thas a rummun

Apart from Chelsea & Wolves (when I was away), I've tried for and purchased a ticket for every home match this season. Went online at 9am this morning, joined a 20 minute queue, got on the ticket page at 9:22am, had plenty of choice of seats in several parts of the ground, and got my ticket for Liverpool. What I have found is even when a game is sold out, if you regularly check the online ticketing page, seats are always popping up throughout the week with buy backs being put on sale etc. It might be more difficult when one of the big boys come to Carrow Road, but I often randomly check in the lead up to games and have seen seats available for the majority of the fixtures after previously being 'sold out'.

I had a look online at the ticket page at 10:05am this morning and there were still a handful of seats in the South Stand available and also in the Wensum Corner. Possibly seats people had put in their basket but subsequently cancelled resulting in them becoming available again? I suppose the lesson is even though it might say 'Sold Out', just keep your eye on it for a bit longer as a couple more could pop up!

The moment in the first half when he did so well to battle his way past the Fulham defender and drive forward into a promising position with the ball, only to completely miss an unmarked Maddison screaming for it over to his right and instead waste it, summed up Murphy perfectly in the space of five seconds. There''s talent in there but it''s so frustrating to watch when that sort of thing happens. Maddison more or less would have had a free shot on goal from the edge of box (or just inside), and was such a good opportunity to grab the goal and the lead.

Delia will be out there with her boots on before Edwards is judged to be ready for an appearance.

Sounded from the report that Tettey would also be sitting this one out due to his knees. God knows who will play in there with Vrancic tomorrow. Maybe they''ll risk Reed if his illness isn''t too bad by tomorrow evening.

If you don''t mind a 10-15 minute walk there are a couple of good ones on Magdalen Street. Ali Tandoori and Nazma.

[quote user="BroadstairsR"]Did anybody notice the gate against Burton? UNDER 14, 000. The debts pile up ... extinction is coming. They could win for once and I continue to consider that they have a better strike force so anything could happen as DF doesn''t do goals anymore.[/quote] To be fair, I think if any team had spent about a million years stuck in mid-table of the same division, the attendance would drop drastically!

[quote user="Legend Iwan"]And my main worrying for next season is us finding a suitable replacement for Gunn, who has been sensational.[/quote] Obviously I hope Gunn stays because he''s amazing and is one of the best English keepers about already, but if we are unable to keep him I genuinely believe Remi Matthews is good enough to be our regular keeper. From what I''ve seen of him in Plymouth highlights he''s been sensational.

No idea why Maddison isn''t taking our pens. Best striker of a football in our side.

[quote user="SwindonCanary"]Maddison is also up for goal of the month http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/norwich-city/11241200/championship-gotm-january[/quote] Get voting on that, everyone! Maddision currently only 1% ahead of the Ipswich goal!

[quote user="Clint"]The biggest issue here is that Watkins is getting on the bench ahead of an allegedly fully fit Wes?[/quote] That could be something to do with making sure we have our quota of ''homegrown'' players in the matchday squad, which Wes doesn''t count towards. I think we were bang on the minimum number for the Boro game.

I''d stick with Josh for Villa. He hasn''t been anywhere near his best recently, and I think he normally looks most impressive when coming off the bench, but away from home when we might be able to hurt Villa on the break, Josh can be a real threat in that sort of situation.

Delighted about that. I had wondered whether Forbes had just lost his list of all the new stand names, but it seems it is now a thing of the past. I''d also hoped the goal music had gone as well when we scored our consolation against Sunderland, as nothing was played at that point (although how tin-pot would that have been, blasting out music after we make it 1-3 with 10 minutes to go), but it returned last night. Ah well, we can''t have everything I guess! And I know some people enjoy it.

Once we click into gear this season we''ll be handing out a few more of those 4 or 5 goal drubbings, I''m confident of that.

He definitely looks better defensively than going forward. I can''t imagine he''ll be bombing past the opposition right back too often and swinging in crosses. Fine in a back 4. Probably not going to suit a wing back role. I''m looking forward to Jamal and Toffolo getting fit again and adding some competition.

[quote user="STFU"]''It''s not the 90''s''? Sorry, exactly what the feck does that have to do with anything? We''ve been singing ''On the ball city'' since 1902; ''Just can''t get enough'' came out in the 80''s; ''Achy breaky heart'' was released in the 90''s; Does it really matter when the original song came out?[/quote] I suggest the OP quickly comes up with a replacement chant based on the workings of Justin Bieber, Little Mix or whoever else is taking over the charts of today.

[quote]Webber was actually there to try and persuade Branko Panic to come and be our defensive coach, as the replacement for Mark Noone.[/quote] This post hasn''t received enough appreciation haha. Class.

Anyone just hear the absolute garbage the panel on Sky''s Soccer Saturday just came out with about Norwich? Steve Cotterill: "I''m amazed they let Jonny Howson go. A good young English player". Erm, he wanted to leave. And he''s 29. Iain Dowie: "They let Ryan Bennett go. A good leader in the dressing room." Neil Mellor: "I''m surprised they went for Farke when there are some big name managers who would have wanted the job." What, the same big name managers who are sitting next to you on that panel today after failing elsewhere. The best one was Tony Cottee: "Norwich''s problem last season was scoring goals. They need to solve that problem. Cameron Jerome doesn''t always cut it and Oliveira is inconsistent." WE WERE JOINT TOP SCORERS IN THE DIVISION LAST SEASON! AND THIRD WORST DEFENCE! I''d rather they just ignored us and said nothing at all.

[quote user="Mike "]Lets not criticise before we''ve seen him? I''d also say it''s therefore a bit premature to say it''s a good move...[/quote] Every single signing we make this summer is potentially a good one or a bad one. What I fail to see the point of is worrying that we may have signed a dud due to the relegations this player has been involved in, when in todays climate buying a top-flight player from a major European league for around the 750k-1.5m is pretty much a risk-free purchase. If we make half a dozen signings like this, yes they may not all work out, but we give ourselves a great opportunity to head in a new direction without the crazy Wildschut-style expensive signings.

[quote user="lincoln canary"]Part of teams that finished bottom of the bundesliga twice out of the last three seasons. Another relegation specialist?[/quote] I heard Wes Hoolahan was also part of a team which was relegated twice in three seasons. It means nothing. Vrancic could have been the one shining light in those teams. Affordable, Farke will have seen plenty of him, and plays in a position where we may well lose the majority of last seasons squad members. Exactly the sort of signings we should be making during a squad overhaul.

This all brings back good memories of an amazing day out.

Very impressed with everything he''s had to say so far. Just can''t wait to get these final few games out of the way now and watch the overhaul commence! Genuinely excited about the prospect of next season at the moment, in terms of who''s going to be in the dugout and who we''ll be watching on the pitch. I just hope we don''t end up disappointed again, but get the feeling that the message has finally sunk in at the club and the right steps will be taken and drastic changes will be made over the next 3-4 months to prepare for the 17/18 campaign.

I''m struggling to find the enthusiasm to go on Saturday as well (and that was before tonight), and I''m sure many others will feel the same, but that''s only because I''m expecting to see the same bunch of failures taking to the pitch again. Top six is long gone, so we need to see something new. Even if it''s just Maddison and Godfrey getting a start, we need something to vaguely look forward to on Saturday.

I''d be intrigued to see how Pearson would get on here, with our squad and with Delia and co. Out of the names currently in the mix, he''s right up there for me. I want whoever becomes manager here to have a promotion under his belt, and Pearson ticks that box.

Christ. I''d rather have Alex Neil back.
