Just reading this over an Executive Tesco Meal Deal. What a load of tripe . I especially love the pseudo intellectual guff . And some thing about a sausage roll? If I go to the bakers and there is no one there , does it make a sound? Football fandom is a wonderful mixture of irrational passion and emotional outpouring ! If next time something happens whilst watching City - I feel the need to reach for a Desmond Morris thesis , you have my permission to shoot me .

Safe Standing
Graham Paddons Beard replied to A Load of Squit's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Yup I remember those times well. Standing at Upton Park in the cup , half crushed to death, cant see 2/3rds of the pitch , “liquid” running down the steps and over your shoes . Oh how I miss those days . 🤣 -

I was wondering how to put my thoughts into words. And then you did it for me. 👍 -
Where are the new fan leaders
Graham Paddons Beard replied to Uncle Fred's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Here is what I have learned from this message board over the years . The meeting was / wasn’t called by known / unknown folk who did / didn’t want the current incumbents gone. The evening/morning/lunchtime meeting was a tense affair . Some revellers were in drink and became rowdy . As speaker after speaker addressed the throng (or it may have been wore a thong - this bit is hazy) a near riot broke out . St Andrew himself then came down and smote all those in attendance , and proclaimed that the whole of Norwich should become a self funding city , which eventually would be bequeathed to one , chosen , golden soul . History records this heroic mythical soul as “Nephew Tom” - who’s qualification as once owning a camera shop was beyond reproach. I may be wrong on a few details but I reckon that covers it . GPB -
The mystery for me is how we play some of the best football I’ve ever seen from a City side , blow the division away , and as soon as we get up we look hopeless. I get that we have a style , but how can it be so brilliant in one division and useless in the Prem? it’s not like the Chumps is a pushover is it ? Not picking on individuals .wouldn’t bother with a sponsors MOM. Maybe the kit man.

They are here. £10. Doing a decent trade . -
I'm sick of this yo-yo team label.
Graham Paddons Beard replied to Sooty57's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Inflatable yo-yo’s !! That’s my idea and I’m claiming 10% -

Survival Mini League
Graham Paddons Beard replied to Crafty Canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Exactly. The first year up we won most , if not all, of the six pointers against teams like QPR. We nicked a few standout points - away to Liverpool, away to Spurs, springs to mind- but it was gaining points and in turn denying teams around you that are the most valuable. Frankly anyone who can’t see that really should take up knitting . -
Mark Ashton enjoyed the win

Did they beat Real Madrid? -
Can’t wait to see us play Brighton
Graham Paddons Beard replied to Midlands Yellow's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Leicester- two wins . Very poor at Carrow Road . Luckily for them we gave them two goals . -
Jimmy Greaves......RIP....
Graham Paddons Beard replied to Mello Yello's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Great broadcaster. I recall on Saint and Greavsey they were discussing our relegation in 1985 when Coventry played those last three games including a drunken Everton who had won the league. “Should be a stewards enquiry if you ask me Saint “ said Jimmy. I loved him even more after that . RIP . -
I applaud you sir . A proper football fan . 👏

MOTD new low......
Graham Paddons Beard replied to lake district canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Really very simple . Don’t watch it . What do you expect ? We hold the record for relegations , went straight done last year , sit bottom of the league without a win. When your mum told you not to look into the sun , I bet you did . I watched Trading Places. One of the greats. -
Referee for Leicester

No media interest. A nothing game in the world of football. We only got Oliver last week because it was Arsenal and they were bottom. It’s pathetic.
