If we sold Rowe on promotion we’ve learnt nothing. He’s a good player but he’s unlikely to be interesting the top PL teams yet and he’ll already have his chance at a PL crack with us. In contrast I struggle to see a scenario where we keep hold of Tzolis.

Cov lead… and other games

Honestly just making the playoffs should be the objective so the main thing is Preston and Coventry losing. -
There’s few options, team pretty much picks itself. The gulf in strength between the two squads today was absolutely massive. Leicester bringing on players like Vardy and Justin while we had Gibbs and Fassnacht. Iheanacho and Coady sitting on the bench. Most of their bench would walk into our best 11 is the reality.

Losing to Leicester will get us promoted

4D chess in action, I’ll take that as a positive from an otherwise dire performance. -
Left back contract situation a little worrying?
Monty13 replied to JonnyJonnyRowe's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I’m with those that can’t see Dimi staying, I imagine Knapper wants to freshen up the squad and while I like him, Dimi has proved consistently inconsistent and must be on high wages. McCallum is younger, still potential to improve but depending on the league we are in he’s unlikely to be first choice especially because he wasn’t already this season. I wouldn’t be surprised to see both leave, but if we were to keep one I suspect it’s McCallum. Pretty sure the implication from Knapper was we weren’t having any other contract discussions yet with players out in the summer, maybe that’s still the case. Id be surprised if we don’t give Sorensen one more year due to his utility but he shouldn’t be in a conversation about having two genuine LBs IMO, he’s 3rd (arguably 4th because of Kenny) choice. -
Neither would Knapper

Resounding home win. -
They spent a lot of money on the ground and improving other related things. While they’ve undoubtedly bought their way out of the division, that money wasn’t all on the playing squad.

The English National Anthem
Monty13 replied to dylanisabaddog's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Except it’s the other way round. God save the King is the U.K. National Anthem, England doesn’t have one and that’s why it’s used for most sporting events when England are represented. -
Webber makes the national news
Monty13 replied to dylanisabaddog's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Agree with this. Whats technically true isn’t necessarily helpful in helping us move forward as a society, labelling a person racist isn’t particularly helpful as the connotations of that word are so much worse than the technical language definition. Humans learn through trial an error, making mistakes is absolutely paramount for learning and growing. We all have prejudices, many of which are unconscious, condemn what people say and point out why so they can grow but without a consistent pattern of ignorance to that opportunity I don’t feel labelling them as such is helpful. It doesn’t promote the environment for people to improve themselves and their understanding. -
The English National Anthem
Monty13 replied to dylanisabaddog's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
It is truly appalling how instead of extolling the true virtues of the English people and this country a lot of the establishment saw the way to distance themselves from the minority of the worst nationalist bigots was to attack anything nationalistic itself. -

Land of hope and glory has always been my favourite personally, I like the tune. Although the issue with all these great old patriotic hymns are the lyrics are a tad problematic lol -

He’s absolutely spot on. -

He wasn’t daring, he didn’t fall into a trap. This has nothing to do with the “woke brigade”, I’m willing to bet a bunch of people on here and elsewhere are pretty unhappy with the extremes of racial politicking but still know Webber was in the wrong. He lumped a bunch of young men together because they are black, I’m honestly shocked you refuse to see that and at what you keep writing on this subject. -

Christ this is boring. People have pointed out multiple times why what he said was racist, you keep ignoring it. He profiled 5 black men, he attributed things to them collectively that were not true about all of them. What he said was racist. That doesn’t make him racist just because he said something racist, but it doesn’t change what he said and calls into question why he said it. The fact he named these individuals also defames their character, family and upbringing. A bigger deal for those individuals definitely, but doesn’t take away from the above. He said something he should not have done, he’s apologised and the club has released a statement, both of which took longer than they should have IMO but it was required. I’m pretty sure personally he didn’t mean to be racist, I think once again his ego got the better of him and he started to take some tacit credit for these lad’s achievements without thinking for a second of the impact of what he was saying on them and their families. He’s got main character syndrome and he finally unthinkingly said something that upset more people than he’s used to, maybe he’ll learn but damage has been done because he didn’t think. -

I think the racism was what wasn’t welcome.
