If you give me valid reasons for why your believe it is not as good as say classical music I would respect them more than someone who hasnt done what you have and just says ''pop music is shit'' but cant tell me why.

But the OP was asking if the people who write their opinions up on here have any experience of playing football and at what level.   None of us get paid to write on here.   A financial journalist gets paid to write, so must have some knowledge in the first instance.   So that doesnt quite work either.

Just to add another example,   I could talk to stockbroker about the stock market, I could still have an opinion, but his would be more valid.

[quote user="ChelmsfordCanary"] I agree about Chris Martin in your post but you do not have to have played football or know people in the business to have an opinion on something. It just seems to give off a potentially boastful view of you and that your opinion or views mean more than others.   [/quote]   Its right that you dont have to have played football to understand it, but surly if you have played the game and at a good level you understand it more?   Whenever Darren Huckerby writes on here, or a match report everyone agree''s with him and thats becuase he talks sense. Because he knows the game inside out.   Some of the lads at work have season tickets and for some reason the rest of the office think they are some kind of football experts because of this. There is nothing worse than hearing ''Pauls a season ticket holder at Elland Road and he said..........'' Well im sorry I know Paul and he knows nothing about football!   My mum wouldnt suddenly become and expert if she bought a season ticket.   Everyone knows im anti-Wes and part of that is because I was a very similar player to him. Very small, left footed and no pace. I would try and be creative and beat a man then play that through ball, but when I knew I couldnt I''d keep the ball and play back, Wes frustrates me becuase of the amount of time he keeps the ball and gets caught when he could have give it earlier and kept the ball.   I believe my opinion is slightly more valid than ''insert name'' thats checks the score on ceefax and still posts his match reactions on here!  

Whilst I agree we need to change our tactics and formation depending on who we are playing, I believe the spine of the team should be kept the same. There seems to only be me that was shocked Crofts and Holt were left on the bench on Saturday.   Ruddy   I know injuries and suspensions have not been kind to us this season but we need to find our preferred 2 centre halfs and stick with them.   This combined with an impressive Naughton and Tierney, would give us a gelled and solid back 4.   Unless injured/suspended or having a real bad dip in form (not one game) I would always start Crofts and the same applies to Holt.      

Spent time at Leeds United, Coventry City, York City and Halifax Town, up until 16/17.   Played for Wakefield in the college Academy League (Same team that Oli Johnson played for, he was a year below me)   Played for Wakefield district and then a few games for Semi-Pro Ossett Albion      

Sounds great, cant tell you how excited I am, im wishing my life away!   At what point are the Legends confirmed?

Theres always 1, No, ive paid £400 for the privilege, anything more will be donated to Football aid, is that ok?

No its £215 for 45 minutes or £375 for 90 minutes.

On the 15th May 2012 my dream will be coming true! I will be walking out of the tunnel at Carrow Road wearing the Yellow Number 8, once worn by my childhood hero Craig Bellamy! As anyone taken part in this game before? Or taking part this year? I will also be bugging you for sponsorship near the time, as it is of course to raise money for charity!

I dont understand the harsh crititism of Barnett''s clash with Klasnic. Klasnic went in low and Barnett turned away to protect himself. If he wanted to hurt Klasnic he would have gone in with his knee or elbow, not his arse!

Id love to see a midfield 3 off Fox, Crofts and Johnson

Its simple to see what Grant brings, look how we defended without him. Deep inviting pressure, even against 10 men.   Look how we defended with him, right from the front, keeping the ball in their half for longer and causing mistakes.   Regardless of how his football form is, he should be the first player on the team sheet for me, the work rate he gives, the pressure he applies and the fact that he is a really intelligent player.

You mean like Mark ''Norwich are doomed'' Lawrenson?

Wow, someone speaks sense.

Ah right, so we judge whether it is a goal scoring opportunity by how lethal the fouled player is at finishing? Haha, dont make me laugh Pilkington was on the line. May seem an unlikly scenario? Lets just leave it at that,

Take off the Yellow tinted spectacles. Regardless of whether Ramieres was already going down, or whether Di Santo went down early, both Ruddy and De Leat made contact. Only a Norwich fan would think they wernt penalites! Had both them challenges been on Holt, would you have been crying for a penalty.............of course you would!

"Apart from Barnett" ?????? Ruddy, cleary brought Ramieres down, had Ramieries had got round him he had a open net, if that isnt a ''clear goal scoring opportunity'' then what is?

Apart from Barnett, we havnt been ''hard done by''. Both the Wiagn and Chelsea incidents should have been penalties!

Technically Dave Whelan is unnattached so could be signed and used as our sub keeper on Sunday.

The amount of moaning the pinkun as done about ref''s latly makes this, well a little hypocritical.

Paul Moy?

Ive had/got hundreds - Every City kit since 92. Got the Barca kit from Nou Camp, Real Madrid. Back in the day JJB use to sell all kinds of obscure and weird shirts from £4.99. Dad use to take me and get a couple each time. Baring City shirts, my Fav is either the Green Kappa Barca or the purple and blue away Newcastle shirt when Asprilla was there.

NCFC have been rejecting bids for him for the last month or so

[quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="Nexus_Canary"]Very easy loophole for all landlords = If Kick off is 3pm at 2:50 lock the pub doors citing a "Lock in Private Party" football ends, "Lock in Private Party" ends. Simple. [/quote] Really? And even if this is so what about all the other customers in the pub. Are they locked in too? And those who go for a drink every saturday afternoon at 4pm? Do they have to find another pub? Nothing is as simple as it can be made to appear on these forums. [/quote] Nexus = Simple
