Episode of lovejoy back in the 90s i think, basically the bin men went out on rounds in blue and Scum hats and clothes and went diving in the bins.

Was forgetting that i no longer need to big up our achievements in recent years when compared with theirs, none the less they were European Champions!
-
While we just contained the dutch champions and worldwide force that is Ajax of amsterdam and got a draw. On the back of beating former European Champions Celtic. Then binmen have just been beaten by the Shrimpers of Southend, on the back of a loss to the hatters of Luton. I know its only pre season, but i like that Ipswich are making my sides split, while we mix it up with Football Royalty.

Norwich Vs Ajax - Tooooddaayyyy
City penguin replied to Stig's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I wouldn''t say it was us sitting back but rather a product of Ajax''s system and style of dutch football. Fluid possession football, when played with good passing it is very hard to get into the game. Last year we defended poorly, tonight we contained a very good Ajax team who will do alright in the champions league. -
"Celtic sign Vaughan on season-long loan"
City penguin replied to calriv's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Would be dissapointed tbh, but surely means another striker is lined up if true. A season in SPL may just be what Vaughan''s career needs, a season to build his fitness up and smash in endless goals to give him some confidence to come back and show his true potential. -
OK Hughton, you can stop now...
City penguin replied to Dr. Ink's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Whittaker- Cheap signing that is experienced and very versatile plays anywhere across the back or on the wings. Handy player to have. Butterfield- Tore the championship up in the first 6 months, you''ve all seen how well Howson has taken to the premier league, well butterfield was getting better ratings and reviews than howson at the start of the last season, in a worse team. Could be pure class and stable player in the premier league for years to come. Snodgrass- Quality no doubt. Turner- Played the majority of the games with O''Neil in charge and was solid by all accounts, Sunderland fans rate him highly and there is a feeling he was sold because they couldn''t offload there other defenders, e.g titus bramble. Hull fans rave about him. Will provide the experience to help Ayala and Bennet to flourish and develop. . Jones from liverpool will allow either Rudd or Steer to go out on loan to gain the game time needed. So not needed for first team but will help the club no end. We don''t have a defensive midfielder in the anchor man role, Fox plays deep but more of a play making role and johnson isn''t solid enough to play the role required, great for getting stuck in and ball winning. Our rise from the depths has been based on the idea that quality is quality no matter where it comes from or the reputation it has, we are continuing in this vein and am very pleased with signings so far, with a fair whack of budget left. The club have always been underwhelming when talking about transfers for a number of reasons, one it keeps the perception that we are skint in peoples minds, hence we don''t start getting held to ransom over fees, two it keeps the potential deals going on behind the scenes out of the spotlight preventing other clubs coming in to scupper deals. -
WACCOE in meltdown again

To be fare if we had bates as chairmen we would be pretty annoyed, he is as our Delia, in wiz''s eyes. -

City penguin replied to minestrone's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
how many fans did we take? -
QPR sign Junior Hoilett
City penguin replied to York Canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
certainly a quality player, still think they won''t perform that well. Probably will survive but won''t beat our 12th place last year. -
Will we score enough goals?
City penguin replied to jeagle's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
also goals wasn''t a problem last year, with the creative additions of snod and butterfield we should be fine. Getting the defence organised is the problem! -
Will we score enough goals?
City penguin replied to jeagle's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
if vaughan can stay fit i''d expect him to get as many as morrison. -

Site for a new stadium?
City penguin replied to tom cavendish's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
You need to get a life tom. People get paid vast amounts for feasibility studies, because they are demanding and complicated, leave it to the pros go outside and enjoy the soun. -
FAO CHRIS HUGHTON - SQUAD ASSESSMENT
City penguin replied to tom cavendish's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
how about Hughton sell the squad, replace with freebies and move to UEA new stadium with profits, that''s your ultimate goal isn''t it? -
Have a day off tom.

Goal music suggestion
City penguin replied to The Goal Threat's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
tbh music at any point before, during a football match makes the atmosphere worse. In the old days songs would be rolling round stadiums before kick off, now we just get blasted with what ever pop music shite is in the charts and makes singing almost pointless before. -

Face palm for all goal music lovers. -
Interesting who our top signings will be
City penguin replied to Yorkshire Canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
why is it not sensible to make sure you get the best players, rather than rush into things, sure if you can get deals done earlier all the better but i''d rather him bide his time and get the right man rather than an earlier signing that he''s not 100% on, -
Press Conference 3pm
City penguin replied to When Saturday Comes's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
tbh i think the transfer request was only just ever a bargaining positioning move, and his agent made him look worse. Put it behind us move on and the legend that Holt is can continue. -

Whittaker deal to land us in court?
City penguin replied to gravycanaries's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
well he could, but if a player was to do this they wouldn''t be playing for any club competitively till their contract expires as the said club own their registration. Football doesn''t jobs aren''t like any other jobs. -

Butterfield will announce about his future today, could be for that? Pressers often get delayed.
