These are your exact words: ''Can you think of a more pathetic display from an away team over those 40 years'' Fair enough, I didn''t see that you had specified ''top-flight'' in the previous line, confused by your ''over those 40 years'' line - thought you meant any team - apologies :-) 

[quote user="ThorpeCanary"]Cancelling the lap of honour because had we have lost to WBA, what sort of reception do you honestly think the players would have got? Same with the end of season meal and POTS - tense affairs I think Mcnally replied to someone who asked about the comments regardind the board getting involved with the tactics, which Mcnally said was rubbish.[/quote] Exactly - and if this was true I think Hughton would be getting the sack. His position would be totally untenable going forwards.

[quote user="ZippersLeftFoot"]We can only beat the 11 players in front of us and due to the right approach we deservedly got 6 points and 7 goals from these two games.   But I do agree that WBA were extremely poor (maybe not the worst team seen here but defintely lacking in every department and nowhere near the team that has got them a deserved top half finish) and citeh were at best lack lustre.     I suspect we would have had more difficult games had there been more to play for.     [/quote] Point taken ZLF - just seems as though some people are really loathed to give us any credit at all. For what it''s worth, I think that we could have beaten West Brom at home even if they weren''t ''on the beach''. I genuinely think we could and very likely would have.  

Very sad news - RIP Ben

  [quote user="PurpleCanary"] [quote user="ricardo"]A few weeks ago Swansea came down here and according to some people we couldn''t beat a team who were already "on the beach". Yet strangely a couple of games later Swansea beat Wigan in a pulsating game and so must have come back "off the beach". However yesterday they lost 0-3 to Fulham so must have gone back to the beach.WBA came to CR already "on the beach" therefore didn''t care that we beat them 4-0. Yesterday they come back with 3 goals in 9 minutes against the Champions so must have come back "off the beach".City win 3-2 at the Etihad, obviously the opposition were alreadt "on the beach".Does anyone seriously believe this on/off the beach nonsense, especially when millions of pounds are riding on league position?[/quote]   ricardo, I think there are times when it is a factor and times when it isn''t. That performance from WBA was the most abject and uninterested I can ever remember seeing from a team in the top flight at Carrow Road. Can you think of a more pathetic display from an away team over those 40 years?I can''t believe WBA would have played like that if they had been either at the top vying for a European place or, like us, desperate for points in a relegation dogfight. That has to have been  factor in why they were so listless. As to why they played better against Man Utd, perhaps their pride had been wounded, and Clarke had read them the riot act. And it was in front of ther own fans. [/quote] Seriously?! WBA were the worst away team you''ve ever seen at CR??!! I can remember countless worse performances by visiting teams. And then they magically decided to turn it on because of wounded pride to pull back 3 goals against the champions?! Why can''t you just accept that we confounded expectations and pulled two unexpected results out of the bag to finish very comfortably in mid-table? And, no, I''m not complacent about next season, I just can''t see why every time we achieve something it is always because opposition was crap/ they have nothing to play for/ other teams helped us out/ opposition team weakened through injury/ other teams having runs of bad luck or fixture congestion etc etc ad nauseum      

Well said Ricardo! I think we all know that it''s people (for some weird reason) making up anything they can to undermine the achievements of the team they claim to support. Goodness knows why though!?

Oh, and it''s out of MacDougall, Keelan, Peters and Huckerby for me.

[quote user="I am a Banana"]Robert Snodgrass, his ability to fall over so easily, his injection of roar pace and his crossing from open play is superb.[/quote] Do members of your immediate family find you as intensely irritating as everyone on here? I can''t work out whether you''re an awkward teenager or one of those annoying adults who disguises idiocy and social ineptness with annoying and constant ''jokes''. Which is it? How old are you Banana?

Well said CC!

I like it :-)

Just added you on FB Roger (Simon)

Absolutely brilliant!!

This is brilliant!! Proud of them!

[quote user="Dusk1983"]Are you on drugs, Webbo? You''re posting utter bilge mate. Literally, complete nonsense.[/quote] It''s not nonsense, makes complete sense. I think you might mean grefstad - now there is some properly made up twaddle.

Actually after more thought, I''d love to see Lambert in a loser loses all battle on the last day :-)

OTBC!!!!!! :-)

yet, 41 points over a season evidently is. Depends how you look at it really doesn''t it

the1englishman wrote ''This one game means NOTHING'' Just think sensibly about what you''ve said there :-)

It would certainly make next week''s game a doozy :-)

[quote user="Mister Chops"]Norwich City home record: P18 W7 D7 L4I''m glad he was lucky 7 times, or we''d have been relegated. And thank goodness he was a bit lucky 7 more times, or we''d have scored no points at home at all this season.[/quote] ^^^^^^ Exactly, nail on head Mr C.

Are these mutually exclusive categories RH? can''t I be a Norwich fan that''s pleased that Hughton has kept us in this division?

[quote user="the1englishman"]Read my original post. Should he turn over a leaf and play like this next season, he will be backed by all. My opinion has not changed in the slightest just because we had a seasons best performance today. Now had todays performance been the norm, we wouldnt be here talking about it would we. Jury is well and truly still out on Mr Hughton.[/quote] For the terminally hard of thinking on here - it is not just one game but the fact that he got us to safety across a whole season. Thank God McNally''s in charge of the club with some of the bilge that''s been posted on here in recent weeks.

[quote user="RUDOLPH HUCKER"]I am delighted for the supporters and the players - Norwich City remain a Premier League side and should go on to become established. Hughton has achieved his brief. But to evaluate Hughton''s abilities as manager off the back of one outstanding performance is frankly ridiculous and short sighted and typical of so many football supporter where redemption is ever present. Hughton''s hand was forced, just as his substitutions during the season were forced with the changes dictated by the opposition coach. He had no option today which does not make him a tactical genius. Why do people see him as a victim of circumstances when we lose 5 - 0 at Fulham and go on a winless streak but praise him when we win, you can''t have it both ways and the fact is he has dabbled with our survival and our patience with his insipid restrictive style and lack of imagination. Today was about the supporters and the players, not him. Hughton will now get a chance to take the job forward and spend some serious money on new players but he has a very long way to go and as it is in our interests that he succeeds because Norwich City will succeed and Norwich City is far more important than any manager.[/quote] People are judging him across a whole season in which we achieved his target as employee of the club. No matter how you like to twist it.

[quote user="Herman "]"Javier''s Deaf Translator"ha. think some people are upset we are safe. How true sadly![/quote] Seems that way doesn''t it. Oh well, each to their own.

[quote user="Robert911"]Ha. 1 Game..... You think we are suddenly Barcelona[/quote] Who said that? Fact is he''s done what he was given the job to do. Do you (or anyone) actually believe that he will be sacked?
