[quote user="Pablo Picarsole"]I thought you meant he''d turned up at Morrisons or Asda or somewhere in a Lincoln Continental.[/quote] Haha! Awesome! Probably tried to get the bus....but missed it.

[quote user="cityangel"] Still nothing on the Lincoln or NCFC website and nothing on Radio Norfolk today. [/quote] Yeah but Wiz knows so we can just wait for him to tell us all...

I only thought it cos I read the blog, not really anything in it but I know he scored against us. Like I said he is a more physical presence than some of our other options and if (or when) Cureton goes surely that will free up wages for another attacking option. I''m sure a free transfer would suit our budget too.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulfletcher/2009/12/pericard_bounces_back_after_in.html#177458 His contract is up in January, as he only signed a short term deal. Would he be good backup/competition for Holt now it looks like Jamie is going to be off? Would leave us with: AM: Hoolahan, McNamee, Daley ST: Holt, Martin, McDonald, Pericard (?), Doc (joke!) 

[quote user="......and Smith must score."]Life''s a bitch.....[/quote] Then you marry one?

Maybe if Col U sold extra tickets they could afford undersoil heating. Their game tomorrow is off cos of the snow. What will the 10 or so season ticket holders do now?

Awesome.

[quote user="Big Bad John"][quote user="GJP"][quote user="Big Bad John"][quote user="GJP"]  Best not to get too carried away... [/quote] he without doubt has the ability to one day perform at Premier League level, [/quote] Lol. [/quote] It''s called a ''Straw Man'' argument, and you clearly do it well sir.[Y] [/quote] Surely having the ability to do something and actually doing it are two completely different things?

[quote user="Magnificent Seven"] Just got two tickets in W2..... so easy.......no questions asked......walked away with them in my hand. heh heh. I also know of 1,850, many whom I know personally, who have got tickets in the South stand. Most have said they are gonna wear blue and white so they don''t get picked out.   ''Play with yer balls City'' [/quote] Comedian

I have decided to sack off the draw or sitting in the home end and get one of the players to get me some freebies, haha.

[quote user="First Jedi"]"My OP wasn''t meant as a dig at him. I hope he does go on to be a legend. I was just saying that its a big statement to say you want to be like one of the most influential players in the clubs recent history. " Would you have preferred him to aspire to be like Strihavka or something? ;)[/quote] No but like others have said it would have been more sensible for him to play with commitment and passion, along with (what we have been told) his pace and skill. In my opinion thats a better way to get the fans on his side. From what I have heard about his style of play, I imagine he would have been compared to Huckerby at some point along the line, provided he plays well, but to bring it on himself before he has even kicked a ball seems strange to me.

Talk about setting yourself high standards...I just hope he gets a chance to prove himself and doesn''t get slated if he has a bad game or (shock horror) we lose a game.

Apparently Bradford fans have named him "JLS"

[quote user="glove1"]yes we may have lost but i got 5 numbers in the lottery last night and won £2381. today had £30 on drogba scoring first against arsenal and won £210......... not a bad weekend!!!![/quote] Nice one glove! Always good to hear a story of a winner! Me and my mates had a good weekend gambling too, Saturday was so-so but Sunday had Liverpool, winnings went on Chelsea, winnings went on Barca and then some winnings went on Milan who scored two in injury time!

Doc?

[quote user="IncH_HigH"][quote user="eagle"] I think transport routes may also be a problem, Norfolk is a pain in the backside to get to and the roads would be rammed. Think about thousands of extra people trying to travel through Elevden on the A11! Its a nightmare as it is! From a stadium point of view, I think you are right, we could expand and like you say continue to use the facilities in the future. The council could have had a greater influence but they may not see a one off event as a big deal, whereas with some of the other long term projects they may think the focus should lie elsewhere. [/quote] The world cup games are 2018 the dualling from Thetford to Barton Mills is due to be finished in 2012 so that would not be an issue. [/quote] Cool, sorry I didn''t relaise that. It''s a pain in the arse every time I go to London for work!

If you''re walking you should have started by now

Really good article that. I went to Uni in Lincoln so I have always looked out for their results, now I have even more of a reason to check for them! I even know a couple of the players there (one of the keepers was even signed from the Uni team above the one I played in!). I hope Sutton does well, like Cam says he is obviously looking for loan players and has been at our reserve games. Lincoln is a nice place and it would be ideal for a few of our fringe/young players to go there and get some game time. Players like Stephens, Adeyemi, Daley, even Cody Mac, could learn a lot from playing there for a few months.

[quote user="CanaryJames"]  Don''t all Barry Butler Trophy winners automatically get a place in the Hall of Fame? Which would obviously explain Dublin being in there. Although in truth, I''d happily vote him in regardless. He may not have been here in glorious times, or at the peak of his career, but to have someone of that class (both on and off the pitch) associated with the club in such a way is an honour. He remains one of the best players - at the ripe old age of 39 - I''ve seen pull on a Norwich shirt. The only regret I have with him is that we were only fortunate enough to see him play here for 2 seasons at the end of his career, when it should have been much more, much earlier. A true gent, and a fantastically gifted and intelligent player to boot. I''m somewhat at a loss with Munby though! Although you could argue he ''played a part'' in our promotion...contentious! [/quote] I''d echo everything you say about Dion. The guy is true class and to have him represent the club is top class. It just seems strange that we are getting such a big hall of fame! I would be interested to look at the full list of entrants.

To be fair the guy has a point. I went to music festivals over the summer and no one said you had to take precautions. Thousands of people go shopping/clubbing etc every day in major cities and they shouldnt stop doing this because they may get swine flu. I''m sorry but to tell a pro footballer not to spit is like telling them not to swear, its always going to be part of the game.

Our hall of fame does seem quite big!

That website is Mike Milligans website, which explains a lot of the NCFC connections. I think he is still local. I saw him in a bar with Darren Eadie and Iwan Roberts on the same night that the Matt Le Tissier and Paul Merson night was on at the football ground. He said it was his site and I had a look. Looks like a decent idea but not sure whether it will really take off due to the massive popularity of youtube.
