  1. Just a thought about Saturday''s game on Shackells backheader (leading to Lisbie''s goal) Alternative scenario:- Marshall brings Lisbie down in the area, gets sent off, no sub goalkeeper, do we still win 5-1? I may be giving him too much credit here, but in my opinion it was a turning point in the game & maybe the season?  
  2. Just a thought What odds would you have got at start of season that King''s Lynn  FC would feature as many times on Sky Sports as the Canaries? Had to post in view of my name
  3. £3 last time I parked there, but be warned, you''ll have a hell of a wait getting out after the match, once took me 45 minutes Found alternatives since
  4. Just read in Chelsea programme notes from John Terry-  ''It''s strange for us players sometimes when we play in front of opposing fans filling the Shed in cup games. I think what happens is that they all sing, and it affects how you lot sing. So everyone in the Matthew Harding, the East and the West has to join forces today to sing up against the Shed''. ''I''ll be listening!'' Didn''t Delia put it better a while ago?  ''Lets be ''avin you!''
  5. I would hope there is a happy medium, I know we live in the real world & gate receipts alone cannot fund an abitious club, hence NCFC''s ''off the field activities'', but when the heart & soul of the club i.e. Chelsea & Man United is ripped out, what is the point? Which is the conclusion United FC must have come to
  6. It''s over 30 years since I last visited Stamford Bridge & I wouldn''t care if it''s another 30 before I go again Why anyone turns up week in, week out to sample the ''atmosphere'' there I don''t know We are obviously in the ''Sanatized Soccer'' era, fast moving onto the american baseball experience I had a few years ago while watching the Houston Astros, where the game seemed almost irrelevant, as long as you had enough coke & hot dogs Obviously the high ticket prices at Chelsea & at other Premiership grounds are contributing to this situation, which begs the question do we as Norwich fans want to go down this route? The passion shown by the travelling support, including Delia (regardless of your opinion of her), was obvious & the Norwich chants to Chelsea fans at the final whistle of  ''Four -Nil & you still don''t sing'' was telling. I know we all have a good moan about our club, especially in the last 12-18 months, but I''d rather follow a football club than a corporate entity On another note, the pitch at King''s Lynn''s Walks stadium is better than Chelsea''s!   
  7. OK so we''re on 3 points after 3 home games but, We''re one of 6 unbeaten teams in division4 points off top v Coventry, Bywater (keeper) made several great saves, could easily have won 4-1v Crewe, missed chance after chance, possibly 6-1v Palace, more good chances created, a second goal would have killed gameAll 3 goals conceded were through losing possession cheaplyOur goals well workedSeveral new players ''bedding in''Before I''m accused of looking through rose tinted glasses, my point is, with a bit of luck we could have been sitting 2 points clear today I read Sheff Utd''s winner in mid week came from a goalkeeper''s punch which hit the back of a players head & rebounded into net As long as chances are being created, we will eventually come good There is huge expectation on the team to do well & I think the three consecutive home games may have worked against us as the tension within the ground against Palace could be felt. Anyone noticed the possession stats so far, are we a counter attacking side now? Maybe playing away will suit our style  There is a long way to go & we certainly have the quality to make it back up to the Premiership Have faith, & to those in the River End that booed again on Saturday, shame on you
  8. What''s happened to Richie Partridge, has he gone to Coventry yet?
  9. This the team that took us top of the league at Portman Road in December 2003 Starting XI 1.Green, Robert 5.Fleming, Craig 4.MacKay, Malky 17.Edworthy, Marc 3.Drury, Adam 8.Holt, Gary 7.Mulryne, Phil 14.McKenzie, Leon 19.Svensson, Mathias 18.McVeigh, Paul 22.Henderson, Ian Substitutes 12.Crichton, Paul 11.Brennan, Jim 20.Francis, Damien 23.Jarvis, Ryan 9.Roberts, Iwan   Now ap
  10. What''s even better is it''s on the Ipswich site as well!
  11. Recently our Sky Sports web site ''last match'' was changed from the depessing Fulham result to a certain match on 21st December 2003. Now having checked our fixture list, the home & away results complete with reports are at top of page! http://skysports.planetfootball.com/clubfixtures.asp?clid=45&cpid=10      
  12. They will play in the Premiership, probably within the next 5 years. Purely because TV will demand it & the financial implications on all sides. I don''t say I''m in favour, just a realist (or cynic).
  13. According to the NCFC web site GD has lost a stone in weight over the summer (under instructions). I do hope he will now be able to show all the doubters how wrong they were. I know at times last year he resembled a cart horse, but having seen him play for Eire recently he looked the real deal. We do need some of our perceived ''also rans'' to come up with the goods, assuming NW doesn''t sign 8 or 9 new players before 6th August
  14. I haven''t got a problem with him staying, AS LONG AS he shows commitment. If he intends to play in the same mode as the last few months, then he can SOD OFF (that''s ''wizard speak''), but I can''t think he would dare put in more performances like the Craven Cottage one.
  15. Ipswich match now not on Sky Sports, but still Sunday. The return also not live & moved to Sunday 5th February 12.00 ko Perhaps Sky think matches will be too one sided http://www.itfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10272~680288,00.html
  16. Perhaps we can have a seperate forum for text speak messages, like we''ve done for transfer rumours? It will save us grumpy old men from moaning on this board!  
  17. To save you searching, its here:- http://www.football-league.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10794~678777,00.html Only confirmed on TV once until end November, what a change from last year, at least we''ll have Saturday afternoon kick offs again.
  18. I''ve got to agree, Melanie''s post stood out like a sore thumb. Please, no more in that mode, but very welcome to post legibly, imho!
  19. Creasy, you''re either his agent or a BIG fan. I''ve noticed you posting about Kristiansen for what seems like months, hopefully someone in the NCFC heirachy has also!
  20. Mine is based on the pub in Little Fransham on A47, supposedly equidistant between King''s Lynn & Norwich, passed by my son & myself on every pilgramage to FCR.  
  21. If he does stay & NW manages to bring in a few new midfielders in similar mode, e.g. Jason Jarrett, perhaps it will:- a) Give him some competition for his place b) Give us an idea if he''s got any pride in himself I would love to have our old Francis back as on his day he is a tremendous player, he wouldn''t have attracted interest if he wasn''t. I am concerned about the following quote though -Norwich are keen to hold onto their 26-yearold, who scored seven goals from central midfield last season, but much could depend on Francis''s desire to return to the top flight. From http://www.myfootballnews.co.uk/news_jump.html?team_id=57&story=207836 If he has no ambition, you have to wonder about his mind set full stop. If he''s happy to be a big fish in a small pond then fine, but I''m sure 99% of posters would give their right arms to have had the opportunity that DF has had & to see him waste his obvious talent is a frustrating sight for us all. Please Damien prove all these negative posts wrong, you have been a great asset to NCFC, but we are getting bored with your ''Sunday afternoon stroll'' performances
  22. 100 games, that seems a lot, how many was it last year? I didn''t take much notice then. May help make up for losing NCFC from Football First
  23. Now let me get this right, 1st Wizard wants NW to ''sod off'' because he''s being loyal to the club Curious! By the way Millwall have stated interest in Burley & are looking to make announcement next tuesday.
  24. Is SOD OFF a magical phrase similar to Abracadabra? Just wondered, as 1st Wizard seems to use it an awful lot
  25. Then back down to 21st? Seriously what an interesting table for all us anoraks, but I''m sure some of those teams you''ve just discounted as below us, would argue a case. Either way, it seems to locate us in the see-saw band of clubs, alternating between divisions, which as we all know leads to exciting/nerve wracking seasons
