[quote user="RUDOLPH HUCKER"]Bottom line....Roeder is wrong to publicly criticise players. He once said he didn''t do it.......the man is flawed![/quote]He also told us when he kicked Hux out the back-door, that he was replacing him with a new hero!  now after three and a half games Roeder is telling the whole world via the media that our new hero is cr@p!...... it''s all turning into a bit of a joke!

Not sure why so many try to make out GR was our saviour, we were in trouble when he took over I agree but at the end of the day, a single scrappy home win towards the end saved us from relegation! it was that tight and it was our lowest league position since about 1759 for Christ''s sake!I would have expected any manager coming in, in Oct to have saved us from relegation, hopefully by more than 3 points!Grant was abysmal, GR still hasn''t proved he is any better.Why can''t we pick a manager with a normal, likeable personality? - Walker/StringerKen Brown for example.we had success under all 3.In recent years, picking managers who are considered total @rseholes by the media/fans/players/ex-players/gen public etc obviously  works against us.

[quote user="Steve H"][quote user="Have Heart"][quote user="jas the barclay king"][quote user="Steve H"] Lupoli is crap. Shows what you all know between you. [/quote] hes scored 2 goals.... Dave Strihavka scored a goal once.... jas :) [/quote] WTF, the guys even admitted he needed some time to settle in and get match fit he''s socred two in 6 mins doesn''t this give you any hope that now with some confidence in him hes just going to get better. People bitch and moan our strikers aren''t scoring then lupoli pops up with 2 and people still have something to moan about. [/quote] Jas is typical of a lot of Norwich fans he want''s everything yesterday, can''t wait for things when there''s whinging to be done. People need to understand that it''s a nine month season players peak and trough and so do the teams they play for.   [/quote]Jas maybe typical of a lot of Norwich fans but its not so much wanting everything yesterday, it''s more a case witnessing trough after trough with very little peaks, in fact the peaks are so small you could slide down one on your @rse in nylon trousers and still not get a spark!

No club has a perfect right to the Premiership or indeed to a top place in the Championship but have to agree with BBB on this, as a club we have seriously underachieved to a point where it has to be viewed as failure

Nice come back today but I''m not quite creaming myself yet - 4 games, 4 crappy teams and not a win in sight, so I guess Smudge might have a point.On the positive side we now have 2 points instead of one,  on the negative side we have dropped ten points out of twelve and been knocked out of the cup Still early days though so anything is possible -

[quote user="YankeeCanary"]My life is not perfect but I try to focus on all the things I have to thankful for. This is not difficult given what some of my fellow human beings around the globe have to endure in their daily lives. Far too many in the world still have to focus on whether they will have enough food the next day in order to ensure their survival. Most of us in our parts of the world have no such difficulty. We have more than enough to feed ourselves with money left over to provide us with the "toys" in life. One of my toys is to play golf, which I love for a lot of reasons. Another is to pay for premium cable so that I can watch my beloved game of football from England and other countries. These are my responsilities to pay for. Sometimes my golf game is not so great, on infrequent occasions some of my playing partners display lack of anger management on the course. There are also days when the weather does not cooperate after starting the round. Some of the football games I watch are dull, while others are filled with excitement. Regardless, I accept the ups and downs along with the costs of "my toys" and, if I reach the point where I am dissatisfied with my choices, then there are lots of other pursuits I can choose to follow. Like most of you, I am disappointed that NCFC are not yet where we would like them to be. However, one of the things that most disappoints me about my fellow Norwich fans posting on this forum is when their words suggest that their "toys" should be subsidized by someone else''s money almost as an entitlement. I mostly abhor the negativity thrown at Delia and Michael because they are running the club under its own steam power financially. I see some of the frustrated comments that Ipswich can afford to buy Ameobi where Norwich cannot. I wonder how the small business merchants who lost their money in the last Ipswich financial meltdown feel about the matter. The fury, on the part of some, in believing that Peter Cullum''s money should be courted so it can be spent on high quality "toys". Not all posters are cut from the same cloth, but there are more than enough that just want their football club to move to a higher level, irrespective of whose money is used to fund it. I understand when I see the young posting such comments. I am most disappointed when it''s the older fans calling for someone else''s money to pay for their toys. Yes, I know, for those of you that buy your season ticket you feel you''ve already done your bit, but you''ve done it at Championship cost. There will be up seasons and down seasons and, for the past three, you''ve been paying for a down cycle. But you had the choice. You still do. That''s your right. What is not your right is to expect that someone else will pay for what you want. It is your right to hope that a hard-nosed business person takes the reins at Carrow Road, and pushes the club to greater heights. However, it would be foolhardy to believe that this will be accomplished without those more expensive toys putting a big dent in your own pocket.       [/quote]It''s true you could liken paying for a season ticket to annual golf club or cable TV fees but you could also argue - if the golf club,  through cost cutting didn''t cut the grass on the green, I think you would find most golfers would complain, same as any sofa pilot would complain if his cable TV reception was abysmal

At least Bob could pick out a decent manager!

[quote user="Carrow Roeder"]Are they a struggling Championship team with the strikers desperately needing a confidence boost? No...[/quote]No but they are not teams who have under performed for 5 consecutive years after 5 consecutive crap managers [the last one being the biggest tw@t of the lot] and given us nothing to shout about except Hux or big U, the only two highlights in a depressing five years of utter cr@p. Why can''t the board appoint a manager with a normal personality for Christ''s sake? is it really that hard - a walker, a Stringer a Brown, it''s kind of funny the team over performed under those 3 managers and played the best football ever seen at Carrow Rd

[quote user="ncfcstar"]2 games into the season and you''re questioning him, this is beyond a joke really. Get a life Billy, all you do is moan.[/quote]Surely he has a right to moan, come Oct, Roeder has been here a full year and the team continue to under achieve as always. Considering the 3 very poor teams we have played so far it''s no joke.It seems most clubs Roeder has been at, he has got off to a reasonable start then loses it, one theory is, once the players realise what a complete tw@t he is they no longer give 100%, still with 11 new players in he can start afresh, oh until they also realise of course, then it''s all down hill just like last season and all the other seasons and clubs Roeder has been at

I think Dijon is Mustard!

"Hoolahan you''re spoosed to be on the left wing""Don''t pass to Pattison he''ll lose it""Why aren''t we goin forward?"I heard those lines being shouted out too, I wouldn''t mind but when I looked over my shoulder I realised it was Glen Roeder!

Never missed but then I realised I was a total mug! well I wouldn''t go to the Theatre twice a week if it was putting on a cr@p show so why should the footy be any different?

The World of top flight football is a small place, every player in the top two leagues knows whats going on at other clubs throughout the country through the player network. Norwich are no doubt seen as a careful little club going nowhere, with an unpopular manager who nobody wants to play for.

Get rid of that joke of a hotel, should be seats only pitchside

[quote user="Mello Yello"]Re: Munby spotted. I sincerely hope it isn''t contagious.......The poor Chairman. Or, was he off to a fancy-dress party as a Dalmatian? [/quote]Must be 101 reasons why he couldn''t go dressed as a  Dalmatian, first of all  Dalmatians don''t wear tweed suits with deep pockets and short arms

[quote user="canaries in Bed"]So GR does not carry much clout hey? Read this. "I knew of Glenn''s managerial reputation - working with big name players in the Premier League - and hopefully he will help me become a better player too," Clingan told the club''s official website this afternoon."I was very impressed with what he said and his plans for the future - it really caught me and now I can''t wait for the first game [/quote]To be fair I think all players say something similar when they first join a new club, it''s a bit like paying a compliment to your new girlfriends mother  when you first meet, you sure as hell don''t mean it but you say it all the same!

[quote user="Stevee Wonder"][quote user="Worst Wizard"] We don''t own 30% of the hotel, that is owned by Holiday Inn. We hold/held 30% of Landmark Securities LTD Any profit depends on the performance of this Company. [/quote] OK, but do you honestly think the board would have had the hotel built if there was a more profitable option? [/quote]If having a hotel is the most profitable option in a football stadium, you''d think every club would have a cr@p hotel in in the corner, wouldn''t you?

[quote user="blahblahblah"][quote]And Darren Huckerby[/quote]...and for his wages we can probably get a younger in-betweenie.[/quote]I want you to be right blahblah, I want you to be right! If GR did pull a young Hux out of the bag I''d actually be the first to stand up and say well done but to be fair that kind of quality on a permanent basis doesn''t come along too often.I hope you are right and I am wrong

Forgot to mention, went to a reserve game, Summer time, around 1970, ran up the open stand at half time to buy an ice cream and ran into an iron crash bar and broke my nose, still ate my ice cream, which my Dad bought later but threw it all  up outside the old Barclay stadium, my Dad was dead keen to watch the second half despite me bleeding to death over a half eaten ice cream, so watched most of the second half in a pool of blood roughly where they built that crap hotel.

I think it depends on how high we aim, for a real crack at automatic promotion I''d say 6 - 10 million, for play offs 3-5 million, avoid relegation 2 million, below 2million with an average manager, I''d say facing relegation

Early 70''s I think against Man utd, [I think we lost 2-0 or 2-1?]  lots of hostile man u fans around before and after the game, it was years later I realised most of them were from Grt Yarmouth.

[quote user="blahblahblah"][quote]Quite frankly I am surprised we have yet to sign anybody, I''m not sure the Euro Championship factor really applies to us anyway, as most of the permanent players brought in, will no doubt come from Championship or Div1  level [/quote] This is at odds with Roeders'' definition of "in-betweenies", players not quite Premiership standard, but capable of succeeding in the Championship.  I''d argue that about the only one who matches that description who has moved is Earnshaw so far. [/quote]And Darren Huckerby
