Ex Norwich Resident

Yep, people remember the Carrow Road game as by far his best for us. By contrast, I''d say the return game against you lot was by far his worst, he was just totally anonymous and over-run and was hooked after an hour for a striker in a vain attempt to get back into the game. As I said on another thread, with the right partner he''ll look classy, maybe even at the level above us.

Morty''s right, he didn''t fit in with the style of play. Boothroyd liked his midfielders to be all hustle and bustle and little flair, hence Izzet, O''Toole, Wordsworth all starting pretty much every game they were available for.

Agreed, he was our best ball player, but it''s our own fault he was unsettled as he just wasn''t getting the games under Boothroyd. Anyway, it''s good that we''re at least talking about football again.

I feel sorry for you lot having to read Wiz''s tripe all the time. I posted at great length on another board about my sadness when you lot came to Colchester in January, as ours always used to be a friendly rivalry, and from that day I''ve only really directed my ire at the WUM''s and not the real Norwich fans. Hope this all dies down quickly. Now that you''ve gone up, there''s really no reason for the dislike any more. I''m certainly not urging Cowling to appeal the compensation amount, simply because I''m so bored of the whole thing. Once the football starts again, I''m sure this will be confined to ancient history.

The pitch is being relaid as we speak. The Fox cash was just a bonus for a free transfer, and you can''t keep a player here who never settled due to under-utilisation by our previous manager. Cowling''s apologised on the official site. And Wiz, it was your fan who ''brought it up again'' by sending him that provocative email. Anyway, I am so bored of this, it got boring after you got your revenge on the pitch. I want my pre-season friendlies with you lot back, they were good.

Dearie me, and you say WE''RE obsessed....

One of the compensation clauses should have been that the Wiz is confined to this board only, you can all enjoy his bizarre witterings to you hearts'' content.

Maybe someone should tell Wiz...

Admittedly I''ve been a wind-up merchant on here of late. What I saw today saddened me to the core, and on-field matters had nothing to do with it - footie results come and go but there are more important things in life, such as not having your town turned into somewhere you don''t want to be for an hour after full time. My fellow U''s fans here might well disagree but I think our chairman got it hideously wrong in hindsight and has created what looks to be some kind of monster. I''m gutted, not at the score but at the creation of an artificial rivalry. I sincerely hope it doesn''t last.

I love how you lot have been fooled, to a man/woman, by a hoax :) Did you know ''gullible'' has been removed from the dictionary?

Oi, my late night trolling is first-class and I have a related degree to prove it ;) I expect Lambert to come out tomorrow and firmly deny the rumours.

Neither can Burnley ;)

And he was ''Our Manager'' before you lot decided to nick him. Swings and roundabouts..

John White, Greg Halford, Dean Gerken :)

Likewise with Mr Lambert. I fail to see your point.

So is yours. And he started it.

Great post, and good to see a sense of perspective. This is 20% of our ground that we''re giving you. And 1000 more than you got at Layer Road.

[quote user="can u sit down please"][quote user="Magnificent Seven"][quote user="Mike Grant"]Could I also suggest that we as a group refrain from buying any refreshmenst from Colchester Utd on the day.... if they want to be petty.... Don''t give that whinging Chairman a penny more than necessary[/quote] Bad luck - the catering is franchised out at the beginning of the season. So the club dont give a stuff how many carpet burgers or warm beer they sell. Anything else you can think of? You could of course boycott the match and deprive him of the £36,000 gate money. Why not do that - now that WOULD be a protest to take notice of. Bet you can''t ! [/quote]Deprive you of 3 pts...yeah thats something else. I will be so satisfied at beating Essex''s 3rd club.[/quote] Oh, so now you lot DO care about the tinpot club after all??

Hey 1stwizard, why won''t you come back on our board? Oh how we''ve missed you and your hex appeal, please come back xx

"clubs will come here, pack their defence and HOPE for some reward" 7 goals was quite a reward for parking our bus in front of goal. We must do that again sometime.

Wow, they even have computers in kitchens these days....
