[quote user="hogesar"][quote user="Arthur Whittle"][quote user="Shack Attack"][quote user="Smudger"][quote user="Shack Attack"][quote user="Arthur Whittle"] Funny???????? I suppose it would be for a 5 year old. Its boring mate and just pointless. And its true what i said, you percy positives seem good at reverting to silly posts when things are not going your way. Any chance of debating NCFC instead of you lot getting paronoid and start suggesting me smudge and the likes are all the same person? And you think im taking it serious!! [/quote] There you go Arthur, I''ve highlighted your problem for you. If you had bothered to read any of my recent posts you would know that I''m a long way from being a ''Percy Positive'' right now. Unfortunately you have seperated posters into two little camps because it makes things easy for you to understand. Ultimately things are not going anybodys way at the moment, because last time I looked we were third from bottom. That''s more important to me than which of two imaginary groups has got the upper hand on an internet forum. [/quote] hehehe Percy Positive!!! What will your excuse be for not protesting against this board after yet another defeat tonight Shack??? [/quote] Who said I was against protests Smudger? Seems you''ve got the same problem as Arthur. [/quote] Pointless posting again. You clearly have a problem too so we''ll just leave it shall we? I think its true to say there are diferent camps now and you know it just like me. [/quote] Leave it arthur. Shack''s ''WON''. If thats how you want it put. He doesn''t have a problem, you classed him as a ''percy positive'' and he''s said he''s not. Pretty straight forward. Even for me [/quote] "Shacks won", are you an immature so and so? My guess is your under 18? Now back on topic please.........

[quote user="cityangel"][quote user="Arthur Whittle"]  i think your missing the point in other posters reasoning for wanting us to lose. I personally wouldnt want us to get beat by any club but i can at least understand why they see it such way. I actually would go as far as saying they are some of our biggest supporters. [/quote]   Ah I get it now Arthur to be called a BIG SUPPORTER we''ve got to want our team to lose, thats the funniest thing Ive heard this week [:D] [/quote] What you fail to understand is that some people are prepared to make the sacrifice of witholding there right of not giving the club there hard earned money for an inept boared to squander away and fail the club season after season.....Why are these people not Fans? Imo they are suffering short term pain for long term gain. CA you really cant see the bigger picture can you? They do this in the hope of making an impact against something that very clearly is wrong and failing whilst you will continue to support it. I understand both views, yours being supporting the team no matter what, but i just cant understand how you refuse to see why others will act. The Badge is bigger than any player/board member or manager and to see it continue its decline in FOOTBALL is so very sad.

But unfortantly whilst 24000 people continue to go and people keep coming up with excuses for the so called saviours, we will end up there. Im beginning to notice that the so called fans who just cant seem to question the board are now coming up with the old excuse of following the team no matter what! And just think only a few years ago i went to Milan for the first time in my life and walked away feeling the most proudest i have ever felt in being from Norwich [/quote] And, presumably when we DO end up there you will cease to support your team, you are a classic example of a " So called fan " and not those who go to support their team regardless of the circumstances ! [/quote] My support for NCFC will never stop but ive handed over my season ticket this season after more years than most so dont give me the ''so called fan''. Im making a point that hurts like hell but at least im doing it for imo the better of the club. joke of a post if you ask me. Carry on lining the pockets whilst our team shrink before your very eyes.

[quote user="cityangel"] So are all the people who are willing QPR to win on Monday going to support the Scum in November too?? [/quote] Not a bloody hope in hell of me backing the London overspill they call Ipswich, or any other team for that matter but i think your missing the point in other posters reasoning for wanting us to lose. I personally wouldnt want us to get beat by any club but i can at least understand why they see it such way. I actually would go as far as saying they are some of our biggest supporters.

[quote user="mystic megson"] Not learning from previous mistakes.   [/quote] Spot on but if you run a club as one big family the heart will cloud the judgement of your head.

[quote user="PJ Bimbo"]As I said in another thread CA you won''t see any of the trouble makers there.. Exposed without the saftey of their keyboards and monitors converting their drivel into spoken rhetoric is beyond comprehension. The AGM and Meet The Board events will go by and the same people will moan that it is yet another Delia Smith ''love in'' making them look even more pathetic. I chalenge any one of Blemish, Cluckless or 1st Troll to put in an appearance and put in the same amount of abusive, groudless, liabelous slander they regurgitate on here on a daily bases. They call others spineless for not wanting to go on demos and force out the board and manager, how ironic then that they have not the balls to turn up to and tell the board face to face quite what they thnk of them. [/quote] Will you be there Bimbo? Every time ive expressed my views ive been shot down by people like yourself be it letters to the press, meet the board events, e-mails or face to face. I recently witnessed towards the end of last season one bloke who questioned MWJ only for a little army of clueless morons threaten to punch the lights out of the bloke questioning the ''Saviour''. They didnt even know the question being answered!. Im extremely tempted to make an effort to one because it now seems that the little fat boy being bullied in the playground has now got some friends and it would be interesting to see hear the excuses.

[quote user="PJ Bimbo"][quote user="cityangel"]I just wish that people who had strong feelings would turn up at the roadshows, fans forums and more importantly the AGM then their voice would be heard.   [/quote] The thing is CA as most of us know the most vocal trouble makers on this board and many others are nothing more than gutless keyboard warriors namely blemish, cluckless and 1st troll who have an excuse for every possible reason why they cannot, could not attend. They think sitting at their computer winding up city fans is the way to take this club forward. I just thank God none of them are ever going to get near to running this club. [/quote] Its interesting how anybody with a different opinion of the Board/Manager to yours is a troll/ wind up.  Why do you think this? Its a bloody message board where we debate different opinions for god sake. Get over it mate your sounding like a bloody little Hitler every time somebody slates the club. Ive followed city for 60 years so when i say somethings seriously wrong at CR it shouldnt make me out to be any less of a fan than someone like yourself with your head stuck in the sand. These are very grim times for city fans and the sooner you realise it the quicker we the fans can get it sorted.

[quote user="cityangel"][quote user="Arthur Whittle"][quote user="cityangel"][quote user="nutty nigel"] In the last couple of days Norwich City Fans have been called a disgrace, happy clappy fools, retards, brainless morons, mindless morons, shameful people who haven''t got a clue about football or life, shamefull people who would eat sh*t if it was sugared. If thats a campaign then yes there is one. All the fans can really do is support the club that is there in their time so they don''t deserve abuse for doing so. [/quote]   Top post Nigel which says it all. No-one minds anyone having an opinion whats different to theirs but do we have to put up with being called all the names under the sun! Cmon mods get your act together and sort it out!!! [/quote] Good on you CA but maybe after your insults about my spelling you might like to practice what you preach! [/quote]   I dont think that someone correcting a word you had spelt wrongly equates with being called morans, sheep, idiots, stupid, pathetic and so much more. Do you Arthur??? [/quote] Come on CA lets not play silly buggers, like i said please try and practice what you preach, you know aswell as me what you were trying to do. I dont really give a hoot but you must try to stick to what you say and you would get a little more respect from some corners.

[quote user="cityangel"] [quote user="rainbow"]totally disagree with boycots its times like this that we have to really get behind the team if you want to protest to or about the board then why not go to a road show, email neil doncaster, or write to the evening news letters page nobody wants peter grant to fail and if they do then they are very sad. if we don''t start winning then changes will be made by the board meanwhile lets give the team and manager a chance to turn things around[/quote]   I disagree with boycotts too and besides they count all the 20,000 season ticket holders anyway whther they are there or not. I just wish that people who had strong feelings would turn up at the roadshows, fans forums and more importantly the AGM then their voice would be heard.   [/quote] What to be shouted down by the clicky majority and accused of not being a REAL fan? Seen it happen to often.

[quote user="Indy_Bones"] [quote user="gorberzncfc"]Hi, this is my first post on here! I[/quote] If this can be taken as an example of the sort of stuff you''re intending to post, I hope this is your last. We may be underperforming at the minute, but the players are still human beings ffs. If you were having a bad time at work, you wouldn''t expect your boss to start screaming at you on Monday morning because he''d seen you out on the town over the weekend, so where do you get off slating the players for having a private life? [/quote] We have the greatest set of players under the stewardship of a legendary manager who is supported by a really ambitious board! Is that better Indy?

[quote user="Mark Rivers..."]You don''t know what his reasons are, it could be personal and nothing to do with football - and probably is as Saints aren''t doing much better than us.[/quote] Yeah its just amazing how many of our targets seem to have personal reasons for not wanting to come here! Never had this problem a few years ago did we? Hucks? Lets bury this old excuse shall we?

[quote user="sdldjl"]no hes way way past his best[/quote] But Dions ok?? We have become reliant on the oldest player in the team so why not?

[quote user="London_Canary"][quote user="Cluck "] You appear not to be on your own then blubblub (surprise surprise).......but you are sadly deluded. The only way this season can be revived now is to have Smith and Co. evicted sooner rather than later....Spincaster booted out immediately....Grant given his cards.....the bulk of the squad loaned out to East Stirling....and a new investor brought in to choose his own staff and quality of player. So yes...it can still be turned around......but not in the way you suggest...... [/quote]   See this is what I just don''t get about you and your chums, you demand change and constantly moan about everything in the most negative way possible and then when it comes to your own solutions on what would make the club change for the better they are neither realistic or better solutions. Who will replace Grant and the Bored? Someone better hopefully... I guess so... but who''s that going to be then because there isn''t any guarantee it will be a better replacement considering the way things have been going recently at the club, which will only unsettle the players on the pitch far more than they are now, your like a bunch of old women really, just get over yorself and face the facts that were not a huge club and Peter Grant and his team are what we have got right now so just support the club untill any change does happen, which I hope will be for the better, but ultimately it''s still very early days and I refuse to accept that PG can''t push Norwich in the right direction after a mere 9 games into the season. [/quote] Wake up time i think.....your right mare, we are not a big club, but we do have bigger attendances then all the teams in our league and a good few in the prem and still manage to pull off great results such as the one at wolves where our only shot hit the corner flag! Head and sand springs to mind.

[quote user="blahblahblah"]A quick look at the league table - apologies for the formatting and for making you look at this in general... Top 6 - third column from the end is goals conceded. 1     Watford                     9      6      2      1   15   11      20      4 2     Charlton                      9     5     3     1     15     9     18     6 3     West Brom                 9     5     2     2     19     8     17     11 4     Barnsley                     9     4     3     2     15     13     15     2 5     Coventry City             9     4     3     2     14     13     15     1 6     Bristol City                 9     3     5     1     12     10     14     2 17     Southampton            9     3     1     5     16     21     10     -5 18     Crystal Palace          9     2     3     4     11     11     9     0 19     Sheffield Utd           9     2     3     4     16     17     9     -1 20     Preston NE             9     2     3     4     10     12     9     -2 21     Leicester City          8     1     5     2     8     8       8     0 22     NORWICH CITY  9     2     2     5     5     10       8     -5 23     Sheffield Wed         9     2     0     7     7     16       6     -9 24     QPR                       8     0     3     5     7     20       3     -13 We''ve let in fewer goals than Watford so far this season.  In football stability and consistency starts at the back, you get the keeper right, then the defence gains confidence in the man behind, so you become difficult to beat.  Once you become difficult to beat, you start to score goals, at least you do if you have someone who can link play to the forwards. I''d be more worried if I was a Southampton fan at the moment, they''ve leaked more goals than QPR, more than 2 a game.  At least we know that if we score 2 in a game, we''ve got a good chance of a win. Last seasons'' final places for this league.

Cue abuse. [/quote] I really hope so but my head says PG has lost the dressing room and his signings are just not up to it apart from one or two. All the teams that you would say are weaker on paper seem to be playing as a unit where as we dont really know from one week to the next what is expected.

[quote user="blahblahblah"][quote]P.S. The blue and white makes me uneasy but i find the avator quite comical and unfortunatly i cant take the credit for it[/quote] 1st time i have seen a Lee Oliver post on here since i joined and i have had no contact with him or wayne, what are you suggesting? That me a man in my early 70s would go to the trouble of creating other people? Perhaps thats how you do things but not me son. I believe Lee oliver had enough of this site after the abuse he got. P.S. City Angel-Yes or No? Would the credit for that belong to the mysterious Lee Oliver who moved to Wales where they don''t have the internet so he can''t post on here, but who magically re-appears whenever you need to reinforce a point ? Forgive my cynicism, whatever happened to Wayne thingy ? [/quote]

Cant see anything other than a city win despite the way we are playing. QPR are simply awful from what ive seen this season and leak goals like hell.1-3 city

[quote user="cityangel"] I have already answered your question Arthur, I support the team. As for your avatar, that blue and white scarf makes me feel quesy. [:)]   [/quote] Thanks for the reply CA, but does not quite answer the question. Im not trying to cause an argument here, we all support the team, ive stated this on a number of occasions, what im asking is do you support the board yes or no? P.S. The blue and white makes me uneasy but i find the avator quite comical and unfortunatly i cant take the credit for it.

P.S. After answering my Yes or no question, please explain why you object to my avatar if you dont support Delia? Again do you support the board Yes or No?

[quote user="cityangel"] [quote user="Arthur Whittle"]So constantly defending Delia and co when someone such as i , smudger etc make our feelings known is not supporting the board? I could drag up all your posts where you argue in there defence but the pink un moderaters probably wouldnt get home till next xmas. You dont do yourself any favours do you with comments like that.[/quote]   If you can drag up any posts of mine since the season started where I either defend or support the board then I''ll buy you a pint of whatever you''re drinking Arthur. The only two post of mine that I can find in the past few months, which even mention anyone on the board are 1)  Where I say that at least Doncaster replies to emails 2)  Where I reply to a question as to whether Delia was at a recent away game. My main problem with Smudger is the continual moaning about team performances which he doesn''t ever see, the constant name calling of us posters and his open desire to see us lose.   [/quote] So please answer my question-do you support the board. Yes or no?

[quote user="cityangel"][quote user="Arthur Whittle"][quote user="cityangel"] Arthur, As Gazza says I''m a season ticket holder and have been for well over 25 years, first got hooked when my Dad took me a couple of times and have been a passsionate supporter ever since. I went to most of the friendly games pre season and so far I''ve been to Hull and Manchester City  this season and my next trip will be the WBA game. May I ask what that tells you about me and please be nice[:D] CA   [/quote] Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay in response. The truth is i did think you came into the game late mainly because of your very strong support for the board which could of suggested you not knowing any different and your love of all things Huxs. Anyway the only thing that doesnt sit well with me still is the fact that after following city passionatly since the early 80''s and thus seeing us reach the highest the club has ever been in the following decade, you still support a board who has now taken us down to the lowest point in your supporting years. How can this be CA? Regards. [/quote] Show me one post of mine where I have shown strong support of the board Arthur, dont think you''ll find any. I support the team, the players out there wearing the green and yellow, always have and always will. [/quote] Simple question CA-do you support the board? Yes or no? No Doncaster style spin and worming your way out of the question, just a simple Yes or No?
