    Absolutely, there’s no malice and had that been Gunn we’d not expect anything retrospectively. Just utter bad luck.

    Hmm. From some angles it looks like he shoves Josh in the back, causing him to fall badly and sustain the injury. More than bad luck in my book.

    Game of perspectives I guess. As I look at it, the keeper had almost no chance of actually challenging for the ball and was rather trying to knock Sargent off balance in the hopes he'd miss.

    I for one was quite surprised, especially with the firmer hand referees have had with cards this year.

    The keeper was making no attempt on the ball - it was already past him - he was purely pushing Josh in frustration - should have been a yellow at least.

    There are some windows now that are slightly different. Its designed to hype up and boost the price of players. I think you should have your squad for the first game of the season and that's it. Those are your players for the year.

    Agreed. Che Adams is said to be off to Everton - well if he'd been gone by the start of the season he wouldn't have been there to score against us at Southampton.

    Honest appraisal by this chap, he quite rates us. 
     

     

    "Frankie and Zac were in the toilet, and I had the pleasure of watching him curl one into the top right-hand corner." I think there's a word for that and it involves glass toilets.

    Apparently the media is full of quotes about Aussie fans calling us rough and more like rugby players. Nine fouls by us, one by them. That was the Aussie TV putting those stas up. They never one put up anything about us but did about Kerr and her goal attempts.

    And where has the real Aussie gone? I thought they were the epitome of rough, tough, no nonsense fair dinkum machos. Even David Warner has chipped in. He said England would want to change the ball. The same Warner that cried after being involved in ball tampering.

    Just love it when a plan comes together. Sacrificing the Netball to win the Football.

    Wasn't that more about the Aussies getting a freekick every time one of them fell over, whereas our players had to be cut in half with a Samurai Sword to get one?

    Very early days, but I've been very pleasantly surprised by what I've seen so far. I was expecting a dreary season of attritional football with midtable at best. I certainly didn't dream of six goals in two games and more entertainment in those two games than the whole of last season. Plus, as everyone is saying, the spirit in the team feels so much better. Let's just hope it's not a false dawn.

    EDIT: My biggest worry is how dependent we seem on Sara to glue this team together going forward. We've definitely been much better in attack since he came back from his operation.

    Surely it was the same with Buendia, and we talked about enjoying him while he was with us, rather than worrying too much about how dependent we were on him... or maybe time has eroded my memory.

    I expect you explain quite a bit to your missus. No doubt she is now up on the Duckworth-Lewis method as well.

    Isn't that the "Karma Sutra for Cricketers"? I never did get the hang of only polishing one side of my balls, and I felt intimidated by all the references to my "Short Third Man", and "No balls".

    I thought some of our challenges on Saturday were at the "robust" end of the scale, and if Ward-Prowse has seen them he'll be nowhere near their game with us - if he has any sense.

    BTW it was good to see us in Norman Hunter mode - Trevor would have been impressed.

    He is determined to make himself look silly - there is no way that he could tell if the ball was out over the line or not from where he was - the assistant couldn't from a few yards away (but should have been closer - maybe a fitness issue?).

    I would have more sympathy if he said that the player who deflected the ball to Idah had just got back up after being hauled to the ground by one of our players (Andy?), and so they should have had a freekick. But he didn't say that.

    Pah - Pukki can’t even be bothered to come back for the unveiling (that’s sarcasm/a joke btw).

    I like it, but these things are always far too weighted to the recent past - was there no one at NCFC prior to the late 1980s-2000s? 

    To be fair, on the original mural Phil Boyer was depicted standing next to Paul McVeigh, but their faces were lost behind the CARROW ROAD lettering, so were painted out.

    Can I be reported for a bit of casual Norfolk Heightism?

    It's probably not allowed but bit by bit I'm starting to feel optimistic about next season. I know it's not like stags rutting but this always happens at this time of year and I just can’t help surrendering to this primaeval urge. I would seek help, but I can’t get an appointment before the January window and fear that may be too late. Any suggestions chaps?

    There's a youtube video called NCFC highlights 21/22 and 22/23. It's only 40 seconds long, so it's not a long watch. I suggest 8 minutes watching that on repeat and you'll soon get over any optimism.
