  1. ''And you could get yet another free ticket you plastic'' What a pointlessly provocative post. Why not think long and hard before you write?
  2. Not wishing to dampen the spirits of supporters that rise at any signing the club makes, but I suspect judgement is best reserved over Ivor. He may be a speed merchant down the flank, but if the interview with the Zagreb-based football writer is anything to go by, someone who has watched his every game this season, then defensively he may well not be an upgrade. And it''s the defence that needs the attention.
  3. A supposed £15m price tag has been slapped on his head by Norwich. All well and good if he stays, good money if he goes.
  4. It is rather a simplistic argument to say that Norwich do not possess the type of players that earn penalties. Penalties can be awarded for handball, goalkeeper rush of blood, and didn''t Turner concede a penalty early in a match a few seasons ago for pushing in the box?!! I am not aware that Norwich have ever earned a penalty from pushing/holding in the box, but than again I have never seen a goal disallowed for an overhead kick other than Jerome''s........
  5. Does the ''all-bar-announced'' purchase of Pinto mean that a part-exchange deal with Leeds involving Byram and Lafferty is a non-starter?
  6. We continue to be linked with Gayle, so if it was a straight choice, who would you prefer....... ...Gayle or Naismith?
  7. Man City''s away form has been appalling of late. Until yesterday''s win at Watford they could barely even by a goal for the last few months. Without Kompany, they are defensively suspect. With a Carling Cup semi-final this week, I would think Pellegrini would attach more importance to that first leg. It couldn''t be a better time to play them in the cup, and I hope the players see this very much as a good opportunity to progress. Man City will want a draw even less than ourselves........
  8. Thank-you, Mane...... ......dropped to bench for disciplinary reasons.....
  9. You get a better idea from the views of fans than reading Wikipedia or taking your point of view, Miggins. The phrases ''slow'' and ''prone to mistakes'' kept repeating - qualities as far removed from a relegation-saving centre-half that we could wish for........
  10. Having read through kirku''s posts, fingers crossed he doesn''t fancy Norwich as a destination......
  11. It has become very nauseating the way Niall Qlown is wheeled on as a co-commentator whenever we have to suffer Sunderland live on Sky. The man is so bias I swear he will break down in tears during one of these commentaries if Sunderland continue with such dire performances.
  12. Everton are under-achieving. With Lukaku scoring goals for fun, Barkley and Stones down the spine of the team, they should be a lot higher than 11th. They were a solid defensive unit last season, somehow Martinez has succeeded in turning that around for the worse.
  13. I used to respect the guy, but he has rapidly turned into a dislikeable toad over this potential Naismith transfer. How many times has he got to '' have a chat'' with Naismith? In two weeks? With his team under-performing, I can understand him not wanting to give a rival a leg-up too early in the transfer window. However, it does appear that he doesn''t value Naismith enough to play him, and isn''t giving much regard to the player''s best interests.
  14. Naismith offers far more than Grabban, Hooper and Lafferty. If Norwich get dragged into and end of season relegation battle, rest assured Naismith and Brady are just the sort of players you would want in the team. Naismith offers drive, determination, work-rate, and an ability to find the back of the net at PL level, something the other three certainly don''t. It will also be a boost to the player to have a manager that is clearly determined to sign him, rather than have a manager that shows little faith in him.
  15. Having watched Watford earn a point against Chelsea thanks to a carefree handball from Matic and a massive deflection for Ighalo. Swansea gaining three points from a freak goal. Aston Villa getting away with a handball by Westwood in the box, therefore finishing with a draw. When did Norwich last get lucky?
  16. On a weekend when six of the goals scored in the Premier League were from penalties, it was disconcerting to discover that the figure is equal to the total number of penalties awarded to NCFC in their most recent three and a half seasons of PL football, and two more than they have actually scored!The two penalties that have been awarded in each of the previous three PL seasons, have seen Norwich regularly near the bottom of the ''penalty award'' table. So far this season, with a score of  -4, (penalties awarded less penalties conceded), they find themselves bottom of the pile.......Coincidence? Bad luck? Or other......?
  17. I would consider it churlish to claim that any professional footballer would deliberately attempt to break a fellow pro''s legs. I am sure that thought was far from Maclean''s vacant brain. He was certainly trying to leave his mark......
  18. Having had a modicum of sympathy for Bournemouth with their early season injuries, that sympathy is now a distant memory. Following their game against Manchester United reserves last week, they finished yesterday''s game facing just nine players. Maclean''s lunacy was as helpful as the penalty that was awarded for a foul committed outside the box. Five red cards have been dished out against Bournemouth''s opposition so far this season, more than any other PL side, and five more than Norwich.
  19. You did. It might be fairer to compare Kante with Tettey as he has scored the same number of goals as Howson and created more chances.......from his more defensive position.........
  20. You look at Vardy........you think of Grabban.......you weep....... You look at Mahrez.....you think of Redmond......you weep...... You look at Kante.....you think of Howson.......you weep...... ....and all three for an extra paltry £2.5m..... You think of Leicester''s scouting system.....you think of Norwich''s scouting system.....and the only thing that comes to mind is van Wolfswinkle........
  21. I am surprised this is up for discussion, and I would hope it hasn''t even entered the minds of the board. AN has all the attributes of becoming a successful manager in the long term, and long may he remain at NCFC. It would be refreshing if, even were Norwich to be relegated, the Board showed him some faith and loyalty, and considered resigning long before sacking the manager.
  22. I can''t be sure on the exact number, but FYI it is 54/55/56 games since Norwich had back-to-back wins in the Premier League. Quite possibly a record that is unlikely to be beaten.
  23. Watford are 11 points ahead of us after one third of the season - they have left us in their wake. I have little doubt that had Calum Wilson not succumbed to a serious injury, Bournemouth would be in a similar position to Watford. Norwich have remained relatively ''injury free'' this season, so the majority of fans were expecting the City players'' previous PL experience to give them an advantage. Sadly, this appears not to be the case. They are proving to be consistently inconsistent, hence AN''s much maligned chopping and changing of the team. Alex Neil is clearly an excellent manager, which leads to the conclusion that many of the squad have a limit to their ability, and that limit, unfortunately, rests somewhere between the Premier League and the Championship.
