    They are. 3rd in League One, best they’ve done in 20 years 😏

    What are they complaining about. Don’t know they’re born…

    Now that's not true. The had a 6th place finish in the Championship.... They lost the playoff semi though I seem to recall... I love the fact that the only good season they had in 20 years was ended by us beating them on the way to winning at Wembley.

    Wagner is tailor-made for us. But nobody knew he was going to be the replacement when making judgements about Smith on dodgy logic throughout the season and undermining the mood in the process.

    Hard to say it's dodgy logic when it's been proven correct. I think the term you're looking for is "fundamentally sound" logic. Quite why you feel the need to parade and attention seek after another good win is beyond me. Just enjoy it...

    Just back from the game.

    Cracking win, albeit we made it hard for ourselves after a blistering start.

    Can't believe what a different atmosphere it is with Wagner at the wheel. Ciy Elite were very effective at keeping noise levels up aside from the 15 mins before half time. I've always been anti-drum but actually felt like it added something today. I'm now a convert.

    Really enjoyed the whole game and matchday experience. It FINALLY feels like we've got our ****ing club back again. The connection is there. The atmosphere is back. The goals are back. The pride is back. The respect is back. Everything Smith worked so hard to diminish or destroy has been restored in all it's glory by Wagner and his magic wand.

    Omabamidele at fault for the 2nd, the first is difficult to pin on anyone, once the cross went in there wasn't much anyone could do to stop the goal, but it doesn't really matter when you score 4 every game.

    Burnley should be ****ting themselves even with a 20 point head start.

    I last went there in the Lambert promotion season. It was minus 12°c when the coach left Norwich but they had a heated pitch so all should have been well. When the groundsman got there at 9.00 am he realised he'd forgotten to turn it on 😂 Fortunately it defrosted in time and Holty did a wonderful goal celebration in a pile of snow💛💚

    Wasn't it called off originally and rescheduled? I remember going to a game around that time and it being cancelled an hour before kick off just as we arrived in the vicinity of the ground. Would have been cov or west brom I would have thought.

    Edit: ignore me, I immediately after posting realised it was actually Walsall I think.

    Anyone think its about time we brought back the yellow wall pre-game when the players come out the tunnel?

    Il be there, scarf in hand. 

    Anyone else who is going, please do the same and let's get that atmosphere going for the lads right from the start.

    Update: this is officially a thing now and is happening on sat.

    Anyone on twitter etc please pass on to TNC Chris and Jack, ACN got on board as soon as I emailed.

    The only link which makes sense so far is Blackburn.  I really do not see why PSV would be interested even Rangers, does that really make sense?  Equally what do I know.

    It can not make sense to you but I mean, the rangers manager has literally been commenting on it confirming they're interested sooooo....Screenshot_20230115_211542_Chrome.thumb.jpg.bc5904e0f5aa6f2f34b1766a6bbf57fe.jpg

    I've been consumed by running the sound for two performances of a pantomime today (oh no I wasn't), but what a cracking result.

    If Norwich are winning, I'm happy. Look forward to taking in the highlights. OTBC.

    Fair enough, we were on fire first half, it was so very different to what we've seen for the last year. Im optimistic about this bejnt the start of a bright new era. Glad your panto went well 👍

    From the NFC I'm mainly concerned about the 49ers. Dak is playing poorly enough that he'll give teams a chance v the Cowboys, the Vikings are chokers and Tampa don't bring much to the party.

    On the AFC side there are 3 excellent teams- Bills, Chiefs and Bengals, while the Chargers have found form at the right time.

    I will say this playoff slate is a great argument against the expansion to 14 teams. Did anyone really need to watch the Dolphins on their 3rd string QB or the Seahawks in the playoffs? Feels like it dilutes the quality.

    Dak was absolutely horrific against us on Sunday. Genuinely one of the worst performances I've ever seen from any Quarterback... and I'm a washington fan so that's a deep pool I'm drawing from 😂 The Cowboys in general sucked to be fair. Micah is a disruptor and on his day can be a dominant force but aside from that they're really not as good as their record suggests. Their DL couldn't get near our rookie QB on Sunday (played well and should be competing to be our QB1 next year, he looked good enough to be in that conversation but obv small sample size)... in fact, he scored a rushing TD by literally trucking through about 5 cowboy defenders.

    Cousins has always been a choker. His prime time record is disgusting. I wouldn't worry about the Vikes.

    Eagles or Niners are the best teams in conference and one of them absolutely should be the NFC representative in the Superbowl.

    Josh Allen will be a problem for every team. Him and Hurts are by far the best performing QBs this season. Whoever makes it to the big show from the NFC should be praying that some other team knocks him out on the way.

    Agree on the playoff expansion. Its not something that needed to happen and don't think it benefits the league.

    I'd take Musialowski to give us a creative spark. 19 year old, can play across the wings or as a number 10.

    Quick af, and an outstanding dribbler. Decent finisher too, scores quite a lot of goals. Been nicknamed "Polish Messi" and you can see why (not proclaiming him to be a future ballon d'or winner or anything, but his playing style is VERY similar, ability level obviously not on par).

    Never been tested at a real level of football, but more than worth a punt given his potential.

    he's a Klopp acolyte (remember also that he and Klopp were teammates as players at Mainz), so his teams will chase much harder to get it rather than purely focus on a shape.

    I read somewhere that contrary to him just being a klopp acolyte, he and klopp were room-mates and this system came about as they had long in depth discussions about the way they thought Football should be played. This system is as much Wagner as Klopp, its just klopp has had more success and therefore given the credit for it.
