Canary Jedi

I know you’re all on the edge of your seats waiting for the next instalment of this exciting story! So, my dad returned to the Carrow Road shop today and gave this update: ”Norfolk Saga. So I go in to collect the football top at the Canary Shop, suddenly they have a A for Barnes after telling me it will be a 3 to 4 week wait. Fine says I , Ahh they say we don't have any 0s for the 20, a 3 to 4 week wait , shall I just put a 2 on the shirt ! No says I just proceed with the Barnes , ok we can add the 20 later they say !! I reckon if I return to the shop on Thursday, they will be able to put the 20 onto the shirt top !!” So As are back but 0s have gone AWOL! Crikey how hard can it be to print bloomin’ names and numbers?

It’s a good question! The answer is, his nephew’s surname is Barnes!

This message from my 83 year old dad who went into the club shop at Carrow Road today especially to buy a shirt for his nephew with “Barnes” on the back. Simple request right? WRONG! Ok here goes , called into carrow road , realised I needed my season ticket for discount , but don't worry I can get that later , so I showed the assistant the image of the home shirt with Barnes, there was silence , and she said we don't have any A's something that affects all EFL clubs, and then mumbled something about the machine not working, so ok , when will it all be fixed , she said 3 to 4 weeks ! I said days ? No weeks ! I remember this happened last year , so what's it about ? So I have not purchased the shirt as yet although I could have barnes added later !!

Alcohol poisoning

Ah dammit, yes you’re right! ☺️

You just sparked one of my favourite (old) footy jokes, after John Terry was having a alleged fling with Gareth Barry’s wife. The then England manager phoned Gareth and said: “Absolute disgrace what John has done. I want you to know he’s lost the captains arm band!” ”Quite right too” says Barry. ”Anyway” continues Roy, “I’m wondering … would you mind having a look under your bed for the armband please?” 🤣

What the heck is a fairy festival? Sounds a bit LGBTQ 😂

Footballers going to night clubs is one thing, but with their wages a taxi or even a private chauffeur should not be an issue. I wonder if the club will wait for the outcome of the charge to terminate his contract for bringing the club into disripute.

You’re not very ambitious, hope you’re not Antanasio! True, money doesn’t guarantee success, but it can prevent mediocrity. As stated in my follow up post, silly wage offers we cannot compete with, but that doesn’t mean we should let our crown jewels go without a fight

I’m not expecting them to to flout the FFP rules, but if the players I mentioned know that the investors are ambitious and will back the new manager then maybe they’ll stay another season. Obviously, silly wage offers from premier league clubs will scupper this…

I hope our American investors step up and help mitigate the need to cash in on Sara, Sainz, Sargent and Rowe and ensure Gunn and our POTS remain. This is the core of a team which under the right coach can achieve automatic promotion next season. This summer will show the level of ambition. If the investors allow our Crown Jewels to be sold then it will make it very tough to achieve promotion and we will know our club’s ambition level is low Time for the investors to step up - first to protect our assets, second to inspire a good coach to join us.

Hmm I tried this but the attachments page shows I’m still maxed out. I think even if you delete from the posts they are still stored as attachments.

Hooper would have disallowed it…

In the end I found a bar earlier in the afternoon that assured me they would show the game. They did that and even reserved me a table, amazing craft beer place with a huge choice. Perfect in every way apart from the game itself 😬 As an aside, totally recommend Budapest, such a lovely city to explore for a couple of days. Very clean, safe and a very interesting history. The Hungarian food is very nice, but by their own admission, not good if you are vege or health conscious! Transport is brilliant - metro and tram system plus the very efficient ‘Bolt’ (like Uber).

Any recommendations for a good bar to watch the match please? I’m staying in central Pest. @Budapest Canary
