  1. NMTD, that is exactly what I was going to suggest. It would be so good to put some faces to the great names that post on here. I''m certainly up for it, whether we do or don''t..you know what! The Riverside somewhere is a possible place for it, I guess, if there are too many people to squeeze into Templeton''s house/garden. Any other suggestions anyone?
  2. But it only came unstuck at one end, Wiz, so does this mean that either our defence will come unstuck...in which case we have to play an attacking formation all the time and outscore the oppo what ever they score, or does it mean that the goals will dry up at the other end, in which case we have to fight for a succession of 0-0 draws! Either way, I''m with you here. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Does putting Baileys in hot chocolate dull the senses and give dreamless nights of sleep? I''m willing to try anything - well, almost anything!
  3. Help! Someone needed to interpret the brief dream I had last night. I was driving down the A11, as I often do, at just above the speed limit when I saw the flash of a speed gun from a layby as I went past. Having looked at my speedo, I convinced myself that there was no way I would be stopped as I was only a couple of mph over, so I relaxed a bit as I drove on. Imagine my horror when, as I reached the ''Welcome to Norwich - A Fine City'' sign, a policeman signalled for me to pull in at the side of the road by the sign. Heart racing and trying to think of every feasible excuse, I got out of the car and waited for his opening gambit. "Madam, I have had to pull you over because of information received from one of our patrols near Wymondham. Are you aware that your Norwich City scarf in your back window has fallen down? I cannot permit you to spoil the look of our fine city by showing a shoddy rear end to the rest of the drivers here, so please put it back properly and you are free to go". I had a laugh about it when I woke up, but haven''t got a clue if it means anything. (Could it be that those in authority - like referees - are going to help us on the pitch in the near future? Judging by our past record, I somehow doubt it! Any ideas anyone?
  4. Scotty, I agree that three points on Tuesday will be just the tonic we need. Thinking about it, it does seem as if we have been a bit nervous and hesitant in the opening periods of games lately. We could have been punished more than we have been, in honesty. This must be the increasing pressure of heading into the business end of the season with so much at stake. If I was a sports psychologist I think I would be advising the players that now is the time to really go for it and put their foot on the pedal. If they don''t they won''t, in all probability, succeed anyway, so they might as well have real belief in themselves, think positively, and look forward to what they can achieve, not back at what they have already achieved in reaching the top of the league. With this in mind, I think I would definitely start with three up front on Tuesday, and work on how to defend well with this formation, not a la Bradford.
  5. Surely Fabian Wilnis would make a great player-manager!
  6. How sad am I? I go through this writing down of our preferred results every time there is a full programme of matches in our division, and I keep a record of how many go our way and how many don''t. Don''t like to say this but a fair number have either gone our way or been relatively neutral in their effect lately. I reckon we are due a day of bad returns soon. Just don''t let it be today. May would be preferable, assuming things have continued to go quite well until then!
  7. Thanks for the reassurance, mistersparkle, and, yes, I am looking forward to having some nice dreams while the dentist is making holes in me. Hopefully we will have won the previous weekend so that I fall asleep with a smile on my face and then relive some good goals again and again. Come on the lads at Cardiff today. Won''t be easy, but you can do it!
  8. If PC is playing so well, you still have to question why he has only had a couple of starts since returning there. (His starts coincided with Angel being injured, I believe, and now he''s back to coming on sometimes as sub just for a short time if he''s lucky. I still don''t think D O''L thinks he''s really what they want there...so, fingers crossed!)
  9. Thanks ever so for your concern, Wiz. I have opted to take the coward''s way out and have sedation so I won''t know anything about it, but that won''t stop the pain when I wake up again I guess. Am going in on 1st April (someone''s idea of a joke, no doubt) so I shall probably have last night''s dream several more times before the big day...in between all those lovely green and yellow ones of course! Now where was I in that hotel having a meal with PC, and has he got through to Worthy yet?
  10. Well, beelsie, with the tension increasing as the season gradually draws to a close you may not have any control over your slumbering thoughts and you may find yourself joining us on here with our weird and wonderful tales. Hope you will be prepared to share them with us if you do! (I was in a dentist''s chair in last night''s dream, and woke up just as the whirring of the drill started. Empathy with Gary Holt over his bad tooth that needs to come out? Probably not. I''ve soon got to have root canal treatment on a tooth that was hit when I was playing squash, so it''s probably that I''ve started to get nervous about that already. Has anyone on here had this done before? If so, does it hurt?)
  11. Talking of managers, has anyone else seen the pictures on Skysports News of Mick McCarthy having a spat with Kevin Kyle at the SOL last night when KK was substituted after Whitley was dismissed? KK didn''t look like a happy bunny at all, and M McC was clearly furious at the reaction from his player. Looked for a second like the two of them might engage in more than just verbals. Thank goodness for Worthy...how right you are Splendid Rush!
  12. At last...someone prepared to confess! Good on yer, Wiz! Perhaps us long-suffering dreamers should get together to discuss our affliction over a mug of cocoa. I''m not sure I want to risk your wrath by attempting to interpret your ''scoring-naked-in-front-of Delia-at-the-Barclay End'' romp, but I''m sure that we all understand the need to imagine things like this...and we know that it is all pretty harmless - except when, like with my dream, you wake up suddenly and believe for a while that it has really happened. It''s a good job no one can see you go a deep shade of red in the dark!
  13. Assuming that we can and will get six wins from our remaining twelve matches, this would give us a total of 85 points. Our ''friendly'' blue neighbours have eleven games left and would need to get 86 points to overhaul us as their goal difference is VASTLY INFERIOR!!! (enjoyed writing that!) As they currently have 53 points, this means they need to win each and every one of their remaining games to finish above us. How good does this make us feel this fine morning? And who''s the pride of Anglia Messrs Royle and Wilnis?
  14. Plus Slumberland have to play about 7 of the current top 12 in their remaining games. This should mean that vital points will be dropped, but if they win them all they will deserve to go up. Can''t see it happening though.
  15. Must remember to put waterproof mascara on my shopping list at some point in the next two months, otherwise I could end up looking like something from a horror movie! Would be just my luck if a press photographer was lurking nearby as well to smash any credibility I might still have!
  16. Thanks for the explanation NMTD. Guess you''d better put me in the same camp as yourself, then, as I am surrounded by the premature elation brigade at work, whereas I am cautiously sitting on the fence muttering ''there''s a long way to go...lots could happen'' etc., especially when my Hammer boss and my Baggie/Mackem colleagues are nearby. Anyway, I''m relieved to report another good night''s sleep last night with no flashes of green and yellow to wake me up with a start. Perhaps I''m now in ''focus mode'' ready for this weekend''s match! A win on Saturday might, however, change that for a couple of nights I suppose as slight whiffs of champers could prevail! (City angel - you need to keep taking the Hucks aversion tablets, I think, although a good chat with someone who understands...like me...might help!)
  17. And just what sort of premature elation are you referring to NMTD? Us girls can''t possibly imagine, so, go on....DO TELL!
  18. Funny Dumbledelia, I had that one too, on Sunday night. I put it down to eating a lump of cheese before I went to bed but if that was the case then most of the people I work with must have eaten cheese that night as well ''cos they were saying the same things to me on Monday morning! Kathy, you might be right about it being a girl thing...but I have my suspicions that the guys on here might be afraid to confess, so come on, prove me wrong!
  19. I must admit that I didn''t hear the Radio Norfolk interview, so it can''t have been that! I was looking at the City Stats page in the EDP and Evening News though, and Crouchy was listed in several of the tables there, not surprisingly. Perhaps it was that brief glimpse of his name, or perhaps just a huge dollop of wishful thinking on my part. Anyway, I managed a good night''s sleep last night without any green and yellow references, so perhaps my condition can be described as currently stable! (I can''t believe that I''m the only one on here prepared to confess to anything like this, though! Come on the rest of you!)
  20. With the footy so much on our minds at the moment, I was wondering if any fellow posters had experienced any strange NCFC-related dreams lately. At risk of sounding really stupid...well, even more so than usual, I had a most bizarre dream last night and it was so real that I woke up absolutely convinced it had happened. I entered a competition that had the first prize of meeting Crouchy and interviewing him for the local rag. Of course, I won, and headed off to a plush hotel armed with my questions. Over a scrummy meal I gradually managed to ask each one and record the answers given. The one question that really stuck in my mind was ''"What did you think of Norwich/Norfolk when you first arrived here and did your opinion change by the time you left?" The answer seemed to go on and on, and ended up with the man himself getting his plane ticket out of his wallet and tearing it up as he said, " damn it, I never wanted to leave here in the first place, and coming back to do this has just confirmed it. Now what is Worthy''s number?" I was so amazed by this that I woke up from my dream with a huge smile on my face and thought ''yeeeeessss...we''ve got him!''...until I caught sight of my alarm clock, which said 4.15am!!! Yep - I really did feel stupid, and I didn''t manage to get any more sleep after that. Anyone else care to admit to anything similar? Surely I''m not the only insane person on here?!
  21. I''m not sure what the current trends are for you guys (''cos I''m not one!), but I do know that the West Brom fans were obsessed with hairstyles on their fans'' website after our game last Tuesday. It was really quite funny. Some wanted to know if it was a requirement of this club that players must have a stupid hairdo in order to play for us. Others wanted to know if the squirrel on Jimbo''s head was actually dead, or if Hucks had extra highlights to try and dazzle the oppo''s defence into fouling him as they couldn''t see the ball properly! Obviously the game itself didn''t do much to inspire them, eh? If they play like that every week, they have my sympathy!
  22. I''ve just found a spare ''Top of the League at Portman Road'' sticker to put in the window at work. I now want a ''Still Top of the League after doing the double over Ipswich'' sticker to go with it. Would certainly upset the binners who come into my office from time-to-time! Think they might avoid me for a few weeks, anyway!
  23. Are you and I telepathic mistersparkle? You have taken the post right off my keyboard!!!
  24. Well said mistersparkle! It also seems that BFJ has got his players singing from the same hymnsheet - witness Mr. Wilnis'' comments in The Pink''un this morning. Well, if we are not good enough, Mr. Wilnis, then what does that make you? Worthy has learned in the past few years that it takes more than pretty passing moves to get out of this god-forsaken division. Isn''t it time your manager woke up and smellt the coffee? (Despite all the comments on tv and in the press, it is interesting that a lot of the Town fans don''t seem to be buying into the culture of excuses. Have a look on TWTD and you''ll see what I mean).
  25. I know this thread is about a week old now and everyone who knows me doesn''t need me to answer the question posed by its title. I just wanted to add a different dimension to the question by telling you about something that happened on Tuesday night before the match. I sit quite near to a lovely lad who is Norwich City mad. He has learning difficulties and sometimes struggles to make himself understood, although there is no misunderstanding his adoration for his heroes. Imagine his face when, from the other side of the pitch, Darren comes running over to shake his hand and talk to him for a minute. To say it made made this lad''s day would be a gross understatement, and that glove on his hand will never be washed I guarantee it! Whatever he does for us on the pitch now and in the future Darren will always be good enough for this club because of the person he is IMO.
