    It’s the cutting little holes in the socks that irritates me. If it helped I’m sure the sportswear manufacturers would make the socks with holes in them.  

    I would ban it, and now I’m ranting, I’d make any kind of hairband have to match the kit. Also, players have to wear mittens to stop them grabbing shirts.

    HMRC is singular so you meant to say 'HMRC is hopeless'. Actually it isn't. Compliance yield for 2022/23 was around £37bn (billion not million). 

    If Henderson comes back now he is liable to UK tax on his earnings in Saudi Arabia. There is no "deal" to be done. 

    HMRC statistics for 2021/22 show a tax gap of £739.3 billion.  Given most of us pay tax through our wages, or purchases, I consider it hopeless.  That is also assuming the tax liabilities after HMRC have been negotiated down.

    I had to Google to find out the date, but last time I went to Rovers was in 2010.  The last match of Lamberts Division One campaign.  What a fabulous season that was.  I recall much of the second half of the game was spent trying to get Fraser Forster to have another season on loan with us. 

    I won’t be bothering for the replay this time, to be honest I’d struggle to cross the road to watch us at the moment.  My experience was that the Rovers fans were a friendly bunch, having been through a lot, and if we were to lose the replay I wouldn’t begrudge them a good cup run.

    Knapper is a novice and has inherited a complete mess. 

    A board happy with stagnation and missing his predecessor, a squad of ageing, overpaid, unmotivated old pros.  Young players with few role models to learn from, and an expensive academy that isn’t producing quality young players and where the best get poached by other clubs anyway.

    Fans who have lost any connection with the team and club, not helped by criticism of them from the board, and apathy amongst many.

    In my opinion he can only get in a Coach he can trust, and hope for time to rebuild the playing squad and the change in ownership.  If we keep Wagner I hope we don’t waste more money and sign anyone for him in this window.  

    Forget the playoffs, imagine, by some miracle, sneaking into the playoffs - and then going up.  This squad and manager wouldn’t reach double figures in points in the Premier.

    I’m probably in a small minority, but I view Ipswich as Rivals not Enemies.  As football fans we have all witnessed real tragedy when things are taken to far, and I don’t think referring to any teams fans as scum is necessary.
     

    I think the behaviour of those Ipswich fans involved is abhorrent, and I don’t see why the club couldn’t comment as such.  As a community club, I would hope we would speak out if roles were reversed, and if children have been impacted at a game I would hope we would try and find a way to keep them interested in football.

    Wherever I have worked you tend to have some moaning whingers. The majority ignore them - until they perceive there actually is something not right.  
     

    In all my years watching Norwich, I think the away support tends to be a good barometer of feelings. Lose the travelling support, and you have a real problem.  That is why the Watford debacle was significant - it is the beginning of the end.  
     

    I also think on this occasion Delia has got it wrong, and her comments have increased the division between fans and club, and increased the pressure on the manager and team.

    If I was a player, if I liked Wagner and his style or not, I wouldn’t hang him out to dry like the players did today. Strolling about, no effort, knowing it would more than likely cost him his job. What a cowardly bunch of backstabbing losers they are. 
     

    They may be footballers, but they certainly aren’t professional, and I could live without seeing any of them in a yellow shirt again.

    Did well choosing Farke. Didn’t ignore the noise and sacked him rather than admitting to more horrendous recruitment.

    Pi££ed two lots of Premier money up the wall.

    Wasted money on a training centre that produces spineless bottlers, and precious little young talent - that has to be sold after 6 months anyway.

    Ironically Farke is in demand, I don’t think Stu will be.
