Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man

I'd have guessed Pukki 2018/19. More chance of it happening in a 46-game season and I remember Holt plundering a few hat-tricks. The fact the question is being asked makes me think it's something more obscure though...

As much as I love the bloke and still maintain that he should never have been sacked, going back for a second spell rarely works. We could do a lot worse, mind.

After having a quick think and drawing blanks, I guessed it was probably someone from around a century ago in the early days of organised football that I'd never heard of. I got that bit right, at least!

Too late for the six, but I'll go Bayern Munich for stats purposes. For our game, I think it'll be a struggle, but we'll edge it. Norwich winning margin of one goal is 11/4.

He was solid but unspectacular in midfield, had the best half-season of his career on the left wing, and was then moved back into midfield for the rest of his career...

I think he's been ditched by every club he's been at because of attitude more than anything, and whilst he clearly is a very good player, he's not quite good enough for the clubs to put up with when he's being a ****.

Well, if you're paying... But saying that, in the first Farke promotion season of 2018/19 I actually managed to experience the perfect blend of Lambert 2010/11 and Farke 2018/19. I had a season ticket at Lecce in the Italian Serie B who followed an eerily similar path to Lambert's side. The season before, in the third tier, Lecce had a poor start and changed manager after three games. The new man implemented a 4-3-1-2 system which saw them storm up the table and win the league. The next season, still with the same formation based around a diminutive, gifted left-footed attacking midfielder and a well-travelled targetman centre forward, they went up in second place after having picked up a lot of points with late goals. And with Norwich also having an unexpected promotion going on at exactly the same, I was feeling it twice over. So whilst I have never managed to see a promotion as a season ticket holder at Norwich, I have at least seen two elsewhere...

I wasn't there as I was away at uni, but the Goreham commentary is probably my favourite piece of commentary of all time. Come to think if it, I was living away for both of the best periods in recent times (Lambert and Farke) so only attended sporadically. Can't help but feel I missed out somewhat 😢

I don't know, if you look at the current market and the fees that Man Utd and Chelsea in particular have been paying recently, £60m for either of those two is more than a fair price. Manchester United and Chelsea have both spent similar fees or more on inferior players.

My thoughts exactly. Coventry are likely to be out of the running anyway by the time they play Ipswich.

I'd argue that the players who actively harangue the refs have the easiest route, personally.

I think the real question is how many free season tickets he gets for that level of shareholding. Surely it must stretch to third cousins once removed?

I know the generally accepted belief in football is that it's an advantage to play the second leg at home, but I've always felt it's better to play at home first. The common view is that it's best the keep it tight away and then you know what you need to do at home, but I think that taking the initiative and getting a lead at home before defending it away is preferable. It also goes along with the old saying of 'you can't win a two-legged tie in the first leg, but you can lose it'. Less chance of losing it at home.

I'd much, MUCH rather play them in the semis than the final. There is no safety net in the final if the worst happens. Also, beating them in the playoffs after they've had their best season for over two decades whilst ours has been pretty average would be absolutely delicious.
