7/2. Bet365.

First rule of comedy Pig is keep it real. No bookie on earth would take a single odds on football bet so that the punter walked with a “six figure sum”. Must try harder .

It wasn’t widely broadcast just how injury hit Everton were. I only realised when I spoke to a family member that went .

No Til , I was responding to the specific mention of how Trusts work. I don’t know if there is / will be one .

Not strictly true. The trustees have to administer the trust . Not necessarily in the “best interests” of the beneficiaries. Trusts are set up for a variety of reasons. IHT is a common one but so is a fear that the beneficiaries will not spend the subject of the trust ( usually money) wisely . The trust may have certain criteria - coming of age , or incremental payments ie the subject of the trust does not pass all at once . Shares can often be left in trust with a plan to protect a company as well as providing for the beneficiaries. The are many and varied reasons to set up a Trust . An interesting start would be to know who the trustees are.

Some of us did GE as part of our English O Level, Purple. It remains in my brain even though I hoped to have kicked it out years ago. Whilst correct that Miss H was Jilted , and refused to the take the damn dress off - her subsequent stubbornness is analogous of Miss Smith . I just thought, imagine pairing off Estella and Nephew Tom .

Parma - that is a great , and very surprising read. Surprising as you have (apologies) stated the obvious (selling Buendia , Farke’s philosophy overcomes weaker teams) without the over complication that I have been critical of in the past. I suspect that as you have said it , it may not attract the vitriol that others may have received . I , like many in business, have fears around the Miss Haversham reference . It isn’t entirely fair , but the refusal to see any way other than the current way does seem accurate which is a pity . I’m so disappointed. I had high expectations for the seasons. I don’t follow European football so the signings meant little to me . I hoped the players were more Buendia than Heise . They may still be , but so far they are not. My analogy of Farke is a job interview / CV scenario. DF arrives for a job at a high end job in any industry. The shareholders and their directors are looking for the best person to take the organisation forward. DF opens his pitch by saying he has had exemplary success in the lower reaches of the industry or environment in question. So far so good . But when asked about his successes at the level the organisation is currently operating in , DF has to concede he has had no success. The organisation, and all of its stakeholders is faced with a fairly simple decision . Farke has grown with Norwich and vice versa . There is genuine love for him. But his demonstrable inability to compete at this level is currently in question . But a you say , this is not the main issue of why Norwich find ourselves where we are . Good , but troubling , read Parma.

Yes , but apart from that ?

Point against Sheff Wed today? What ya reckon?

Bingo !!! I claim my fiver .

Let’s hope he is still coming back from the game. It would be good if one of his many lectures was given after he has actually been to a match.

Newly promoted sides can’t possibly get anything against Liverpool …

I don’t think it’s about changing your mind . It’s about the facts occurring at the time you form your opinion. We go up . We play outstanding football in achieving the title . Farke deserves the plaudits. We go down . We have an unprecedented run of results at the end of the season , and go down with a wimper We go back up. We play , in my opinion , even better football than the previous championship winning side . And then we lose 6 in a row. The coach has not demonstrated at any time his ability to consistently compete in the league . I have no idea why you win the chumps - which is not pushover league- but are just so hopeless in the Prem. The question is …. How long can you leave it ? I don’t know , but I do know that the Club is a professional organisation that simply cannot accept failure over and over again. There has to be a line . Depends where the Board thinks that line is .

Told you before . The first 10 don’t count . Football was different for Norwich due to the restart. The next 4 were teams that we were never going to beat . Next - well we had a lot of new players so that doesn’t count either . Next (today) ….. oh I really can’t be ars ed anymore . It’s a shocking stat whatever anyone says.

Do they Winnalot?

We expect to lose. We lose . No set up in any environment can accept this much longer . What the hell we do isn’t clear. However you can’t keep turning up , losing , and going home . So incredibly disappointing.

Maybe his Dad? Might help ? 😂

Is David Coote . 3 prem matches this year - no appearances in games involving the “big six” so once again a referee not deemed good enough to ref Man City , Liverpool or Man Utd this season is deemed fit for Norwich Everton. 3 games and 15 yellows. Expect a few cards - wouldn’t surprise me to see a red today . Two positives Is at least an established Prem ref did the vast majority of his games in the top flight last year isn’t Robert Jones- who has hit the dizzy heights of 4th Official for Man City / Chelsea .

Personally Waz I think some folk are an entire 900 g of Aldi Four Seasons frozen peas short , with an added shortage of chicken, gravy (and some nice root vegetables )

Does anyone know who the trustees of said trust are?

Sorry Folks , just trying to catch up on things. Taken me a while to get through Chickens post about some men in macs. Didn’t really get it TBH - it might be a bit intellectual for me . So , anyway , anyone know what’s up with Todd?

Me . I got complacent and listened to numpties who promised me everything would be alright . I should never have listened . And I should never have changed my socks from last year .

To celebrate I will turn to Lord Lucan who has just ridden in on Shergar , and shake him warmly by the hand .

Referred to as the "John Bull" canary, the Norwich Canary has a rather robust appearance, averaging 6.5" in length, with a thick neck and a large head. A six feet 5 Canary? We should stick a couple in the back four , and one up front?
