kick it off

Oh the irony. F**king get in!!

[quote user="Pyro Pete"]Decent start to the half, then Turner ruins it for everyone. [/quote]Deja vu.The guy is clearly f**king useless. I would honestly just pay his contract off if I was McNally and stop giving Hughton the opportunity to select the prick.

Even the sky commentators are laying the blame solely at turner''s feet for the goal, so no, not a kneejerk for those who asked.

[quote user="Orly"][quote user="kick it off"]Turner strikes again losing Benteke in the box. Just f**k off already. He really is a useless c*nt. Bring back the Doc, he wouldn''t be any worse.[/quote]Bassong was also out of position - to be even handed with the criticism.[/quote]He was Turner''s man. Look at the replay. Bassong is chasing the ball down, Turner marking Benteke, who then strolls away unnoticed into acres of space. Turner is by far the most culpable, although a little blame goes Bassong''s way.

[quote user="Mungo Bumpkin"]What about Sebstastian, you add a resolute solidity to our lacklustre defence. To the tune of Deuschland uber alles. [/quote]Much as I dislike your usual contributions Mungo, that actually made me laugh out loud. Good effort.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkx_DY8yEvw&feature=youtu.beCould we adopt this as our own replacing Heskey with Holty?

Lol too funny.

Which players? This I''m intrigued to see!

[quote user="Wiz"]Whats the score please?   TWT thing is in meltdown. [/quote]Finished 1-2 to Derby. Tyson got a last minute winner. The Ipswich goal was offside anyway apparently.Bloke on Radio Derby actually said "I hope we can win this cuz even a draw against this lot is embarrassing" when the score was 1-1 [:D]

[quote user="Tangible Fixed Assets anyone"][quote user="kick it off"]Totally agree. He is an absolute monster and a key player for us this year. I''m pretty sure he is actually the best CB I''ve ever seen in a city shirt, I can''t think of any CB we''ve had that was better. [/quote] Dave Watson (England international) Steve Bruce (England B international) Dave Linighan (England B international) Dave Jones (Wales international?) Duncan "Big Dunc" Forbes David Stringer And before I can clearly remember, Butler!   Thats some competition when it comes to  centre backs! [/quote]I''m 25 mate, all of the above were before my time hence the "I''ve ever seen in a City shirt" bit [;)]

Totally agree. He is an absolute monster and a key player for us this year. I''m pretty sure he is actually the best CB I''ve ever seen in a city shirt, I can''t think of any CB we''ve had that was better. Malky was about the closest I''ve seen and I would say that Seb has been playing at a higher level than Malky based on his performances so far. Keeping him fit will be key to our survival prospects this season imo

[quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="kick it off"][quote user="BroadstairsR"] Perhaps that was why the man overslept then. He was worn out by his exertions at midnight. [/quote] It''s an electronic roof. Who is this mythical Rip Van Winkle type figure you speak of? [/quote]     [/quote]Lol. That guy doesn''t look sleepy to me. I call conspiracy!!

[quote user="BroadstairsR"]No listings state it, but it is to be braodcast on ITV from 3.30pm.   Weather update: Raining quite heavily earlier today. Eased off atm.   Roof latest: The man who winds it across overslept this morning.   50-50? [/quote]Correct on ITV broadcasting it live.Was raining overnight, but the roof was shut at midnight last night, and re-opened at 10AM when there was no rain this morning and is being shut now as a precaution to ensure the game is on, although the weather forecast is clear anyway.The pitch is completely drained and looks good. A little wet but not even close to the swimming pool it was last night, no standing water on the pitch at all. Polish media have been tweeting pictures of it.100% the game will go ahead, there is NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER it will not be played today.

[quote user="Huckerbys Boots - Matt"] Tactically inept, incapable of changing an archaic 442 system that isnt working.[/quote]You run a Norwich website yet you seem to think a 4-2-3-1 is a 4-4-2? I''m not defending Hughton or the performance, but if you''re going to have a rant, at least make it factual.

To be fair - I was one of the most furious on here after last week, but this week I''m pretty mellow. Game is going exactly as I expected, Chelsea actually are a world class team (unlike the scousers) - They''re the champions of europe and they Beat Barcelona 6 months ago, since then adding in a few more players who are amongst the world elite.I wasn''t expecting anything but a hammering here, and I''ve actually been pleasantly surprised tbh, we''ve not played badly, finishing has been lacklustre, but at least we''re creating chances. Holty on the scoresheet again with another excellent goal, if he can start banging them in when we have a real chance of winning a game, we might yet stay up. Defending not been great, but then again, the finishing has been excellent from Chelsea.

[quote user="Mister Chops"]Would it be:                          RuddyR Martin     Bassong   Barnett   Garrido                   Tettey      JohnsonE Bennett            Howson            Hoolahan                             Holt [/quote]That was my assumption too mate.

[quote user="In Dubious Battle "]As for not starting with Holt, well that just defies all logic.[/quote]Probably why it hasn''t happened and no-one on this thread has even suggested it... bit of an odd comment?

He has cost us at least Five goals so far this season. He may or may not be a terrible player, but I do not want to see him playing for us at the moment because he is a total liability and having him in the lineup totally disrupts the defence and basically gives us no chance. He has started 2 games, in which we have shipped 5 goals in both. In the 3rd game where he made a significant appearance (about 83mins if memory serves) he was solely responsible for costing the goal that led to us losing.I''m sorry, but I don''t care whether he singlehandedly put men on the moon, the fact is he has been an actual handicap when he has played for Norwich City and enough is enough. Ryan Bennett is certainly not perfect, but he is certainly a damn sight better than Turner at the moment. If Turner''s on the team sheet, it might as well be for the other team with the form he''s in.

[quote user="morty"]In my opinion, you could make it a quid to get in, and you still wouldn''t fill it.Midweek cup games have never been well attended.I shall stick my neck out here at 19,000. If they have a change of heart and reduce the prices, 21,459.[/quote]I think that''s incredibly optimistic estimates for attendance.If they keep the price at £30 then they will be lucky to get 13k imo. If they only reduce it a bit then maybe 18k at best.

[quote user="paul moy"] Agreed, but businesses need to set prices realistically to optimise profits. Norwich are failing to do this with this game IMO as they will not fill the stadium. [/quote]Spot on. Even if they do make more money by charging £30 per ticket, it will be negligible in so much as they''d have a crowd double the size at least if they were charging £15-20 so they may lose out on 10 or 20k MAXIMUM. All Mcnally has done by setting these absurd prices is pissed off a lot of the fan base when tbh he and Hughton need as much goodwill as they can get considering the shit we''ve been served up on the pitch.Business is about relationships after all, and he is certainly souring the very close relationship we used to have with our club. If you p*ss off all your customers, you''ll soon see a drop in business (as we already seem to be seeing with tickets this season)Don''t get me wrong, I don''t hate the bloke, I think he''s done a great job up to a point but I think recently, he is increasingly pushing his luck as far as we''re concerned and is coming down too far on the wrong side of the fence, too often imo. 

[quote user="Ghost of Pongo Waring"]Villa fans sitting in the same stand are paying the same prices. £39 for the lower tier and £42 for the upper tier. The offer is for the North Stand upper which is part of the oldest stand in the ground and not comparable to the Witton Lane Stand.[/quote]They''re all equally as $hit from the looks of them. Although to be fair, their level of dereliction is probably accentuated from never being more than half full.

[quote user="Davo"]I''m not 100% sure but I think it''s supposed to be a joke or something.Davo[/quote]If so, it''s possibly the worst joke I''ve ever heard. The OP is either deluded or has a weird sense of "humour"

[quote user="Gingerpele"]So your saying the owners of other clubs are bribing our forwards? Best you report that to the FA, or the police. Maybe the FBI...[/quote]The alternative being that the OP just turns himself into the authorities so they can give him the required straitjacket and padded cell. That ranting was nothing short of mental, delusional and full on crazy.
