  1. Didn’t see that but there’s definitely something different about the game from Saturday’s… from the muted crowd noise when Sargent juggles and jiggles and smashes it in (almost identical to Saturday), this one’s clearly an away game
  2. Respect for the honesty i.e. assuming that yours is less
  3. Should get the 2025 edition (just have to manually correct the days) to ensure up-to-date squad
  4. If making systematic poor decisions against your own interests is a vital sign of youth, let’s plead guilty to decrepitude
  5. Your ‘Make believe’ = rest of world’s ‘adjusted for inflation’… since you didn’t read my previous post
  6. Amazing what a great run can do.….another outbreak of harmony among the brew boys
  7. Could we have yet another set-piece hero in the making?

  9. Another exercise would be to convert the guesstimates into 2023/4 (or 1902) values, then do the same for the costlier players of yesteryear and add them into the list https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator It won’t make much if any difference to the membership top 10, given they’re all from the last 10 years. Alsofootball inflation will have outstripped ordinary inflation by so much over the last 30 years. But it would jig the positioning around a bit.
  10. They must be counting on playing all their remaining league games in the conjugal trailer?
  11. Thank you Wikipedia for enlightening us so uniquely “Most of the games of Blooming that more fans is (El Clásico Cruceño), Blooming v Oriente. Which the 2 Clubs win a greta amount of Money.”
  12. If written records didn’t exist, I might sympathise with this view. If we just had to rely on trusting the random thoughts of old-timers (no disrespect!) who assured us that things weren’t really as good as what we’ve got now. I, too, feel sad we’re not pushing at the top of the English game as we were when/just before I started supporting Norwich. That doesn’t stop me looking at the facts about the context of that era.
  13. Disagree. The fact it’s professional and the top levels of its class means the stakes are higher and cheating can have all the greater an unfair impact on the competitions. Why is there a ref and a rule book? Why do pro sports have anti-doping bodies? Because cheating is fundamentally opposed to fairness, level playing fields and pure competition .
  14. Just checked, if he keeps it up he’ll equal Warnock in record promotions to the PL (although the latter had 4 lower league promotions.. Farke doesn’t bother with that level…)
  15. ‘Farke on a course’.. to something good. 12 for, 1 against
  16. Not half! looked like it was to the only square yard on the pitch the guy could have scored from
  17. What’s the chorus for that? (The Sing Hosanna part)
  18. Don't recognise many of those faces .. just Onel &... the rest What a beauty though
  19. The aim is getting a shout at promotion, not just survival
  20. Tricky for managers .. What price ‘honour’.. as presumably misses out on last pay day (compo)
  21. I’d make an exception for the conscious presentational choices. I’m thinking here particularly about the ‘two clubs till I die’ tattoos I suppose someone may have done that whilst he was unconscious & he’d not noticed
  22. I think the loaded phrase ‘a success of sorts’ might be apt Smith left us at 5th place (but sinking) in Dec last season Wagner joined us in 12th place in Jan and took us to 13th last season Now we’re in 9th place Finishing in the play-offs in May would be an improvement on where we are now, on what Wagner originally inherited, & on what he’s managed with us do far. It could indicate a potential springboard for next season given smarter work in the summer than we’ve seen. You could say it would be an unexpected bonus, given the last 2 seasons and our autumn injury crisis. Unfortunately it’s partly Wagner’s own track record with us (and his last couple of jobs) that lowered the bar, I’m afraid (as well as Smith’s mediocre performances twice on the heels of false promise, since I assume most would agree he didn’t look like turning the ship around.
