  1. It's mostly because of his shirt number, and some of his technical attributes that got people comparing him to the last player to wear #17. To me he is most effective as an 8. Nunez ..I still can't tell what his best role on the pitch is.
  2. I'll celebrate a draw all the more just to see them seethe in their $#itheap of a town.. throw in a 'Farke wink' there as well 😁
  3. People can criticise if they choose to. Me, personally, while I count myself as a NCFC fan, know that most of my criticism is irrelevant, and not worth getting riled up for something I cannot effect. <reaches for pistachios while watching others rant and rave about City>
  4. Definitely afraid of potential injuries, like getting hit on the head by a ball or something. Sargent would have thrown himself at that all day long...
  5. What costs us games is shipping goals at the back. Not even 0.02, I'm out of pocket already..
  6. That is 100% correct! Although where I live now (Northamptonshire) they are big on cricket and there are a few clubs, but aside from college kids being a little loud around town after matches, you don't hear of any disorderly conduct. But of course if I look hard enough for cricket fans who got drunk and antisocial, or cracked someone else's knees with a bat, I'll probably find them.
  7. That's not the point. The average football fan will outdrink the average fan of any other sport before / after the game then may get involved in some good or not so good antics. Heavy drinking and football are so connected, that if every football fan was teetotal, pubs wouldn't exist at all. Of course there are good supporters who can keep themselves in check win lose or draw even after a few, but there are some who carry whatever personal frustrations they have into their team, have little self control and all they need is an excuse to blow up.
  8. Stop the thread, we have a winner. "Norwich are never gonna win the league, but they still turn up every week" 😅 when is this from, 2008-9?
  9. That is the only "language" some have.. that, and grunts. Sole reason they feel put upon when certain words are censored in certain environments, they feel they cannot say anything at all. If they were to expand their lexicons and swear less often (mind you, even their swear words bag is really limited) it would have more impact.
  10. Liverpool got done yesterday, but that was karmic retribution, they have gotten away with it many times. Way I saw it, the Diaz goal was 100% onside and should've stood. The 1st sending off, even though Jones gets the ball, the follow through is out of control and could have resulted in serious injury. Jota 1st yellow should have been withdrawn - whether it is a foul at all I'm not sure as Udogie's foot touches Jota's knee behind him, causing the trip. But once he gets that yellow, Jota can have no complaints about the 2nd.
  11. I see this repeated over and over. Everyone knows that money is a BIG factor in the PL, but this is such a defeatist mindset. If we're gonna think like that, may as well stay home as we're only 'little Norwich'. Where is the spirit that years gone by defeated Bayern Munich on their own turf? Or when the almighty Man City got embarrassed by us - with lots of injuries - at Carra? End of the day, it's 11 vs 11 and it boils down to which side as a collective wants it more. Of course that isn't the way to bet, but football is full of surprises, sometimes we get lucky but most of the time you make your own luck, money or not. The bigger they are, the bigger the fall (Chelsea, MU) and the more money they have, the more complacent and spoilt they get. I watch football to see the talented players of the big teams, whilst enjoying and rooting for the underdogs who dare to upset the odds. Well done, Luton and Wolves.
  12. Did I read the match report wrong?? Adam Idah one of the best players for City, in a 6-2 trouncing? WHAT? Sweet Jesus...
  13. Ah s#it, they say bad news comes in threes don't they? Fasi for the Barnes spot, Hwang ST?
  14. What is Sargent's rating as some kind of comparison?
  15. I don't think GS knows how to set up a team with a classic #10. Who was the last player under him who we could class as such?
  16. Saka is clearly being overplayed at moment. How come Bowen (WHU) did not make the squad? Is he injured?
  17. I remember Nunez's first couple of months for us. What happened to that guy?
  18. I agree with the last paragraph. And if you stick to that, you do not need to apologise to me, or anyone. There is enough temptation to use "emotionally charged" or "colourful" language to attract attention nowadays by people, when IMO succinct, objective and direct talk does the job. Let's now talk about the "ruination" the Glazers have imposed on ManUtd, shall we?
  19. Are you assuming that he - or most people - would be able to think in abstract terms over a topic as emotionally charged as this? There is a lot of "if it happened to my family I would do x, y, z" but in reality that is very seldom how it pans out.
  20. When was the last time you used that particular word in a conversation with someone you were not very well familiar with (ie, outside your mates' circle, or someone who you're having "a bit of banter" with at the pub over a few drinks)? My nephew - soon to go into uni - used it recently when talking about a football team scoring lots of goals against another. Immediately I strongly told him not to use it lightly / out of context / with people he didn't know well - just because it can be used, or sometimes is, it does not mean it should. It's really strange, you know... People bandying about 'r a p e' in conversation like it is the most trivial thing in the world. But when it actually happens, to them or someone close to them, the word mysteriously disappears. Maybe we ought to think why that is.
  21. Financially speaking, a solid 9/10. Offloaded players who didn't start / stalled, were on big wages AND signed experienced players + players with future potential and made a profit overall. Football wise, maybe a 7/10. The disappointment comes from not signing a permanent striker (Cannon would have been good) after Teemu left, allowing Idah to go on loan to get solid minutes, and a proper DCM. Good yet lacking ambition IMO.
