If most of our decent chances hadn''t of falled to Barnett, we might very well of beaten them 5-0. On to Leicester.

[quote user="Eggy"]Games we need to win, Dont know if the reason is that we are missing chances or we need extra strike power. This is the Championship not League one cannot afford to fall too far behind.[/quote]Still in the Play-Offs my friend, and another home game to come on Tuesday.Chin up.

Maybe he did make a mistake, however, at least he changed it around and on another night, we could of got 5.

Unfortunately, I think Kightly will more than likely move to one of the top teams in the Championship, and surely one that plays with wingers.

[quote user="John"][quote user="Carra_Rud"]I really shouldn''t lower myself to Banana''s level, but I simply can''t contain my anger towards him any longer.The legend that is Darren Huckerby will always be remembered as one of our greatest players(along with Peters, Ashman, Keelan and only a couple of others) even if we are still in existence in 50 years time. He showed himself to be a proper footballer, that was prepared to lose money, just so he could play regular football for our great club. He then made sure that our promotion was confirmed back to the Premier League, and once we were there, he NEVER looked out of place in that league.

He left us eventually because of one horrid little ignoramus, who thought it would be a good idea to let our legend leave.

He does charity work, and even posts on a forum message board.Even after this and so many things I haven''t mentioned, Banana still posts these ridiculous comments slating him, purely to get attention. Well you''ve had Hucks and all these other people giving you that attention, so I hope you''re happy.I will never forget the joy Hucks brought to me as a Norwich fan, and that goal against Birmingham, well just [:D][/quote]I hope these are the kind of comments Darren is regularly exposed to, and not those of a similar ilk to what Banana posted because the fool simply doesn''t reflect the opinion of the overwhelming majority of City fans that practically worship Hucks as a God amongst men.I almost feel ashamed on behalf of the Pink ''Un that Hucks has found himself reading through Banana''s dribble.Great post Carra, and in light of Banana''s comments, thanks for putting it into context. <cheers>... Oh, hang on [Y].[;)][/quote]<biggrin>See you around, John.[;)]

[quote user="Canary Boy"]I''d like to get your thoughts on this.It has been mentioned, but does anyone else here disagree with the treatment of Jens Berthel Askou?By that, I mean he is clearly not first choice centre-half at Norwich, yet many, myself included, consider him the best central defender we have.I''m not going to start questioning Lambert''s desicions whether or not he should be in the starting line-up, as other factors come into it (fitness, match-practice, injuries etc).However, a match-fit Askou, in my opinion, is the best central defender we have.[/quote]I disagree. Askou is nothing more than an ok defender.Lambert obviously feels the same way as me.

[quote user="I am a Banana"]it doesn''t matter.[/quote]How ironic is that post. [^o)]

[quote user="Chabal"]Difficult to get this through to you. I''ve seen him in the flesh. I know it''s him. And yes, he is 58. I''ll grant you he doesn''t look it, but he is. Sorry to disappoint.[/quote]If that guy is 58, then I''m having my 50th birthday, next year.I''m 34, by the way.

Knowing the BBC, its probably his 215th appearence.

Man, there are some unbelievably fickle fans among us.Get in Ruddy[<:o)]

[quote user="I am a Banana"][quote user="Excited Canary"]NORWICH CITY vs SWANSEA CITY on 21/8/10, BST 15:00 Tomorrow''s match brings Norwich City and Swansea City together in the Npower Championship.Swansea City: The Swans, like the Canaries, have started their season with an opening day defeat, followed by a victory. Brendan Rogers'' team will be brimming with confidence coming into Saturday''s clash at Carrow Road, after they demolished Preston 4-0 last Saturday. The last time the Swans recorded such a big win was the 4-0 victory over Doncaster in January 2008, when they were still plying their trade in Npower League One. Swansea are very much an attacking unit, so that coupled with Norwich''s somewhat leaky defence they will be confident of getting something out of the game tomorrow. Key Player: Darren Pratley. The London-born midfielder was instrumental in everything successful for the club last season, guiding them to within 1 point off play-offs. Pratley''s good season attracted interest from many clubs, most namely Nottingham Forest who at one point were very close to capturing his signature. The Canaries will have to be aware of his defensive and attacking prowess if they wish to get something out of tomorrow''s match up. Swansea however, are not a one man team and Norwich will have to watch out for the likes of Cotterill, summer-signing Scott Sinclair, and defender Angel Rangel who recently attracted interest from Premiership club, Blackpool.Season Form: LWW. Swansea started their campaign with an unconvincing 2-0 defeat at Hull, but they bounced back nicely with a 3-0 victory over Burton in the Carling Cup and the 4-0 thrashing of Preston just four days later.  The Swans will be hoping to make it three straight wins in all competitions, and as will the Canaries who have achieved the same record so far. One thing though that is for certain, is that there should be a few goals tomorrow as both teams have already scored a few and leaked a few. Predicted line-up:De VriesRangelMonkWilliamsTateSinclairGowerPratleyCoterillDyerDobbieNorwich City: Much like the Swans, Norwich will go into tomorrows match fully confident of picking up a victory in front of their home faithful. A morale boosting victory over Gillingham in the Cup and a more recent win away at Scunthorpe should leave the Canaries in good stead. With the trio of Holt, Hoolahan and Martin goals are never far away for Norwich, and they will be looking to add to their goal tally of 3 so far.Key Player: Andrew Crofts. Summer-signing from Brighton Andrew Crofts has already produced 2 man of the match performances out of his 2 games for the club. Tomorrow will probably bring his biggest test though, going head to head against Swansea''s Key Player Darren Pratley. If he does manage to keep Pratley at bay, then he would have had to have produced another top performance in the yellow and green.Predicted line-up:RuddyR. MartinWardNelsonDruryHoolahanSurmanCroftsSmithHoltC. MartinHEAD TO HEAD:Played: 22Norwich win: 14Swansea win: 4Draw: 4Last time out: Saturday 11th April, Liberty Stadium. Swansea City 2-1 Norwich City. Alan Lee was the scorer for the Canaries. Before the 2008/09 season these two teams hadn''t faced each other for 10 years.Prediction: Norwich City 2-2 Swansea City.Please feel free to update this thread with news, views, rumours and predictions.Thank you,Excited Canary [:D] [Y]P.S Please remember I am only 13 so not so much abuse this time please [;)][/quote]It was the Coca Cola League 1 at the time [y][/quote][:^)]Great preview, by the way[H]

[quote user="jas the barclay king"]the tickets are stupidly priced.if someones paying over the odds for a ticket are they then going to buy a programe or food in the refreshment stands? the club are doing themselves out of match day residual cash by charging more for the tickets.id happily fork out £3 for a pint of gas if the ticket was £23 or £24.id be interested in seeing figures of how sales of programmes/refreshements and match day club shop purchases are doing after 10 games with the current ticket prices. [/quote]You make a very good point about matchday spend in the ground. People will still go to games if they are charged upwards of £30 for a ticket, however, they are likely to spend less when around(programme/clubshop) and inside the stadium.Not sure what the average take is for the above on a matchday, but I would hazard a guess it will be considerably less than last season.

[quote user="Mister Chops"]I don''t understand this nonsense about "demand getting lower" as the crowd for Watford, on a Friday night and on Sky, still compared very favourably with any of last season''s crowds.  So where exactly is the problem? [/quote]If you are talking about me saying demand is getting lower, then you are mistaken. I was asking IF the people on this forum, thought this was the reason for us not selling out against Watford, and more than likely Swansea. I''m not being negative, I am just surprised that we have not sold more tickets for Saturday''s game. Also, as I said, how many times last season did we offer the visiting supporters the chance to purchase tickets on the gates? All but a few home games last year, when visiting teams didn''t sell their tickets, we moved them over and sold them to City fans. I get the feeling this won''t happen very often this season, unless we stay near the top of the league.
