FU MAN SHOE

What''s Col U''s goalkeeping coach like...in for a penny eh?

Perhaps if we can increase the capacity of Carra, we could do some marketing with the new Polish and Portuguese community to make sure they know about our Catholic links. Both great footballing nations!

I agree that we are currently weary after a 3 match spell, but a clear week without a game should work wonders. We have aclimatised to the spell without Holty...that''s three games now if you count the one he was sent off in, but that doesn''t mean we''re as good without him. Millwall will be a stern challenge. Holty is worth a goal a game, whether he actually scores or not himself. It would be sensational to get a win at the New Den next week and if we do I would hope that the media (in particular the BBC) starts to see us as the probable League Champions.

The song thing was put to him in the last canaries world prematch interview and he was clearly amused by it and beamed with a huge smile throughout. I''m convinced he loves it and its only a matter of time before he starts to acknowledge it on the pitch, the way Holty and Lambert respond to their chants. More Spanish flags, please

Sorry i dont follow all the politics of this , but what are the main issues for and against his re election?

Dream on! wont matter if we are 1st or 21st...we are Norwich...expect a friendly reception and enjoy the day out in London. It''ll be the best of the three visits this season

"Ole Ole, Ole Ole! Lappin it up up up!"

How many inches? ...sounds like snow envy to me!

"We''ve only got FOUR songs, we''ve only got FOUR songs..." things are really looking up!

"We''ve only got THREE songs, we''ve only got THREE songs..."

The penalty shootout was great fun and the kids looked like they loved it celebrating their goals in front of us. Carra could learn a thing or two from this.

Might as well get ready for the Champions League then!

To get roadside parking you need to be there quite early as it gets quite congested. Prittlewell Chase is the best bet I think, but the Secondary school up there opens for match day parking for about a fiver. 7-8 mins walk to the ground

I think the point is that we need hungry young talent or others looking to surpass their current level reached in professional football to ensure that we keep the fighting spirit going. We aint gonna be able to afford the falling stars so its a pointless thread anyway, but a big name in the current dressing room would probably disrupt the place, even the great Darren Huckerby would, if he hadn''t hung up his boots, would have been a difficult addition to the squad.

I personally think Southampton away is the biggest test we will get this season. If we are as good as we hope we are, and I know that it is difficult to be totally confident after last season and the start to this, but this match could be a watershed. What we achieve in the league this season will depend on how we fare against the better clubs in this league. So far it doesn''t look that great. Lost to Leeds away, Lost to MK Dons away, Lost to Colchester at home...we need a big scalp while the team''s confidence is high. I shall be watching tomorrow afternoon''s game against Brighton with more than casual interest.

I''ve got a nagging feeling, probably unfounded, that Leeds are getting special treatment this season with yet another Saturday rest. Just how many internationals have they had called up this week? I was hoping for Swindon to at least hold them to a draw to shrink the gap between us.

Smith''s effort was phenominal, just hope the guy can put a goal away soon. Martin for me was under par, whether it was lack of service I dont know but I think those 4 goals last week, may have got to his head a bit.

I thought Martin was a bit slow today, I hope the arrogance is not returning. I hope that he doesn''t see his four goals against Paulton as his ticket to start every game.

We certainly like to paint the town red...or yellow

Get that copywrighted quick Hooley...that has got to be worth bucks to Johnstone Paints...which could help our transfer pot come January

Not being able to celebrate to Samba de Janeiro at away games

Gill''s presence in the lineup was a mistake...I accept that he may be playing out of position like one or two others, and is building up his ''match fitness'', but he needs to improve and fit into this team pretty quickly as he made the midfield look weaker than it has been for a while.

Chris Martin was strong on the ball to weave around a couple of players but went down very easily for the penalty...but who cares...a goal''s a goal...as they say!

We tried at times to get some noise going across the whole end but it just wasn''t happening. Yes you have no benefits of the acoustics that a roof with a stand give you, but I''ve got to say that the make up of the away fans today was lacking in vocal energy. You would not have believed we had scored our first goal listening to the noise or the animation of our body language. I was going to call in the undertakers at one point...a bit harsh I know but you get the picture!

Put this post code into Google Maps and it should help "SK3 9DG" looks like its about 5 mins from the ground.
