    Lessingham Canary ...I used to do this ....... when I was a kid but I am now in my 40s .In fact Liam Brady invited me onto the Arsenal team bus for a chat , the game when we won 2-1 and Roger Hansbury saved their penalty.

    I am a bit disappointed with the club to be fair.About a month ago I wrote to the club asking for a certain players autograph , addressed to the player himself and requesting 2 personally signed autographs for 2 people ( one was for a family member and one was for one of my friends ,a huge football fan overseas), they weren''t even for me.So far I have heard nothing.I don''t know who to blame , the player or the club.Maybe I was expecting too much , nethertheless , Norwich city football club , you owe me the price of a first class stamp on a self addressed envelope. What i find galling was that one of my workmates once wrote to Steven Gerrard at LFC and received a colour signed photo for his son no problem.

    The real sickener would be if the teams above us drop points and our rabble are just going through the motions thinking about their hols in Dubai or Florida and failing to capitalize on this stroke of luck.If our team is motivated enough to really go for it from now on then it would put enormous pressure on the teams currently in the play off postions.Fans won''t tolerate another no show against the Vile.

    Speaking of the international break , which team do you think we could be a match for , give a good game ? If Chelsea are Germany and say Leyton Orient/Newport are American Samoa. I can remember when we were going for the title in 1989 Arsenal played a friendly against France at Highbury and beat them 2-0

    Rob Butler..... he wouldn''t be that expensive and his knowledge of football is second to none .

    I want to get my hands on a Norwich adidas pinstripe shirt from the early 80s.Really hard to find , I don''t think the away white adidas even exists anymore.

    You tight git , why don''t you unload some of your net worth into our club so we can escape the mediocrity.You can''t be short of a few bob with "Logan" making truckloads of cash at the moment all over the world.

    A sick , senseless , spineless sham.That''s my adjectives to describe Saturday''s performance. Go up to Hillsborough and go toe to toe with a half decent Wednesday team, how hard can it be ?Even if we had lost by the odd goal I would have accepted that we had tried our best and came up short but that result is just unacceptable.I can remember our 2002 play off final squad. .As a team we were extremely flawed but that group of players had character and spirit , something that todays squad lack apparantly.Time to rip up the players contracts. Pay them minimum wage with win bonuses to boost their paypackets.It worked ok when the likes of Flecky and Dale Gordon were playing

    Hugh Jackman has reminisced in an interview about going to Carrow rd a couple of times when he was a youngster.He recalled the terrace chants if I am not mistaken.Also I spotted Al Pacino in the crowd at the time he was making "Revolution" in Kings Lynn.I asked him for an autograph but instead he gave me the Michael Corleone "Death Stare".

    When watching Jack''s five a side team videos he seems to have a flair with commentating. If he decides to go down this road he should study the late great Brian Moore , head and shoulders above the commentators on Sky and Match of the Day.A true broadcasting legend.

    Jack''s ok , it''s just that his "mates" he goes to games with like "Poindexter" , "Shrek" and "Nick Nack" lower the tone.

    We shouldn''t be flumoxed as to why Lakey doesn''t go to games .He spends his weekends in Cumbrian Travelodges with a bag of Bolivian marching powder and a couple of Romanian hookers.

    Looks like Carrow Road is only going to be half full for the Newcastle clash on Tuesday.With blokes out and about in the city centre restaurants keeping their significant other happy.

    I love watching Jack''s Talk Norwich city channel.The bloke certainly has the gift of the gab.One thing though , When Jack travels to away games , he sure has got some ugly mates.

    Lakey , how about a photo of you at the game last night, dressed up in your yellow and green garb.
  24. George Smiley
    True , You only have to listen to Canary Call

    I started going to games in 1979 , in fact the first game I went to was Norwich v Manure and finished 2-2 , I think Robson and Paddon scored for us.I like to think I am a bit knowledgeable about our history from then on. I can recall some obscure players who used to play briefly for us like Shaun Elliot , Nick Tanner, Jason Minnett,Graham Benstead,Simon Ratcliffe but I am clueless about our history before then.Players like Colin Suggett, Phil Boyer and Ted McDougall were before my time .
