    He's got some talent there, and better than not getting anyone.  However, to get the best from him we need to play him more as a Pukki type I think.

    I met a Korean man recently that barely spoke any English, when I mentioned I’m a Norwich fan he got excited saying that we have the second best Korean player behind Son.

    I think he will come good, but as you say the Pukki role is probably where he will show his best. It’s quite early to be writing him off.

    Villain: Chris Wilder has to stand out for me in recent years owing to that bizarre rant about the lateness of our team bus and generally creating a new rivalry against Sheff Utd causing some of our fans to get beaten up. Though I appreciate he’s gone on to say good things about our club that incident has tainted him for me. 

    Worst violence I've seen at a football game, I'm sure someone broke their jaw.

    I have watched the highlights of the recent game and would agree with the Op, Tzolis did look much fitter and sharper than I've seen before.

    I especially thought that he linked up well with Giannoulis, when he was playing from the left. This combination should have had an assist for the Idah goal, I cant for the life of me see how that was offside. On the whole, he was unlucky as for a bit of better finishing from our forwards, he could have had a few assists.

    The Celtic player was reaching for a bottle of water inside the Rangers kitbag, Cantwell immediately grabbed the bag away from him and threw it aside. Like a petulant child.

    This is the point, its about him moving the bag. 

    I don't think it's petulant or childish, professional sport is about marginal gains, and making sure his team don't share their refreshments is all part of the game. It makes it easy to see why Celtic fans wouldn't like this but I'm sure its endearing to a rangers fan who wouldn't be caught sharing a drink with the opposition fans.

    The population within that polygon is the comparator in the table above - although not certain 900K live within that?

    That looks remarkably like the outline of Norfolk, which has a population of 918,000 according to the ONS.

    In response to the OP, I think the upper limit could fill 45,000 regularly within a few years irrelevant of the league we are playing in. Bringing back the sort of pricing that grows the fan base, kids for a quid and adults in the region of £10. This is how we went from averaging averaging 15,000 to 25,000 in ten years. The average gate for 1997-2001 was about 15,000 and 2007-2011 about 25,000. 

    Supply and demand, get the pricing right and there will be bums on seats.

    The Netflix deal is worth between $100 million and $150 million, and they will be delivering a scripted series, documentaries and children's programming over several years.

    I think this says it all really, they have committed to a long term deal and the first step of that for Netflix is to grow their profile with an expose story. The more its spoken about the better as it will just grow the H&M brand, which will result in the higher end of that ludicrously big figure.

    I'm sure they have been wronged, or were not treated with the due respect. But I think how you chose to deal with issues shows your true character. 

    One thing I hope we can all agree on is that the Media love to feast on the Royals, they sell papers and get clicks, the desire to get a story does ruin peoples lives.

    I think we could and have done much worse should he sign. Also strikes me as having similar attributes to Pukki. 

    I personally would have liked him to sign for us, but that being said, I don't think he is the right signing for the club at this time. 

    I agree that he is a player in a similar mold to Pukki and has historically been of a similar level. That is, until Farke pushed Pukki to another level by playing a style to suit him exactly. But Smith does not get anything like the performances from Pukki that his predecessor got, because he doesn't play the system to suit him. 

    Therefore I think Vydra would have been a fantastic signing, a year or so ago to give Pukki a rest and competition but now its not worth it, we should focus on getting some tools that Smith likes to use/is suited to using.

    Btw the 4th jab is for the over 60’s

    just like the 3rd one was supposed to be for

    so it’ll be for everyone by the spring

    Is that a bad thing? 

    Do you or anyone you know take long term medication? I don't see this as any different.

    I'd add, although he's good and we like him, I personally think he's great, but try and pick a Prem team where he'd be a massive upgrade on their current RB. It's a toughy. #hardtalk 

    Newcastle seem to be playing Murphy in the right back position and I would consider him a significant upgrade there, they also have the money to spend.

    Incompetent for me.

    They kowtow to their employers. They do not have a backbone. There is more than one who looks like they were always the last kid to be picked for a side in P.E. and they would have wanted to be in a classroom, rather than near a sports pitch. Being a Ref is a chance for them to, at last, inflict revenge and one up man ship, on the 'cool kids'.

     

    What a childish outlook. I'm sure most people grow out of that sort of playground mentality when they leave school...

    Vax     


    1st Dose      19,979              88.9% done                               Norwich numbers   77.7% 

    2nd Dose     25,012              81% done                                                                  70.9%


    Booster     329,165     total          20,909,809                36.4%

    This statistic is painful to see, why do we lag behind so much in terms of vaccination in this fine city? I hope we can all agree on the efficacy of the vaccine, especially with the evidence being so clear. 

    Does anyone have any guesses as to the reason that Norwich lags behind the rest of the country?

    Factor's to consider:

    • The average age of the county being significantly higher than the national average, uptake is generally better amongst older age groups.
    • Demographic of the area is more polar than the national average, with lower representation of groups who have been reported to have lower uptake.

    A pundit is a person who offers to mass media opinion or commentary on a particular subject area

    The oxford definition of a pundit is "an expert in a particular subject or field who is frequently called upon to give their opinions to the public." 

    when did Youtube content creators get given the rank of expert?

    I've found the little content I've seen of theirs to be incredibly reactionary, shallow and lacking in any meaningful nuance or insight - which isn't what I look for in punditry, professional or self-appointed..

    They are not pundits, they are fans who make entertainment for Youtube. The aim ultimately is to get clicks and reactionary bold statements get clicks. 

    I haven't seen enough of their content to comment on nuance or insight.
