Haley has been the first to throw her hat in the ring for the Republican candidacy. Who do we reckon will be on the GOP ticket? Bookies say it will be a two-horse race between The Donald and DeSantis. Surely DeSantis is the only winner there.

The club seems to have an "Us v Them" attitude when it comes to anyone who has an opinion that differs to their own agenda, hence why the Journalists have wrongfully been exiled as a result of the recent rift. Stop trying to run a closed shop.

We are not that 'hemmed in' as there's still potential for large expansions to the City and the land behind the Jarrold Stand. The River-End apartments and Carrow Park have been also only been built in recent years. Carrow Road isn't hemmed in at all when compared to other urban stadia such as Selhurst Park, The New Den, Vicarage Road, Goodison Park to name a few. The alternative to Carrow Road would be a "By-pass Stadium" like Coventry, Brighton or Colchester, probably built off the A47 or A11. I think supporters would almost be unanimously in favour of remaining at Carrow Road.

Yep, exactly this. Once one is free of the constant addiction by way of validation, FOMO etc. of social media, watch how much happier and productive one becomes in life... (whether it is setting strict daily limits, or even better by cold turkey deleting accounts). I'm pretty sure I recall reading in the EDP a few years ago that some of the coaching staff encouraged Todd to delete his Social Media for bit to focus on his football: Todd said no.

We have had some great seasons and incredibly memorable matches, playing tasty football under Lambert, and Farke (Walker and O'Neill were before my time). Alex Neil worth a mention too for salvaging the "Wembley season" and seeing off Town in the play-offs, and the outstanding performance for the win over Boro on the day. His spell was great considering how young he was when he he took the Norwich job.

Ask youself why Lambert and Steer exited to go to Villa when they did. Lambert was given no money to spend to build on an 11th place PL finish achieved using League 1 and loan players only. Steer was a youth player who got offered a chance of first-team PL football behind Brad Guzan, and coached by Shay Given, and probably a decent package, so much so hat he is still there all these years later...! Lerner was the Aston Villa chairman at the time and they were likely paying a much tastier wage to their players than we were. De ja vu, a few years back Buendia reportedly nearly trebled his wage from moving from Norwich to Villa. Also a club thats won the European Cup with a large following every week isn't tinpot. They might be stuck in the 80's and obsessed with previous endeavours like some Ipswich fans are, but they are not tinpot.

Kane would have a PL Title and a FA cup winner's medal if he stayed at Leicester. All of his former clubs have won silverware of some sort, even Millwall and Leyton Orient, too 😂

This is still a rule in the IFAB laws of the game, law #12.2: It is six seconds. But it is rarely called on Goalkeepers by Referees. Maybe if the lawmakers were serious about stamping out time-wasting and dissent, they would enforce this rule again with consistently...

I can't stomach his articles anymore. The guy is completeley blinkered, and will argue black and white against any critism of the current regime. He even results to condescending jibes on the Facebook fan forum now for anyone who doesn't agree with him.

I can see it being Neil Warnock until end of season, to help with deciding the fate of the players who may be cut in the massive clear-out in May. It will be someone who is friendly with Delia: Steve Bruce, Roy Hodgson or Russel Martin are also honourable mentions.

Yes a bit embarrasing really, this has always been the case. They should call it was it is then, TICKETS SOLD; Why do they try and pass off "tickets sold" as "official attendance"?

I'm not even bothered about DS or the style of football we are playing, its a given of when, not if, DS is sent packing. Webber has to go, it’s funny how the bloke openly sla'gs off "his predecessors" yet is doing a much worse job on all fronts. With exception of Buendia, not one credible signing. Appalling timing of Farke sacking. Openly slating the fans for “giving up”. Ostracising and barring local media as they hold a different opinion and are not allowed to criticize his regime. Need I go on, the club has gone backwards massively under his tenure. Until the Board is willing to listen to the fans, and invest in the club rather than this "self-funding business" cra'p, watch the attendances continue to dwindle.

Has the official attendance figure been released? Empiest CR has been in years for a league game. Looks like people are starting to voting with their feet. Or was it "BeCaUsE iT wAs CoLd, & GaMe WaS LiVe oN SkY! "?

If its better than any title, the club will probaby scramble to put this on the Club Honours' List, next to "UEFA Cup Participants".

I wonder if Russ was ever brave enough to ask John Terry how he was voting on Brexit. 😶

It's the broken mechanisms which the Government claim they "can't change, wont' change" that the Public should point their anger at. Not the Immigrants / Asylum Seekers / Economic Migrants themselves. Poor journalism from rags on both the left and the right like The Sun, The Daily Mail, and The Independent do not help this. They simply stir up anger and prejudice towards the wrong entity.

How on earth did Japan lose to Costa Rica AND STILL win that group? 🇯🇵😂

Any system can be manipulated. the AV referendum has probably buried that system for good, annoyingly as a result the two main parties have and will continue to cling onto the FPTP system. The problem with the current FPTP system is that if you live in a certain part of the country, your vote effectively counts for nothing as Labour and Tories have their respective "safe seats". Whereas under, PR votes are better represented. This is why I think the idea of a Citizens Assembly would be a decent idea as the working class such as The Nurses, The Teachers, The White Van Men, The Factory Workers, The Uniformed Services etc. would be an extra layer of vetting for a different demographic of people to get their say, as MPs are not common working folk anymore, not even most Labour MPs... For example, look at the fresh attack on lower & middle class workers that Hunt's budget launched last week, especially the Public Sector PAYEs and the private sector Self-Employed. No one voted for that, not even Tory voters...

unfortunately the numbers are fictitious, just like Qatar's record on Human Rights and Workers Rights. 💩

There's Norfolk'n chance that he'll be re-selected for the next GE by the sounds of it. 😂

The AV referendum was a distractive plot by the two main parties to hold onto First Past The Post for as long as possible. It's ironic that all fringe parties have been unanimous for decades that the UK Gerneal FPTP system is impregnable to new parties and is only there to protect Tories and Labour. FPTP used to work well in 3 candidates or less but now is arguably completely outdated. 2015 is a great example of this: UKIP - 3.8m votes, zero seats Lib Dem - 2.4m votes, only 8 seats Green - 1.1m votes, only 1 seat. SNP - 1.4m votes, FIFTY SIX seats (Tories 11m, Labour 9m). Under PR as a percentage of the vote, UKIP would have gotten 90 seats, Lib Dems would have gotten roughly 57 seats, Greens 25... It's clear why Tories and Labour don't want PR or any other kind of system: look at the landslides Farage won in 2014 and 2019 using PR. Personally I think under a PR General election, if a strong Nationalist candidate got on the ticket whether they are left or right (such as Jeremy Corbyn or Nigel Farage), they would siphon dozens if not hundreds of seats from the two main parties. Whereas under FPTP there is no such risk.

There was talk from some of the fringe parties of Establishing a "Citizens Assembly". This would involve UK citizens on the Electoral Register getting "called up" for a fixed term of paid service (like Jury Duty) to for opinions and vetting of certain legistation and white papers. Its not a perfect solution but it would go some distance in actually restoring a bit of faith in politics by gauging the working class public opinion on large issues, such as HS2, Free School Meals and basic food prices in general, Net Zero and moderation of fuel prices, the NHS etc. At the moment we have a front bench making decisions of whom are all likely in the top 0.1% of wealth of this country, and are painfully out of touch with the working average Man/Woman.

The article doesn't actually say what the betting offences are. If he simply had an online account and was betting small amounts on other football matches, the ban shouldn't be that lengthy. Lafferty, Chopra, Trippier are names that all come to mind for similar offences. However, if he was "spot-fixing" and it can be proven he was betting on himself / others for significant amounts of money, where he had knowledge of pre-anticipated scenarios (i.e. Yellow Cards, match fixing etc.), then yes, he will be exiled from football for a long time if the evidence is strong enough. The problem is if the Bookies offer those stupid markets, (such as the exact minute of when a throw in will be awarded, a specific player to get booked, specific player to make a certain amount of tackles) eventually third parties are going to try and start defrauding them, especially in the lower leagues... 🤷‍♂️ What about when Paddy Power offered that "Player to eat a pie on the sideline" market years ago, and the Sutton United goalie actually did it? The player was subsequently banned, and i'm pretty sure Paddy Power refused to pay out any of those bets as winners. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41181979
