  1. Sorry about the huge quote above. Sorry Smudger, can''t see what there is to boast about in not attending games since the Cardiff game. You claim this makes you wise, but it seems to me that it makes you a fair weather supporter. Are you coming back when we start winning again? [8-)]  
  2. Stevie,   Had''nt been drinking. This was a result of weeks of frustration. You''ll have to wait until tonight for a drunken rant!  
  3. It''s like ''The Emperor''s new clothes'' on this website. Nobody seems to dare say a word against Earnie. So here goes. We can do without him. So who''s going to replace the 17 goals he''s scored I hear you cry. Nobody I suspect, but they would probably have managed about ten or twelve, and the beauty of it would be that his replacement would actually allow other players to score by bringing them into the game. I''ve never thought I''d agree with anything Bryan Robson said, but he was actually right to get rid of him fron WBA. He can''t pass properly, he can''t head the ball most of the time, and he certainly can''t control the ball. He doesn''t hold the ball up for long enough to allow other players to get in the box. He falls over every time a defender goes near him and very rarely wins a free kick when he does fall over. It really p***es me of when he trys a little flick which doesn''t work and the Barclay chant his name, and have you noticed how he wears a little groove in the pitch that runs directly from the centre circle to the ''D'' on the edge of the penalty area. The rare occasions that he deviates from this route are usually at the end of the game when he tries to close a defender down to leave a good impression with his adoring public. If he''s fit tomorrow he''ll probably score a hat-trick!!
  4. There is no such thing as luck, it''s only cause and effect.
  5. What game were you lot at? Lonnie gave the best assessment of Earnie with a 4 and that was far too many points. He may have scored 16 goals in a poor team, but I thought the ratings are for today, not taking account of what''s gone before. Today he was virtually non-existent. Some will blame lack of service, but on three occasions early on he could have scored. He missed an open goal when gifted the ball by a defender and on two other occasions trapped the ball further than I can kick it. Having missed the opportunity to give us an early lead and settle the side down he drifted completely out of the game. £4m from Portsmouth? I''d bite their hand off.
  6. Like when it''s 2-1 and the commentator says  ''It couldn''t be closer''
  7. [quote user="worthy out"] Im getting annoyed by you worthy supporters. Why do you still want this man? do you have as much ambition as him? Remember when chase was chairman and we were in europe? things change and he started do make our club a laughing stock, just like worthless. I appreciate what nigel DID for our club, BUT thats the past. worthy supporters, stop having a go. You have your beliefs and we have ours. I HAVE SAID MY PIECE.   [/quote] Not a ''Worthy Supporter'', just not a ''Worthy Out Supporter'', probably would call myself a ''Norwich City Supporter'' So glad I''m annoying you. I too have said my piece. Now wasn''t that exciting?
  8. [quote user="JC"] I stayed for a few minutes after the whistle, to see what happened in terms of people staying or leaving.  Me and my group then left because we do not support the current management team.  When I left (Jarrold stand) the ground was heading towards half empty.  Of the half who stayed, a lot of those I suspect stayed out of a sense of duty to wave off certain players and clap the team, rather than stay to endorse the current management of the club. In my opinion the droves leaving the ground and the remainder staying mostly to clap the team, not endorse the management team, I think should send a HUGE message to the deaf and dumb board. Open question, who stayed in order to show their support for Nigel Worthington?  Any takers? [/quote] I stayed to clap everyone involved with Norwich City. That doesn''t make me a WO, a KTF or a WI. I stayed because despite what some people on here think, they always try. It may not always be good enough, in fact sometimes they are awful, but that''s football. I''m not really sure whether I want Nigel Worhington to stay or not, but what I do know is that I would like to  leave it the board to decide when he goes, rather than most of the ''Worthy Outers'' who post on this board
  9. [quote user="cityangel"] Now we do we all agree on what the majority of fans really think. [:D] [/quote] No
  10. [quote user="nolegs"]Two nice seats going in row j snakepit,win draw or lose for my money I demand entertainment,this season has been sadly lacking.[/quote] Want entertainment? - Watch the television or go to the theatre. Want sport with all it''s ups and downs? Try Carrow Rd Do I want your seat in the Snakepit? - No thanks, it''s half full of whingers.
  11. It''s superb. I would buy one tomorrow.[ip] Proper colours, not cluttered up with stripes, stupid flashes under the arms or fancy collars, and the badge is in the right place. Unfortunately this means it hasn''t a chance. You could make some and we could wear them instead of the ''designer'' rubbish they will come up with.
  12. [quote user="King Canary"]Didnt go to the game or listen on the radio how did the players do?[/quote] They won 1-0. you should listen for the scores [:D]
  13. [quote user="LinkNR9"] I genuinely believe that most people who boo at Carrow Road are not booing the players, especially in order to make them lose. They just get very frustrated at what they see on the field, viz, hoofball and poor performances for the vast majority of matches. What do do expect people to do? Clap politely as they watch Hughes hit another pass into the stand instead of to the feet of a team-mate? Mutter ''never mind'' as Etuhu gets muscled off the ball again by someone half his size!  As for the current coaching staff getting results - and not just the odd win here and there, especially away from home - there''s not much chance of sustained levels there! The massive division between the fans will continue until Worthington is sacked. I believe that the rot has set in too deep for any other outcome to resolve the situation.    [/quote] So you''re frustrated. I think we''ve all been there, I think that some of us may want Nigel Worthington out, maybe we''re not sure, but unlike a few of the people on this board we stick by the club. This may not mean that we sing or chant, because that''s not how everyone behaves even when we''re winning. What we don''t do is whinge, whinge, whinge and boo our own side. Anybody who boos their own side is not a true supporter. You can offer any pathetic reason for booing, like it makes the team play, or we''re doing it to get rid of Worthy for the betterment of the club, but in the end it means you have no stomach for the long haul. There''s been worse times at this club and there will be better and worse times in the future. It''s a fact of life, live with it, support the team or go find something to watch that doesn''t require genuine commitment.[:@]
  14. Excellent post Cantley. What we have on this board are around a dozen real whingers who will not be happy whatever happens. They have vowed to protest, chant, whatever it takes to remove Nigel Worthington. A prime example of this is ''Nigel''s tic-tacs'' who just spouts negative one-liners to anything that''s written. I think one of the problems is that too many people live in the world of reality TV where the public get to vote on whatever the producers come up with. In some peoples minds they seem to think that this is the way we should run our football club. Fortunately for us this doesn''t happen. Could you imagine the negative people on this board running NCFC. Within a month a few of them would be protesting to get each other out[:)].
  15. [quote user="Yellow Rages"]Well I''ve read it................................Now what?[/quote] I don''t know. Have a cup of tea maybe? The poster put it there for you to read and you''ve read it. Be grateful that some one took the time to post the link.
  16. [quote user="Silver Canary"] The petition has damaged the Worthy Out cause and made it harder for us to get rid of Worthy! I do''nt know how the Worthy Out campaign can be anything but embaresed by the petition last monday. It has produced a few hundred people saying that they wanted worthy out and all the KTFers will say that there is only a minority supporting the worthy out cause. Me and some friends did are best but to vote was so much hassle that even I only managed to votes 3 times after I said that I would try and vote a lot. One of my friends claimed to have votes 4 times (Im note sure that I beleive him tho) but most of them only managed a couple. Having the petition again against Wolves is a good idea as it gives us the chance to vote again and if we all vote again we should at least double the vote. BUT PLEASE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER - if it is the same shambles as it was on Monday, even the most loyal of us will only be able to vote a couple of times and we will end up with just a couple of thousand votes for Worthy Out. All the KTFers will say then that most people want Worthy in. I know your intentions are good but we cannot afford to mess it up again! WORTHY OUT [/quote] Too pathetic for words
  17. [quote user="baldyboy"] monday was my first chance to see him in action and i was very impressed. i think he was the best player on the pitch by far in the first half, and i was mystified as to why he was taken off at half time. i have heard worthy say he was injured but i find this hard to believe as i know first hand what a groin strain is like and it was impossible to continue. how many people feel he was injured or it was a smokescreen for worthy to say ive given youth a chance and it failed? (maybe thats just me being cynical?) [/quote] He was playing in front of us in the first half, and it was clear to me that he wasn''t moving properly for at least ten minutes before half time.
  18. There is no need to support him. He is the man in the job. What a lot of WOs don''t seem to appreciate is that not everyone else is desperate to keep him either, they just know that there are proper ways to go about things. They don''t want to get involved in chanting against the manager, generally taking the mickey out of players and booing one man because he has become the scapegoat for all their ills. My mate''s cat died last week, I''m sure it''s Andy Hughes fault.[:''(]
  19. [quote user="DuncanMirams"]Whats so good about the NU corner? It would be good if that corner made some noise as that might entice other fans in that quite area of the ground to join in.[/quote] There are people there who are trying to get behind the team. They don''t make too much noise yet because there aren''t enough that are willing to sing, but they are making the effort rather than booing our own team. You probaly can''t hear them because you''re too busy whingeing.
  20. when the Barclay was the heart and soul of the support in the ground. I used to stand there, but after Saturday I am almost ashamed to admit it. Even when goaded by the away fans there was virtually no response. The highlight (lowlight??) of the afternoon was after QPR scored the first goal and the ''Worthy out'' chants started. It wouldn''t have been so bad if there had been some chants earlier, because people might have believed they really wanted him out, but oh dear, we''re a goal behind now so ''We want Worthy out'' for 30 seconds. Shame that half-time came because you needed a beer and a pie, and by the time the second half started you had forgotten what you were supposed to be chanting about. After another period of impersonating ''The Highbury Library''  the Barclay was fired into action by another QPR goal. Cue more ''Worthy Out'' chants and now we''ll pick on one player and boo him. I never thought I''d live to see the day when a Norwich player was booed by his own fans. If he was actually not trying or deliberately sabotaging the team it might be understandable, but whether or not he is any good, he is at least doing his best and not shirking responsibility, which was more than could be said of those who booed him. Who can remember "Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly, have you heard of the North Bank Highbury, Shanks said No, I don''t think so, but I''ve heard of the Norwich Barclay". Not if he was alive today.
  21. [quote user="ronbol ronbol"]your entitled to your opinion, but i will do what ever it takes to get rid of this poor excuse of a manger....................... funny how a bit of abuse and worthy out chanting always kicks the players into action. maybe this is an approach worthy himself should try........... [/quote] So how exactly is booing Andy Hughes going to get rid of the manager? Thinking that the pathetic chanting ''always kicks the players into action'' is typical of the WOs. They actually believe that their pathetic demonstraations etc are making a difference to the way the club is run, when all it is really doing is dividing the fans and wrecking the atmosphere in the ground.
  22. [quote user="The Duke of Norfolk"] I was talking to a chap the other day and he was suggesting that the following scenario may have occured at our club. Upon gaining promotion the board/Delia and MWJ  sat down with Worthington and told him that they wanted to make as much money off the promotion to the Premiership as possible. They told him that they would give him a minimal transfer budget but that that he would have a guaranteed job for the next 2-3 seasons on a nice big salary provided he went along with the boards plan and did not come out and criticise it and the lack of a transfer budget. I didn''t think much about it at the time but having thought about it today it could be true. They are all winners from a finacial point of view. I know Delia and MWJ claim to be fans but i am not convinced they are as big a fans as they make out, for me they are more business people than fans. Worthington gets to make a nice lot of money that will no doubt set him and his family up for life. This would also explain NW''s "happy tourist" approach to the Premiership and would also explain the lack of a transfer budget for the start of this season. If we were really serious about "doing a Charlton" we would have spent more it is as simple as that. I would also not be surprised to see Delia and MWJ leave the club after their "plan" to back NW for next season backfires. Well that will be the excuse they use having made their money and getting the hell out of here whilst we are left watching Championship football for another 10 years or probably more. Ludicrous theory? or could such a scenario really be happening at our club? [/quote] Can I have some of what you''re on please?
