  1. always want the scum to lose , so QPR win for me - if us beating them puts them down or nearly down , can only be a good thing
  2. been several Charlton Home 87? - ref knocked unconcious by protesting Chrlton players Ipswich Home FAC 83 - Alan Brazil missing an open goal with 2 minutes left and us 1-0 up   Exeter away FAC 1990 - Police had a ticket barrier outside , aksing people to show tickets before they approached the ground - countless NCFC fans said " why would I get up in the middle of the night to get here and have no ticket " ( you probably had to be there )  Liverpool away 1988 - lost 6 -2 we scored in the 88th and 90th minute - standing on the steps waiting to go and watching sad Liverpool fans walking past - disappointed to have let in two goals Must be loads more      
  3. I know they are always a battle , but to start a war on the next day sounds a bit extreme    
  4. And why are we little Norwich - surely that makes our ambitions and aspirations blatantly obvious - Middling championship club , if we get promotion , won;t matter if we come down again - we will still get 25,000 mugs turn up every week and can tell them anything we are Norwich - full stop - to 40,000 people teh biggest and most important club in the world  
  5. I attended my first match at the age of 3 in 1972 - I was a regular at home and away in the 80''s and considered myself a true fan - Since then I have raised a family with all the financial and time constraints that entails and as such my attendence has dwindled considerably to the point where I attend maybe 1 or 2 home games each season - however my son received for christmas , the NCFC strip and  annual in addition to the NCFC Advent calendar he had and the FITC courses he attends . So if anyone considers me as anything other than a true supporter I would argue my case strongly - I heard it said once that around 200,000 people consider themselves as fans of NCFC even if around 20,000 actually attend matches  
  6. definitely no myth !!!   the guy came from the Yarmouth area if I remember correctly

  8. you do have a choice in the matter - there are two other local stations ( Both with little or no mention of our "friends" ) Radio Boredland lost me as a listener a long while ago and are unlikely to ever get me back - I grew tired of the constant Look at me , aren;t I great attitude of the presenters as well as teh sport for a Norwich station that concentrated on a team 45 miles away  Retune your dial and move away - you will happier in the  long run       
  9. I think the Testimonial for long serving players has had it;s day - they are wealthy indivisuals who have no need for any financial assistance fior their retirement - injured players are differnent entirely I think that Fleming should publicise the fact that some of teh money is going to charity - people may support the evening more - if they knew that I assume teh prices are high , because Newcastle will not come cheaply for an evening here - they can;t be bringing many of their ultra loyal fans either
  10. no problem with Flem at all , but I am against the awarding of testimonials now for any  professional footballer who has not had their career cut short  by injury . He has been a professional for a t least 15 years , spending that time earning far more than most of us can ever imagine - he doubtless lives in a large house , has kids at private schools and lives an extremely comfortable life . I have , as I say nothing against teh man and he has served us well, but to have a testimonial where he receives the majority of teh receipts ( I assume Newcastle won;t come here for nothing either ) - receipts given by teh people who have paid his wages over the last ten years anyway through ticket and merchandise sales - it would be lovely for a donation to a local charity to be made by Fleming as a gesture of thanks to the supporters for keeping him here for ten years I will not be attending this testimonial , this does not mean that I am a Worthy in or outer , that I do not rate Fleming as a player or a person , I just disagree with the concept of lining the pockets of a very wealthy man anyway  
  11. i wish Foley , as a person well, I will however boo him for being connected to them lot down the road As I would any player or coach or manager ever who has been there
  12. i remember squeezing into the terrace at the corner of the Goldstone Ground , having a nightmare journey through London each way ( no M25 then ), watching Case cheat his way to the winner , when we had looked good value for a replay and then afterwards , coming out and seeing NCFC buses lined up on both sides of the road in each direction - was a bit of a  situation as i recall  Great day till they scored
  13. i believe he may well have been a full back brought in to do a man for man marking job on one of their wingers , didn;t play too often and he came from Dereham i believe Decent sweeper , man marker , but not much else really
  14. I was at the Beer Festival that night  , they put the score up once the game had finished - cue     many choruses of OTBC and much alcohol comsumption - although to be fair that was not influenced by the result
  15. for me Robinson was MOTM - always winning tackles and playing simple balls well I thought McVeigh was totally anonymous , as was Earnshaw  - we were lucky that Wolves are a poor side or we would have lost by more - Aliadere was awful !!! Re teh Lap at the end , I stayed only because my kids wanted to - applauded them as they passed , but still wondering if they took their kids to avoid abuse as people tend to be more reserved around kids  - also fans  say thanks , players thank fans , but only saw Etuhu and Colin actually on the track and not on pitch - don;t really think players wanted to even do it 
  16. 1 Cheat Johnson 2 Columbia 3 yes 4 rioch 5 camilla 6 Sheff Utd 7 Digital Phone Company 8 Neale Barry 9 FLeming 10 Alex Mathie - although  that game is erased from my mind  
  17. Andy Hughes is a championship footballer - his strength is tackling and winning the ball - he is not a right back ( we had one of those on the bench ) he is not a right winger ( we had one of those also on the bench ) yet our manager chooses to switch one of his midfield players into a position that he is not comfortable with nor very capable of playing in ( not a natural full back ) I have no problem with ANdy Hughes - okay Monday was not a good performance , but he is a 100% effort player who gets stuck in and does not hide - he will never be the most skilful player , but that is not what he is the team to do - he is expected to win the ball and pass it to a yellow shirt - in his proper position he does that - when the manager plays him out of position he struggles - understandably so - I have more of a problem with Etuhu who has not looked interested since he came It is unfair to single him out for Criticism in this season of underacheivement - you look at players throughout teh team who have underperformed - Jarrett , Etuhu , Even Ashton to a degree and you have to ask why ? - are they all poor players , or is teh problem a deeper one , ie with the management of the  players , the tactics employed or have teh championship winning players left at teh club become a bit of a clique making it  awkward for new players to settle We will probably never know , this season will be forgotten very quickly although the start of next season will determine how quickly - lets see out these last two games re group and really go for it next season = OTBC  
  18. he wanted to leave when we went down , but then contracts actually meant something - he threatened to strike when we refused teh bid from Man Utd and  then  couldn;t leave quick enough - he may have scored that winner , but we were only ever a stop gap for him , he is a money grabbing  Judas , wh o should never be employed by this club again
  19. i myself asked the club that through the official website - the answer was that these votes get hijacked by other clubs fans and the results get distorted - no plans to introduce one any time soon
  20. every fan is entitled to his or her own opinion - there will never be 25,000 people agreeing on whether Worthy should go or not - for what it is worth , I think he should - five years is a long spell for a manager at one club I disagree re Hughes - he is a workmanlike championship footballer , he is not a winger ( where he has polayed on numerous occasions ) he is not skilful or a good passer ( ala Safri ) however you need a water carrier in teh team and he is the guy to do that at the end of teh day , the protest will make people feel better I suppose , however  come 3.00 support teh team , and if we win we win  - if we lose , then so what   - people die , people  get ill - football compared to that doesn;t matter really does it
  21. has got to be Green Drury Doherty Rehman Shackell Johansson Safri Hughes Huckerby Earnshaw thorne Subs McVeigh Robinson Gallacher Fleming Henderson Hughes is a central midfield ball winner who is content to do Safris dirty work and then let Safri pass to people - I think Hughes is far better than a lot of peopel think - we could alwas have etuhu there instead Johansson has looked sharp in both games I have seen him play and should stay in McVeigh and Henderson both allow further attacking options as teh games progresses
