    There is this perception that we should be up there and that is wrong. I don’t buy into this nonsense that Norwich should be where they are.

    Well well well.   Didn''t earn the right tonight did we Saint Paul?  Worrying, deeply worrying.  I sense a long hard winter of relegation dogfights and lower table six-pointers lies in wait while the relegation trapdoor looms beneath our feet like a bottomless chasm to nowhere.

    I have noticed that too many of you are a little bit too clever so have a go at this week''s weekly cryptic riddle and make old Bore Bore Bor a happy man. 

    Started off at a club whose nickname is also a singular Paul McCartney solo album, before signing for the Canaries.

    After leaving Norwich City, he did a "Kevin Costner" before joining another club - you could say he took the money and ran.  It''s rumoured that at his last club, some people called him the Space Cowboy, while I believe some others called him the Gangster of Love.  His name however was not Maurice so don''t go with that line of thinking.

    First name out of the hat wins some NORWICH FC merchandise.

    Be good to each other, and remember - [8]No Surman, No Cry.[8]

    Seeing as you all enjoyed Bore Bore Bor''s "Norwich City players whose names rhyme with food" challenge from last month, I wondered whether this month we could all name some films starring Norwich City footballers past and present.

    To start with, I give you the romantic comedy "Desperately Seeking Surman" and the sci fi classic "Blades Runner" - or indeed the cult horror film "An American Werewolf in De Blassis."

    Exactly my point, height hasnt stopped him. Imagine if Messi would have grown up in England, he would probabl;y have been told he was small and wouldnt have made it.

     

     

    The only thing that will stop this kid making it is if hes not good enough, not his height.

    I am fairly certain that any footballer, no matter how skillful, would not make it as a centre back if he was 5''2" (that''s about 1.5 metres in new money).

    Ho ho ho - seasonal greetings to you all.

    Here''s this week''s cryptic riddle.  Who is this player?

    Signed from a team of northern seals, this player (largely an understudy) managed a half century of appearances for the Canaries before heading across the border to learn more about the game from a highly educated team.  Later, he joined some northern hatters before he got a case of the shakes and then retired.

    Well well well.  Inner circleites need not apply.  Which former City player is this?

    He signed from a club which played the game every which way but loose, and this player made one full appearance for the Canaries before returning north of the border to successfully fetch water.  He later returned south to a bomb site but got the blues until a royal opportunity came calling, though this sadly ended in relegation.  Ended up with a bad case of gas.

    Hmmm. Sounds[:D][;)][:D] Scottish....

    Which is to say, Scott Howie. Scottish by name etc.


    As a follow-up question, what is the connection between a world record sporting attendance in 1954 of just over 100,000 and a Norwich City promotion some decades later?

    Very impressive, and congratulations as you are this week''s winner.

    I think the answer you are looking for is "Cody Macdonald".

    Last week - Alex Notman.

     

    This week, riddle me this.....

     

    Began his career as a trainee citizen before heading off to the land of stale bacon.  Flirted with toffee but returned to the pigsty before joining our beloved club.  Not the most popular of players, he moved on post millennium where he did like to be beside the seaside for a while before hanging up his boots.  (Though not his drinking boots - allegedly.)

     

    That is all.  Good luck and may the force be with you.  That is not a clue.

     

    Give thanks and praise to the board.

    [quote user="Fr. Chewy Louie"]Well you must be recycling my "Alex Not-man" from the other thread then...[/quote]

     

    I hadn''t read the other thread, as it happens - but the answer is indeed ALEX NOTMAN.

     

    Congratulations! A gift of your choice [G] will be sent to a local school or hospital.

     

    Tune in next Thursday for another exciting edition of this game.
