  1. [quote user="C.T "]shut up we8wba, go back to wolves.[/quote]There''s no need for this. All he is doing is stating the truth. While I sometimes don''t agree with him it''s totally out of order having a go at it when what he is saying is true. We all hoped but never in any realistic circumstance had a hope of  getting Jewell. This isn''t the first time I''ve seen you have a pop at him. What''s the point? Some people really do like to promote the Norfolk all being inbred and not liking outsiders stereotype.
  2. [quote user="Lincoln Canary"][quote user="we8wba"] just look last year he funded 8m on jerome n mcsheffrey alone [/quote] Wasn''t that after selling Jermaine Pennant and Emile Heskey for multiple millions, though? [/quote]Did you expect him to chain them to the goal posts? (that might at least keep Heskey on his feet)  That''s the only way you''d have kept them out of the Prem.
  3. [quote user="Citizen Journalist Foghorn"] [quote user="PJ Bimbo"][quote user="anothatracksuitmanager"]the same peter reid who was awful at both leeds and coventry, the same peter reid whose three tactics are 1: shout a lot 2: hit the ball upto a big man 3: shout a lot more Really the worst choice we could make.[/quote] Also the asme peter Ried that: Got Man City to 5th in the top flight twice in a row (1990,1991) Manager of the season twice in a row (1995,1996) Got sunderland promoted twice (1996, 1999) winning with a record goal count the second time Got Sunderland to the playoffs (1998) Manager of the season twice in a row (1995,1996) The sucesses far out way the faliures with Leeds and Coventry (but common Leeds? They were a doomed shiip when he took over) He has been out of the game for a bit which is a concern but some people really need to start smiling. Your lives must be so miserbale by always looking at the dark side. There are better managers out there but there are some that would be a hell of alot worse for us! [/quote] Actually PJ this is the same Peter Reid that Neil Doncaster brings up as an example of a bad appointment by Coventry, when quizzed about his own appointment of the utterly appalling disaster Peter Grant!! Oh the irony if they put him in charge.   Having said that he was always a decent manager until given 25 million which he wasted abysmally at Sunderland!!  Been on the slide ever since. [/quote]In that case he could be an awesome choice as there is zero chance of him being given 2.5 million let alone 25 million to spend! In reality, I''d be perfeclty happy with Reid, I think he''s a decent manager with experience and passion for the game. I think he''s pretty much exactly what everyone has been asking for (Ie experience at this level is undeniable) but some people and I''m picking nobody in particular just general City fans - won''t be happy unless we appoint Mr Mourinho and even then I''m sure they''d complain about the wages he''d require! I''d take Peter Reid any day over Glenn Hoddle, Colin (I know he''s got a job now) and their ilk.
  4. [quote user="jas the barclay king"][quote] 50-1? More like 5000-1!! If Walker was still any good he''d still be managing in this country!!!! [/quote] so would Jose Mourinho by that logic then.... jas :) [/quote]Yeah but if he wanted to he could, that''s the difference!
  5. [quote user="Cluck "] [quote user="Snakepit boys"]Looks like nothing has changed from our think they are clever board. They are clearly going to introduce a new manager just before the AGM instead of giving him more time with the players for the next game. They are spin merchants of the highest order. They should of been planning ahead for this and known who there man is! I am sure they do but will wait till just before the AGM to announce it. To deflect all the attention from them. They really are awful at there job. I dread the dull appointment that is sure to come with this Prudence with Prudence policy. Why not just announce it now ! The bookies clearly know and I guarantee that there will be a new man in by the AGM! They are more readable than our midfield! Get on with it and just admit your getting it thursday barring a miracle! Your time is up everyone can now see through your spin! [/quote] Well said!....... I hope you will notice that the "sheep" jibes have all but disappeared these days and the general tone of this forum has moved from "denial" to "acceptance"..... (I still reserve the right to play the "sheep" card should it apply however)      [Y]     [/quote] With the majority of the people now being against the board, wouldn''t the "sheep" card be played against the majority of the people who now follow the kill Delia Smith idea? I''m not particularly either the pro or anti-board (just generally disillusioned with everything going on), so not having a go at you, just a thought I had!
  6. Everyone wants Jewell as manager - Lots of people put bets on lead by their hearts - bookies think sh*t what happens if he does get the job - bookies shorten the odds just in case.
  7. [quote user="Terminate the ipswich"] Dont think so. I think we need him to use all his efforts on the pitch. Without him we could get relegated. You cant play and manage at the same time, it never works. I think Mike Walker should be our priority. [/quote]But this time Mike Walker won''t inherit an already awesome team! (Don''t get me wrong, I think Mike did a  good job but had more than a little luck on his side with regards to the team he inherited)
  8. [quote user="Scottlarock"]...only city thing to make me laugh today. Brilliant. How long will it take for someone to ask what Mike Walker is up to? [/quote]What is Mike Walker up to?
  9. [quote user="JC"] Everything is circumstantial, but I can assure you (look at my post and history) I am a normal level-headed supporter.  I just happen to have friends who are close to the club and relatives who are prominent in the local business community, so I hear a lot of things, and when I heard the same info from different sources I felt it may mean that something is going on.  I passed that on as best as I can while protecting identities.  That one of my sources claimed to have heard the main player talking about this at a dinner in a prominent London restaurant, an event I know both attended, made me think ''hey this is worth sharing''. The fundamental, and possibly most important point to take away from this thread has been made (I never thought I would say this) by Cluck.  This thread and the responses prove we all want the same thing, a decently run club with some sembelance of ambition.  I hope what I have heard does prove to be true as it could once again unite the people who support our fantastic club and county. [quote user="Le Juge"]I mean no disrespect and am not calling anyone a liar. However, something doesn''t add up, this seems too good to be true, too circumstancial, too much like some bloke got bored down the pub and told all his mates and the rumour spread. Don''t get me wrong, I really hope it will happen but do not for a second believe it will.[/quote] [/quote]I appreciate it and hope you take no offence to my post. I just don''t believe the rumour - football is full of them and 95% of them are complete rubbish. I hope people continue to post the rumours they hear as that is the only way we get news before it becomes news. However, something just doesn''t add up for me - all too convenient. Nothing personal.
  10. Idea''s not necessarily a bad one (although I don''t believe the rumour personally) but the application of the idea is where it falls down. Nobody will do it.
  11. [quote user="charlies dad"][quote user="Michael Starr"] [quote] You shouldn''t have reminded me. That was one of Norwich''s most shameful episodes. MW''s wife with terminal cancer must have obviously affected him but he stuck to his task, his wife passes away and instead of giving him 3 months of the new season they sacked him. What compassion, what loyalty ! I will always remember his first tenure as Norwich manager, being at the Arsenal Norwich game at Highbury, the opening game of the season I think. I was with my brother-in-law, a passionate Arsenal supporter from North London, and at half time we were losing 2-0. My brother-in-law was being duly magnaminous during the half-time break and I was feeling pretty low and apprehensive about the 2nd half. Norwich came out a different team, Ruel Fox had an absolute belter and unbelievably we went 4-0 up. My turn for magnaminity ! What I also remember was seeing for the first time a Norwich manager indulge in brinkmanship and time wasting as MW made substitutions in the 89th minute   !  Clearly a genuine competitor I thought……………. And the rest is history ! [/quote] OMG... Mark Robins hat trick on his debut... i remember that well... omg what wonderful times!!! [/quote] I was there, Robins only got two, Philips and Fox got the others. [/quote]Damn Robins that slacker, he could have at least got his third! ;)
  12. I mean no disrespect and am not calling anyone a liar. However, something doesn''t add up, this seems too good to be true, too circumstancial, too much like some bloke got bored down the pub and told all his mates and the rumour spread. Don''t get me wrong, I really hope it will happen but do not for a second believe it will.
  13. [quote user="ob1"] Please Grandad - stop banging on about the good old days... it''s a little pathetic. [/quote]While I pretty much disagree and ignore pretty much everything the original poster says - mostly because I believe it to be sensational for the sake of it "Chase was good" etc etc trying to get a response. In this case I think it''s brilliant to see all the results and league standings of the season. I remember the games and it takes me back - especially that opening day at Highbury.
  14. Yeah, last night was terrible. I come away miserable, that and Saturday makes me glad I don''t have my season ticket any more and I can go when I feel like rather than feeling like I have to turn up to every game regardless of how depressed (even before the game recently) I become as a result. [quote user="Canary Ben"] [quote user="Smudger"]Just do something (anything) otherwise we will keep laughing at you!!!  [:D][/quote]   TYPICALL SMUDGER REPLY ISNT IT REALLY! How about u go to a match binner, just for a change u no! I no i have said it before but only people that go should make the comments you do. I mean what happens, your mate goes, tell you what happened, and u think of a way to wind up people. this bard is for NCFC fans not id10ts like u! [/quote]He puts sets the bait and someone always bites... If people just ignored him, he''d stop. He''s doing it to annoy you. Why can''t people see it and just ignore it and carry on?  
  15. Gilks was being chased by Prem teams if what was said was true and came here to have a better chance of a game. Looks like he made the wrong choice, I can''t see Grant dropping Marshall for ANY reason at all. He''s teachers pet (by no fault of his own) and wouldn''t get dropped unless he couldn''t physically drag himself on the pitch. I agree about Marshall''s ability though - a very good keeper mostly but has a few alarming moments where you fear for what he''s going to do. Hasn''t been the rock we were told he would be but he''s definitely good enough. I think the keepers are the only position we are very well covered. I wouldn''t be upset to see Gilks, Marshall or young Joe (When back from loan) wearing the number one.
  16. Wasn''t he doing commentary for the welsh media?
  17. Everyone put the handbags down and step step away from each other.
  18. I am actually one of the few positive people on here about this season and haven''t changed my opinion once! I back Grant mostly (I think he''s suspect at subs and a few things but he''s not all bad) but in all honesty if he, in our current selection worry does not play Spillane and Jarvis from the start tomorrow then I will be disgusted. I don''t care if we had Pele on saturday against Wolves, if he''d played shocking he deserves to be dropped and replaced with someone who played well (Spillane and Jarvis) Pick a team on form, not reputation.
  19. [quote user="we8wba"] i doubt they sell hucks as thats the last straw for your supporters really, i remember when graham taylor dropped steve bull n subbed him, he got booted out soley for that as the bloke was complete ledgend, i think you lot hold hucks in same sort of opinion as he seems to be able to walk on ice with you lot i do feel his outburst on sat was wrong although he was right with his comments, surely that cant help the board, players etc... if you got hucks saying theyre rubbish when what excatly has he done in the wolves game? [/quote]Not with me mate, good player, not great and certainly causes problems when he''s played (he causes problems for both teams) We''ve definitely had better, Mark Bowen, now that was a player!!!
  20. [quote user="Nigel Worthless"] Good news regarding the Injury to Doherty. Hopefully he will be sidelined for as long as possible!! Perhaps Grant will now be brave enough to play some of the youngsters on Saturday. If only he would realise Huckerby''s best position is left midfield we might be a little better off. Shame we have run out of free Scottish Transfers or out of contract players!! [/quote]The problem with the injury to Doherty, apart from the fact he played really well yesterday and generally isn''t any worse than Shackell is despite the witch hunt against him - neither of them are good enough, yet Doherty gets all the abuse. Is that both Spillane and Jarvis played really well yesterday and are pretty much the only options I can see to go back into the defence with Dion, Shacks and Doherty unavailable. I''d like to see them both given a chance in midfield again on Saturday but that''s unlikely because Grant is likely to pick any half fit ''senior'' players to play and now they might be pushed into defence - the only bonus I can see in that is that means they''re more likely to get a game!
  21. [quote user="1st Wizard"][quote user="PJ Bimbo"] People only read your posts for a giggle they don’t care anymore what you think because they know it will change when we win a couple and then change again when we lose a couple.  [/quote] And you think I worry about your opinion or what other posters think of me, do you?. Then think again. You bury your head in the sand matey, and I''ll follow my own thoughts and council!. I trust that, whereas............................[:|] [/quote]So if you don''t care what other people think why do you bother posting random gibberish which wildly swings from one side of an arguement to another? Is it to get attention?
  22. [quote user="London_Canary"][quote user="1st Wizard"] Er?.......................we lost...................again!. So don''t speak for me Hog........we''re not wrong................you are....................again!. [/quote]   No one is right and no one is wrong! we all have our opinions about what Peter Grant and the current Norwich City team could and couldn''t do this season. We will only know who was right and wrong come early may when the season is finished. If you want to start moaning and complaing over a couple of performances and claiming there is no hope for us then go ahead and do that. I on the other hand intend to be optimistic and allow Peter Grant to have a fair chance to prove himself this season before claiming he''s not good enough after just 7 games.   Last nights performance was very encouraging, sure we lost and Man City didn''t have their strongest 11 out but there were some first teamers along with fringe players, that were good enough to turn Norwich over if we hadn''t of played well, also you have to take into consideration we didn''t have our strongest 11 too, so last nights performance was something to be proud of and is good reason to feel slightly more hopeful that we can take this onto our next Championship game. Like I said before two good performances and back to back wins in our next two home games and it turns our season on our head and makes all you people that continue to doubt us at this eary stage look very foolish! [/quote]Exactly right. Finally someone with some common sense. How anyone can declare themselves right and others wrong after 7 games is unbelieveable. It could all go wrong and end up near the bottom of the league or it could all go right and end up near the top. Nobody can tell yet and back to back wins would see 1st Wizard do his usual U-turn and put Grant, Doncaster, Delia etc back on their pedestal as the holy saviour of the club but back to back wins and he''ll sit there with little figures of them sticking pins in them spouting some rubbish about them intentionally sabotaging the club. I still think it''ll come good but nobody can tell and I''ll happily admit I was wrong if it doesn''t (well, not that happily) but even if we do win the next 3 games, I wouldn''t be screaming how great we are and how we''re going to win the league. I just wish others would stop from acting like a pendulum wildly swinging from one side to the other.
  23. [quote user="ZippersLeftFoot"] 4-4-2 for me, and assuming all fit (and dion suspended) I would go Marshall Ostembor  Doc Shax Drury Croft    Rusty  Brellier  Lappin            Strihavka  Hux Subs  Gilks, Cureton, Chadwick, Brown, Spillane  [/quote]Not quite the same as mine this time!            Marshall Semmy, Doc, Shacks, Drury Croft, Russell, Brellier, Lappin          Dave, Cureton Subs: Gilks, Spillane, Murray, Hucks, Brown Nothing against Hucks playing, just feel we need the defensive abilities of Lappin away against Wolves and I want to see Dave and Jamie playing together for a full game (or thereabouts) With Huckerby to definitely come on for either JC or Lappin depending if we''re winning or losing respectively.
  24. I''ve got an idea, why don''t we hire managers every year, give them a year to make a dramatic improvement to the team and then when they don''t because it''s simply too short of a time period, we should fire them and try someone else! That''ll help the club, squad and finances!
