The very best memory cannot be told.

Why not tell us a bit more about yourself so we do not patronise you eg age/sex/domicile/education/work/other interests/income/club status/eating and drinking habits/ politics/data protection

I think it was the way he was immediately accepted by the fans and of course the Manager. No swearing and cursing except for former Ipswich players. Nice family club. Do well and we will give you a cheer. If you play for the team we all want to know you. Happy employees are good workers, "Please" and "Thank you" cost nothing my father used to say.

Its quite an effort for me to get to the match these days and find my seat in the Upper Barclay. One has to be very thankful for the Service Lift or maybe I would not get there at all! I think we are doing very welland although our manager might not be the most exciting guy on the pitch (or just off it) he is certainly putting together a side that is not prepared to loose a game if they can help it. At the start of yesterday''s game against Sunderland I thought perhaps we were going to win 5-0 and I was sorry that I had not put a bet on but then I almost alway lose when betting on the boys. Sure enough 2 goals were the maximum for the men in Yellow and then it was time to defend and make sure they did not get injured or give away too many free kicks or get too tired for the next game and Bro'' they did that very well! The number of times the ball was hacked off the goal line or smothered by Mr Bunn was amazing. Some said fifteen shots on target throughout the game and most of those must have come in the second half. The three of us (I go to the match with my wife and son) went off to the Gunn Club in a happy frame of mind for a cuppa and a half pint secure in the knowledge that if we waited long enough we would get to see Mr Bunn and hear him speak (very modestly by the way) of his exploits. He did in fact apologise for letting in the Sunderland goal (no side on this man). The walk home up Carrow Hill was hard Yakka for me, My ankle hurt, the blood does not seem to circulate thru my legs these days, sometimes I have to stop to take deep lung fulls of air and I was very cold but I was a very happy man. The boys had done it again, not been beaten. Done it for themselves, of course, but also done it for 23,000 home supporters, millions watching in the TV world, thousands waiting for the news in Australia, NZ and other far flung places and done it for me too. Thanks lads.

I thought Mr Bunn was very good and made some thrilling saves, Sitting in the Upper Barclay I was very happy with our No, 2 and I think he well deserved Man of the Match. Furthermore he presented himself well in the Gunn Club after the game and is a credit to the Club and those you signed him.

I suppose I have followed the team for over forty years now. Done all those things a fan should do. Stood in the Barclay when the police used to make sallies into the crowd to haul out "trouble makers". Paid the gateman to get in thee ground without a ticket. Watched the game from one of those fancy boxes. Had the shits from eating pies long ago. Been to the AGMs and said my bit. Had private chats with Delia and received letters from Robert Chase. Bought shares and season tickets when the Club needed money. Been to away games even Tranmere Rovers v Norwich City.Had my photograph taken with Darren Huckerby in the Gunn Club. Had a tour of the Ground. Cheered the Open Top Bus tours of the city, and I am begining to loose interest. I don''t enjoy watching my team being beaten particularly by wide margins. I don''t like seeing the "boys" be hopelessly out classed. I don''t like seeing Managers and back room staff being paid huge sums for doing no better than I, or any regular supporter for that matter, could do with regards to team selection, game plan and even training.I don''t like reading that it will come good if every one is given time. If people cannot do the job they are employed to do they should do the decent thing and resign. Get off the bus, I think I might just do that too. Get off the bus and go for a walk in the park instead of watch my team get defeated .........again!

There is no point in "giving time" because there isn''t any time. Brian Gunn was not given any time. WE hired a "winner" and we should have kept him no matter what the cost. One of the main problems was that in loosing PL we also lost his assistants and that seems to have been forgotten. Hughton has not won a Premier League game for a very long time, if ever, and there is no reason to believe he will win one this coming Saturday. Norwich City Board in recent years have a poor record in their choice of Managers and they have got it wrong again. Get shut of Hughton and his side kicks and ask Harry to take the club to the next stage please. If Harry will not come borrow the cardboard advertising dummy of him from the entrance to Dunstan Hall Golf Club. The dummy will do less damage than the three that must have spent millions £ already to effect nothing better than a 5 - 0 drubbing.

Maybe some of you have watched a player being lifted by his team mates during Rugby Union lineouts so that he can catch the ball. Is there a rule in soccer that prevents a player being lifted by his team mates when a corner is taken so that he can have an advantage in heading the ball?

I am old and living in Australia. Ireland have just beaten Australia in the rugby and West Coast Eagles have just beaten Carleton in the Footy. Can someone please tell me what you lot are talking about on the NORWICH Message Board?

Wigan won their final pre-seaon game last night (Sunday) against Villarreal 1-0. Moses was their man of the match as voted by the fans. New man Jones says he "fiited in well".

I think that to come up with a proper answer you have to spend more time looking at the detail for example: Who are married and who are single, who are going to bring their wives and girl friends with them and who are going to leave them at home, who are city dwellers and ,who prefer the country life.I tend to think that living in South Wales is socially going to be a killer whereas Norwich is only 107 miles from London (but then is a bad, conjested road}., Norwich does not have club accomodation for new players but then I guess neither does the other Clubs. Maybe its time we looked at that one again. Hostel type homes close to the training ground might be within the Clubs Financial reach now that there is the 40/90 million windfall. I know that home sickness is a killer and a good player is likely to be a happy player.

Oh brother get a life. At least I have only got an hour to home time!

I think that born 200 years ago you would have benn a slave trader and your demands for a financial piece of Cody''s future are disgusting. If as a Club we don''t want Cody to play for us we should wish him well and send him on his way asking only that we should be covered for the balance of his contract should he choose to sue the club.

I promised a young lad in the States a Holt shirt and he must had thought I was kidding him by now but there is no point in sending a Number 9 shirt if that number is going elsewhere. I suppose its all to do with the transfer window but in Norwich''s case I can not see why. Sometimes I worry about our marketing expertise. Remember last season when there were no club ties. Perhaps its to do with having a woman in charge.

I agree Paul its as boring as a fart! Reminds me of the house colours 60 years ago, Green was Tyldersly, Blue was Ireland, Red was Priestly not even sure I can remember the fourth colour. If this is the best the Italians can come up with maybe we should ask the Isle of Man next time. Fot sure they will not be selling many away shirts!

not sure what you have found out but the Board threw out the idea three years ago as being too expensive.Presumably you have heard they are going to be installed. Mumbles was ahead of his time.

Well I don''t see why a new stadium built within a mile of Carrow Road should be "a souless bowl out of the City". When Queen Elizabeth I visited Norwich all the citizens walked and rode to greet her at Harford Bridges and that is where I would suggest the new stadium is built. We really do not need a mishmash of expensive add-ons. We need a stadium to match a successful team and a "Fine City". The facilities at Carrow are pathetic for most of the spectators. The toilets in the Barclay are akin to cow sheds with streams of other men''s urine passing inches from your pants as you stand there. There is nothing at boys level so the floor in the stalls where the one or two toilet bowls are is always wet.Goodness knows what it is like for the ladies but the closets must be inadequet as there are always queues of ladies standing in the main concourse before the match and at half time. Over cooked pies and pasties are handed out in grubby bits of paper with plastic cups which have been stored where? One has to assume that the mice and rats have a field day, or more likely night, after a match feeding on the remains of food dropped during a game and not cleared until the next day. A minimum of closed circuit TVs bolted high up on walls, old age pensioners being ferried in service lifts that are used also for trollys, and dustbins by canteen staff, the dangerously steep staircases, the grubby carpets, where there are any, the lack of parking for the disabled, the list is endless. We need a 22nd Century Stadium to be the pride of Anglia and the whole country.

There is an independent guy by the Vauxhall Tavern who was recomended to me by a guy behind the counter in one of the chains. ''Tis said he will accept a bet on any sporting event and he gave me very acceptable odds during the week we were promoted 55,000 is for the future but for the doubters remember that there is land behind Tesco at Harford Bridges that is on the railway line, on the Southern Ring Road, within 1 mile of Carrow Road and offers parking for huge numbers of cars. For the guy who has never seen a really modern stadium in Europe or North America I tell you the facilities and stadium views are mouth watering and if Liverpool FC dreams of a new stadium why not us...... and yes I know how to put 20 year and 50 year plans together as that is one of the things, just one of the things I did for a living..    

Who cares unless its part of a general discussion about which three teams will be at the bottom of the table at the end of the season and my suggestions are: QPR, Wigan and West Brom. I expect Norwich to finish in the top half of the table and I have put money where my mouth is but to continue to be successful I think we need another 8,000 seats at Carrow and we can do that by building a second tier on the City Stand. There after success will only continue with a new ground built on the South side of the City to hold 55,000. The plans need to be laid now.. I always remember Colin Chapman having a 50 year plan for Lotus and we need a twenty year plan for NCFC. at least.Hopefully our Chairman has the experiance and ability to lay such a plan.

As far as I am concerned we keep them all as thanks for last years hard slog.With £40 m plus the 3 m from Foulger plus the rise in ticket prices we can afford the extra wages. Getting rid of Malky and Iwan last time was a great mistake as the odd goal would have kept us up and whose to say that McNamee won''t come good given the chance or any of the others on the fringe given a chance. We need to show the same loyalty we ask of the players.

Rod Liddle writing in the Sunday Times yesterday saw fit to give Norwich City a new name. Now I think that name, as above, is completely unacceptable especially given by a columist of a respected News Paper. I sincerely hope Norwich stuff Wigan in their first match of the season and that when it happens some of you take time out to remind Rod Liddle of his unfounded name calling.  

There is a triangle of 12 miles taking in Warrington. Wigan and St Helens.... something like 400,000 people. Good clubs, good pubs and an assured good night out provided you modify your accent a bit!.......... no long aaaaaaaaaaaaa''s

It seems pretty obvious why Cardiff did not get automatic promotion or even promotion via the play-offs. If Norwich are going to sign 7, 8 or 9 new players who are all (presumably) better that the current Norwich team members one has to ask why did the old Norwich team try so hard to get promoted. At least half of them are going to loose their jobs!

He seems such a happy little fella when he comes on to the pitch and immediately buckles down to the job in hand. Players seem to be dumped for no particular reason and I feel quite sorry for them. They arrive full of promise and then they disappear either off on loan or their contracts are not renewed. Maybe it is due the squad being larger than in the old days, maybe its a personality clash with the team management. We never seem to get told very much these days.

Robert Green it could have been you....Ha!
