    We all appear to be on the same wave lengths on this thread. That doesnt really suprise me.Everton, Stoke and Fulham are clubs that we should clearly looking to follow. Look how far we''ve come from the ''let''s all do a Charlton'' days [;)]Allow me to take this thread off topic slightly as I have fears about all of those clubs.Everton: when Moyes leaves (as all managers will do eventually) there will be doubts about whether or not they can maintain the exceptionally high standards unless they employ another great manager. Nothing to suggest they wont of course, the lack of money continues to be a talking point mind.Stoke: I really really do not want to become a Stoke. Their fans are great and they''ve achieved some fantastic things since their promotion to the Premiership. I hate their style of football (effective though it may be) and Tony Pulis is a big reason as to why they play the way they do. They have some wealthy backers as well I believe- The Coates family (could have their name completely wrong) has been pumping money into them, that cannot carry on forever. Fulham: without Al Fayed they would be up s*** creek. Have done well to establish themselves though, great players and manager.I think the thing that sets us apart from the 3 mentioned clubs is that our board has aims to make us self sustainable. I went to the supporters forum which took place in October or November of last year and the main thing I remember from that occasion is McNally setting out the aims and ambitions of this club. Increased capacity, self sustainabilty and constant premier league football.Get through next year and the sky, never mind the ceiling is the limit for me. We have so much potential here, Lambert would be a fool to leave.I''m sure Mr Lambert wouldnt want anyone to think he''s a fool now?!

    I reluctantly have to agree with the view that there is only so far we can go. Having said that, it''s surely better to hit the ''ceiling'' rather than being at the bottom.It will be interesting (with the benefit of hind sight) to look back at this season to see if it''s a ''fluke'' season.To describe it a ''fluke'' is the wrong word as we have a talented manager, set of players and a board with nous but I sometimes feel that the euphoria of two successive promotions has played a big part. Next season will be huge. If it plays out like this one then we''ll be well on the way to becoming an established premier league club (again).

    There is an interesting debate on TalkSPORT about the demise of Liverpool and what they need to do to get back to their ''glory days''. Now I am not for one minute putting us on the same level as Liverpool FC but it did get me thinking about how we can continue to improve and prosper.Is money the only thing that a club needs to improve? It is to become a club reguarly challenging for titles in this country. Obviously the top 5 (United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Citeh and Spurs) are where they are, because they have lots of money at their disposal but - and this is where LFC comes in- we could finish above the Red half of merseyside this season despite them spending more than £100m. We spent £10 million in the summer (ballpark figure) which is roughly 10 % of what the Reds spent (on the basis that all figures are correct). There is one main reason as to why we''re doing so well. Paul Lambert.Over the last 2 years we''ve accelerated at such a rate that has taken all us by suprise and we currently sit comfortably mid table. Lambert comes across as the sort of man who is incredibly driven and I think that we could easily become a club, under him, that finishes in 6th/7th and 8th year in and year out. The players we have signed are ''lower league gems'' and while this is no bad thing I feel that the calibre of players might have to improve so that we can continue to grow and establish ourselves. I dont for one minute believe that we can become a regular Champions League club without significant investment and I dont think that is necessarily a bad thing. I''m sure we''d all be delighted with finishes of 7th and 8th every season (heck we could finish in those sports this season) and that might be ''ceiling hit'' from our point view.We''re in a particularly special time as a club and I just hope that when Lambert eventually leaves we dont fall back into the old depths of despair that we have experienced only 2 short years ago.Your thoughts please Canary people?`

[/quote]Is that a genuine question, or are you being a knob again CT?On the off chance it is genuine, I am a home season ticket holder and get to as many away games as I can afford. I have only managed two away this season though, due to wrok.[/quote]Right so we''ve established that you cant get to every game, which is fair enough. I dont know anyone who has.Why then, did you feel the need to make the snidey little comment of ''did he sound good on the radio'' to First Wiz? It was an obvious mockery of him and your view of him as someone who doesnt go to many games?Nobody can go to every game.

    One of the reasons I prefer away games is that I dont hear the moaning from our fans - because it doesnt happen at away games!I dont know about any other away day go-ers but I always tend to see the same regular faces following the boys up and down the  country. I dont believe that the away day-ers are better fans than the home support but I do think that the effort to get up really early in the morning and then sitting on a coach for god knows how long makes the smaller group of supporters appreciate the games and therefore people just dont moan.There are people who travel a long way to Carrow Road for home games, I bet those people dont moan either. They and the people who go to away games appreciate being there.

    For me:1. Swansea away. Awful journey, feared we were going to get a hiding. Came out firing and battered those Welsh boyo''s [:D]Amazing away day.2. Liverpool away. A ground that I''d always wanted to go and I finally got the chance this season.3. Man Utd away. If only Pilks had buried  his chance :( Great memories of the trip though, loved singing ''we support our local team'' at the group of Asian Utd fans while making our way into the away end.4. Wolves at home. We only hate Wolves and I*****h, to get a win was pleasing. Hope they go down.5. QPR away. As I walked out the ground I told the steward to ''enjoy stewarding in the champ'' next year. Their fans were incredibly arrogant before kick off as well..Other notables: Wigan away- our first game back in the big time. Chelsea- my first visit to a big club on a Norwich away dayMan City away- yeah we lost but I enjoyed watching their classy football.What say you?

    Fulham have been the team I''ve wanted to beat ever since I knew we were going to be a premier league side. I''m sure I dont really need to explain my reasoning...Yesterday was good as it means Fulham and Everton are no longer ''must wins'' - more ''nice if we win''.Reversing the 6-0 or dishing out a similar scoreline next week would be extremely satisfying.
