Bottom line is everyone is deep down pretty sure we will be safe, however the spectre of a collapse haunts us all and this insecurity manifests itself in different ways: - anger and frustration at the management that we aren''t already safe (Hooton just int attacking enough, he should goo) - over the top doom mongering (the other teams are picking up points and we''ve got some tough matches coming up, we''ve had it) - aggressive bravado (we should be looking up not down you little old Norwicher) Of course the course of action most conducive to good mental health is cool, rational clear headedness but this is not a state of mind easily attained by football supporters (which is why we''re very lucky we''ve got a manager who demonstrates this). -It ain''t over yet but we''d have to cock up big time to go down. So let''s knuckle down, do what we have to do and then look at the situation re strikers, pretty football etc when we regroup in the summer.

Get her on the board. We''d then have some of the finer things in life represented: fine art, good food and wit and wordplay. Infinitely preferable to a board made up of sharks and dodgy business types. NCFC the club for aesthetes.

They have one for immigrants seeking UK citizenship, why not have one for supporting our great club? We could use it to weed out a) high handed patronising old goats b) whining ''the sky is falling in'' pessimists c) ranting, flip floppers A bit harsh, I grant you but reading through the message board this morning has made me go all Daily Mail, something I do not have a natural tendency towards. Hopefully I''ll be back to my liberal accepting self tomorrow.

Should have politely informed him that Man Utd fans have actually adopted our own colours and then presented him with a a newspaper printed with the headline Eamonn Holmes is a C..t, which due to an error was unfortunately not blurred out as originally intended.

The rhyming of Mendham with defend em. Magic. They could do an updated version about NCFC jailbirds: Ched Evans and Peter Mendham The best lawyers could not defend em

"Who''d have thought those country boys would ever have something to shout about." Little old naarich, forelock tugging binners the lot of em..

The posts about the goal music and Billy Steele''s Norwich song got me thinking about NCFC songs down the years and sent me back to the 1999 classic album On The Ball City. Truly, truly terrible. (with the possible exception of the warm nostalgic glow inducing OTBC original from 1959). Who was the lead singer of the South Standers? I think that is probably the worst vocal performance I have heard on any football related record. Did anybody on here have anything to do with any of these songs?

Am I wrong or was his testimonial match against an England World Cup 66 11? (presumably set up by Martin Peters). I can remember the programme - bloody huge it was, like a broad sheet newspaper.

How about we just put some words to it? We could have a different version for each scorer. Its pretty easy to fit anything to it (9 syllables per ''line'') Ka Kamara Ka Ka Kamara Ka Kamara Ka Ka Kamara etc. We fu..ing lu-u-u-ve Grant Holt We fu..ing lu-u-u-ve Grant Holt etc.

We have money in the bank. Saved by not paying over the odds in the Jan window. Some prudent scouring of various leagues around the world will bring us some cover in defence at little cost. That will leave plenty of lolly for a striker (RvW?). We won''t see the kind of level of movement we have over the last two summers: 2 or 3 out and 2 or 3 in. Nice position to be in.

Saturday reminded me of a good old seventies rumbustious victory. The first goal a thundering header, the second the result of a drilled ball to the back post, two pillars of strength winning the ball between them and then it being muscled into the net. No fannying about. Highly effective in yer face football. One can see why Wes had one of his less effective games.

He is the perfect impact sub. Stand aside Le Fondre.

"3-2- 0-2 at half time - Pienaar and Baines killing us. Kamara off the bench at half time, scoring one and setting up two for Becchio,Wiz pronounces Hughton as the next Messiah." Not quite right but not far off either. Just need Wiz to come through now.

No defence or goalkeeper. We must be really confident

The break will have been used to try out some new formations. I will be very surprised if we revert to the way we were setting up in the last few matches. My main concern is how we counter the Baines-Pienaar threat. They have the capacity to cause havoc down the left.

I thought the same when I read this (and I agree with every word: articulate and rational). Do any of the ''anti-forelock-tugging'' brigade fancy responding?

Or even bring in Di Canio as Hughton''s assistant. Now that would be a political/temprament yin and yang set up that would be interesting

i''ll get me smoking jacket..

A band banging out Have you got a light boy? would set the place on fire.

Brendan Rogers obviously knows how to hurt his old team. Glad its not just us that get done by them

Might have been. But my bloody lucky green and yellow skimpy knickers had no effect whatsoever. Might have dig them out again for the Everton match.

That''s the one. My brain has done a good job of dulling the memory but am I right in saying that they scored at the death? I remember the River End being fully of tranny wielding men (no not blokes holding on to other blokes in women''s clothes) and the collective disbelief as the nightmare scenario unfurled (what were the other matches that did for us?)

So now I can watch the 6 Nations and have a weekend to let my fingernails grow back

True, but we could have drawn....
