    I remember there were a lot of people who were not happy how Mike Walker left us. However, I agree it is the manner in which he (PL) has behaved since first going to villa that annoys. John Bond (if I recollect correctly) Saw Man City as a big jump and perhaps it was. I recall him coming back for some of our players which was disappointing but inevitable. Bond was a big character in football at a time when social media was nil.

    It's definitely about him and he's probably loving the attention, highlighting his profile. If they scrape a lucky draw on Sunday, his head will be so large he will be leaving Carrow Rd via the Barclay/South Stand gate! It would be pure class if we win and only cheer on our team, ignoring him.

    And it should not go away. Mings is 25 years old? He has another 8-10 years of stamping on heads if not swiftly and meaningfully dealt with. Next time it may be Harry (or another darling of the game). There would be action then!
  4. East Rider
    He shows he shortens his stride whilst at full pelt to stamp on Nelson's face. Deliberate action, when easier to avoid. As mentioned, if the victim here was a Mr H Kane, the internet would have blown up!

    It was not actually a headbutt was it? The antics before the penalty could have us sitting two points clear! EVERY KEEPER IN THE LEAGUE HAS A MISTAKE IN HIM ! Our keeper has bags of experience, tons of presence, does not go missing, keeps his nerves in check and makes good saves at this level at this time. Now is NOT the time to criticise our team, WHICH IS SAT AT THE HEAD OF THE TABLE !

    Great effort, looking forward to it. It is going to be impressive and people will certainly take note.

    The **** above was not a swear word. Just started with a B and ended 'gger'

    Thinking similar thoughts BYG. Nice to look at singular or groups of games coming up but it is a very nervous peek towards the later stage games. Lets plug away and do our thing. **** the rest.

    I'm not sure we have underestimated anyone this season. DF appears to be the opposite and long may it continue. He is polite in his assessments of the opposition pre game, and as a club we tend now, not to get involved in derby hype. Early goals for City, then control the game out will do nicely.

    When Leitner returns ready for inclusion and fully fit, which will be soon hopefully, it will be a great problem for DF to have. Vrancic has developed from having good spells in games to dominating them and long may it continue. I can not see Leitner getting straight back in, but what a player to have ready if needed.

    I'm hoping he starts with the same starting 11 as he did at leeds. That will hand us the home support, an opportunity to give them a well deserved, loud, raucous rousing cheer when they enter the cauldron. Followed by an even louder 'OTBC' with flags and scarves flying. Show that lot what real support is. All on the small screen.
  12. East Rider
    IF leeds hit their form again we will have a real battle on our hands. There is no question they are a good team when on form. The next 2-4 games for the top 6 will be very interesting and to come out on top again, even with a bit of daylight would be great for us. It could happen, considering the fixtures. I think Bristol City may have left it a bit too late to challenge for the top two?
  13. East Rider
    I agree totally, and have mentioned the same. It will perhaps take a few soulless years in the wilderness of the old Div 3, or even more in this league, before their support start to look forward rather than back to their past. Their aging support base moves with the club and there appears to be very little (if none) incremental growth in younger/new support. Hence it will take a few more years yet for them to finally give up the ghost and rally for the future. It may never happen.
  14. East Rider
    It would be a good spectacle and probably quite impactive to both teams and supporters, if the whole ground (or at least the noisy bits) just supported the team loudly and passionately throughout the game. However, there will be a large anti Lambert contingent singing particular songs that have swirled around Carrow Rd for the last few weeks and in a sense, who can blame them? What there is no doubt of is that the atmosphere, despite the stupid start times, will be pumped up and should be electric. Bring it on!

    Christ on a bike, can we let this go or have it taken to another forum? KG has apologised and clearly had no idea the impact of what he typed. We have all learnt something and virtually everyone has agreed racism has no place here. The same points are being regurgitated, interspersed with comments from posters trying to deflect by making themselves look silly However, we have probably the last derby against them lot in what may be many years, if they are relegated, coming up in a matter of days. Lets get back on topic. At least something NCFC related.
  16. East Rider
    I believe this has been common knowledge for some time. It has (if my memory is correct) featured before in the local press. However, it's a good pub and very popular, even on match days.
  17. East Rider
    Same starting 11 for me (if TT can have his foot patched up). Not sure they will be as physical as people expect. Perhaps that is their problem? We will need to start like a steam train!
  18. East Rider
    So to Sunday. What about: IF we are winning: a rousing chorus of ' we're winning 1-0 (or 2-0 etc etc), how cr7p must we be, we're winning 1-0 ! WE'RE WINNING THREE NIL, HOW CR7P MUST WE BE, WE'RE WINNING THREE NIL

    Who is Skuse?
  20. East Rider
    I would imagine they are still shell shocked at that display from us. As some of our lot are That and being poor losers perhaps?
  21. East Rider
    I did not go to this. however a friend who did attend said he thought the Leeds fans were relatively quiet. Not surprised though considering we looked like scoring on every attack.
  22. East Rider
    He is our number one keeper for a reason, and an even bigger reason why we are where we are. Yes there are better keepers, and probably better managers, defenders strikers etc etc etc. However, he is our keeper and should be cheered and supported, from the terraces to the chattering masses, especially at this juncture in the season. We need all the support we can muster to see us through what is the closest top six for many a year. We are top of that expensively formatted group and it is due to the team. Players, coaches and supporters as one will win the day. Keep up the good work Tim

    Spot on. He chose this match to be absolutely immense for us, given his age. If Cantwell can fight his way beck in with a similar performance we will have 4 academy players in our first 11 again. How impressive is that!
  24. East Rider
    You're joking obviously. The journey from Thetford towards Attleborough sucks the life out of you. Thank god for the Attleborough metropolis bypass!

    Speaking to a few friends, we did wonder if the Leeds, ahem, 'match assessors' were so fed up travelling the A17 / A47 that they drove a mile or so too far Thursday night, and spent the evening peering through the hedge at a Norwich united training session?
