  1. Munby and Roeder have both “moved upstairs”?
  2. That bloke off the Titanic would have been apt last night.
  3. I can’t see how it’s any sort of card. Red, yellow, valentines, Mothers Day or any other kind. So annoying as we looked in complete control. Although how the loss of Sainz leads to what follows makes my head explode.
  4. Would we? Never saw anything in it. Although the reaction of our players tells me that they perhaps suspected there was more to it. Sainz had also already been spoken to about a bit of afters too. However it’s viewed and from whichever side, it is VERY VERY soft and maybe reputation has cost him? 🤷🏻‍♂️
  5. Bit OT but a quiet nod to the Galway Roast stand. Nice one, Tom.
  6. Tbf, you’ve got loads of ******* clubs, it’s good none go to waste.
  7. Missed a trick not posting that in “red pen”
  8. Would be my assumption. So I’ll also pass, I think. 😉
  9. Is there a reason the Trust haven’t bought them?
  10. “Pulling off the goalie…” MATRON!!! I mean, you’re never going to go without a keeper for ten minutes are you? That’s a sub even beyond the Wagner substitute randomiser! (Smiley face)
  11. 1987 FA Cup. Keith Houchen and all that. The year Clive Allen scored 49 for Spurs I think?
  12. Bit by bit, slowly but surely, one by one the lights are being turned off at Carrow Road. Concerning.
  13. Surely it’s just lazy bullocks though, isn’t it? He was gash for us…
  14. Sutch. Pen. Cardiff. The sort of scuffage normally associated with kids shoes on the playground in first school.
  15. Some of the flags walked out of the Lion and Castle a couple of games ago. They are stored in the cupboard in the gents and some bright spark left the door wide open. Saw at least 2 of the huge ones depart with the security even holding the door open for one of the thieving scamps!
  16. I’m still waiting for that arrangement we had with Parma to come to fruition.
  17. Late one. Brighton vs PALACE - Away win. Norwich to lose 53-0, turns out SVH has two left feet but is right footed, Kenny to start in goal and Jonny Rowe to mysteriously be in the starting line up for Luton at Newcastle. 8/13 with SkyBet.
  18. This isn’t a serious thread so I shouldn’t credit it with a serious response…but… We largely saw the same thing with McNally; he came in, swept clean and we became more “hard nosed” (?), and, while it was effective, it was welcomed. Once it wasn’t going so well, he was pilloried. And I think there is an element, perhaps in reverse, with Webber. Farke, irrespective of your personal overview of his abilities, built a togetherness under Webber. Was there a perception that we then went soft? Probably. When Webber went a bit “hard nosed” he became the bad guy. Not that getting rowdy helped him but it’s a bit like we always want our cake and to heartily dine. Ultimately, Webber or McNally or anything inbetween - and we still don’t really know what Knapper is - it’s great while it is seen to be working but as soon as there’s a hint that it isn’t we want the other thing. I think the difference now is that we have a group of fans in their early twenties that have been relatively spoiled - historically in context - with a relative level of success for a club our size. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting more and sustained success but perhaps that context is missing. That said, things are changing, perhaps not at the rate some would choose, but ten years from now we’ll likely have seen the cycle go full circle again.
