Now I reckon old Morison''s getting a bit of gyp because he doesn''t naturally look busy. If you remember that Chrissy Martin, he used to run around an awful lot but because he didn''t have sweat pouring off his brow and pump his arms like an olympic sprinter, and because he was alongside Holty, people reckoned he was lazy and I think the same misfortune has befallen Morison.

I used to sit in the Sandpit myself, years ago, but then moved to the shelter of the Wensum Stand where that old North wind don''t blow through you like a dose of salts.

Now then young ''un, weren''t you just talking about free speech on another thread, and now here you are asking for a couple of us to be banned? Seems to me like you need to practice what you preach. As well as punctuate what you preach.

They could do with giving the Barclay stairs a good old sweep too, I tell you. Last time I was walking up them steps I nearly slipped on a Calippo wrapper and broke my neck. I reckon that''s the price we pay for on field success but that won''t be a price worth paying when someone does actually die in a litter-related accident. I just hope that''s not me.

Now then, with the spirit of Christmas descending on us and old Jack Frost nipping at these old toes, I reckon this week that''s time to head off to Italy where Napoli will beat Bologna. I done a bit of research and Napoli haven''t yet lost at home, whereas Bologna have lost 7 of 8 away from home.
So that look about as nailed on as Terry Wogan''s wig.

I don''t reckon I can see beyond Porto this week so I''ll have a bit of that. Good luck you crazy old fools and see you in the next world.

Now then, I was lucky enough to get eight tickets for this one so feel free to send me a private message if you are interested in a ticket as we might be able to come to a mutually agreeable solution, if you get what I mean. I''m nudging and winking but it doesn''t translate onto a computer screen.

Now then me old beauties. As a lad I spent a bit of time in Galway and there''s nothing like finding a leprachaun in your stocking after a night on the tiles. I am therefore going to offer you the option of Crusaders, second in the Irish Premier League, beating Dungannon Swifts who are near the bottom and look dreadful away from home.
Good luck, god bless and mine''s a shamrock.

Good evening me old muckers.
Athletico Madrid are in fine fettle with a home record of played six, won six, and while Sevilla are seventh in the league they are thirteen points behind and have lost three of six away games.
Athletico Madrid..... home win.
The very best of British luck to you all, even if you aren''t actually British.

Good evening and apologies for my late entry, as I once said to Joanna Lumley as I bent her over the trolley on the London to Edinburgh express train.
Anyway, this week I fancy Newport, in Gwent, to beat Hyde, somewhere deep in Jekyll.
The best of British luck to you, assuming I can still say that without being called a racist.

[quote user="smooth"]It will be a monumental achievement, this year is much harder in this division. The calibre of the teams are higher, there are clubs with less inner turmoil than last year, we are not playing with the surprise factor of being a promoted team and the teams who are in this league have much more ££££ than the teams who were in this league last year.
Hence silly comparison, but with the calibre of our players being in this division at the end of the year is achievement.[/quote]Well that''s a rum old remark. "The calibre of our players" being more or less the same squad who finished 12th last season with some fair old quality additions........
-
[quote user="Ted Danson"]agree with all of the above...
how strange it feels that we are now loaning our youngsters out to the likes of Boltonwhen a few years ago it might of been the other way around![/quote]
Well I prefer the way the wind''s blowing these days, that''s for certain.
A lot of players try to do something funny when they first join, to fit in with the new squad. Let''s hope he doesn''t let himself down by bursting a crisp packet behind Fabrice Muamba.
-
Well now, I reckon it''s like this.
"Just" keeping us up would be more of an achievement than winning League One, and on a par with gaining promotion from the Championship. It would all but clear those remaining debts and mean we could be solvent and safe if and when the old big top collapses on itself and football clubs have to go back to living within their means again.
But it wouldn''t be close to what we achieved last season with a rum old bunch of youngsters and journeymen, and to match that achievement Hughton would need to improve on what we achieved by finishing better than twelfth place.
Tenth or higher and he can have his own wing of the Castle Museum, but first and foremost I hope he manages another few points on Saturday and keeps the club going in the right direction after an awful start.

[quote user="lake district canary"]Funny
how old bor bor bor diappears then Mungo appears then mungo disappears (close season) and bor bor reappears and - so it goes on..............................[/quote]Funny how sometimes there are cows in the field when it rains, and sometimes there aren''t any cows, and sometimes there isn''t any rain. Do I detect a pattern there? Now let me think on that a while, I may be onto something.
Ah, that''s it. Funny how Lake District Canary turned up after Blue Mike went missing. Funny how Obama won the election on the day I had spaghetti hoops for dinner. Coincidences? If you say so.

Now then, I reckon this week PSV Eindhoven, who have a perfect home record, will beat a team called Heerenveen who haven''t won an away game this season and may not improve their record this time out. Good luck, merry Christmas and don''t tell him Pike.
-
I am heading to Sweden this week, partly out of nostalgia for some film work I did there in the early seventies, but mostly because I believe Elfsborg, who are joint top of the Swedish league and have a 12-2-0 home record, will beat Atvidabergs FF who are lower mid-table and leak goals like I leak after the Norwich beer festival.
Good luck, god bless, and bon voyage.

Now I know a little bit about Turkey, having spent a couple of years in one of their prisons in the early nineteen-eighties. And it was nothing like Midnight Express, let me tell you. I can laugh about it now, but at the time it was terrible.
Anyhow, I reckon top of the table Galatasaray will deliver you lovely pickers some Turkish Delight by beating lowly Kayseispor, who couldn''t get as much as a kiss from a camel.
Good luck, and auf wiedersehn.

In Holland, PSV Eindoven have played four home games and scored seventeen goals. THey are playing Willem II who look quite poor by the sounds of it, so PSV to win at home please.
Good luck to you all, my fine feathered friends.

I reckon if his Norwich team couldn''t take that England team then there''s something rotten about. Norwich to draw 1-1 at home with England getting one on the break, and then Norwich win 1-0 at Wembley with a header from a corner or some other set piece where all the England players mark each other and let three of ours go free to do what they like.

[quote user="BlyBlyBabes"][quote user="Bor Bor Bor"]I imagine Hughton''s no different to the rest of us old boys; as we get older, we all find we have to GO NOW. I''ve taken to carrying a funnel and an empty bottle of Tizer.[/quote]
Where do you carry the Tizer bottle, Bor?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19959510The "curious county".That''s quite fitting really, as I''m curious why anyone would want to live there. Or maybe they''re all curious as to what Marcus Evans looks like. -

I didn''t want to say nothing before, but old Bor has a couple of friends in high places up Carrow Road and Hughton will have this season to keep us up, and until next Xmas if we get relegated to see if he can get us straight back up there.I reckon Hughton will be Norwich manager longer than Hughes will be QPR manager, and longer than Rogers will be Liverpool manager.
The cult of Grant Holt
in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Posted
Let''s say that if we do sign a striker, he has to be better (in Hughton''s opinion) than what we currently got - i.e. Holty.
Now I was pondering this yesterday and I reckon if we did get a big signing to play up front then would the crowd give him a fair crack of the whip, or would they be calling for Grant Holt the minute our new boy missed his first couple of chances or hit his first lean spell?
Now don''t get me wrong, Holty has been a standout player and I reckon his attitude and commitment and perseverance has been little short of inspiring across the playing squad - but do you reckon there''s a danger our fanbase is so in love with him that any newcomer doesn''t get a fair chance to prove what they can do before the Snake Pit are yelling "get him off and get Holty on"?
Bor recognises that in titling this thread using the word "cult", we might get a few funny old posters here saying "you''re a cult" or so forth, but I''ll take that squit on the chin in the interest of discussion.
