WOR£D CUP 2034
Pockthorpe replied to How I Wrote Elastic Man's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Shameful. Football authorities rotten from the top down. It absolutely stinks. -
Crnac; Your thoughts so far
Pockthorpe replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Crnac scoring capped a practically perfect evening. Another good performance and goal on Saturday and he’s really off and running. And then so are we . -
Mine came last week Rocket Ryan. I ordered the day they were released.

Great tribute - and fully deserved. We won’t see their like again at the helm. Maybe some of our ungracious fans may come to appreciate that in a few years - although I won’t hold my breath. True fan owners are practically extinct in the top divisions of English football. We’ve bucked the trend until now. I like Attanasio , but even so , I feel the club that I have so closely wrapped around my heart has just been taken a little bit away from me. Ps . How can you ever have too much Farke !

Remember taking a very attractive girl on a first date to see Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze at the ABC in about early 1990s . And at a particularly emotional point a wag shouts out “ go on mate , give her one “ . I found that bloody hilarious, said very attractive girl didn’t. She was so annoyed and stated I didn’t have a romantic bone in my body and was everything she didn’t like in men. We got married a few years later .

Forum update - Non Football section
Pockthorpe replied to SouthwellC's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
What a crying shame ! I’m going to particularly miss the Nature Watch thread. An oasis of civility and pleasure in sharing knowledge. When it’s disappearing all around us. Most other clubs have loads more sections to their forums than us. Those who just want football posts will , understandably, be fed up having to wade through other stuff. So the bad guys stop play. Who were nothing more than a ridiculous laughing stock to normal folks. Badly done . -
We were what it says on the tin tonight - young understrength team too reliant on Sainz with very sadly, at the moment a very dodgy keeper. Cardiff was punch the wall frustrating at the end , tonight was actually a worse realisation - we won’t be anywhere near good enough until we get players back. Bloody hotel bar in Sheffield has also called last orders early - what a night !! If I hear anyone say that Kenny isn’t absolutely vital for us or that Sorenson is somehow the answer if only he got a run of games I think I will do my f*cking nut.

I reckon Crnac is a slow burner. I think he’s a very intelligent player who’s slowly taking this whole , new to him , Championship thing on board. Not helped by having to start out on the wing . I know he missed that chance at Cardiff , but he did hit the ball so cleanly. I’m confident of much more to come from him. Looking forward to watching him up front at Hillsborough tomorrow.

Now back at hotel after game. Thought we were really good first 80 minutes , you could say superb even considering how understrength we were. Then it went wrong , goals were up other end so couldn’t see that well if it was individual errors or whatever. Cardiff got bloody lucky today. No criticism of JHT from me , can’t allow for individual mistakes if that was what it was. Still love what he’s doing this season. Sometimes sh*t happens when you don’t deserve it. Still absolutely gutted and need pints now. I’ll watch the Leicester equaliser on my phone to cheer myself up. OTBC .

I was lucky to have a few words with Thorup at the end and said , like you do, how brilliantly well I thought he’s doing. He gripped my shoulder and said NO!! it’s how well we’re all doing - players , fans , back room staff etc. Christ - got to love that !! 💛💚

Beautiful post Mutley in such sad circumstances. Must’ve been very emotional for you . My sincere condolences. Pretty sure your father would mightily approve of your post. And you have such great memories ! Shared memories through the generations are such wonderful poignant things. Binds us together so strongly , pretty much what’s it’s all about really I reckon. I’m 60 now but every single time I cross Carrow bridge on the way to a game, I think of myself as a 7 year old desperately clinging on to my father’s hand on the way to my first game. So excited and scared but just so pleased to be with my Dad. And my own sons clinging on to mine when they went with me to their first games. Hairs on the back of your neck stuff. Football in life at it’s finest .
