[quote user="morty"][quote user="nevermind"]It''s not like he''s poor, he got paid loads I''m sure at Norwich[/quote] Lol, so you''d turn down a better paid job, with increased financial security that enables you to provide for your family better, just out of loyalty? Somehow I already know what your (entirely theoretical) answer is. [/quote] Sorry morty you are soooooooooo wrong! Some players realise that as long as they are paid well.loyalty counts! Look at HUCKS for us..Look at gerrad with liverpool...In le tessier`s autobiog,couldve joined chelsea and spurs with twice waht he was on at southamton,but southamton gave him his break,stuck by him,and as he says,"you cant buy loyalty" ...Im sure there are others a well! ..There are player mercenaries of course there are,and most of these are captilists....But there are also folk out there who,are far from the breadline,who do put other prioties ,like loyalty and happiness,first! On a personal level,nothing to do with the above or loyalty... If you worked for a company,and was earning a more than healthy wage,and then discovered on the floor(factory),there were employees earning half as much as you..You then learn that 2 of them will have to be made redundant due to cutbacks..You then learn that after you annual assessment,you will be moving up a grade,from C to B,which entails,a 20% increase in your wage among other perks..If you had the chance,would you decline the offer as long as you get a proviso that the money saved,would also save the jobs in dispatch.....Would you Decline or Accept the grade?

Its hard to be civil to those down there..I found out at work a few years ago,one of them worked in our wage office,and had moved here for the job..He was a season ticket holder for them(rare i know)...One of the guys on the fryers,who was Norwich old school through n through,came up to me and and as we were talking the fat ips guy walked past.I held my tounge,but the fryer let out loads of verbal.He didnt react exept held up his fingers as he went through the doors,reminding us of the score at portaloo... I didnt have much to do with him,but a few weeks later,i bumbed into him at the coffee stand..And he,for one of them,didnt seem that bad....I left that place,and 2 years later,in the barclay,there he was at the back,with a girl wearing a Norwich shirt!..He saw me and went shhhhhh..I asked him at Halftime,if he has seen the light,but know,he was still one of them,but was now dating a Norwich girl...he has since married this girl,and though i dont see him now as i changed my seats,he probably still goes I could never do that,however hot the girl is,sit in the north stand,and pretend im one of them..Though as one of them,he was acceptable

[quote user="Brendo "]I understand that there is many a reason why the attendance will he hampered, but our fans need to wake up and smell the cheese if they think we could get 40,000 [/quote] You are talking sphericle hairy objects! ...I know of 3 mates,one with his gf who has now got into NCFC,wouldve got season tickets,if they could sit near us..as it is,there wasnt a space of 7 seats together..Now im sure this isnt the only case..And talking to people at work, a few go as and when they can get seats near us or othe people they know,which isnt often...If we had a 40/50 thou stadia,and held season tickets at 25/30 thou at the most,and the rest for people who want to go when they can,im more than confident,just by knowing those 2 probs....

Das boot...erm   U Boat...erm Sonar....erm ..Polaris...erm ..No i just cant Fathom a joke from them1

At least we are back to watching proper footy..Unlike the world cup where all  the players just Dive Dive Dive

The Depths some people will go to! ..Just to watch a game..

[quote user="nevermind"]I think lambert did probably hold back on on holt a bit as he apparently wasn''t fully fit last season. However, I think jackson will get around 8 goals[/quote] Okay..I am willing to bet,£20 jacko will score 12 at least,all comps...last match of the season,at home,dont do aways, i will meet you in roccos or lloyds,and accept the winnings :) Martin will prob be top this season,14 Holt will be used,i think more tactically this season,as a minder,and hold type in some matches,depending on the team...8 Hoolie will score less as well as well i think...more of a provider....8 Ollie if used due to injuries etc 6/10

no where near the problem that some posters make out...I have this sneaking feeling,lambert was using this as a tactic and a ploy to give other strikers time to gel.,and keep Malky guessing He probably did have a thigh injury,but instead of rushing him back,has taken a slower route for those reasons!...Because we did have a minor prob without him last year,and with the refs being given strict orders this year to cut out any dissent in the coming season,so chances are we will have him missing a few more through bookings this season...I saw against newwcy, martin and jackson starting to hit the same wavelength,and i predict jackson will have a double figure season this year.

Everton! ...We played some great stuff,especially with the diamond formation..,eveb though we were chasing the game from that ,mistake...That was our down fall in the first half..2 stupid really stupid ,mistakes! ..Take that out of the equation,and we matched them...2nd half we even played better than last week!...The trouble is...Ruddy is playing with nerves!...I suppose that first one kicked it off,but a good goalie would re focus ...Nelson and ward need to get an understanding going a both seem to step on each others toes at times..Unless they play one with Askou or whitbred,at the moment they are not on the same wavelength Overall though,a good performance and without those stupid stupid mistakes we would be praising a draw or win! ....Crofts/fox in particular this week shone...

[quote user="I am a Banana"][quote user="Barclaybred"][quote user="I am a Banana"] Barclaybred (think thats your posting name) you cant claim macnamee is brill after one good bit of play. it must be on a consistant basis, especially in the championship. [/quote] Seriously for a min.All im saying is,he hasnt yet had a chance of a run in the team..When he has he has shown more than glimses that he has something special..How long did it take Fox to establish himself? [/quote] not sure was a star in my mums eye [:P] [/quote]to be honest,i never knew that fox had taken so long to get established..I was reading a big thick yellow book on all seasons,and noticed that though his first app was in the 80`s,he was in and out of the side,often only as sub..He fibally became an everpresent under Walker..Though some players just spark after their first match and continues to do like HUCKS..but others take time...he hasnt had a chance! a couple of matches here and there isnt a chance!.

[quote user="KING OF N&P"]Yehh i agree with u nana, also i just think hes predictable, every time runs down the wing without confidence to take someone on, turns back and puts in a cross, Newcastle assist anyone? Then taking a pass,controlling it in one movement,changing his body stance,fooling the defender,lays a perfect pass on with his other foot,to Ollie to score against bristol rovers.... Oliie`s  brother n law`s dad whose first wifes son knows my sister,told me Ollie thinks Macca should be given a run in the side

How much would really go to the club though?..When i win the lottery,i will make a "gift" to the club,as i think that then cannot be further taxed..And state it is only redeemable against a player purchase,so it wont get swallowed up by banks,creditors etc..Thats if its possible My auntie whose uncle fought in the war with the dad of Alistair Darling,says thats the best way..

[quote user="morty"]Ah right, just because banana has posted this its immediately crap? Seriously can any of you see Macnamee playing a full game more than 10 times this season? His odd flashes of brilliance have been outweighed by going missing for long periods in games, and I can''t see him holding down a starting place, unless he seriously ups his game. [/quote]Rubish! I know for a fact he will have a major impact this season! ..My uncles, cousin used to go bird nesting with him,and he said he has been promised a starring role this season! ..

As the crow flies...1.89 miles On the road..........3.29 miles Via usual drinking haunts ...4.46 miles

Playing at Carrow rd in front of what 1000 or 2000 at the ,most,is hardly likely to acclimatize them to 26 k! And i know for a fact,they sometimes do play games against a select first team,though not often...As for youngsters becoming norwich fans just because they had a urge to see a reserve match,is a little beyond my belief..Though no doubt there may be a few very few,perhaps you? ...I became a norwich fan when i was 7..seeing bro`s shirt and hearing all the stories...mate became a norwich fan when he was 12 when he had a visit at his school of 1st team players..I think these are the normal introduction methods..

[quote user="First Wizard"]Source?[/quote] It was on the news earlier! ...Girl in pr office told me...she left as she just couldnt fit in with the other housemates..

[quote user="morty"][quote user="Barclaybred"]Is the leg room the same,and what is the speed of service like at halftime mate?[/quote] Legroom is okay, isn''t it standard round the whole ground then? Then I''m 5 foot 7 so its hardly going to be an issue for me lol. Speed of service isn''t too bad, although the bar is small it doesn''t get that busy at half time, its mostly people queuing for a pee. [/quote] I thought there was less up there as it looks steeper than the lower? ...Im 5.11 but only 8.5/9 shoe size...hello how did we get on to the pers stuff!? lol ..I enjoy country walks and ...... :) ..You have to leave 5 mins at least,before the halftime break,to get a drink etc,down below!

[quote user="First Wazzock"] [quote user="Buzz Killington"]The clarence harbour is good. Oh....wait! How about the rosary. Oh yeah, the kingsway then? Damn it! It''s getting bloody ridiculous. I used to love the rosary, in the prem season and the season before it was awesome. Is nowhere safe?[/quote] Is Scamps still open? [/quote] Way before my time,but was told ages ago when talking about away fans pubs in norwich,that there was a pub opposite the kingsway....abd my brother used to meet his mates and other "lads" in the 70`s in a pub called the pheasnant cock which was run by a boxing family....

Is the leg room the same,and what is the speed of service like at halftime mate?

[quote user="kdncfc"][quote user="Dogger "] [quote user="ricardo"]Possibly a fine Blue Cheese and Bacon Burger in Yellows. [/quote] Drool!!!! [/quote] Had one of them in Yellows last week and it was very nice, has anyone tried the coconut cream pie? Now that is absolutely georgous if you have a sweet tooth. [/quote] So no vegetarians?

[quote user="morty"]Upper Barclay, sat there for about 10 years now. Cracking view, and the atmosphere carries up from the Lower and the Snake pit, also, we do actually sing up there too btw. Sat in the Jarrold for the Newcastle game, and the view there is amazing, but the season tickets cost more there and I''m not sure about the atmosphere, I remember sitting in the old South stand and it having a high percentage of old biddies doing their knitting. [/quote] Thats the only part of the ground i have never sat in!..Lower barclay to right of goal,moved 3 times since 2001..satrted off far left near gangway,but hated the steward there,who thought too much of his position! ...Want to try upper one day,but mate refuses to sit anywhere else....have sat in snakepit,but was filled with to many wannabees,though there were a few ol school who new my brother

[quote user="Yelloow Since 72"]Lambert has said that he will send Rudd and Steer out on loan in rotation for more experience while still retaining cover for Ruddy, which seems a good plan.[/quote] As my only source at the club comes at youth and lower level,i get to hear or see a few games...I thought Rudd would become the best goalkeeper we have produced,and one of the best in England when i first starting watching him...Though i havent seen Steer as much,i now think Steer will be as good! ...If we had to sell one,i would now at a pinch,choose Rudd,on the basis Steer seems to have devoloped faster,and is almost at the same stage,albeit younger..

[quote user="nutty nigel"] Except that Iwan Roberts, Malky Mackay, Phil Mulryne and Paul McVeigh were already at the club. Gary Holt was already identified. However Matty Svensson and Jim Brennan were Worthy''s alone. Europe and beyond............................................................. Why would we want restrictions[:^)] [8]What we need is a great big melting pot........   [/quote] I might have missed something earlier,as again very busy,but Scotland and wales are not over seas? unless you travel aroundthe coast :) ..Then again technically france and europe are no longer over seas as you can walk it.. And technically again no where is over seas to HUCKS as that man is of a higher being

Best one yet! ....my old fav one had fleming with someother player in black n whte on the front(the photo not the other player wearing black n white! :)
