..... I'm confused as to what you think is good about English football.

Chris Hughton would have stopped him scoring 😳

Is b u g g e r e d such a bad word?

As I've said before, it's no longer a Sport, it's a business. Abramovic bought Chelsea and he's a Spurs fan apparently, West Ham are bankrolled by some Czech bloke who owns Sparta Prague, the list goes on. So when we stretch our budget to buy Sargent for 8 mill or so and he's up against 40/50 players of course were going to struggle. I've been saying for years that a European Super League is the future, just because they backed down last time, you can bet they're still talking to each other..... it's all about the money after all. ..... once they've ****ed off (and good riddance) we can have our ball back.

....... I think you're giving him too much credit, he didn't inspire a push towards the playoffs last term and, although they might be going well right now, it's more to do with them out spending their rivals over the summer, in an attempt to simply buy their way up.... that, and a kind start.

.....it's a no from me. They've found the formula for challenging at the top of League One, get someone to stump up a load of dosh to buy their way up. Never mind the youth development they were always banging on about...... Even if they do get promoted, they're unlikely to be any better than mid-table Championship fodder.

Fotheringham.....

.... he's a snip at 40 mill, at today's prices 60 would be the going rate.

Neither do they, apparently they've taken them off this Seasons shirt, maybe they've realised it's time to create achievements a little more recently than 40 years ago.....

I think he meant that 1p5wich were 'unbelievably medium' ....... to which I must concur.......

...... haven't we got enough donkeys? Asking for a friend....

No such thing as an Old Farm friendly.... it a contradiction in terms....

...... defensive midfield per chance 😉

I went twice back in the eighties, never watched a race, spent two weeks in the pub, came home with alcohol poisoning......... great event.

..... don't start the the Ground expansion debate again, I actually agree with you but others wanted the money spent on securing our place in the Premiership...... that worked well didn't it? So now we've spent the money, are back in the Championship and have no capacity to invite the new generation of Norwich fans..... I think that's called a hat-trick 🙁

..... no one is 'opposed to the whole notion of Ipswich' ...... after all, where would any of us be without some comedy in our lives?....

This, it's Norwich or nothing for me, the Premiership is just a money League now and those that control it are not interested in small Clubs. The Linekars and Shearers are all on board, waxing lyrical about how good Liverpool or City are when they've spent a fortune on imported talent...... it's just business now, not sport, there's no loyalty, from players, Managers, even supporters hop from one Club to another if they're having a bad Season. Call me old fashioned, (I am) but I don't support Norwich because they're the biggest or the best but because I was born there, they're my Club, through thick and thin and nothing is ever going to change that.

...... there's no such thing as 'unreasonable hatred' of 1p5wich........

Our level of ambition is no different to any other Club, how we go about achieving it is........

Maybe I'm in the minority, but there's no humiliation here. My Brother (a Hammer) pointed out that our recent performances in the Premiership must be pretty disheartening for the fans. My immediate response was that we'd been Football League Champions for 2 of the last 3 Seasons, what's disheartening about that? In terms of financing, and let's face it, Football is no longer a Sport but a business, we are one of most responsibly run Clubs in the Country and if the likes of Brighton, Watford, Burnley and even West Ham attemted to operate our business model we'd be higher up the table. Maybe I'm old fashioned, maybe we should change our business model but I'd hate us to lose our identity, we remain a Norfolk Club followed mainly by Norfolk people and exiles and I'd much rather that, than follow Sparta Prague B, like my Brother does now......

...... are you trying to put 1p5wich and football into the same conversation?.....😱

Agreed, but....... every cloud 😁

........ I don't understand the question.......

Not having this........ Fotheringham never had a prime 🤬

Bit late to the party 🥳........ this reminds me of a Roxy Music album cover......
