[quote user="morty"]Whilst I see your point, the blame would actually lie with muppets who cannot control themselves.[/quote]My opinion too, I hope we get the result we want and everyone comes home okay..... what would Norwich say at the hearing if there was trouble ''the nasty man said some horrible things...''? He would love it if our fans got the club in trouble, but I trust us to behave.

 he wants compo for not using players that PL brought to the club.WHAT! Has this guy any idea how football works?  imagine if that happened everytime a manger left, it would be chaos. What a douche!

I think it could work, just because its not being streamed on UK tv doesnt mean its not being shown somewhere else in the world... whenever I have watch footie on iraqgoals.net its been via a stream from another country like the U.S or the far east. Chances are that maybe they are sending it via a different country.Im going to give it ago... if doesnt work I have lost nothing and if it does I get to see the game which I never thought would be possible

God please let it work, I will still have the pinkun text up but I will give it a go!

Aye, people were hard on him but he was should have punch goal number one into the stand and held onto the second into the stand, but he was not helped at all by the shambles in front of him... alot as changed and I think tomorrow will set the bench mark as to how far we have come.

Ive watched the highlights from the first game of the season again and apart from the free kick, I honestly dont think our current team would conced the goals that we let in.Sloppy keeping, defensive errors and just a lack of ''match'' sharpness led to 6 of them.... we have cut all of that out of our game for 99% of the time. I honestly believe that, like at Leeds, we will make colchester look average tomorrow and we will come away with a good 3 points. I cant wait till tomorrow[:D]  

Lincoln for Uni at the moment so only get back for holidays to see the football or if there is a local away game, I have seen Wigan pre-season, Leeds away,  Huddersfield and millwall this year, watch all of the TV games and sit watching the pinkun updater for the rest. My Dad and his friend go in my place when Im not back!

If we can hold out with Nelson tillthe 70 minute or so, it woul be good for him to come out in and just shore up our defence! Hopefully we will be 3-0 by the 70th!

Hmmm ignoring the dont travel if you dont have a ticket advice... The Norfolk is your best bet.

Cureton, round 2.....as a replacment for Earnshaw! Yeah, that worked out!

[quote user="JF"]Her words on not selling the ground mean nothing. It will be out of her control when it becomes a case of that or going bust. Without investment it''s just empty words and i''m not having a go at her it''s just how it is. [/quote]How words might not mean anything, but her bank account might! Im glad she doesnt want to, I think it would be a a terrible short term solution that could potentially leave us wishing we had not done it perhaps 5 years down the line if we do become a mid table top flight team.

[quote user="Gingerpele"]or perhaps, we don''t need him, Askou and Doc is a great defensive partnership, and Doc even makes Nelson look better, Whitbread (or what ever his name was) has been brought in as cover.......i would have thought anyway.....[/quote]No I think he has been brought in as direct competion for the starting place, judging by what has been said of him by some of the millwall fans and the intrest he generated last summer I think he could potentially be one of our best players... though we will need to see him first!

[quote user="Old Shuck"]I was disappointed that Worthy didn''t see fit to give Iwan a run in the Prem season. Yes I know, he was struggling, even when we went up-but he could have played a part, around the squad, in the dressing room/training and as a sub, we might even have got the odd game out of him! He and Hucks had a good understanding and, I think, something was "lost" when he went, which we could have done with at the club that season-looking back, turning one of those draws into a win would have kept us up, who might have been able to contribute more to that, Iwan, old and knackered as he was, or Thomas Helveg? Same thing regarding Malky. Should have been kept on. Still, there you go...[/quote]Ahhh Helveg! Now that brings back memories! If i remember he was starting to come good towards the end of the that season, when Worthy finally stopped playing him out of position! On topic, I think Holt is of the same level and style as Alan Lee and would make a good mid table type player.... I also think he is a valuable member of the dressing room and we finally do have a captain in the team after all the years of it jumping between people.

I shall type it into the Pinkun coverage, as I wont be at the game or within Radio Norfolks catchment area [:(] God Damn Uni!

I think the Whitbread will be better!

[quote user="pete_norw"][quote user="cityangel"][quote user="pete_norw"] Colchester don''t have it either, we may have another match called off on saturday, looking at that weather I wouldn''t be to suprised to see it called off. [/quote]   Weather forecast for Colchester looks ok to me for Fri & Sat, they''ve cleared the snow of the pitch so its just a matter of the frozen pitch thawing now unless thats what you think the problem will be? [/quote] Yes frozen pitch is what mean lets hope it goes ahead, the Sky weather web site, I''m told are not always right lets hope so  [/quote]I heard they have ''inflatable covers'' that they can pump warm air under to stop the pitch from frezzing, but its less effective than under pitch... unless there is a large amount of snow between now and saturday that would distrupt travel and cover the pitch again I doubt it will be off.

[quote user="The Walking Man walking to Yeovil"]Theoretically I guess they could because the police would claim they may commit an offence...[/quote]If police could arrest you because you might commit and offence then I think that 90% of the country would be in prison right now! No, I think it would come under the whole mangment reserves the right to refuse entry type rule... they can use it to remove home fans too if they are causing a problem.

I dont get why hes that bothered, as everyweek hundreds of West Ham fans sit in the home end there.... [:P]

Difference is Norwich isnt the capital city of a country.... even if that country is wales [:P]

[quote user="Tunica Molesta"][quote user="Camuldonum"]The idea was to get the snow off the pitch before the Met Office predicted thaw (so expect 3ft of snow on Friday) to avoid standing water on the pitch.  A fair number turned up I believe and substantial progress was made.  They get a free ticket out of it as well. Fratton Park with undersoil heating did it the other week (they got two free tickets each) and Norwich used to before you got all la-de-da.  [/quote]Peterborough are more la-de-da than us.[/quote] Yeah, their dead posh! Sorry I couldn''t help myself!

[quote user="morty"]Gunn should pay US compensation FFS.[;)][/quote]If we get back to the championship on Holts goals then we can consider him as a final ''gift'' from Gunn.... thank god he didn''t blow that £500,000 on someone potentially worse!

[quote user="Graeme Miles"]Any fans willing to show up in their City shirts and lend a hand? that would be ironic [:O][/quote]This actually a really good idea! If I was down in still I would consider going down as that is the perfect gesture to point out how silly Cowling has behaved! Imagine that a whole team of Norwich fans, maybe some who didnt manage to get tickets, coming and helping  to try and get a game of football on.... it would make him look really really stupid!

[quote user="I.S."][quote user="eagle"]It annoys me that this rumour keeps popping up. I personally can''t see him going anywhere, I think he knows he is on to a good thing here and I hope he would rather be the star man in our team than not a guaranteed starter at Middlesborough.[/quote]Let''s be honest, I doubt Middlesbrough are going anywhere this season, so it''s possible we will be playing against them next season anyway. Let''s hope the board stay strong and that Hoolahan isn''t want away.[/quote]This is my opinion, plus he gets to pay in front of sell out crowds here and also he wouldnt have to live in the dump that is middlesbrough!

Ah, so Lambert has arrived at walsall then!

[quote user="Flashman"]Agree that Askou and Whitbread will be our best centre backs when both are fit. It is alarming how many clearcut chances both Wycombe and Exeter created in the last two games - luckily, they didn''t have the ability to put them away. The two changes I would make to your team is to have Russell Martin at full back and Nelson on the bench instead of Doherty.[/quote]Really? I mean I hope that Whitbread is great but this is blind faith over at the moment. The Doc has been great so far and has even chipped in with a few... how you are all just casually throwing him onto the bench in place of a player yet to even step on the pitch I do not know! For me the team would be;                    ForsterSpillane    Askou   Doc    Dury                   Russel      Hughes                 Lappin                  Hoolahan                      Martin     HoltThe hard one for me is Hughes v Smith... having seen Hughes as part of the mid field that made Leeds look pants at their own stadium and also the effect he had against Huddersfield he just the nod for me!
