Canaries for Ever

[quote user="Jim Smith"]Maybe they are meeting at Centre Parks. On the assumption its the Elvedon centre parks its hardly far from norwich. Or alternatively Holt could drive from there to norwich for a meeting. Or alternatively the meeting is later in the week![/quote] He''s in Penrith.

[quote user="Making Plans"][quote user="nutty nigel"]Were you there? [/quote]I was at the abandoned game & the rearranged fixture. I can remember getting into the rearranged fixture - there was such a crush at the Barclay end that the wooden & corregated tin "exit" gates gave way so everybody just walked in. [/quote] I was also at both fixtures but being young at the time and queuing past the gates when it happened, my sister and I were both lifted off our feet and carried in by the crush when the gates gave way. It seemed a little scary at the time but was probably quite dangerous by today''s standards.

It was a couple of rows behind us. A guy who has hurled abuse at the Norwich players incessently at very high volume all season (even when we were 5-0 up with Scunthorpe) and is normally taken the mickey out of, was told to ''shut up'' by another Norwich supporter who had just had enough of the insults from close quarters when everyone else was trying to support the team (it was 1-1 at the time). Anyway, the guy took offence at being told to keep quiet and went for the other supporter. He was escorted out by the stewards but came back very sheepishly during the second half (having calmed down).

[quote user="I am a Banana"]Whilst they were showing the Peterborough goals Barry fry said they had a £2m bid during January for chris Boyd, he didnt say which team(s) or give any details apart from the price. Could this have been us? I believe that the £2m was given to lambert before it was made public by MF! Boyd knows where the goal is and does seem like he would have met our needs...? P.s. I''m sure it was Boyd that Barry fry said and no mackail smith![/quote] Wasn''t it George Boyd he was talking about?

[quote user="CaptnCanary"]I believe people in the US can get Radio Norfolk commentary so I thought maybe I could listen by using a US proxy server. But when I try this I get the error message ''To play this stream you need to enable JavaScript.'' I have Javascript enabled so I''m guessing I need a proxy server that is enabled for Java? If anybody knows of such a proxy server or what I need to fix this error it would be appreciated.[/quote] Whenever we stay in the States we use a US server and cannot hear Radio Norfolk during commentary (same as here in Essex) or access any of the videos on the BBC site. I haven''t found a proxy yet to allow me to listen but would have thought it would have to be located near Norwich.

BBC Essex were today reporting that he''s had a hernia op but did not mention his refusal to sign a contract.

From the plans I saw, it is only the original planned development that is going ahead (but in a different order) ie. affordable accommodation next and that only involves the land beside the river not the fenced in car park which (as far as I know) was never going to be developed.

My other half ''supports'' West Ham and we live a lot closer to Upton Park but we both have season tickets at Carrow Road and travel. Not sure he could afford West Ham anyway! [:D]

They are the dirtiest team to visit Carrow Road this season so far (Brentford are the biggest cheats) so it''s not going to be easy. Could be 1-0 either way.

My ''childhood'' heroes were Kevin Keelan and Graham Paddon.

[quote user="promotion chasing CT "]I''m backing Leeds. For tonight only! Oh thank ye football gods! [/quote] Me too - just for tonight. Selfish reason - also in the States on business then.

[quote user="Zachariah Lovespoon"]Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the beast with wrath because he knows the time is short... Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number, its number (according to Smudger) is 19[/quote] I know that you''re all really going for him this week. I think you might regret him not playing once Drury''s back.

[quote user="Gazza"][quote user="Canaries for Ever"][quote user="Gazza"][quote user="ZippersLeftFoot"] There are three players in the squad who would have made yesterdays team stronger,  Whitbread, Holt and Drury.    The remainder were 8 from our strongest 11. 2 of those players were unavailable, one injured again and the other because of his own stupidity, which has finally cost us points. As far as whitbread is concerned I have been championing his place in the side for Nelson for weeks and his time will come.   However who changes a winning side?  Its hard to see why Lambert would have done so before now? Based on the last few games he could have replaced one of the central midfielders as they are showing signs of flagging,  but with a weeks rest and such a long winning streak do you really bring in hughes for Rusty etc?   And McNamee has done v little yet to suggest he is anywhere near a starting pace. I may have started with OJ up front,  given he holds the ball up better,  but again with 2 goals in 2 games why did Cody not deserve his chance too? Its so easy with hindsight,  but I think the manager was right to do what he did,  and I also expect him to make just 2 changes for the brighton game,  holt and whitbread in for nelson and macdonald   [/quote] Agree ZLF on the three points 110% although unless we see an improvement from Lappin Hughes deserves an opprtunity to stake his claim. Will also be intersting when Askou becomes fit again  if Doc is capable of holding onto his place as everyone was saying before he was injured hes the best CB at the club, when he is fit Askou & Whitbread everytime for me.............. [/quote] I do believe that Lappin has a great understanding with Drury and always plays much better with Drury on the pitch. It''s no coincedence that his two worst games have been since Drury has been injured again. Up to a couple of weeks ago, Lappn was in the top two for assists in the division. Surely the aim is to continue to play as a team. It''s teamwork that''s got the club this far and if Lambert can keep the basis of the team together and not change too many players at a time, the understanding is likely to be prolonged. At present, I have every reason to trust his judgement and what''s really important is keeping a gap to 3rd place. Winning the division would be great but automatic promotion is more important. I''m lookng forward to next Saturday and good luck on your recovery Adam. [/quote] Just asking but where is the proof of Lappin having the 2nd most assists in the division because I have heard this mentioned before but am unable to find the facts to back it up? find it hard to believe. With our front three he would have a good chance of being up there considering they have the best part of 60 goals between them though, reckon Mr Magoo would have a few assists!., is Wes no1 then? [/quote] See links provided by others but in during December Lappin was top and then dropped to second behind McGovern (Swindon) until a few weeks ago. I''m not saying that he''s brilliant but I take into account his not insignificant contribution during our great run.
