Tune is Michael row the boat.Michael Rose is gonna score, hallelujah.etc

Why would you let your goalkeeping coach go on holiday during the middle of the season, why not let him go on holiday during an international week?Why do we need a goalkeeping coach anyway?Did he improve the goalkeeping skills of Andy Marshall, Robert Green, Paul Gallacher, David Marshall?Ken Oxford, Ken Nethercott, Sandy Kennon, Kevin Keelan and Chris Woods never had a full time goalkeeping coach at Norwich and I would swap any of them for any of the keepers that have been coached by Malcolm Webster, Perry Suckling or James Hollman.Oh yeah and he''s a scu***r.

Hey if I was a  board member, I''d much rather spend £250,000 converting Scores to the restaurant Yellows than on the defender Martin Taylor and I’m sure you all would too. Hmm what’s the saying....  Oh yeah.  "FOOTBALL must come first".

Have a look at the FA website, it will eventually be on there.http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/Disciplinary/SuspensionLists/

1st man:        I think my dog is a blacksmith.2nd man:       Why is that?1st man:        Because when I kick him, he makes a bolt for the door.

Oh dear, what of I started?  Tee Hee. Should I mention brought and bought? What a difference an r can make! Both words are used when communicating in the past tense, but have entirely different meanings. Bought: past tense of   "to buy". "Jeremy bought a new computer for £500." Brought: past tense of   "to bring". "Katherine brought several bottles of wine to the party." I don''t know about you, but I like Katherine betterer.  

Well, just try conjugating it: I of, you of, he/she/it ofs, we of, you of, they of. I don''t think so! Its have that you are looking for. Could have, Would have, Should have.

[quote user="Web Team - Vince"]The problem was at a third party supplier..Everyone on the webdesk is highly trained and knew exactly how to celebrate when we couldn''t get on with web work (erm, get on with other work), but tonight it appears that the linesman has put his flag up signalling we have to return to the centre-circuit in the morning.[/quote]How many supplied parties do you need, one is normally enough!  The poor old players at Carra have had to cancel theirs!

Please help I need more stupid questions for the SUPPORTERS INFORMATION POINT outside the River End.  If the club is going to provide them then we should (ab)use them. The poor spotty oik (just like the one from The Simpsons) was getting very wet by his brand new gleaming white stand, so i just had to ask the question.  "When will it stop raining?"  "I dunno." Was the reply. What sort of information was that?  The correct answer should have been 21:36, then a warm front will come in from the North sea. So next weeks question, "How many beans make five?"  Unless you have a better one?

This is a tough one YC, not many rhyming names at Carra. Young defender know as Andy Cave-Brown, Suffered injury that knocked him back down, On his comeback he said, "I''ll score two with my head, Which is one more than striker Chris Browne". So I will cheat and just chuck in a couple of limericks that do not have two rhyming names. There once was a right back called Drury, Was made City captain by jury. Was as slow as your Dad. Marking corners was bad. Couldn''t organise piss up in brewery. The right winger know as Lee Croft, Wore pink and was said to be soft, Away fans would just say, "Are you sure he’s not gay, Saw him dancing away in The Loft". Legal Disclaimer:  Please note that the above limericks are not true, have been completely made up for comedy purposes, and are parodies and not to be taken seriously.

If my memory (cards) serve me correctly I remember that he has a great shot.  I have heard from a good source that he is in the frame for a run out on Saturday.

E2V, next time you are bored watching the rubbish in front of you on the lovely £700,000 pitch have a look around at the wonderful stadium, the restaurants, the car parks, the travel shop, the car showroom, the new Yellows pub, the hotel.  Then look at the City stand glance up a bit, it says Norwich City FOOTBALL Club, then think about how all that money could have been spent on improving that rubbish squad that you are fed up watching.Thats why I blame the board because of the millions of pounds that has been wasted on non football issues!

So you have a two and a half hour drive home, it must mean you have a two and a half hour drive to the game, you then spend ~ 90mins watching the game, so you commit approx six and a half hours to watch a Norwich City match.  That’s a quarter of your day and surely the most important part of your day as you are a committed fan and have driven two and a half hours to get there, and you can''t spare another 5 minutes, why bother to even drive all that time? The chap along the row leaves on 85 minutes, no matter what time the match kicks off, so there can be no train / bus excuse there.  He then misses 4 minutes of extra time, a total of 9 minutes or 10% of the match.  He pays approx £25 a match for a ticket, and wastes £2.50 per match or £60 per season if you include one cup game.  Why? Yes I have read the above and I do sort of understand, but no I still don''t really understand. City Till (five minutes before) I Die!

Yes too loud, i could not hear any banter from the Barclay to the Blue Tongues until the game had started.  Also during the game it buzzes like hell in the Riverend.

CUSDP, I agree with your point about the defence playing the ball over the midfield, however during that 6 to 10 minutes he never once dropped back to give the defenders an easy pass to him and make himself space to enable him to dictate the game.I have not seen him play for England youth teams so i cannot comment on that.If the fans have so much influence on a game, how do you explain that park teams can win games with just one man and his dog watching?  Fans not signing is acceptable, we pay to get in and don''t have to sing if we dont want to!  Players are paid very well to play football, regardless of age, quality or ability, is it acceptable that they do not put in the commitment and effort on a matchday?

He was shocking v QPR, watch the video back when he lets a QPR player run 30 yards onto goal and then he backs away letting the player get in a shot that hits the post.  Watching the first half today, i was conscious that he had not touched the ball for a while, i noted the time 37 mins, so when did he next touch it?  43 mins, so it was a minimum of 6 mins but nearer 10 mins without him touching the ball.  Then he proceeds to lope about the pitch running close to the opposition players, making it look like he''s involved in the game, but having absolutely no impact on it whatsoever.The worst bit about this for me is the fact that his wages are (possibly) £1,000 to £2,000 per week!  Nice work if you can get it!

I could not hear the booing in the N&P.  Doc is always a bit in and out but does not deserve boos. I also do not understand why Safri got as much flak as he did today.  OK he allegedly has been a pain in the butt off the field, but can we really fault his commitment on the pitch, he was Moroccan all over the world for two seasons and we loved him.  Today he put in his usual hefty challenges, which we loved when he was playing for us, suddenly he was a winker according to the Barclay. Its time for the Barclay Boys to grow up a bit, raise the vocal levels a lot and inspire the rest of us moaning lot to sing with them in praise of our players.  Come on Barclay you were great today when we were playing well, keep singing all game and the rest of us will (eventually) follow.  Then Carra will be the cauldron of noise and intimidating for the other team and not our own players. OTBC.

He had a very good game today and changed the second half with his desire and passion to get the ball and then pass it well.  The new Ian Crook?OTBC.

I sit N&P Lower Tier Row N on the 6 yard line, I am pretty sure it was over the line.  Of the 20 or so people sitting around me I only heard one chap just behind me say that it was only partly over the line, the others thought it was a goal. If it had been Norwich, I would have been very annoyed that it had not been given, its time for technology to be used.  Its 2007 not 1977 football is all about big money now, microchips and proximity readers have been around for years, why can''t they be installed in all the match balls, goal line, posts and bar; when the ball completely crosses the goal line / frame a very loud hooter parps and we all know instantly that its a goal.  Failing that some sort of goal frame cameras, Hawkeye technology and the 4th official sorts it out. In fact why not put these ball sensors along all the touch lines, then we know its a corner, goal kick, throw.  Why not put prox sensors in the players boots so that we know where they are in relation to other players then offside decisions could be beeped in the refs ear?  We know that Norwich have this Pro Training thingy that Dave Carolan uses to find out that Andy Hughes runs about a lot but was still rubbish (sorry Lee B!), the cameras can be seen all around the ground, why can''t that be used? OK now I am on a rant!  Good old blind ref / Lino saved us 3 points bless em! OTBC

FUBAR FC!

Surely BB FOOTBALL First has made some valid points about money wasted.  We are, as he says, called Norwich City FOOTBALL club, not Norwich City Catering Car Sales Holiday Hotel Club, our business is FOOTBALL.  Any money diverted away from FOOTBALL must be detrimental to us on the pitch. £2M was spent building the kitchens in the Barclay, the next thing we know Craig Bellamy is sold.  What if only £1.5M was spent on the kitchens, would the food be of lesser quality? No, the chefs would have less space and not such good ovens, but surely £500K could have been spent on Bellers wages possibly persuading him to stay and score goals to push us on to promotion.  £8 to 10M spent on the Jarrold stand, why?  OK the South stand was not going to get a safety certificate without modifications, so restrict its capacity and spend the money on the FOOTBALL team.  Yes it’s a lovely stand, but maybe the money spent would have seen us get promotion, ensuring a cash windfall, and then you build the new stand.  Do you hear them complaining at Portsmouth about the ground, no because the money is spent on FOOTBALL, and they stay in the Prem. Premier season 2005-2006, we are crying out for a goal scoring FOOTBALLER, he turns up in January scores a hatful and nearly keep us in the prem.  What do we do that pre season?  Spend ~£1M on a new pitch, dugouts for photographers and new bases for TV cameras around the pitch. £1M that should have been spent bringing Ashton in 5 months earlier, getting us that one more win and that cash windfall that allows us to improve the pitch the next season. It’s a FOOTBALL club, so the money should be spent on the team first, then hotels later when we are established in the Prem.  BBFF is right!  Can you really argue against that?
