[quote user="morty"]Wait, are you getting confused because February only has 28 days?[/quote]But even more confusing if you were born on the 29th.......[:D]

[quote user="lappinitup"]I would love to have been at the last game at the Nest just to take in the atmosphere of that quaint little ground and to see for myself exactly what it was like.Followed by the very first match at Carrow Rd three months later just to say "I was there".....[/quote]I wonder how people can genuinely claim to have been at either or both matches ?As we''re talking 1935 here you''d have to knocking on a bit.......

[quote user="morty"]I have just opened a bet 365 account, haven''t a flipping clue what I''m doing lol.But a cheeky Ayrton Senna on Norwich to win, and another saying we''ll win 1-nil. [/quote]The bookies just love punters like that [:D]

[quote user="morty"]I think we''ll win.[/quote]Got a feeling we will too Morty.After Sunday''s win and the team showing a lot more invention of late I think there''s a good chance we''ll do it.

[quote user="HerefordCanary"]Derby at home, Ipswich away and Portsmouth away[/quote]Missed the same three exactly. B*oody annoyed at missing the 5-1 at Portman Rd especially as I had a ticket. Been at plenty of other great occasions - including Portsmouth promotion in ''75 - but was too ill to travel to those three. Somehow made it to the final game at home to Coventry though which was pretty special too.

[quote user="Pitchforks Torches"]Think about this after reading the BBCs team of the week: "Did you know? Jelavic has scored three goals in his last three Premier League games - after a run of 21 league matches without scoring." Same can happen to RVW. [/quote]You forgot to mention that Jelavic moved clubs.

[quote user="littleyellowbirdie"][quote user="......and Smith must score."]The RVW story has all been a bit embarrassing really.Remember all the bally-hoo after we signed him in January last year and we were all worried that if we went down he''d never arrive ? Then there was all the pre-season hype by the Club with the '' Feed the Wolf ''  replica shirt advertising campaign. It reminds me of the time we signed Darren Beckford from Port Vale many moons ago. 60 goals over 3 seasons for the Vale, admittedly in the old Second Division, but couldn''t hit a barn door here.It''s no reflection on NCFC or the player himself I think RVW will unfortunately turn out to be one of those '' square peg in a round hole '' Beckford situations. I think he''s more skilled than Beckford ever was but maybe the Premier League''s not for him.Whatever League we find ourselves in at the end of the season I can see him leaving Carrow Rd in the summer.[/quote]I remember when I first saw that ''who''s afraid of the big bad wolf'' thing that we were maybe bigging him up a bit too much. You only have to look at the YouTube clips of him in the past to see that he''s got real flair in front of goal. He''s had a lot of problems to contend with like that long injury though. As someone else said, against Tottenham he looked like he was getting back to it, and it was his intervention that led to our goal.  I see what you''re saying about square peg in a round hole because he does need service, but the team has developed massively in terms of creativity of late. Once he''s got his goal-scoring mojo back he''s going to be magic.[/quote]I do hope you''re right. There''s no doubt he''s a class act and knows where the net is but I just wonder if we''re the wrong club.I''d love him to succeed here I really would.

Can''t disagree that it all came good for Chris Hughton on Sunday as the subs worked a treat. If only this could happen more often.I think the season-long stats say that of all the substitutions the manager''s made not one of them has scored or even made an assist for a goal. I accept that while we score so few goals that''s more likely to happen but it''s stil a record that beggars belief.Either Chris Hughton''s had an extraordinary run of bad luck or there''s something wrong with his selections.

[quote user="morty"]I have found it quite disturbing how the media seem to be rounding on David McNally.Is it just all about their perception of how nice Chris Hughton is? I didn''t see any other chairmen criticised despite actually sacking their managers, surely Fulham''s chairman deserves some scrutiny?I don''t think the guy has done anything wrong, he was honest and open about Hughton''s position.Essentially the media''s intervention has made it impossible to sack Chris Hughton now, a power I don''t think they should be allowed to have.[/quote]Good point Morty although it''s unusual for the Chief Exec to get the flak rather than the owner or Chairman.I suppose McNally''s '' hard man '' image does him no favours with the media because if he''s p*ssed them off in the past they''ll be delighted to get the chance to put the boot in now. I agree that the criticism is a bit harsh, especially in hindsight following the death of his father, but to be fair none of us including the media knew about that at the time.There''s probably a few sports editors feeling a bit sheepish today though.

Do people really take any notice of this clown ?

Fair play that he was at Carrow Rd yesterday only a couple of days after his Dad passed away.He has feelings the same as the rest of us and from personal expeience it''s no wonder he was emotional at the final whistle.

Like Ricardo I reckon 38 points will be enough now so four wins will be plenty.Goes without saying it would be far less stressful to get everything done and dusted in the next 5 or 6 games.

When he signed he hadn''t played for months and his first game was against Man City !Feared he was in for a very hard time that day but he was brilliant and has been ever since.What do we know, eh ?

The first time in ages he wouldn''t have anything to moan about and he''s not there!Joking apart, his post match analysis was sorely missed.[/quote][:D]

[quote user="jas the barclay king"]if only the referee had applied the letter of the law vs Cardiff at home, when Fer rolled the ball into an empty net, and not simply have "invented" a rule to disallow a goal...[/quote]We''d have had to let Cardiff walk the ball into our net from the restart so wouldn''t have gained anything.

[quote user="nutty nigel"]For some there''s nothing cheerful about the club but eventually they will consume themselves in their own misery. How it ended for Justin shouldn''t define how it began and his achievements along the way. How it ended should define how people learn how to protect others from the same fate. There''s many people in the world have a lot to thank Justin for. Justin played a huge part in our great club''s history and our club played a huge part in Justin''s early life.   Here''s something else for you to watch Smithy. It may even cheer you up[;)]   http://www.eafa.org.uk/catalogue/5485    [/quote] Yes, I''m definitely a '' glass half empty '' case Nutty. Justin''s time at Norwich was a very cheerful time for City fans but his life went tragically downhill thereafter which overshadowed everything. I just felt that in this case '' something to cheer us up '' didn''t quite fit the bill. Nothing personal  and certainly nothing to do with being cheerful about NCFC generally. Thanks for the link. I don''t think I''ve seen it before and it''s a very good piece.

Bearing in mind how it all ended for Justin perhaps, " To cheer us all up " isn''t a subject header some would have chosen but have to agree that everything in his time at Norwich turned to gold.A real star indeed....

[quote user=" Zak Van Burger"][quote user="Ketts Rebel"].....The question about people being killed by a train was bizzare (yes really).[/quote]Yeah very odd still I found it helped if you imagined those "fans" in peril were Wiz, Hughtons P45, Waveney Canary etc......... Made it a real no-brainer [:)][/quote][:D]Joking aside if the fans in peril weren''t known to you personally you''d have to be a real hero - or a half-wit - to take the hit yourself.
