[quote user="I.S."]Wiz just craves attention - he has no real opinion on things. Best just to ignore him and hope he leaves in a strop "for good" (again).[/quote]   Regardless of what I''d do..........the results still wouldn''t improve under Hughton........you''re all still lashing out at the messenger.

[quote user="morty"]You''re an embarrassment. [/quote]   No, you ''little old Norwich'' happy clappers are.

[quote user="killiecanary"][quote user="Wiz"]Hoolahanhahaha...........get rid asap.[/quote] Constructive as ever Wiz? He was great today. I can''t imagine any Norwich fan would dispute that???? So the point you are trying to make would be what exactly?[/quote]   He always overplays things Mark, and mostly he wil lose the ball in dangerous areas, take the blinkers off mate.

Make that a double please Malky.[Y][Y]

Hoolahanhahaha...........get rid asap.

[quote user="Highland Canary"]Yet another missed opportunity. The fact that at 0-1, once again, the management team was unwilling to change tactics with a view to trying to get a result speaks volumes. What is so frustrating is that all the management team''s failings were so obvious last season. And for the board to persist this season with the management team when we were so obviously going backwards is mystifying. With a much more difficult programme of matches now in play we shall all live to rue such missed opportunities.[/quote]   Huzzah of the day![Y]

Hull cheated .............they have a manager.

[quote user="ricardo"][quote user="Wiz"] [quote user="ricardo"]My son bought me a very thought provoking book for Christmas, called "The Numbers Game" (why everything you know about football is wrong). Apparently  a result in a football match is determined more by luck than in any other comparable field sport. I found it difficult to believe but the statistics are compelling and after today''s game I think I have been converted to this idea. CH decided to change things for the visit of United and it was the return of Wes in a 451 formation. Russell Martin returned at right back and Bennett came in for the suspended Turner. For the first fifteen minutes I was beginning to wonder when we would get out of our own half as United pinged the ball about but without looking like getting into a shooting position. Meanwhile City could barely put more than two passes together before losing possession. Then on the quarter hour mark it all changed and suddenly in a sweet move of a dozen passes Snoddy slipped Martin through on the right of the box only for the keeper to parry his effort across goal. Wes was arriving at a speed of knots but just couldn''t get close enough to turn it into the net. From the corner Fer  got up for the ball but it was scrambled away for another corner and eventually a drive from Snoddy was high and wide. It was amazing how the game had changed as it was all City now with the United attack rarely sighted at our end of the field. Somehow De Gea parried Hoopers eight yard effort as the City striker swiveled brilliantly in the box. Bassong was making a nuisance of himself as City upped the corner count butdespite the United defence being at full stretch nothing seemed to fall City''s way in the vital area''s. City were playing some nice stuff now and even Johno was joining in with some searching passes that kept us on the front foot. A goal looked to be imminent at any time and when Redmond''s pace took him clear down the left the ball fell nicely for Wes who weaved his through the United defence only to see his shot deflected. From where I sat I was praying for a pass to the unmarked Hooper but you couldn''t blame the little man for taking it on. In truth he was at his mercurial best and was like a little clockwork mouse all afternoon. There was a big cheer on 37 minutes as Evan''s blazed a long shot high and wide, I think it was only United''s second shot of the entire half. At the break I thought we could count ourselves unlucky not to be in front as we had played some of the best football that I had seen all season. The only worry was that we hadn''t nailed it when we were in the ascendancy and that failure often has a way of coming back to bite. Unsurprisingly the ineffective Giggs was replaced by Wellbeck for the second period and United certainly looked better for it. Redmond hit one a couple of yards wide while Ashley Young shot narrowly over as play resumed. It looked like it would finally open up for City when in a flowing move Wes slipped Redmond in on the left but the wingers powerful shot was only just wide of the far post. The game looked like it would be won or lost by one mistake or one piece of bad fortune and on 57 minutes it was. Bennett''s clearance bounced off a United player and fell perfectly for Wellbeck and the England striker made no mistake with a low shot past John Ruddy. It was sickening and totally undeserved but such is football, you don''t always get what you deserve. From here on in United kept a tight rein on the game and City were never able to fashion anything on a par with the first half chances. RVW came on for Hooper in a like for like change. Some in the crowd didn''t like it but sacrficing the midfield and going long would have played into United''s hands and IMO it was the right change. Then Murphy came on for the tiring Snoddy but United were happy to hold what they had and although never looking like scoring again they just squeezed the life out of the game by taking the ball into the corner at every opportunity. So a disappointing end to game that had promised so much at halftime. We played some good stuff and despite what the moaners think I just do not see a relegation side in front of me on this evidence. MOM has to be Wes just ahead of Leroy Fer but they all had decent games today, the only thing missing was a rub of the green. One other thing I will say is that those who booed at the end deserve to have their ar$es kicked. [/quote]   Why, because they didn''t fit in with your cosy report?   We were rank in the 2nd half. [/quote] I''ve got an old pair of socks that know more about football than you do. [/quote]   After reading the totally biased, happy clappy cr*p you write I somehow doubt that.

Ricky Van Floppy.......you mugs/hughton and mcnally.

[quote user="Sussexyellow"]The board will stick with Hughton. Time is short to make a change and a planned impact on the transfer market. It would mean the board would need to already have somebody lined up. That in my view is unlikely. We will be in a relegation struggle under Hughton, we may even succumb, but he may also just be our best chance of avoiding the drop.[/quote]   Then they are just as accountable too.[:@]

[quote user="Waveney canary"]We have massively down graded replacing holt with the wolf and as a result the team is suffering. Another blunder by hughton[/quote]   Huzzah!

This will return when Palace beat us Wednesday.

[quote user="YellowNets1901"]I''m pretty sure whatever happens results wise this season, Chris Hughton will not be sacked. If this is the case, why don''t we bring Neil Adams in as part of Hughton''s first team coaching staff. Our wingers can''t cross, our strikers (Hooper aside) struggle to score. Neil Adams knew how to cross a ball and strike a ball. Get him in there to see what he can offer. Surely he''s better than what we have there at the moment.[/quote]   We WILL be relegated then.

Sinking in yet is it?[:|]

[quote user="Samwam27"]Most people on here are always negative. 1-0 is very respectable against the Champions and a team on a very good run. Stats suggest we have out shot Man U today. Just need some consistency against C Palace [/quote]Err.......minus Rooney and VPt!

Theres a lot of Hughton lovers worried atm.[:D]

0-5,6, or 7!

[quote user="Le Juge"]Wiz do yourself a favour and fffffffffffffffuuccckkk off. If Malky was here in the summer we''d have spent £8m on Andreas fuuckkinnng Cornelius and Gary Hooper would be playing for turkey neck at QPR.[/quote]    fffffffffffffffuuccckkk off yourself flower.

[quote user="Mervmeister"]Villa have 2nd worst goal scoring home record in whole of England. Great attacking manage he is lol.[/quote]   Show some respect for his City tenue please.

[quote user="Mister Chops"]Anyone who thinks Hughton plays "dull soulless and negative" football should check out some of the Cardiff highlights. But Malky''s a good old Anglo-Saxon lad, I guess. [/quote]   Oh Perpleeeease.   Change the ruddy record.[|-)]

 Credit for what? he''s a bloody liability![:S]
