Interesting comments about Whittaker from this Accies fan: [quote user="TheAccies"]I''ve been looking forward to this day. Congratulations to Alex Neil for being linked to such a high profile job. I go to every single Hamilton game, home and away, for 3 years. 2 of those years have been a struggle. Alex Neil; A hard talking manager who knows how to get average players to over perform. He has no knowledge of how to deal with big players, and there have been a few bust ups between him and few of the non-scottish players at Hamilton who haven''t toed the line. It''s his system and I worry for you Norwich fans, your team will be selected on ethic rather than ability. Alex Neil''s appointment mean Whittaker will be a Norwich City mainstay for the next 3 years. He plays direct football and many of our goals come from knock downs from the big man, I hope he leaves because I have come to realise one thing... I would rather watch football that excites, than football that wins, just... All the best, Your friend from Hamilton[/quote]

More than 25% of Costa Rican land is protected national parks and refuges. 8.

Costa Rica is a popular choice for American expatriates who want to retire in the tropics. 14. When a woman is pregnant they say she is “con luz,” or “with light.” 15. A saying I love is that when someone is your significant other, your other half, they are your “media naranja,” or the other half of your orange. 16. “Pura vida” is the national saying, which means “pure life,” a sunny, feel good expression used as a greeting, goodbye, or if someone asks how you are doing. 17.

I can confirm that I met 2 Swedish Journalists at "The Fat Cat & Canary" pub this evening taking pictures of the NCFC memorabilia room. They confirmed that they were in Norwich because Johan was in Norwich.

Specsavers have a special offer at the moment Spartacus..

"Bassong was then replaced by Harry Barker, before Becchio was forced off after a nasty collision with Waring. " from the official website. Do we know if the injury is serious? as this will leave us with only one fit striker.

Tem alguém tem uma idéia do que o comentarista está dizendo na corrente?

I have a bet of £50 with an Ipswich supporter that we are staying up. At 16/1, if I put a bet of £3, will that means that at worst I will make a profit of £1 if we go down and a profit of £47 if we stay up.
