  1. Well done to kirku for getting the first four in the right order you are clearly the winner, with a special mention to Ricky Spanish for also getting close 
  2. It''s only Norwich and England for me, but I have a bit of a quandary, in that when my two daughters were very young I told ''em they can support a local team or the team of their Dad. (No glory plastics).  Whilst my eldest picked Norwich and now travels to Norwich every other week with me. My youngest chose Swindon Town, altho'' she''s never watched them live. but I always said that my first visit to the New Wembley would be with Norwich, now she says that if they get to the final I should take her, the day before we will be there !
  3. - How do you rate the season?  As I stated at the start of the season, I would be happy with a top 6 season, so 9/10 for almost getting into the top 2 !- Could it have been better? Of course it could have, we could have be in the top two !- Who was the outstanding performer? Our player of the season, that''s why he got it but a special mention goes to - Alex Neil.- What were your highs and lows? Highs - The draw at Derby and the win at Bournemouth. Lows - losing at Reading and Middlesbough - And, of course, after the final game of the season reveals City’s play-off semi-final opponents, how do you rate City’s chance of getting to Wembley?  With who we are playing I think we''ve a good chance of getting to Wembley, but in the final both the other teams have given us trouble, so whom ever makes it I hope Alex Neil will sort out how to beat them.PS. I don''t feel Lennon would have done any better than Neil Adams, but Mcnally has stated that he was looking at Alex Neil at the time so maybe the mistake is not opting for him sooner.
  4. Yes, Fulham have a recording of the full match, I wish we would do the same !
  5. Not too sure what it''s like for the play offs but if you tried the same thing in a league match it would be almost impossible to get 3 seats together 
  6. Good luck with your selections My choice is Manchester United to beat West Brom.Norwich bet - Norwich to beat Fulham (a last)   but only just,    1-0 @ 12/1
  7. Anyone remember when 13 year old Norwich Academy player Kalam Mooniaruck signed for Man. Utd. ?FA regs stated that players of his age were only allowed to train with clubs within 90mins of their home. Man Utd. got around this by flying him to Manchester Airport to train with them. So all that expense for someone who never really made it. Cat. 1 status gives up an advantage over them down the road but dealing with youngsters is a lottery. FULL-TIME: Ipswich Town 0-3 Norwich City IPSWICH TOWN XI: Hayes; Colclough, Nydam, Downes, Cathline, Wolfenden, McKendry, Dozzell, Morris, Muamba, Meldrum. Subs (rolling): Fullwood, Wright, Hanson, Brown, Murrell, Lankester. NORWICH CITY XI: Hale-Brown; Sambu, Syme, Pollock, Wallis, Ellesley, Da Costa, Aransibia, Ashley-Seal, McIntosh, Middleton. Subs (rolling): Payne, Dickerson, Dodden, Fleming, Odusina.
  8. 08 Jan 1972 Norwich City v Fulham W 2-1 League Division TwoI remember it well, it was my last Norwich match before leaving the fine City to join the Royal Navy !
  9. Well, I''m traveling from Swindon for what is basically a ''dead rubber'' just to see a victory over Fulham for a change !
  10. You seem to be blaming them for the defeat to Middlesbough and the draw against Rotherham but if we''d won both of them we still would not have made it to the automatic promotion places.
  11. As at the start of the season, I''m happy with a play off position. Plus I''ve been waiting to go to the new Wembley Stadium but only wanted to go with Norwich, now''s my chance.
  12. Well said Steve Bruce, I totally agree      http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32483586
  13. Be fair to the guy, if this is chosen by his fellow players, those playing against him must have found him a difficult opponent,Well Done Russell Martin !
  14. Drury did 3hrs 42mins 53sec   Well ahead of his estimate and  the standard of a good club runnerWell done to him and you can still sponsor him.  
  15. [quote user="SwindonCanary"]For anyone interested, Adam Drury ran a very respectable 2 hrs 52mins 30secs [/quote]Sorry wife got it mixed up 2hr 52 mins 30 sec was in fact done by Jenson Button !  Drury''s target is around 4 hrs !
  16. For anyone interested, Adam Drury ran a very respectable 2 hrs 52mins 30secs
  17. I really don''t want B''mouth to win on Monday coz it will mean the Fulham match would be long way to travel, for nothing match !
  18. Looking back, I still can''t believe what I did for my marathon training ! I was running up to 100 miles per week and doing shifts (6am to 2pm--2pm to 10pm---10pm to 6am) I was single at that time with no other commitments, which helped.
  19. For those of you disbelieving I''ve taken this from the National Union of Track Statisticians year book (a right sod to scan) If you look up ''SwindonCanary'' on Google you will find my name is Martin James, I just hope this is big enough for you to see my name at 2hrs 22mins.  [URL=http://s107.photobucket.com/user/SwindonCanary/media/My%20london%20time.jpg.html][IMG]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/SwindonCanary/My%20london%20time.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  20. Yep, another late one here, Man. City to beat a poor (except in the cup) Aston Villa sideNorwich bet A Win  (please !)
  21. Well done, Mustard you must be one of the few on here that realize it''s a good time. I have of course slowed a lot since then, but every year I look at the results to see where I would have come with that time !
  22. long, long time ago, back in 1984 I once race a personal best of  2hrs 22min 09secs in the London Marathon, that time would still stand good today
  23. Hi guys, could someone help me out, I''ve just got a new Samsung phone and was looking through the apps to download some Norwich news and was wondering if anyone has found a good one. (I''ve got the pink''un app !)Also which app do you people use for general football news ?
