    Thought Wisbech was part of Cambridgeshire? Either way its the bloody **** end of nowhere and a real pain to get both to and from

    Wisbech is just on the border in Cambridgeshire but it's close enough that I've included it in the Norfolk league similar to how the Welsh league has a team like TNS in their league.

    There's some others I've included like Leiston, Lowestoft, etc which are technically in Suffolk too but they seem like they could be included.

    Norfolk literally meant 'North Folk" and Suffolk 'South Folk", and 'North Anglian' is one I've seen used.

    I did have it as North Anglian initially but it didn't feel very Norfolk specific to me. 

    There's obviously a strong Viking influence in the name Norfolk which is quite interesting.

    The name "Norfolk" derives from terms which meant "the northern people". It is first mentioned in Anglo-Saxon wills dating from 1043 to 1045 and later as Norðfolc in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (the entry for 1075) and as Nordfolc in the Domesday Book.[1] It has also been speculated that the name derives from the words 'Norse' and 'Folk'. - Wikipedia

    I think we are really broke- will sell omo at cut price and take the Korean forward from forest in return. 

    I was excited about the Cannon rumours to be quite honest so this guy seems a bit underwhelming by comparison although a loan for a seasoned International striker with something to prove doesn't seem like a bad gamble.

    Just to confirm, I've accused him of nothing.

    I've relayed a comment that claims there is an ongoing sexual case against him.

    There isn't an ongoing sexual case against him.

    There was an anonymous allegation against him which he and his representatives have denied to be true outright.

    It's astonishing how quickly a narrative will form based on next to no information when the slightest bit of investigation will tell you if it's off base or not.

    I thought libel was meant to be a serious thing in the UK?

    This story reminds me that once upon a time Norwich tried to sign a Belgian named Ilombe Mboyo who was convicted of gang raping 14 year old.

    Seems like abuse scandals happen a lot more than fans realise and they're swept under the rug, as was highlighted by French journalist Romain Molina

    Arsenal, West Ham and Chelsea were trying to sign Elye Wahi only this summer who was kicked out of a youth academy for physically intimidating school friends to masturbate in front of him.

    Less excuses should be made who players who commit crimes of this nature.

    Not a law to themselves at all in this case. The female officer in question felt like she was under attack from a comment. Regardless of whether she's a lesbian, it's understandable that she'd have considered it to be abusive.  For a hate crime to be committed, it's only necessary for the target to perceive themselves to be a target, and a comment about someone's sexuality fits the bill. Had a member of the public been the complainant then the police would have been obliged to follow up.

    What does Craig Murray think about it?

    I'm genuinely astounded someone actually exists who can take the side of the police in this incident.

    How do they taste?

    would be interesting to see us  sign a south American striker , someone with a bit of flair upfront 

     

    I watched the River Plate vs Fluminese game the other day and was impressed by the River Plate striker Lucas Beltran. Hadn't heard of him before but looked like a ready made championship striker with great physical hold up play.

    Scored a nice goal but doesn't seem like he's the most prolific at this point in his career but the archetype of a good striker is there.
