[Penalties]

Afraid so, although I try to keep that dark period of my past under wraps. Well, who wants to be associated with Blyth Jex?

And may I ask who you are? (Our system won''t reveal to us the identity of posters to this board).

[Penalties]

Seaman is renowned for saving penalties but I know which keeper I''d rather have between the sticks for Norwich, and it''s not the OAP with the dodgy ''tache and the pony-tail.

Greeno''s luck will change one of these days and he''ll guess the right way...

[Svensson out for six weeks!!!]

"In the case of the just-departed Crouch, if the Canaries cannot persuade O''Leary to think again before the New Year, having been here once on a three-month loan deal the only way he could return to Carrow Road in January would be if Norwich took advantage of the Premiership transfer window in January and bought him."

[Svensson out for six weeks!!!]

The deadline to sign a player, of any age, on a season-long loan expired on December 31st. The only way we can get Crouch back this season is if we buy him.

Huckerby chase set to drag on for Albion

Dec 23, 2003, 12:39

Albion''s tug o''war for striker Darren Huckerby could drag on into the New Year, it emerged today.

Both the Baggies and promotion rivals Norwich have matched Manchester City''s £750,000 valuation for the speedy forward.

But the player and his agent Phil Smith now appear happy to wait until the opening of the transfer window in January to see if there is any more interest.

[Got my ITFC prospectus this morning!]

Anyone know of any far-flung relatives who might like a copy? Might cost more to send to, say, an address in Australia... :o)

I''ll forward his message onto the PinkUn Editor with the view to printing it in this weekend''s paper.

Gazza,

Unfortunately we are unable to monitor who visits the Archant sites so we''ll never know if anyone at NCFC looks at our messageboards. If they do then hopefully they''ll speak up now (but I doubt it).

As for printing these messages, a select few are printed in the PinkUn newspaper every Saturday.

Regards,

Nor me - this is possibly my first ever post in a non-administrator role!

[Best wishes to Alex Notman]

Such a shame that someone with so much talent and potential has had to retire at such a young age, and all from blocking a free-kick!

Best of luck with whatever you decide to do Alex.

[NCST launch Reach for the Stars Appeal]

Norwich City Supporters Trust has been looking to mount a major drive for additional membership both individual and corporate and a definitive scheme was about to be launched. However, the mounting groundswell of fans desire to retain Darren Huckerby has presented an opportunity for us to take a different approach from that originally envisaged.

We as a Trust do not believe that sufficient monies could be raised for this specific player and in any event, for a whole host of reasons it may become impractical or undesirable to Norwich City Football Club. The Trust insists that all monies raised for the Football Club are exchanged for shares in the Club thus building toward our ultimate aim of holding sufficient shares for representation on the Board. We cannot and would not try to dictate how the Club uses these monies.

Whilst the signing of Huckerby may be highly desirable and a popular decision, we at the Trust do not wish to be directly associated with any campaign specifically aimed at any individual player. We have therefore devised an appeal name that provides a vehicle for fans wishing to give money but without making promises that cannot be achieved.

There has been a mounting groundswell in recent days from fans offering to help and Norwich City Supporters Trust are delighted to announce the launch of their "Reach For The Stars Appeal". Whilst signing any specific player may catch the imagination of the fans, for a whole host of reasons this may be neither possible or ultimately desirable by the Football Club.

[Players Not Performing]

Jamie joined Busan Icons in South Korea after rejecting the offer of a new contract with Reading before the start of the current season. He rejected some offers from English clubs but later admitted that if Norwich had come in for him then he would''ve signed for us.
