kick it off

[quote user="York Canary"]Rang the ticket office and started at no.89 in the queue.. Got to the front and the guy on the phone teases me for 5 mins with " I''m just checking the system for you.." then BOOM "we actually have some buy-backs registered but not processed yet.." "There''s actually a very good seat available in block C of the Barclay!".. Yes please boss, sign me up!   So now the almost 20 year wait is nearly over for the return to Carra''. Just hope it''s as successful as the last one (4-2 against QPR) Thanks again for the help guys [/quote]I was there that day, with the Junior Canaries. I was about 7, and got seperated from the group and had to ask a police officer to get me to where i needed to be!Good news on getting a seat in the Barclay, you lucked out with that one!

[quote user="NWC"]The lure of the pound sterling persuades man to forgo his family responsibilities shocker......[/quote]Such a stupid statement.Firstly, he will be on the same money as he was at Fenerbahce. That is standard loan agreement. His contract is with Fenerbahce who sign an agreement with us that we can borrow his registration for a set period of time, and we will pay them a fee. If we are paying a portion of his wages, as I would imagine we are, then we pay it to Fenerbahce, who pay Yobo''s wages, not to Yobo himself.Secondly, even if we had hypothetically been able to offer him more money, then it would have had to be a massive pay rise seeing as the Turkish League have a special tax rate, so footballers playing in the Turkish top flight only pay 15% income tax. Yobo is on £1.5mill per year at Fener - roughly 30k per week. Making his take home pay roughly 25k per week. Now Im no mathmetician, but for him to earn that here, we''d have had to offer him approx 40k per week just to match his take home pay. Do you really see us paying over 40k a week (in addition to any loan fee we have paid) for him?

As stated by others, why not buy it now instead of waiting for it to sell out then hoping to get one of the returned ones on the day?If for whatever reason you couldn''t get one, a pitch view room in the hotel would be a better option than the car park with a radio.

[quote user="can u sit down please"]What circumstances v stoke stopped us?[/quote]LMAO. LDC has just tried to whitewash Hughton''s beyond useless substitutions that cost us 2 points in that game as "circumstances". The only circumstance that prevented us winning that game was Hughton''s negative approach to football. Great performance and win today, don''t get me wrong, I''m not looking for an excuse to whinge/moan, but don''t try and re-write recent history in such a ridiculous way.

[quote user="lake district canary"][quote user="Dubai Mark"]This is just my personal preference.....  that the time has come for the club to have a week of silence, other than the standard pre-match EPL TV requirements. I really dont think any positive spin from any player right now is necessary...they all need to just work hard and get the mind set right and then come out hyped up on Saturday and let the performance do the taling. No fitness updates, nothing...........anyone have similar thoughts?[/quote] I was thinking about this earlier and had thought that an appeal from Hughton for fans to be patient  might be a good idea.   There has been a disconnect between the manager and the fans for a long time  - and an appeal of that nature might help.   You would hope that the football would have done the talking - and when we do well, it does - but as things get difficult and some fans are losing patience, a personal plea may help the relationship.   I don''t think it would happen, but I think it could help the mood for the next match, which is starting to look like a season maker or breaker.   [/quote]We''ve been patient for 18 months FFS. What planet do you live on? There is nothing Hughton could say to re-connect with the fans. The performances speak volumes all by themselves, and him making some generic nonsensical statement about patience will do nothing except draw ire from those who saw sense and wanted rid of him long ago. 

[quote user="lake district canary"]My reaction was to all the complete garbage written on this thread.  Anything can happen in these games and we very nearly got back into it.  Frustration is a  peculiar thing.  I was frustrated watching the match, but looking in on here was like reading from a pessimists w*nkfest.   Some of you just give up too easily.   [/quote]What complete garbage? How the f*** do you except people to be positive about being 3-0 down 85minutes in without having a shot on target. Of course people are pessimistic you absolute tw*t, if you can''t understand why then you really must be an absolute moron. NO. SHOTS. ON. TARGET. and yet another limp performance to an inevitable defeat.We have scored more than one goal about 4 times this season, and we were 3-0 down. There''s no "giving up too easily" about it, it''s just realism based on absolute indisputable facts.We didn''t look like scoring, and the only reason we did was because Southampton were so comfortable with how $hit we were that they lost concentration.

[quote user="lake district canary"]HAAAAAAAAAAATAKE THAT YOU D*CKHEADS!!!!!!!!! [/quote]Take what? Yet another defeat? We all support Norwich, we all celebrated those goals, but yet again Hughton''s negative tactics lead us to defeat.The quoted post proves you are a bellend, the fact that your bizarre belief that Hughton is good enough proves your a bellend with a low IQ.

[quote user="damn that Ralph Coates"]can anyone think of an available, charismatic caretaker manager who can kick the arse out of these players in the space of just a few days???[/quote]Might as well chuck Adams in, can''t do any worse.

There was another similar one, I forget which game where he just needed to direct it with a touch, and somehow chested it over.

[quote user="Winning 25"]Well let''s all go and have a bet on it @66/1 then, if sport''s journalist Neil Custis said so. Rubbish. Oh yea... Let''s replace a proven manager, with an unproven one! Tim Sherwood will only come to Norwich if we are relegated.[/quote]What exactly has Hughton proven? That he is capable of sucking all joy out of watching football? That he is an incredibly inept tactician? That he cannot motivate players to perform consistently at even an average level for their ability? I''d rather have anyone in instead of Hughton. It genuinely can''t get much worse, regardless of what league we''re in.

Absolute f**king liability at the moment. Cost us 2 points today.

[quote user="Yorkshire Canary"]Sunday yet another wasted couple of hours listening to commentary and the resultant canary call rant. [/quote]Why listen to commentary when there is a plethora of sites you can watch it on live?

I didn''t go yesterday either. Just can''t justify shelling out £100+ for Hughton''s brand of tepid, uninspiring football at the moment.The reception Holt got was a good one from our fans. I think that was the least he deserved.

[quote user="ncfcben"]don''t think olsson did alot wrong really, been one of the more consistent performers this season. apart from him and ruddy, no one really stood out. i thought tettey was okaay, and again when fit has been good this year.[/quote]I didn''t think Tettey had his greatest game to be fair.Ruddy didn''t have much to do except pick the ball out after poor defending left him horribly exposed for 3/4 and the other was a fantastic strike that he could not have anticipated.Olsson did OK I thought, probably our best performer today and came out with some credit. I didn''t think Cafu had a terrible game either. The rest of the team need to be brought in for extra training this week, and some mental conditioning. I''m sick to death of watching us look terrified and capitulate every time we concede a goal. We''re like a boxer that goes down with every punch at the moment.

Maybe, he hates Hughton with the fire of a thousand burning suns, but doesn''t have the power to over-rule the rest of the board who all support Hughton? who knows? Your whole concept is based on the assumption McNally has autonomy over manager selection. It could be that he has no choice except to toe the party line. Different circumstances, but we all know how fond Delia was of the last nice, high character manager we had in Worthington (That''s no slight on the ones in between, just Worthy and Hughton have similar personalities imo)

I am more concerned about the amount we gain from losing positions. We go a goal behind and we just have absolutely no fecking idea what to do. As soon as we concede one, it''s basically game over.

[quote user="morty"][quote user="KeepTheFaith"]You cannot win Morty. So many just waiting a wanting ! Sad as it is .[/quote]Extremely sad.Their quest to be proved right is more important than the love of their team.[/quote]There is no "quest to be proven right", just a bunch of people who could clearly see what was going to happen, and unfortunately have been proven right, venting because the board are amongst the ones who are too thick to see the wood for the trees are desperate to try and score points as if being too stupid to see the obvious, is an achievement that makes them better fans.You couldn''t wait to crow about being proven right last week Morty, and now your opinion has once again been proven wrong, you and this "KeepTheFaith" second account of yours (Im assuming it''s a second account, otherwise we have more moron fans than I realised) are desperate to try and portray everyone else negatively just for being more cognitively able than you (not that it''s much of a challenge to achieve that).

[quote user="KeepTheFaith"]Sad that so many revel In losing. The players have to take a lot of blame. The manager a share of the blame.[/quote] What''s really sad is that we didn''t get rid of Hughton 6 months ago when most of us realised what was happening. Even sadder that some people have such a lack of intellect that they still can''t see it and have to accuse others of enjoying losing, to justify their moronic belief that the manager is good enough, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

[quote user="lincoln canary"] I''ve resisted morty but I can''t anymore.... You are the biggest dick head to contribute on this message board.[/quote] That''s over the top. Remember Wiz posts on here too.

Same as the others. I was stating that one win does not mean I want Hughton anywhere near our club as he simply is not good enough

[quote user="KeepTheFaith"]Sorry but in the game I am watching individual errors have cost us and nothing to do with the manager. Get a grip .[/quote]The players he has signed, set up tactically and "motivated".... it''s hardly the first time we have capitulated without so much as a whimper under Hughton is it? Sorry, the buck stops firmly with him, otherwise what is the point of having a manager? This is a habit under Hughton, we have never been thrashed so frequently under any other manager I can remember.

[quote user="SeattleCanary"][quote user="morty"]Good to see the usual idiots out already, revelling in the fact we are losing.[/quote]Not really mate, most are just trying to show you what a mug you and similar posters were gloating last week, when we knew normal service would resume. CH has proved me more right than wrong this season. Bass and Snodgrass shouldn''t even be in the team.[/quote]Spot on. All the Hughton lovers seem to think that anyone who wants Calamity Chris out of the club likes it when we lose... when the reality is, none of us (except Wiz) enjoy it when we lose, we are just angry cuz we have been able to see it coming for a considerable period of time, whereas the inners apparently STILL are a bit too thick to see that he will lead us nowhere except the abyss. 

Humiliated by Lambert AGAIN. FFS Bassong is like a sick dog today. Someone just needs to put him down. Beyond $hit. Time for Hughton to f**k off now. We may as well, we''re going down anyway so it can''t make things worse.

[quote user="grefstad"]Sunderland leading vs. man C in the League cup is also bad for us. We dont want Sunderland to gain confidence. Hope for a crushing turnaround from Man C[/quote]They beat Man City in the league in November and picked up 2 points in the next 6 games.You''re worrying about something that has no basis in fact.
