 with the player of the month scoring, plus another with us winning and one of a draw. I never usually bet so fingers crossed. However, we are against a world class team and will need every advantage.
  9. I hear what you are saying LDC and to be honest if it's not Norwich playing I can lose interest quickly. However, I can remember clearly watching Peter Beardsley when he came here and thinking 'what is all the fuss about,' and then suddenly he rips our defence to bits and smashes in a goal at the Barclay end where I was, stunning display. The same for Denis Berkamp and his wonder displays here. And others who have graced our ground. Sometimes you can not help it being mesmerised by certain extremely skilful players in live football and I believe it is a privilege to have seen them play live.
  10. Interesting piece on the front of the Pink un regarding ideas on match days. Particularly liked the suggestion of streamers coming for the upper tier of the Barclay however, unfortunately the club have dismissed that idea for now. Being an organiser myself I can appreciate that the organisation of this is impressive and well planned. looking forward to the upper tier being involved and possibly the River End. There's a thought.
  11. It would not surprise me to hear they have messed it up, not sure how they are doing really. However, if the last decade or so is anything to go by I seriously doubt they will protest. They seem to accept some dire dross down there without complaint, not sure why.
  12. That man is on fire and it's great news for us. His confidence must be sky high, just keep injury free please.
  13. Agreed also. The referee should have got a grip of the game earlier and it may have prevented the poor foul on CZ. He was beginning to look back to his immense best. However, they had a game plan and had Pukki in their pockets the whole game, and it worked. Again a few of our players appear off their game even possible 'start struck' with the experience at times. As a result those who we know can destroy teams are playing within themselves, time will change this.....hopefully
  14. It's the support and local employees I feel particularly sorry for.
  15. From the BBC website:https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49451896 Bury have been expelled by the English Football League after a takeover bid from C&N Sporting Risk collapsed. Inevitable but a real shame in the end.
  16. Nothing quite says Norwich City are back in the big time, as impressive as this.
  17. Didn't hear his latest match punditry, but I genuinely do like his co-commentating on the radio. And he is usually quite complementary about us.
  18. Whilst they should do well now at their own level of football, I can still see it going wrong for them and not making the top two.
  19. Chelsea had players not normally in their first starting 11 trying to impress the manager yesterday. Players who would in all honesty get into out team and many others in the PL. Overall, apart from a few lower than expected performances from some of our team I felt we performed well against them in the heat, and on another day we may have come away with a point. However, they were the better team for most of that game. Onwards and upwards.
  20. No idea, but i'll start with one from the Gunn Club. An individual who takes an unhealthy delight in being a divisive mickey taking prat when talking about a young lad from Norfolk playing very well, in the PL. As Herman said, he is deep undercover. He must be very proud.
  21. He had probably his best game for us last week and you know it! Which only points to the fact that you are a bin dipper in disguise and a grade A C0(k to boot? Now do us all a favour and s0d off back to your own sh1te team positioned down the end of our sewer pipe at portaloo road.
  22. I presume this is a bit tongue in cheek? He obviously made mistakes last season as we lost 6 games. but to suggest he made loads of mistakes is somewhat disingenuous and misleading. We were predicted to finish mid table with what can only be described as a scratch team. The way he has stuck to his principles and the development shown in what is probably the best team I have seen since the mid / late 70s means he, at this moment deserves all the plaudits he receives. This is not 'gushing on', and my eyes and brains are perfectly functional. From German 3rd tier to English 1st tier in 3 seasons as a manager is stunning!
  23. Indeed he did. I remember seeing him play. However for me I would look at either Kevin Keelan or Chris Woods in goal. Bellamy or Darren Eadie would be interesting to see in this team set up as well.
  24. It wouldn't surprise me if they come here with a plan to go at us like an express train for the first 20/25 minutes hoping, with their understandable quality to be 1 or 2 up by then. After that they could settle down, stifle us and quieten an expected lively crowd. Here's hoping we can keep them out for the start of the game then impose ourselves. Either way we are going to have to be on our A game for this. More like us v Newcastle, less like Liverpool will do.
