  1. [quote user="Strawberry"][quote user="jewish"]2 things 1. excellent signing 2. all the moaning idiots complaining about its only a loan take into account hes 34, not match fit and scoring record is not the greatest so doesnt commit all our resources in one pot! [/quote] lol try and spot the contradiction between 1 and 2   [/quote]if this bloke was being serious at the time, please can I be the first to nominate it for ''post of the year''..its the sort of thing you''d love to hear on barry call
  2. completely agree with mister chops, it seems most people actually watched the same game for a change, though for me lupoli was brought off at the right time, the bloke was knackered about 35mins in the first halve and it showed as gradually brum got back into as he stopped chasing the balls...if we can get a decent target man alongside him our team will be extremely impressive, but i''d still have russell someone, gives us that much needed bite
  3. huh? how does that make sense, and i''m afraid football transfers aren''t that simple...who knows whether the rumoured £1mill is all upfront or installements, the board will probably let roeder have about 75% of the money to spend again plus roeder said he would bring in another defender if he leaves (dont quite know why when we have the greek myth and doherty when he returns) but we have about 750k to spend on a striker i say
  4. Going by GR''s latests comments there is no way we have £1million in the kity to spend, by the sounds of things we have between 500-750k, though expect it to be near the lower, can we really get helguson with that amount?
  5. so were linked with scarecrow, then someone suggests adebola, anyone want to bring back akinibuyi?We need a decent targetman, helguson would be the perfect solution and with smolarek being signed on loan, we must go for him
  6. i was at reading this weekend, just caught the end of bloc party and could have sworn I saw a norwich flag, I quickly pointed this out to the rabble that I was with (we too were wearing norwich tops) only for the flag just to dissappear before the killers lacklustre performance and the rabble then denied they''re even was one! LOWLIGHT: The Killers HIGHLIGHT: Cribs / Digitisilism / RATM
  7. slightly ot, but isnt it about time simpsons formed an alliance with some brewery to make ''duff'' beer...you can imagine how cheap and revoltin the stuff would be, the crowd would love it!
  8. [quote user="Duffman"]The sooner Cureton is out of the starting line up the better.  He''s lazy, he offers nothing when not on the ball and now he cant even hit the bloody target when 1 on 1 with the keeper.   He''s lived off his one season wonder with Colchester for too long now.  He may kiss the badge and he may love the team but Jamie Cureton is not fit to start up front for this great club.   Nothing personal, just business. [/quote] I would agree with you there, other then the bit ive highlighted...I don''t think he''s a lazy player, its just he simply isnt good enough anymore....you simply can''t miss a one on one like that, he wasn''t even in a straight line (which could have made it a tad more difficult) he simply had to slide rule it into the bottom corner when he just got into the box...it really showed how low his confidence is and I would much rather russell play i''m afraid
  9. [quote user="nutty nigel"]Billy Dixon will give you 10/11 on a Norwich win. That would nearly double your money!   [/quote]thats quite generous, presumed we would be something like 7/11...spose that shows just how far we''ve come, haha! I might do an accumulator...and if rusty starts i''ll go with him, if not £5 on kennedy and £5 on lupoli it is
  10. In seasons gone by it used to be a sure thing id get a free drink off ashton or earnshaw scoring the first goal, but I honestly haven''t got a clue on who to go for this afternoon, im tempted by lupoli, or do I go for the classic hoolahan playing against his old club trick?
  11. I was gonna say...you''ve possibly named 2 of the best away grounds for us in recent years LGT! [:D]....To be honest, this league is so tight, it really doesn''t matter what team were playing, right now it doesn''t matter whether we play brum or swansea, or doncaster or derbyIf you''re on about unhappy hunting grounds why not try coventry, wolves, palace or my personal favourate sheffield wednesday...when''s the last time we won there?!
  12. I heard huckerby and cullum chants at mkdons...im sorry but huckerby has gone, move on...we decided to try and get ''viva marc libbra'' echoing around at one point just incase a few supporters wanted him back too
  13. its on youtube, just type in the relevant search words
  14. haha, as i typed it, I knew someone would (correctly) point this out, but bearing in mind we had played spurs, our ''showpiece'' friendly 6 days ago, to get 7,000 against colchester was still a good show for a pointless glorified training session
  15. there''s no way we can possibly go for a 4-5-1 system with the strikers we have currently avaliable to us, which is what roeder probably would have played away from home if we had a target man in place....therefore i see a 4-4-2 similar to everyone else''s team, I would love to see russell in the centre, but i fear he will go with 2 defensive midfielders to allow hoolahan and croft to get forward, upfront its a tricky one..I don''t think roeder fancies cureton too much, but due to the other''s lack in fitness and the fact cureton has a little bit more practice with the rest of the team, he''ll start with cureton and corona....So thenMarshallSemmy Kennedy Stefanovic BertrandCroft Fozzy Clingan  HooliganCureton CoronaSubs: Nelson, Shackell, Drury, Russel, Lupoli
  16. If were honest, 17,000 isn''t exactly a bad figure for a friendly is it?! I mean who would you rather watch, spurs or west ham?I know the two clubs are fairly close in geographical terms (west ham and ipswich that is) but that''s what ipswich were averaging roughly last year for their league games, I mean how many other clubs would sell more then 17,000 tickets for that game..you just have to ignore our insane, fanatical support which for ever reason would probably sell out if we were playing a revitalised scarborough team on a wet, cold december night for the ldv vans trophy first round!!
  17. sorry can you pm me as well please! also, i don''t know how you get to them, haha!..incidentally is there a reason you can''t put the address up on this topic?!
  18. yep, he played in a second string side palace against dagenham the other day and apparently impressed, the chap who is reponsible for getting him a trial from his non-league club also stated how many other players he has brought from lower league ''the likes of dean sinclair have gone onto hugely impress in the league''...is that really true?! hahabut yeah thats a non-starter for us, and warnock is also interested in a striker from norway, I am correct in saying iverson is norweigan am i not? (i realise he is playing in sweden at the moment), we always have similair targets to those of palace so this one could be true
  19. The Championship 2008/09 according to FourFourTwo 1 Birmingham City 2 Crystal Palace 3 Charlton Athletic 4 Reading 5 Derby County 6 QPR 7 Coventry City 8 Sheffield United 9 Wolverhampton Wanderers 10 Bristol City 11 Watford 12 Ipswich Town 13 Preston North End 14 Cardiff City 15 Norwich City 16 Burnley 17 Nottingham Forest 18 Southampton 19 Sheffield Wednesday 20 Swansea City 21 Doncaster Rovers 22 Plymouth Argyle 23 Barnsley 24 Blackpool
  20. You have to admit it isn''t halve funny that marshall seems to have a crap season yet everytime he plays against us he has a wonder game gettin clean sheets and even saving penalties [:P] But yeah I think pretty much everyone is agreed on Alan Brazil, and his police breathalayser thing was hilarious! of the current crop it has to be Haynes purely cause  he always scores against us, I hate it when''s he''s brought on...but of course everyone knows that jealously is a form of hatrid, so the next one will probably be a decent player for them.....then again, we could be waiting a while [;)]
  21. Ive got my name and number ''7'', what i get every single time without fail...atleast this way you know the player isnt going to disgrace himself or leave without saying goodbye....   incidentally this doesnt apply to people with the surname ''francis'' [;)]
  22. totally agree with the academy players comment, other then that a competition for a wonder goal or a skills challenge....and please someone sack the clowns
  23. ''DB! there''s only one DB!...theres only one DB, theres only one DB............DB!''   extremely simple I know but us football fans need lyrics (words) easy to remember
