  1. Hi friends, I'm creating an infographic on Norwich for a Uni assignment, and I am looking at presenting a timeline of the history of the club, including information such as managers, final league positions and top scorers. While I can find most of this information easily online, I am struggling to find any data on Chairmen/owners pre-Geoffrey Watling in 1957. I was wondering if anyone has any links to this data please? Thank you very much, I really appreciate your help and assistance with this.
  2. It looks like they are going to do it regardless, so it seems that the solution is not only to kick them out of the PL, but also ban them from playing in the UK and not giving the ESL any media coverage at all. If you're going to make a punishment effective people need to turn their backs on those teams. They can do whatever they like but they'll hate the outcome if nobody pays attention.
  3. My understanding is that the PL needs 14 members to pass a motion, and if those 14 decided to ban the other 6, surely it would pass? Can they do this in this? If this is the case, this isn't so much about what the or PL can do, but the will of the other 14. If those other 14 are against the super league then it may be bye bye time for the 6.
  4. What are your thoughts were on his remarks and comments via NR1 Live?
  5. I have a few: 1. Every year the town I grew up in has a Christmas parade when the lights are switched on, and each year they have a theme for the kids to dress up in. When I was around 8 years old the theme was 'pirates' and I won first prize. I was overjoyed when Ian Crook presented me with my prize - Hook on VHS. 2. Was probably around 1994 when I went to see Norwich play Blackburn and ended up being snapped cheering behind the goal and in the calendar the following year. 3. Around 2002 I was in the (former) Fitness Exchange (opposite the train station) Jacuzzi with my girlfriend, when Darrell Russell came in and chatted with us for about 20 minutes.
  6. Is he more of a 'ball playing' centre back or more of a 'brick wall' centre back?
  7. I wonder if there is any connection between this rumour and those about Josh King?
  8. Anyone else think he is going to land a big sponsorship deal with Nike for this?
  9. It is good for people to keep underestimating Norwich 🙂
  10. Apparently Buendia is now worth €18 million according to transfermarkt, up €10 million on 12th https://www.transfermarkt.com/emiliano-buendia/profil/spieler/321247. They valued him at €2.5 million a year ago. I wonder what he will rise to by the end of the season?
  11. (Even though most of the first team didn't play) I think the lads are going to be determined to bounce straight back after that embarrassing defeat at Crawley. 1-3 to Norwich.
  12. Does anyone know why Amadou hasn't even been on the bench yet?
  13. Apparently Kante and Rudiger are likely not available for the match, so that is good news for us. Chelsea look like a different beast with Kante, and with his absence especially, it gives us an even better chance of a good result 🙂
  14. I also thought it was 'interesting' that he wasn't even on the bench. I wonder why?
  15. One of the greatest teams in the history of the Premier League was Man United 1992-2003ish. The backbone of this team were "Fergie's Fledglings", which were mostly players developed through the youth system. This generation included David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, and Phil Neville They found them, developed them, matured them and helped them to become great. Of course they didn't have to worry about $$ like Norwich does, but it goes to show that if you can hold onto them and develop them correctly, you can do great things. I think DF is a great manager, and we have some real gems in the squad and u23s. If we can stay up this year, we might be able to hold on to them, and then next season we might be in for a cracking season. At that point many of our players will be worth more than 30 million.
  16. How far off is Zimbo? I think this is a good game for Amadou to get a start and get used to the team before some tougher games come up. I think Cantwell appears to be doing very well, so it is unlikely to see him dropped. Leitner appeared to change the game somewhat against Liverpool, and he came on at 10. I'd also like to see Roberts on the wing. So the biggest issue is where you play Leitner - at 10 or further back... So I think this might be what happens: Krul Aarons Godfrey Klose(Zimbo if fit) Lewis Amadou McLean Buendia Leitner Cantwell Pukki
  17. I think it's been a pretty good transfer window. We strengthened where we needed to - quality backups all round, and three key roles upgraded (I think Farhmann, Roberts and Amadou are all upgrades). It would have been nice to land ACM, but I'm happy with what we are going with 🙂
  18. I reckon he will only be sold/loaned if another CB comes in.
  19. I think that the signing made today was essential and gives hope for survival. ACM would give hope beyond merely surviving. So while agree that Amadou was vital, this would make us truly competitive...
  20. With Amadou in the team, and the other additions (Roberts, Farhmann, Drmic, Byram) I am pretty optimistic now. So yes, I think we are good enough😀 If Alexis Claude Maurice comes on board I think we would have the potential of beating a lot of teams.
  21. I think it is pretty widely known that we have this same focus, so maybe (hopefully) they can use that.
