kick it off

It is a supporters info desk - so take a leaf out of jimmy carr''s book. Airport info office - he asked "how many airports are there in the world?" Replace the word airports with ''supporters of every team'' "How many supporters are there of every team in the world" - i think that should confuse the poor lad! Alternatively, you could ask him ''what is the average wind speed in norfolk on city home matchdays over the past 30years''  I think you should get a fairly blank look using either of these!

I was just pointing out that you were making unbased claims. Mcleod has pace and that is an unteachable asset. i thought he scored quite a few for MK dons when they were in this division? i might be wrong however - i don''t really remember. I wasn''t saying he had come on in the 89th for 13games in a row, was just pointing out you don''t know! after all Ian Henderson scored 4 in 4 for us in promotion season didnt he? or something similar. but i wouldn''t say that was representative of him as a player. Akinbiyi did nothing for us but has been prolific for other clubs. Peter Crouch was in the reserves for a year at Villa before coming to us on loan. I think your making a bold statement on so little time on the pitch. and everyone has clubs they don''t fit at. Earnshaw can''t get a game at Derby who are bottom of prem and struggling for goals, does that make him a poor player too? He also scored quite a lot in league two, and league one before that. I also said in my original post, if you had read it properly, "how do you know all his sub appearances haven''t been in the 89th min, not saying they were, just a possibility." i wasn''t trying to found an argument against you, just saying maybe you should check the facts before saying a player is crap. I apologise if i''ve caused you any offence, I just don''t think that can judge a player on 90mins and a few sub appearances when i doubt you have seen?

[quote user="we8wba"][quote user="inch_high"] I have lived in both London and Manchester(born and bred in Norfolk)and believe me Norwich is no different to either of them on Saturday afternoon. If you like shopping with the wife(big girlie) then there is no difference between all three or so she assures me. The city is no longer a backwater, infact I am assured by my ever shopping wife,sisters,mum that it is a great place. My sister who has lived in London most of her life(it''s a Thetford thing) travels here on a regular basis as apposed to her native London to shop. Luckily(just not this season) just off the city centre is this little fooball club known as Norwich City FC.  [/quote] oh yes i did hear mourinho say the other day he wanted to come back to do xmas shopping, it was a hard choice but he choose london over norwich. i never been shopping in norwich so all i know it could be the best shopping ever, but believe me there is a difference between london and anywhere else in the country [/quote]   Right so you have never been to norwich, and for all you know it could be the best shopping ever. but its not as good as London. logically that does not make sense. If you have never it could be as good as London for all you know so you should stop making stupid comments when you have no evidence to back them up whatsoever. That said, it''s not as good as London for choice of shops. :) Of course in Norwich you don''t have to walk a million miles to get to a specific shop. so it probably is best for shopping if you know what you are looking for and where to get it. or if you want to be quick in the shops and not spend hours there. or if you don''t like walking. if you are window shopping London is clearly better. And i certainly did hear Mourinho saying " Take me to that black country shanty town, you know the one with the arrogant, abusive fans who think they have a god-given right to compete with the big teams but have neither the team, nor the fanbase to support it, so have to settle for living in the Albion''s shadow and re-living their glory years from before most of them were born." It was a hard choice but he decided never to mix with such people and chose London.

Not to pick faults, as i couldn''t make the game today - but all reports from radio norfolk and every other report i have seen said that it was a hucks cross, nodded down by Jimmy Smith to set Ched up?! Curo did nothing except miss two sitters. again. from what i understand.

It has to do with the fact we were second in the table around christmas time or maybe a bit later - i dont remember, with Bellamy just broken thru and on a streak of form and Iwan providing an excellent foil for Bellers, and Muscat went thru Bellamy and broke his leg and we didn''t even get a free kick for it, but it left our promotion hopes shattered. Plus the fact they are scum. Fans are awful - arrogant, abusive, attempt to intimidate outside the ground etc etc. They always hark back to their glory days and cannot accept that they are now a small team - probably the smallest from the area - WBA, brum and villa are all bigger, better supported teams, - coventry are the only localish team smaller than them.

"say hello to smudger who is an ipswich fan listening at home" or words to that effect!

Vern text into canarycall - and just asked neil adams to "say hello to smudger, who is an ipswich fan listening at home"

Just heard Neil Adams on radio Norfolk - absolute genius. well done!

i wasnt aware i was laying into Roeder? i said i thought it was a bizarre starting line up. and i did. It proved to a great lineup and i am happy about that and pleased we have got Glenn at the heln. as i have been since the scum game.

i prefer   5 - 0 breaker!! Happy with one today though!! the scum lost, we won - we''re out of bottom three - ipswich sliding down the table. 12 points out of 15. We are staying up!

well we did concede late - as we have for the past 2 games - luckily the linesman saw him offside!! Brave linesman - but who cares, we won it - 4wins in 5 and we are out of the bottom three!!!

and maybe i didnt!! colchester losing means we are still out of the bottom three!!! i overlooked this fact when using the live league on sky sports!! E I, EI, E I O....

oops. spoke too soon.

i looked at one from northants going thru london but was still expensive and very longwinded - wouldve had to get tube across london and it wouldve taken 4 and a bit hours. it takes me 3 and a bit from bham.

we started with curo and dublin at stoke and played wonderful passing stuff in the first half. cant argue with the scoreline though. worked so far.

So am i!!!

Cardiff are losing, we are out of bottom three as it stands!!!

Fozzy - will be for rest of season now apparently.

make that 3-0 the scum are losing. we sound like we''re playing well, keeping possession, not looking dodgy from set pieces and lots of attacking football and crosses from us.

that as maybe but i''m glad we cant go bottom again today.

GET IN!!! Take back earlier comments about Smith - an assist in under 10mins = humble pie for me! glenn is God.

we are allowed 5 - leeds had 6 which was why they got in trouble. Croft at least tries hard, which i havent seen from smith thus far this season!! I agree Croft is poor, but Smith has not done anything in the time he has been given on the pitch. at least croft looks like he might occassionally!!

final score 1-0 to blackpool. good result for us even though blackpool are down there. is the Roeder wagon ready to roll over Sheff Utd? we can only hope!

I looked at going today - then realised the train fare from my girlfriend''s in Kettering was 20more than i pay from Birmingham which is further away. 50quid seems a bit steep considering the distance involved and i just couldnt justify it this close to xmas. Condolences on missing the game, it is a sad legacy of Thatcher privatising the industry that it is cheaper to fly to Spain than it is to travel 60 or 70miles by train.

Marshall Semmy, Taylor, Shacks, Camara, Smith, Pattison, Fozzy, Hucks Cureton, Evans   I can''t see why Smith is in for Croft? and why Curo is starting again? Surely it should be a big man with Evans? Also Fozzy confirmed as Captain for the season according to radio Norfolk. Good move in my books, looks like Fozzy has a future here under Roeder, IF he stays injury free!!
