So chances are we could well meet Leeds in semis - they won't play that poorly against us

Derby day predictions
Sooty57 replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
My predictions: Barnes gets booked within the first 10 mins They kick the crap out of Sargeant and injure him They kick the crap out of Sainz and he gets himself sent off for retaliating As for the result..... I haven't got a clue -
Derby day predictions

Exactly what I said to my 1p5wich supporting mate a little while back (yes, we are allowed to be friends with the more reasonable ones). Although it pains me to say it, watching them achieving way more than the sum of their parts, through sheer determination and character, is reminiscent of our better times under Lambert & Farke during the promotion years. The sad thing for them, and almost every other team promoted to the 'promised land' that is the PL, is that reality kicks in very quickly once you go up, and positive, attacking play is very quickly sacrificed in a desperate effort to save a few points and avoid going straight back down again. -
A perfectly valid point

Transfer window predictions
Sooty57 replied to Wimbledoncanary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Predictions? If we sell, half the fans won't like it - we're selling the future of the club If we buy, half the fans won't like it - wrong players bought in - money spaffed up the wall In a nutshell, very little will happen, and nothing much will change. -
Sargent not on the bench for tonight
Sooty57 replied to TiffeyBoy's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Sadly, that applies to far too many of our games lately -
Wrong to generalise, I know, but it seems to me that the expectations of many fans seem to be somewhat aligned with their ages, and thus to a certain extent the length of time they have been going to watch Norwich. Younger generation (watching for less than 10 years) - believe we are a Premiership team with a God-given right to play in the top tier. Middle aged (watching 10 -30 years) - believe we are a Championship team who occasionally get a temporary trip into the big time. Older generation (old farts like me) - love to see the team do well, but in general are just happy that we still wake up every morning and have the opportunity to go to the games.

Webber still in control of the club?
Sooty57 replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Because the club has such a good working relationship with the local press -
What an earth is knapper waiting for ?ā¦
Sooty57 replied to Soldier on's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Or just give the manager's job to the next golden goal ticket winner - they probably won't to any worse than the current incumbent -
And now it seems Zola is coming back as Fat Frank's assistant to help him p*** more money up the wall

Give them time

And still they can't beat us.....
Sooty57 replied to lake district canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I can't believe I'm angry at the equaliser we gifted them.... I would had taken your arm off if you'd offered a point before the game. -
Not quite sure how that would work; I'm pretty certain we could not actually come back down mid-season. Mind you, the way they keep changing the rules I suppose anything is possible.

Ipswich will miss automatic promotion by one point while we scrape into the playoffs by a similar margin. Adam Idah comes off the bench to score the winning goal in the 5th minute of added time in the second leg of the playoff semi-final, thus relegating the binners to another season in the Champs. Their manager immediately jumps ship for greener pastures, and they start another slide into L1 obscurity, and then (knock knock).... quick, it's the Old Bill.... flush the rest of this stuff down the loo!

Whether you are 80% or 20%....

I was thinking exactly the same thing. What a plonker. -
Farke sacked in away dressing room now must be Wagner

Always assuming we don't sell them in the Jan window -

So Dean Smith was right all along. Why on earth did we doubt him? -
Definition of insanity
Sooty57 replied to Dean Coneys boots's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Definition of insanity Renewing my season ticket every year in the naive expectation of better things to come. But I suppose I probably will again. -
Worse keepers than Long?...
Sooty57 replied to GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
No keeper is going to shine with that defence in front of them. We weren't exactly setting the division alight with Gunn in goal.
