  1. Hmmm. There''s this ex Man Utd player, talented ball player, eye for a pass, great with dead balls who''s coming up on a free. His name is Phil.
  2. Strachan. He is big enough to admit when he''s made mistakes, but passionate enough to get the team raring to go. He is clever enough to counter opposition''s strengths. Look at what he did with Saints in a short time, and look where they are now. He''s studied the game (and other sports) all around the world, understands injuries, recovery, optimal training techniques and tactics. There will be no more "I can''t ask anymore of the players" CR@P. What about passing the ball TO EACH OTHER Nigel? He''s hilarious. Only downside is that Man City have probably noticed these strengths too.
  3. There''s a reason that Hucks is only effective when put out on the left during a game, rather than at the beginning of the game, Saint. Because the opposition can get their tactics right from the first whistle and get one or two men to mark him out of the game. But when we switch halfway through a half, the other team loses him completely and it let''s him run riot. This to me says that he should always be started up front, then move out wide if the going gets tough. He is still a striker though.
  4. And I''m in the pesso-realist camp.I believe we can beat Blackburn.I just don''t believe that we will.
  5. I for one certainly do not want "plastic, sanitised, no smiling please, type of commentary". I just want to actually know what''s happening. In the game I''m listening to. WITHOUT having to listen to the crowd to work out who has scored.
  6. "oOOOH. Assss gone in." What did Roy? "Welllllll. He really hit that, my g''ness" Who hit it Roy? Who Scored? "Can you believe ut. One nil." To WHO ROY?????? TELL ME WHAT''S HAPPENING!!! The man is useless...
  7. Someone in the know has finally noticed that he isn''t good enough to play out of position in the premiership.
  8. I would of course Like Nigel to stay, but the coaching team to be fired. Our "basics" (movement off the ball, passing, set pieces and defensive positioning) are disgraceful.
  9. Reactive is exactly the word, not proactive. People seem to be impressed when he gets back and makes a(nother) last ditch tackle. What I always think is why is he always making last ditch tackles and not reading the game and stepping in earlier to avoid the last ditch stuff - in my eyes that''s the work of a truly good defender. Still, he''s a fans favourite and will make an excellent squad player - give him a deal now, just don''t make him automatic choice for a start.
  10. No, you''re thinking of me, Zip and Stevenage. I do appreciate him and his play - I just think we could do a lot better.
  11. Eddie is playing at the very top of his game, something the rest of our team cannot say. However, he is only just getting by in this league and can look out of his depth - if that''s when he''s at the top of his game, then what will happen if his form drops! I totally agree he deserves a new contract but, if Helveg''s face don''t fit, in the summer we need to find a cracking right back that Eddy can really compete with and back up.
  12. I think he''s going to play on the left tonight, Zema. I''m pretty sure Owen will play central, but they will probably swap around. Even so, I think I would find it hard to drop SWP, Owen or Rooney for our Hucks.
  13. As wonderful as Hucks is, I think I''ll stick with that young kid ... what''s his name now?Oh yeah, Wayne Rooney.
  14. It''s like this Splendid Rush... Everyone on this board may have condemned the throwers, but they then quickly interject "but Richardson deserved it" and "if you stand in front of the crowd and gesture, what do you expect?". Well, I expect the crowd not to throw coins. And I also expect my fellow Norwich fans not to think that there is any excuse for throwing stuff, whatever the prat did to celebrate. Sorry if that seems unfair.
  15. Well, whatever Mr Carrow, whatever. As for Richardson being a childish tw@t, well so he is. But it''s such caveman mentality to have to throw something at him because he''s taunting you. Sticks and stone and all that. If we had played away and their fans had thrown anything, there would be blind "outrage" from all corners of this message board. Which just goes to show we can all be sanctimonious when the boot is on the other foot, but can we recognise thugerry and idiocy if it happens at Carrow?
  16. The only thing you can think of is to point out that I feel superior to a brainless NFN who can''t keep his change in his pocket if someone celebrates in front of him? Well, sorry, but yes I do. Not superior to you. Or anyone else who has the sense not to throw things. And may I ask what this thread would have been if the coin/pie had hit it''s intended target? Are you only arguing with me because the object missed?
  17. Green Helveg Doc Charlton Drury Bentley Holt/Safri Francis Stuart Ashton Huckerby I know that Holt''s passing is not great, but Safri blows hot and cold too. I would need to see Safri for 10 games before I made my choice there!
  18. No I don''t sit in the river end Beds, I sit in the Barclay. And I can take it when a 21 year old tosser from Man Utd waves his finger at me, unlike a lot of my companions in that stand who need to get over it. I don''t care what Richardson did, but I do care what our fans did because it affects our clubs future. Coins were thrown, a pie was thrown at the linesman and a child was reduced to tears. Any more painfully moronic behaviour to report?
  19. Yeah, cos we all expected the last palace vs gunners result didn''t we?
  20. No Splendid Rush, I''m not saying you are a Jerry Springer watcher, but football is in danger of going down the long, stoney road to lawsuits-ville. There is a line - the advertising hoardings. If anyone (player or fan) cross it, or directly cause an object to cross it, you are breaching a boundary that has been there for 100 years. We don''t want to end up like the Italians, or the Dutch with refs bleeding from the head and games called off. I''m not saying don''t flick v-signs, or don''t let him know he likes to over-indluge in spanking the monkey. What I''m saying is, don''t cry about it when he gets his reward and lets you know about it. That is, after all, the essence of the game - rising above the opposing players and fans, and proving that you can take it.
  21. This is Americanized politics gone way out of control, too many Jerry Springer watchers these days. What you''re essentially saying is the ethic of being a football fan these days means we can shout "cheat", "scum", "fat", "waste of money", "w*nker", "t0sser", and much worse. We can boo them whenever they touch the ball, bring into question their parentage, but if they have the temerity to throw it back in our faces by scoring a goal in a highly charged match then we want to press charges???!! Dry your eyes and take it like men. If he''s bringing the game into disrepute, then so are you for chanting naughty words cos you started it ya booo sucks etc. A bit of common sense wouldn''t go amiss in these situations.
  22. I must say FTFW, when did working your nads off become the reason you get 7 out of 10 in a match summary? His basic talent is lacking, no-one is questioning his desire to do well. The fact is that Leon ain''t good enough, nads or no nads. He''s started 13 games this season, and had a further 12 sub appearances. He''s scored two goals.
  23. I seriously cannot believe what I''m reading here.Have all your logins been stolen by someone with an IQ of below 10?Players can celebrate wherever the hell they want to. They are footballers, their work is done on the pitch - we are fans, we (and our pies) stay in the stand.I can''t believe that some people are suggesting it''s his fault.If this is true then whoever did it needs banning, and if you agree with it then you need banning too.
  24. Sorry Barclayendboy, but the worst criticism comes from ... your lot!Just ask Holt, Svensson and Helveg which part of the ground they get most (unnecessary) stick from and I think they''ll tell you it''s the Barclay.As for the moaners, well we were SHOCKING on Saturday and three points doesn''t change that. We still have lots of teams to play and if we play like Saturday then we''re down anyway.PS - The Doc is great.
  25. Oh, you''re one of the Svensson out brigade. He would (and already has) kicked ass in the first division, and until Ashton arrived looked like our only striker that can score. So I wouldn''t get him out too quick or you may just regret it. As for Helveg, well I hope he sticks around too, but I don''t think he will.
