Hairy Canary

Whoever we play in this league deserves respect. We still need to go out there and do a strong professional job and I certainly wouldn''t want to change the starting line up that has served us well for the last few games. This is a big, big game and is not the time to gamble. IMO anyway  

[quote user="exiled blue"]they have to be the most clueless owners, ever. they seem to use the premier league status as a trophy to parade around india to help them flog chicken, whilst being seemingly totally unaware of the fact that if things don`t change, they`ll be extolling the virtues of championship football to next year`s audience in delhi.[/quote] I get the feeling that the only reason they haven''t sacked Keene is because they don''t have a clue who to replace him with.

[quote user="Better Wizard"]ooo let''s all praise the motd pundits finally after weeks of berating them. Funny how the pundits say something right when it''s something good about our team. Your all so simple guys.[/quote] Goodness me you really are struggling. I wasn’t praising anybody, just pointing out how isolated your point of view is.

[quote user="Better Wizard"]On the poor teamwork note. Our passing has to improve also when ever we win it at the back we hoof it up field straight to their players we need to be patient and calm in this league. Otherwise we are giving ourself hard work by allowing them to continuously the chance to attack.[/quote] Interesting point of view. Hason mentioned on MoTD how impressed he was that we continued to play rather than hoof it up field to relive the pressure. Seems you watched a different game to everyone else

I think it''s closing down space and pressing the oposition when we haven''t got the ball which lets him down. Everyone has been fantastic at doing that this season so Lambert obviously want that in his team. I''d be surprised to see him go in January though, he''s got enough to offer to be part of the squad.

    As for Roeder, there are always two sides to a story, and we have only ever heard  the anti-Roeder side. I am not saying his version would make him loads of fans, but it might put some of what are perceived as his failings into context.   It might throw some light on things but as there is no chance of his version being made public any time soon we are left with what is known. Huckerby can only put one side of the story but he is not alone in his impression of Roeder. There was a sacked kit man, a disgruntled groundsman, the loacl radio presenter (Neil Adams), supporters at the AGM, a player who revealed he was on the verge of going on strike and these are just the ones who went public. Add that to the fact he messed up the team, destroyed moral (players and supporters) and left the club on the verge of relegation. You may want more evidence but for most of us that is plenty.  

How any NCFC supporter could side with Roeder as opposed to Hucks is absolutely beyond me. Mr Purple, your statement in your first post is indefensible although you will keep banging on in your fashion, desparately trying to justify yourself. Thank goodness there were plenty on the other side of the fence which retored my confidence a little. Roeder was absolute poison and damaged our club in so many ways. It wasn''t just the players but also the kit man, the groundsman, Neil Adams and supporters at an AGM. His poison permeated through to the teraces where the atmosphere was as bad as I can ever remember it at Carow Road. When you fall out with that many people from all aspects of the club it is not just bad man mangaement but begins to border on a personality defect. As someone mentioned earlier - he wasn''t a very nice man. 

Not a chance! That would mean either dropping Wes or going to only one holding player in front of the back four and playing the diamond. Both would be a disaster IMO. Who were you trinking of dropping Ziggy?

Ipswich, West Ham and MK Dons. West Ham becasue they think they are so special (we won the world cup!) when really they are just a second rate London club. MK Dons should not exist as far as I''m concerned - the FA should hang their heads

Also your instead of you''re

Unfortunately its been like this for years as far as the promoted clubs are concerned. I do get fed up with people saying that it will even up in the end because it wont. Ask Ian Hollaway if he felt Blackpool got a fair deal last year. The problem is that the refs are far too friendly with the established teams and palyers. Read a few of their auto biographies and its all John said this and Wayne did that. When we turn up for matches the refs have no idea who we are and there is no rapore. In the end they are only human and they sub-consciously side with the teams and players they know and are on first name terms with.

Like most on here I think Wilbraham was one of the better players last night. Decent touch, won plenty of headers, a couple of good runs (which Jackson didn''t read) and a good effort just wide in the second half. Ayala, Drury and Fox were much worse and Jackson was a waste of space (although as usual he tried his hardest).

So what has Jackson done in pre-season to deserve a place that Holt hasn''t? Form last year will count for much more than friendlies. Holt and Jackson for me.

Of course it could be argued that the number of supporters who asked for thier rebate concentrated the boards mind after Gunn''s disasterous start. They were steering at a mass exedous of support the following year if we didn''t show signs of improvement and took decisive action.

QPR (h) for me

Shame. It doen''t show us (the fans and the pink-un forum) in good light does it. Unfortunately although the vast majority were level headed about Gunn and could balance out the good and bad there were a vocal minority that ended up getting far to much publicity. I guess that was what they were after though.

Yours is exactly the sort of attitude that will motivate the players. They will be busting a gut to proove you wrong (and others who have written them off without giving them a chance).   The last thing we need is highly paid premiership failures like Reo Coker who wont give a damn if we stay up or not as they will just jump ship to the next club mug enough to take them on.

Interesting the number of people on here saying that £2.5 million is too much yet have not mentioned that Millwall have turned down the bid. They obviously value the player and so does Lambert.

[quote user="jas the barclay king"]Yes.. the "champions" league.. a competition you can enter by not being a champion, where the scummiest of all Egnlish football teams are going gto be in the final, The competition thats putting the death knell into the game in this country as the premier league do what they can to ensure it remains a closed shop. if the final was say, in Belgium, how many of you would have gone? B*****ks to the champions league and manchester united.. im a norwich city fan and dont care who wins in Europe... what do we, as a club, get out of it? [/quote] Well said Jas, I agree wih every single word. I support Norwich first and England second - Man Utd don''t show on my radar.

Reading, Huddesfield and Stevenage for me.

Their promotion is absolutely fantastic news for true supporters of their local team, wherever they live.   How the FA sactioned the move to MK, completely ignoring the wishes of the only people who truely matter at a club (the fans) is nothing short of scandalous. I''m sure Mr Winkleman is a nice chap Yellow Shirt but what he did was shameful. AFC have shown him what he should have done if he wanted a football league team in MK''s.     The old club may have gone bust and had to start again at the bottom but that gives nobody the right to just take it. I''m not alone in wishing MK Dons get relegated out of the league, though I admit thats highly unlikely. A start would be the return of the old Wimbledon fans who travel every week to MK back to their true roots.

No! I''m gutted

Seems pretty obvious to most of us I think.   The club has reasonably deduced that anyone who has left it this late to decide whether to renew or not has been waiting to see if we are playing premiership football or not. You seem to be having a moan that you wanted to wait to confirm our promotion first and then expected to buy the ticket at Championship prices. The club in the meantime activated its clause allowing a price increase because the product on sale has now changed considerably and hence a price rise is justified.   The rest of us had already pinned our colours to the mask and have reeped the benefit of that leap of faith.

????? said - im a bit younger can hardly remember him play, just being the sheriff wtf, charging people to play golf with him and getting us relegated, oh yeah and losing 7-1   Just cos you''re too young to remember him play dosen''t mean it didn''t happen. The world didn''t start or end with you.
