The Huckerby Delusion

[quote user="Sports Desk - Pete"] General public put their thoughts to camera or, if camera-shy, just on a dictaphone. [/quote] I can say I''ve never used a dictaphone before. I use my fingers like most people!

I''d like to think that there will be a couple of eminantly wallopable teams in league one, but for some reason Swindon and Yeovil stand out for me.

LOL, that clears that up then.

Official Site says Number 26 belongs to welsh defender David Stephens?

[quote user="singing canary"]sammy and wes are still contracted to norwich city . and will play a part of this team unless bids of which norwich consider good enough to let them go . as pre season friendliy games are now going to start they need squad numbers to play a part .[/quote]I didn''t think you needed a squad number for pre-season games, remember those trailists we had in Sweden last year? don''t think they were given squad numbers.Also rumor has it that both are happy enough to stick around unless the club want to sell.

[quote user="ACE"]So just to re-cap we are all, including Pete, sitting here posting while listening to Radio Norfolk. The things we do for the club....[/quote]Could this all be an elaborate BBC plot to boost  roy''s listening figures?

[quote user="Sports Desk - Pete"]Big news from Radio Norfolk. Roy Waller will be wearing shorts tomorrow. [/quote]I chuckled at that, lets hope that his shorts leave ''plenty to the imagination!''

[quote user="WeAreYellows49"]lol it''s a game called fly swat, I put a link to it for people to pass the time until the press conference at the RNS[/quote]I can confirm Fly Swat is annoyingly adictive!

Yesterday he was 6ft 3, today 6ft 4, by the time the season kicks off the lad could be taller than Robert Wadlow!It would be lovley if Archant and the boys over at Myfootballwriter could do a quick wikipedia check.

Got my letter this morning, and must admit I was fully planning on keeping my rebate, but this wonderful club of ours is now making me feel guilty for doing it. I can just imagine as we''re languishing in mid table come may the excuse being that "if only the fans had given more money back we could have kept Clingan or at the very least paid to get rid of Jon Otsemobor " GRR. 73 quid is no small amount, but I supose if Foulger speaks the truth, neither is 2million.

[quote user="CANARYCHARGE"][quote user="Yorkshire Canary"]Despite all the controversy i was very please to hear Gunns explanation of out future transfer policy. he is to target proven league 1 and 2 players. This is exactly what we should have done several years ago instead of the constant loans. There are some very good prospects in the lower divisions many who could make the step up to a higher level. many are "hungry" to prove themselves and despite what many cynics say a club like Norwich will be very attractive to many of them. We want and need our team. It is also clear that people like Croft had made their mind up ages ago to clear off and we need a virtual clear out to get players with guts, confidence and work ethic. For years Norwich have filled their ranks with over paid players who think they are better than they are, many who go on the piss the same day we frequently get beaten. Things will be much better than a lot fear[/quote] Gunn was the scut under roeder, so he had a hand in bringing the crap we have in!!! whats going to change???? sad times![/quote]My thought would be that the scout takes his direction from the gaffer in most cases. "Bryan I''m looking for a good loan striker, can you find me one?" rather than Gunny going to Glenn with what He''d spotted, by the looks of things when he did this he was largely ignored. I''d guess that the Alan Gow saga last year would be proof. I''d imagine that that would be how the roedent worked anyway.

Bryan Gunn: "We hope Plymouth put on a performance against Barnsley in front of their own fans."More than the shower of sh*te you were in charge of tonight managed eh Bryan? T*osser

[quote user="Lol Morgan"]Mooney was outstanding at Birmingham. Ran his nuts off.[/quote]Maybe thats why he''s out? he''s having nut replacement surgery!

Anyone know what time the city hall car park opens it''s gates? thinking of going early today watch the man u liverpool game

Well said canaryjock, Marshy has been inconsistent of late but tonight he pulled off a couple of top draw saves and was generally very good (lets forget about the clearance early on though).  The "Banks-esque" save was truly a world class save, if that was Almunia or Cech they''d be raving about it for weeks.

Apologies for awful grammer in that post!

I think stopping the game is the wrong idea, but mixing the teams up..why not. Whilst alot of your points about it toughening kids up, and teaching them the harsh reality of the real world a valid; you seem to be forgetting (IMHO) the most important thing about youth sport. It''s supposed to be fun.My ole man suggested instead of stopping the game or swapping players round why not make everybody play out of postition, swap strikers for center backs, put a winger in goal etc. Along with being fun sport at youth level should be about learning and improving when I played junior rugby occasionally they would play us out of our preffered position because at 7 or 8 theres no way of knowing how your going to develop, I went from scrum-half to full back to prop to second row to flanker. quite an adolesence!

I''m trying to stay positve, but I''m waiting for the sucker punch goal that QPR are bound to score..

[quote user="Dan-NCFC"]Reckon Cureton will be dropped?[/quote]Think this could be a big night in both Gunny''s and Banjo''s career. Gunny needs to show he''s got the cojones to make the changes. think it could be the end for jamie

I didn''t see any gestures made by him to the crowd He just turned to the barclay and shrugged his shoulders.I think he''s been an exellent keeper for us, but has made too many mistakes this season. Whats the point on having Stuart Nelson, thier to put pressure on Marshy, if when Marshy''s form drops he knows he''s still going to play? Give Nelson a game, show Marshall he needs to buck his ideas up, plus we need to see Nelson in action if (in all likely hood) he''s going to be first choice next year.

Our next manager, be it Gunny or who ever, needs a long term contract of 3 or even 5 years. Look at the teams that usually get relegated, they change their manager at the drop of a hat, Charlton,  Leicester and this season with Pompey and Blackburn looking likely. most successful sides have stability. I honestly thinks its going to take 3 to 5 years to sort out this mess, so the board should get their man and stick with him.

Door to Door salesman for Clintons, He loves getting his cards out.

        I don''t think this will happen, and it is a worse case senario but at the moment we are in danger of being cut-off at the bottom. At the moment the table looks like this:                                          Played        Points16 Derby               30               3517 Plymouth         31               3518 Forest               31              3419 Donny Rovers  30              3420 Norwich           32              3221 Barnsley           30              32-----------------------------------------------22 Watford           30               3023 Southampton   31               2824 Charlton          31               22 But if the other clubs win their games in hand:                          Played        Points 16 Derby               32               41 17 Donny Rovers  32              40 18 Barnsley           32              38 19 Plymouth         32               38 20 Forest               32              37 21 Watford           32               36 ----------------------------------------------- 22 Norwich           32              32 23 Southampton   32               21 24 Charlton          32               22We desperatly need to win against preston in my view. I''m fully behind Gunny but its now no win in 4, despite a very creditable performance against Wolves.

I think He''ll give Banjo one last go, he''s a confidence player, you drop him to the bench and I think that''ll be him finished for the year. Carney sounds worth a start but I still fancy Hoolahan at home. Leijer hopefully can help us stop shipping so many goals maybe give him a run out?Team that should start:               MarshallSemmy  Doc Grounds Bertrand(if fit)Crofty  Clingan Rusty Hoolahan             Killan Gow(I dont think Asda''s fit enough to start 2 in a row)Team that probably will start:                Marshall Semmy  Doc Grounds Drury Crofty  Clingan Fozzy Carney             Banjo   Rusty
