[quote user="flecky76"]I do think we are selling Holt a year too soon. There are a whole list of clubs out there who believe, just when they think they''ve got his league cracked and can finally move forward, it comes back to bite them. If Holt leaves, then the sum total of PL goals between our existing strike force will be NIL. We so needed Holt to help bridge that gap between existing and new incoming strikers IMHO.[/quote] Good grief, it''s a football team not a synchronised swimming troupe. If highly paid players can''t sort themselves on the pitch there''s something wrong about the whole set up.

Harry, watching Gorleston in the 60s, do you remember the bloke who used to pretend to be the lino? I want to say we called him mad Willy, but I''m not sure. Good memories of the old Rec. Was a tanner to get in but five minutes after the start of the game you could stroll in for free and spend your ill-gotten sixpence on a half time Bovril. Happy days.

All four "experts" on Soccer Saturday had us down for a defeat, Charlie Nicholas even predicting 3-1. What do they know?

This internet chat about cooking references is all pie in the sky.

I sent you an email a while ago, did you get it, if not I''ll resend.

I think you''ll have to be the last one as they have to be done in real time and most of my weekend it seems, will be running my DVD recorder!

Would appreciate if you could do a copy for Smudger Tim. I''ve sent you an email about it and as they have to be done in real time and it''s 3hrs, I don''t really want to run off many copies.  

I can do it for you mate if the other poster doesn''t have any joy. Providing it''s not copywritten of course, I''m pretty certain it''s not. I''ve got the full 3 hour prog, build up and post match celebrations. Best avert your eyes when Russell Martin appears in his undies though!  Not in HD unfortunately.  I''ll bounce this post to the top if and when successful, or you can post your email or mobile number on here.

What did we do before the internet? Every second of everything NCFC, every snippet of news or gossip, every emotion, highs or low, every permutation, every prediction are all laid bare for us to consume 24 hours a day. We can now read ALL the newspaper match reports without leaving the house and even read what other club''s fans and managers think of us by going on their boards, but does it make you even more nervous in these days of high excitement, or do you take comfort and solace in the fact that we all feel the same, we''re all in this together with feelings ranging from deep joy and pride at our current situation, to high anxiety about what may unfold in the next few days. Years ago, we''d just switch off after games, buy a Pink''un, read the back page of the EDP in the newsagent, chat down the pub and then watch Match Of The Week. (Gerry Harrison was always so calm.) Now though, there''s no escape from this "torture" except for taking the dog on the beach or going to a garden centre. No dog, no garden? Well, just turn on your PC and join in with everyone else on here who''s suffering, it''ll make you feel better. Or will it?

Those Were The Days. If you''re over 60 you may JUST remember Town''s glory years, which eliminates 99.9% of their posters.

Never mind, the Late Football show returns tomorrow for much more professional broadcasters!!

[quote user="Cluckbert Chase"] "the fact that we have spent around 50 out of 51 years in this division", Meanwhile the club''s pious ''saviour'' and her flock consider we are experiencing a period of success......... Laughable. [/quote] Or higher

After the games finished yesterday and Jeff announced "a look at the tables," he described us as "the new boys up to forth place." Whilst "new boys" is indeed true for this season, the fact that we have spent around 50 out of 51 years in this division, or higher, I reckon he was having a bit of a giraffe. I love him. 

Patrick Boyle.

A few years ago there was a strong rumour that Andy Marshall once blamed himself for conceding a goal. I mean come on, some rumours are just too ridiculous.

Can''t help but notice the overall decline in crowd figures across the leagues for the start of this season. While our own crowds are very healthy, there must a few eyebrows being raised about just why they haven''t been selling out at Carrow Road. Man City against Liverpool the other night was nowhere near a sellout, Newcastle, for their first home game back in the Prem was I believe, 7-8000 below capacity. Wigan (yes I know) on Sunday against Chelsea had vast swathes of empty seats. There''s top players on view at these matches. You cannot pin it all down to holidays, I think the combination of this recession we''ve had (having) and in my view more likely, the fallout from our World Cup "efforts" is finally bringing the chickens home to roost. In short, a lot of people have had enough of paying through the snout to watch overpaid foreigners fall over and are voting, at last, with their feet.

Pesky annoying brainless parasites appearing every time we wear the shirts? Well I wore mine all day yesterday and didn''t see a Town fan anywhere.

Martin Peters or at a push, Ron Davies.

Oh, and thank you for living in Oldham so we don''t have to.

Couldn''t we have played the diamond with Oli in there instead of Wes?

I go with my son to all the home matches and several away. No tantrums, no crisps, no drinks, no ipods or gameboys, no " I want a toilet" when he''s bored. If he can sit still and not be annoying, anybody''s offspring should be able to. Mind you, my son is 32.

Anyone else remember that, 2nd or 3rd game into this campaign, when we were at our lowest ebb and still had Gunn in charge, Paul Merson stated on a Sky Soccer Special that "in his opinion, the team that finished one place below Norwich this season would be promoted". (Or words to that effect!) He was mocked of course but I''d love to hear him remind the rest of the panel of his comments when we are finally promoted as Champions. (I know I know but come on everybody, we all know it''s a formality). The bloke''s a genius and I love him to bits, (in a manly way of course.)

Will Danny Wilson manage to do Lambert''s team talk for him again? He made a pretty good job of it last time we met.

and we''re allowing a bit of arrogance to creep into the posts, I would just like to say that one team this season we have yet to play at home is MK Dons and I would love us to stick it up them big time.

IF you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, you probably haven''t grasped the real situation.
