  1. What makes you say that Ron? Some of the articles suggested it was as good as done, but I can''t see anything official...
  2. [quote user="Daz Sparks"][quote user="Splendid Rush"]I''m surprised how little chat there is about this guy seeing as though the main site seems to suggest this is almost a done deal It''s it because none of us have heard of him?[/quote]Can''t see it on official site, you got a link SR?[/quote] Sorry for the confusion Daz, I meant the main (home) page of this site, not the official site. I could have been clearer about that. SR

  4. Same here Chip. Usually you can close the ads pretty quickly (which is very annoying but tolerable) but sometimes the whole page changes to an ad that you can neither close, nor navigate back from forcing me to close my whole browser. When that happens, I don''t bother coming back to this board.
  5. I used to live with an ex Norwich first team player when he was in the youth team here and we are still mates despite him having moved to a couple of other clubs since then. Every time we go out there was always more than one drunk idiot that feels the need to tell him how s**t he was or say really horrible personal stuff (despite being a good player for us and the other clubs). Luckily he didn''t drink through most of his career and was always calm enough to walk away but I was amazed he never reacted. I certainly wanted to at times. I''m certainly not condoning what JR did. As my mate proved, you can just walk away, but I know that it is a real strain having people just think they can take a pop at you every time you leave your house just because you are a footballer. Invariably that person then also plays the victim. My mate would try and make time to try and chat to people who wanted to chat, but sometimes people who were absolutely wasted would just talk rubbish or just say his name over and over again to him and he''d eventually ignore them. More often than not you''d then see a post on here of someone saying how aloof or rude he was. It''s hardly surprising if a footballer doesn''t want to stop everything and become best mates with a drunken fool.
  6. I ended up on a night out with Peter Crouch once. Really nice bloke. He said he loved his time at Norwich and wanted to sign permanently. Apparently we wanted to sign him too, but couldn''t afford him and Hucks at the same time.
  7. He fights in yellow and green and his entry music starts with Roy Waller commentating on his goals vs 1ps5wich. Good lad! The announcer even refers to ''his beloved Norwich City''.You can see it here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFRU3d0grio
  8. Wolves fans on MolineuxMix forum saying he''s too good for us and he wouldn''t want to come to Norwich as it''s a s***hole. And that''s from someone from Wolverhampton! Hahahahhaa. Really hope we get him from them.
  9. [quote user="TCCANARY"] http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/my-premier-league-life I discovered that Ruel Fox is a Montserration international! [/quote] When I was at uni I lived with a lad that played international football for Montserrat. He played in the uni third team! They lost 14-0 to Bermuda who rested Sean Goater for that game! Fun little site that - Team most beaten in my lifetime... Ipswich (23 times). That''s a life well lived I think!
  10. *being Has anyone ever given any thought to an edit button on this site? I feel like I might have seen it mentioned once or twice before...
  11. In the AN interview on Canary Player he mentions the goalposts betting moved with one of his targets. Sounds like this fits the bill.
  12. Nice one, Stan. The levels of negativity on here never cease to surprise me. As you say, it''s because we love the club and want the best for it, but let''s just wait and see what happens.
  13. Yeah,Mine started at 17 mins and now says 22 mins.I still need to find the ''friends and family'' page though. Any ideas anyone?
  14. I''m on the site, but can''t find the ''friends and family'' link anywhere.Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
  15. [quote user="Deptford Canary"][quote user="Wot Jimmy Rimmer Got"]Gnob of the highest order who only ever turns up for a Directors Box freebie. That reminds me, when did Stephen Fry last attend a board meeting?[/quote] Funny, sure I saw him in the stands away to Millwall a couple of seasons ago... [/quote]I sat behind him in the away end at Fulham this year too.
  16. After the play-off semi final game up there, five of us were walking back to our car. I was spat at and punched in the back of the head. We started to run and were chased by a big group of Wolves fans. We saw a copper and made for him hoping he''d help us out. All that happened was we stood by him while a big group circled us waiting for him to disappear. At that point we realised one of our group was missing. We asked the copper to walk back with us from where we came but he refused. Just then, our mate appeared, holding his face, with a big circle of massive lads surrounding him. It turns out that he was laying on the floor being kicked, and these boys, stood over him and protected him. They were the Wolves ''firm''. The copper decided he was leaving and this group of fans were still waiting for us, but these big lads from the firm offered to walk us back to our car. We thought we were jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, but sure enough they took us to our car, wished us well and left us. On that walk, they told us that they had an organised fight with some of our ''firm'' elsewhere in the city but thought it was wrong to attack fans who didn''t want to be involved. They seemed genuinely disgusted and apologetic about what had happened. I still don''t quite know what to think about it to this day. I hate hooliganism, but these boys also saved us from a beating by the vermin that call themselves Wolves fans.
  17. Done. Good luck.When I was at university my house mate (a Chartlon fan) did his dissertation on the effects of the collapse of ITV Digital on Champoionship clubs. I persuaded him to do a case study between Norwich and 1p5wich. He contacted both clubs. Norwich sent him loads of information, Ipswich didn''t even reply.
  18. Any idea if there''s any decent places to park near there?
  19. 1) ASDA2) ASDA3) ASDAThat joke hasn''t been funny for about ten years.
  20. I''m with you ZLF, although I learned long ago not to open and thread started by City 1st. I certainly have nothing against him, but the links through to awful jokes were painful.That''s not to say others didn''t enjoy them though, so although I''m happy it was pulled for selfish reasons, I''m not saying it necessarily should have been if others enjoyed it...
  21. I''m fairly sure that Mike Flynn played for us as well at some point. I seem t remember watching him for our reserves...
  22. [quote user="funny old game"]Nothing NCFC related, just wondered if anyone watched the BBC 2 drama Thursday evening about Stoke city''s famous kit man Neil Baldwin, really moving story & a great watch, have to say how well Lou Macari comes over, if you get the chance on catch up or iplayer treat yourself, just proves you should never judge a book by its cover[/quote]Actually FOG, I can make this a little bit Norwich related.The writer, Peter Bowker was taught by my dad at the UEA. He''s a big Man Utd fan, so happily accompanied me and my old man to Elland Rd when we beat Leeds 4-0 and Jerry Goss scored this goal:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XApDYHnBE6IThe director, Julian Farino, by coincidence is also a big mate of my dads. He''s a massive Palace fan and we met him at the pub before the game at Selhurst Park last year. He''s been to Carrow Road a few times with us too.
