Ronseal moment here... Voo, Arrr, Voo, Arr I wanna knooooow How to pronounce your name! (To the tune of hey baby by Dj orzi)

Hilariously, myself and my dad have not missed an away game in 4 years, and only missed a total of 8 in the last 6 years, I apparently have 1150?

Anyone find the On The Ball City print on the back of the shirts weird that it is on the inside of the shirt? Or have I got a faulty one?

Sums up what a childish family they all are down there! Just the noisy neighbours who we have now outgrow in class both on the pitch and off it!

Obviously now our ''more winnable'' games have now passed, but going into the last 4 games who here is optimistic? Looking at other teams run ins I would say we will need to get 4 points to guarantee survival! I don''t see us drawing 4 games but I could see us managing a win and a draw! Liverpool may be saying that there not under estimating us, but in what is a very emotional week for them as a club and knowing that there on the winning streak they are on (they all have to end sometime) alongside with hendersons suspension and strurridge reportedly ''out for the next couple of games'' I can see us snatching something next week! The teams passion was there yesterday, we just need a bit of luck! Man United I unfortunately don''t see us getting anything from as moyes will be fighting for his job! Chelsea could under estimate us, they will be coming into the game against us off the back of a second leg tie against athletico Madrid, and if they win that tie, we all know which trophy has mourinihos eye. That combined with the poor run of form they are on! Arsenal game is our best chance of 3 points due to there poor form and a FA cup final the week after for them but we can only hope that arsenal have 4th place wrapped up by then! Combining all the reasons above with the upcoming World Cup that of course no player will want to miss through injury and Swansea and West Brom aren''t out if it, there is a reason to believe! There is hope! We need to remain behind Neil Adams and the lads!

I don''t know if this has been mentioned before but having a look up until now against direct comparisons from Last Year''s results (LY) we are in fact one point better off, this is of course swapping the promoted clubs for the clubs relegated from last season. I have listed beneath to show how I have worked it out. With a few slight predictions futher down!!   Everton Home - 2-2 D - Last Year 2-1W Hull (Replacing them with Wigan) Away - 1-0 L - LY - 1-0 L  Southampton Home - 1-0 W - LY 0-0D Spurs Away - 2-0L - LY - 1-1D Villa Home - 1-0L LY- 2-1L Stoke Away - 1-0 W - LY - 1-0L Chelsea Home 3-1 L - LY - 1-0L Arsenal Away - 4-1L - LY - 3-1L Cardiff Home (Replacing QPR) - 0-0D - LY - 1-1D Man City Away - 7-0L - LY 3-2W Wet Spam Home - 3-1W - LY- 0-0D Newcastle Away - 2-1L - LY - 1-0 Crystal Palarse Home (Replacing Reading) - 1-0W -  LY 2-1W     Now as we got some fantastic results at Home against the likes of the Big 6, it seems unlikely (but still within realms of possibilty) that this is to be repeated, thus making the ''Easier'' Home (never under estimating opposition) games more essential for us to Win and pick up points anywhere we can on our travels. Being a commited away season ticket holder I know the pain of this unadventerous football (wouldnt say negative) we are playing, especially away from home! But i will remain behind Hughton until his tenure is over despite not being his biggest fan. Hopefully things will start to gel and we will kick on in terms of performances at home and away. These few weeks over the Xmas period could be key!!   Obviously looking at the next few games starting with Liverpool through to Everton - On direct comparison we picked up 8 points from these games!   Liverpool Away 5-0L  - Wouldnt say I was confident! 3-1L West Brom Away - 2-1L - Think depending on how we play will either be a Win (Impossible it may be!) or a draw  Heart 2-1W Head 1-1D Swansea Home - 2-2D - I think we will win this one 2-1W Sunderland Away -1-1D Again depending on if we turn up a Winable game!! 1-0W Fulham Home - 0-0D Possible deemed as the ''Easiest'' game out of the lot, but a new change of manager may switch this. 2-1W Man Utd Home - 1-0W - Gunna say 2-0L Palarse Away (Reading) - 0-0D - Winnable but head says 2-2D Everton Away - 1-1D - Everton looking good but will Martinez have his 2nd half of the season wobble like he used to have with Wigan? 1-0L   A very optimistic Prediction i know, with us gaining 11 or 13 points depending on West Brom game (cant make my mind up)!   Alot of this I know is pointing out the obvious but thought Id have my say as its been on my mind for last few games!

[quote user="nu_matik"]McNally out, Hughton OUT, EVERYONE OUT!!!!!!!!!![/quote] Indeed!!! How dare Hughton only draw Premier League games!! Wiz for manager as he seems to know how its all done!! ;)

I understand the season ticket holders arguement, I myself have been born and bred in Cheltenham, however due to my fathers roots support Norwich, instead of a ''Bigger Team'' like the majority down here. I have been a regular attendee of away games due my location and the fact im only 19. Working nights now makes a home game impossible unless I book holiday for it. However I still have attended every away game this season after finishing a night shift at 7am and going straight to the game and 90% of them last year(only missing out due to ballots). Now does not being local and not going to home games make me any less of a fan to my beloved Norwich City than say my uncle whos had a season ticket for 10+ years ?

[quote user="PeekyNCFC9"] Heres a thought, I wonder how many 0-0 draws we had under Lambert in his entire reign at CR.I have a strong thought it will be only bout 5/6 in 3 years. Anyone know? [/quote] Just had a look over the last 3 years and the answer is 4 Walsall 0-0 at home 2009/2010 QPR 0-0 away 2010/2011 Crystal Palace 0-0 away 2010/2011 Chelsea 0-0 at Home 2011/2012

[quote user="PurpleCanary"][quote user="PeekyNCFC9"] Our old coach Paul Stephenson. I work in a hotel in Cheltenham. Back on his way from seeing Accringting Stanley (who he now manages) lose to Exeter, he stopped in for nights stay as hes assesing Chelenham tomorrow. We was discussing football when I relised that I recognized the name Stephenson. He told me he once a coach with Norwich under the Glen Rodent and Lee Clark days. With a friendly bit of banter I said to him ouch, not good times then which he laughed off and reminded me they saved us when 9 points adrift. I said so what happened then, as we just started to plumit. His reply was that the Turners pulled out with pre season taking the £4million that they had promised to give the club for the allocated budget. I said about the loan signings to which he said bids had been made for players but due to the pull out by the Turners the clubs budget was £4 million down. Therefore the loan signings was all we could afford. I said well fair enough, and thinking about it really explains Gunns appointment. He commented on what a fantastic manager Mr Hughton is and what a very nice person he is aswell. When I laughed about Doomcaster all I got was a dry smile. He said he happy to see the club doing well again as its a fantastic set up. Seemed an absolutely lovely bloke, with no bitterness towards the club whatso ever. A real gent. [/quote] I doubt that £4m figure. I think Stephenson is getting confused. The Turners had put in £2.5m, and had promised another £1.5m. When they quit in September 2008 they scrapped the idea of the extra £1.5m. They couldn''t demand the £2.5m back, because of the conditions attached to the loan. They had to wait until we got to the Premier League. But not having the £1.5m did leave a massive hole in our finances. So Stephenson is right in general but wrong in specifics. [/quote] Well that may be the case, however I see how he has no reason to lie. Wouldnt suprise me if it was £4million as we were trying our hardest to get promoted that year, in Rodents words. However, we all know what happened after ;)

[quote user="singupcarrowroad"]Interesting stuff, but I can assure you that Paul Stephenson is not the manager of Accrington Stanley.[/quote] Sorry, been a long night. I meant coaches
