Steve in Holland

I assume they are referring to 3rd generation turf, similar to that used by Russia ?That''s fine. Nothing like the astroturf you remember from the old Luton days. This new stuff is fantastic. We have it at my American Football club''s practice facilities and it is as good as, if not better than grass. Similar comments were made by England''s footballers after they had trained on it before the Russia game.In fact, isn''t Carrow Road''s surface a hybrid these days ?Steve

I find it disappointing that some people haven''t even read the article about Paddon''s death on the official site.As is clearly stated, "There will also be a [b]period of applause[/b] prior to kick-off."Quite rightly, Paddon''s day is meant to be positive, not negative.

Completely agree. It would certainly be inappropriate given today''s sad news.

I assume that, given the sad news we have learned today, the protest will be called off, so as not to disrespect the memory of Graham Paddon ?

Confirm. Norwich sign Hartson on a one-month loan with a possibility of an extension.

[quote user="FilletTheFishWife ."]unless Safri and Hughes are on the way out[/quote]New squad photo on official site. Safri not in it. Unfortunately Hooze is.

On Saturday, Dave Striker looked a bit like Bambi on ice but hopefully he''ll settle in and be useful. Brown surprised me and looked really quite effective in link play and holding the ball up. Looked like he wanted the ball, too, which was a great sign.

The other one was Gallacher I think.Saf was there. A woman pleaded with him "Don''t leave us, Saf" (3 times before he understood what she had said) and his only response was a smile and the comment "Don''t worry".Agree with the above report. In addition I''ve never as much swearing at team-mates from a player as Andy Hughes came out with. Either Fozzy or Chadwick were referred to as "f***ing moron" within 2 minutes of Hooze playing.Too many offsides, as Dion often yelled. Fozzy got frustrated at all the passing around in defence. Drury also had a few words with Lappin about not coming back for the ball ("I was coming" pleaded Lappin one time), and Shack was very vocal later in the game.I was pleasantly surprised by Brown''s link up play. Not easy to concentrate I''m sure, given the amount of "we''ve seen your video" chants from behind the AGOVV goal every time Chris got anywhere near them !AGOVV were really pants though.

Ha ha. If Etuhu is worth 1.5m, old gingernut would surely be a world record transfer fee.

Could it have been one of these ?[img]http://www.pinknews.co.uk/images/notw.jpg[/img]
