Crystal Canary

I don''t like people with squeaky voices. I don''t trust them. And for that reason, i''m out.

I really want to but i''m skint, init. The video the club posted earlier looks really cool too. I''ll have to free up some funds from somewhere.

Ah, the Pinkun 101: Saying something nice or positive about the club and/or owner = trolling. Being constantly and relentlessly negative about everything Norwich = A model fan!

Football is swimming in money so I doubt it''ll have any impact at all. The only people who''ll suffer are those without it.

Bleh. What a dull, uninspiring choice. What has he actually achieved as a manager? He came in to Swansea riding on the coattails of Laudrup, and changed their unique, tika-taka style of football to bog-standard lower team football which ultimately got him sacked. Again, started strong at Leeds before the end of season collapse. The guy''s dull and, sorry to say, a bit thick with about as much charisma as a dry roasted peanut. Surely there''s someone better?

Well at least it makes things fun! Seriously though, I think the Huddersfield game summed things up with this team. We can defend perfectly well until something goes against us, whether it''s conceding a goal or a bad decision, and then we immediately fold. Seems to me that it''s mostly psychological.

I''ll go with a team that''s proven to score bucket-loads against the top teams.. Ruddy Pinto Martin Klose Dijks Tettey Howson Jacob M Pritchard Hoolahan Oliveira This BS about needing a major clearout.. gimme a break! We have a great team who can clearly beat any opposition on their day. There''s obviously something wrong with their attitude and their tendency to capitulate when things don''t go their way. Get in a decent manager who can motivate and the same team will will the league next season.

Until we beat Ipswich. Then it''s Neil In!.. and then out.. and then in.. ad infinitum. How about we stop over-reacting to every bloody result and just see where we end up at the end of the season? He''s not going anywhere anyway so you''re just shouting in to an empty room.

Would it be unfair to suggest that perhaps some of the more negative views towards Ed Balls on this forum may be politically motivated?

Grew up in Gorleston. Most of my extended family supported Man Utd for some reason. Not sure why that''s such a common theme for those in Gorleston/GT Yarmouth. Glad I didn''t follow the trend!

[quote user="Buh"]Norfolk is awesome, it is genuinely one of the nicest places in the country to live but a certain type of foootballer clearly looks at this as a backwater But for a guy in this early twenties on 30k a week maybe "gorn up thu citee" isn''t enough It''s a sad fact[/quote] I don''t buy this view at all. London is an hour 50 on the train. I live in Crystal Palace and my commute every morning isn''t far off this! I agree that most kids would rather live in London, but surely Norwich is a darn sight closer to the capital than a lot of other clubs. Let''s face it, it''s all about the money. If we stumped up enough, I doubt living in Norfolk would be an issue at all.

two many misspelt too''s in 2 little, to late

They''re where they are most seasons.. knocking around the middle/bottom half of the table. There''s too much dross down there for them to go down, and Mick''s competent enough to keep their heads above water. I don''t even hate them anymore. I just see them as a bit pathetic, to be honest. I''d rather see Villa go down.

[quote user="STAN"]The neck line resembles a fat girls vagina.[/quote] *Angles head* ... Ok Does anyone know if the material is different for the ''player fit'' version, or is it just a tighter fit? Why not just buy a size smaller one and save the money?

Yep, the bird could definitely do with being adjusted a bit. But from what I can tell, it''s similar to the original badge used in the early 19 hundreds. I think they had a simple canary design on the breast. I don''t know where the design I posted came from. I just whipped it off google. Credit to the guy who designed it though.

I agree, it does look very americanised. But I kinda like that, tbh. It''s similar to the new Liverpool crest. Simpler and sleek.

I''m not a designer or shirt manufacturer, but I assume they might be able to change the date of the badge. Sorry if I''m throwing out crazy, radical ideas here. The current badge looks like a reject from the 80''s.

Really like it. Just wish they''d shrink the badge a bit. Why does it have to be so ridiculously large?? I think it''s about time we updated it anyway. This please... http://www.designfootball.com/design-galleries/football-crests/orig-new-norwich-city-crest-5985

Definitely Naismith over Hoolahan. He has superior ball control and I enjoy his handling of the opposition.

My prediction is based on the unpredictability of this season.. Man City home - 3 WBA away - 3 Newcastle home - 0 Crystal Palace away - 0 Sunderland home - 0 Watford home - 1 Arsenal away - 3 ManUtd home - 3 Everton away - 3 16 points and down.

I think there are several factors here. Yes, we''re now on our worst run of defeats since, what, 1946 or something ridiculous. And yet.. I still go in to games expecting us to get something. Obviously I also have the same fears and doubts of any other fan, but I still have some hope that we can start winning a few games. Yesterday was shite, yes, but Leicester and Chelsea were unlucky games for us, and really we should''ve got at least 2 points from them. For me anyway, it still feels different to our time under Hughton. Our performances are inconsistent, but not relentlessly dour as they were then. I don''t believe that Alex Neil has lost the dressing room. Again, there''s huge inconsistency with the players'' performances, but they still seem to be working as a team and with the focus that suggests they believe a win is possible. It''s just that every time we have a decent performance something painfully unlucky happens (ridiculous Costa offside goal) that knocks us back. Also, Alex still has credit with the board and fans for delivering us an instant promotion and memorable Wembley victory. We all knew it would be a big step up for him in the EPL, but if you go with the view that this is a learning experience for him, then you have to give him a certain amount of leeway. I think the board feel that if we truly want to establish ourselves as a long term top-flight side then we can''t keep chopping and changing our manager whenever things turn sour. They''re going to stick with him for the long haul, so I suggest we do too. Finally, about the board, if you truly want to highlight their inadequacies when it comes to relegation, you should also accept that they''ve delivered us multiple promotions in the last decade. And since when does having a rich owner equate to huge playing budgets? Ipswich have a rich owner. Villa have a rich owner, and they couldn''t care less. Ideally what you want is a rich owner that deeply loves the club. Well, we have a relatively poor owner that loves the club, and I''d choose that over the former any day.

You just described every article or opinion piece ever written! Twitter is no different to any other medium in that respect. The quality of the information is dependent upon the person writing it. What makes it slightly different to, say, a newspaper for example, is that it can accurately convey and reflect a wider feeling or view expressed at a specific moment in time by any number of people or groups. It''s a barometer of opinion, though of course sometimes those opinions won''t sit well with your own. Besides which, many journalists now use Twitter to link to their own articles or columns, and gives you a wider choice of the articles you''re willing to read. It''s also the preferred mouth piece of your own football club and, until a year or so ago, your chief exec. I can''t believe i''m spending time trying to argue with you about the merits of Twitter. It has, what, 300 million active users? But of course, they''re all stupid and boring and you''re very clever and interesting. Oranges

This isn''t a court of law, Mr Apple. You have no case to answer. But if you find new technology a little intimidating or hard to get your head around, there are plenty of step-by-step guides out there.

I never understand people who slag off Twitter. It''s fantastic, especially for football fans. I don''t know any other social networking site that allows you to follow your club and fans so closely. Match days are especially fun, and you get a real sense of the excitement and buzz from everyone involved with the club. To say Twitter''s dull suggests you don''t really follow the right people.

The vitriol is pretty simple really, and usually accompanies anyone who is any or all of the following: 1)Intelligent. 2)Self-deprecating (perceived as insincere) 3)Humble (see above) 4)Gay and married. Gays are ok as long as they''re easily identified and don''t try to be like straight people 5)Liberal/left wing. Online trolls are usually Tories. 6 and most important) SUCCESSFUL. Absolutely not acceptable! I don''t want to be reminded of my own shortcomings or lack of intelligence/ability/motivation
