  1. [quote user="SeattleCanary"][quote user="RUDOLPH HUCKER"]Downgraded by the self appointed bully boy, ooh!ouch! Why should I care about your opinion? You have been proven wrong comprehensively.[/quote]  All the outers were right [/quote]   Based on....?    
  2. [quote user="morty"][quote user="RUDOLPH HUCKER"]No, I don''t need people to agree with me. It was an open question. Don''t be afraid of it, express your disagreement, try not to be abusive or personal and back your points up with reasons.[/quote]I have already told you why I disagree.And I still think you''re a cock[Y][/quote] Seconded.
  3. So...CJF Do something earlier or don''t do anything. Get rid of the manager but don''t replace him with this guy (I thought the previous manager was the problem?) Then this guy picks new players, you now want the ones that the last guy who wasn''t good enough was picking, including the captain that isn''t fit to be captain. Apart from the striker, because the last bloke picked him sometimes but we''d rather he picked the guy who he also picked sometimes. So to summarise. The reason for our predicament was Chris Hughton. We sack him and appoint Adams who has tried to shake things up a bit. Now that he has played 3 and lost 3, we''ve now decided that CH was picking the right players all along - Tettey, Bassong etc God this is confusing. So who''s to blame again? DELIA I reckon.
  4. [quote user="RUDOLPH HUCKER"]I gave up my season ticket this season mainly because of what I listed. Interesting that some of the immediate responders have spend most of this season lecturing dissenters, procrastinating on the fence and showing the kind of qualities and complacency described. Perhaps this hits a nerve with them. How dare I criticise better supporters than me?[/quote] So will Arsenal be your 38th "boycott" of the season then? If you don''t want to go, fair enough but what gives you the right to sit there and encourage others not to go? Got a relative that''s a gooner and desperate for a couple of tickets or something? I''ll send you a half&half scarf if you like - perhaps you could laminate it so it feels like plastic...;-)
  5. [quote user="morty"]What an odd concept.I have paid for the game, and I''ll be there.You appear to be confused as to what constitutes "support"[/quote] He also hasn''t said if he''ll be there has he? If not, when did he start boycotting?
  6. Ugh, just glad to be there.....little ol'' Norwich....
  7. At least the outgoing coaching staff didn''t nick the iPad...the technology spent most of the game closer to the technical area than the staff sat on that wall.
  8. [quote user="nutty nigel"]Of course it''s just as possible that we could have got less points if we made a change earlier. Who would have scored the goals to get us more? [/quote] This is, of course, as "true" as saying that we could/would have had more points - it''s conjecture. What can''t be argued is that we couldn''t possibly have less points than we have now had we left Hughton in charge. The imponderable is that the goal difference could have been better or worse but as far as points are concerned, the change is backfiring so far, that seems a little unfair given the opposition but once Adams couldn''t muster a goal from us at Fulham, the writing was on the wall. The reaction to the WBA defeat left no choice but we might, as fans, have been as well to wait until after the Arsenal game to throw our clappers at Hughton. That of course remains to be seen. Survival is still possible, even if highly improbable.
  9. Fairly early at 0-0. Snodgrass goes on the outside, crosses with his right, Wolf nudges the defender (Vidic?), whistle goes, header goes back across goal, keeper drops it and Howson knocks it in. Not a lot in the foul, but it was a foul. There are probably countless examples of more significant fouling going unpunished though.
  10. It;s clear that we were being held back by one man''s negativity. It poisoned the club so much that even the coach of the youth team was contaminated. We''ve finally taken the handbrake off but it looks like we were parked at the top of a very steep hill. Or maybe the last bloke was doing as well as could be expected? Can''t be that, must be that Neil has been poisoned by Hapless too...;-)
  11. I can''t understand how these players, the same ones that should be at least midtable prior to exit Hughton are now so bad. What on earth has Adams done to them? "It''s like playing with the handbrake on.."
  12. [quote user="nutty nigel"]Was it made backwards? [;)][:$] [/quote] You shouldn''t really talk about making backward things, remind us why your son is banned from posting on this BB?
  13. I don''t know who this Wendy is or if there really is a silent order but it sounds like Bury Yelllow would like Delia to adopt its practices in the boardroom at least. But would that be wise..... McNally: What are we going to do about this managerial situation? The fans are throwing folded paper onto the pitch. MWJ: It''s time for a change, I''ve wanted Houghton out ever since I saw that Capital Canaries chap at an unrelated event, ask him.... McNally: Delia? Delia: McNally: Delia? Any suggestions? Delia: McNally: That''s that decided for another week then folks, Delia still isn''t willing to put anyone forward, clearly a sign she still backs Houghton. MWJ: She''s the boss. Bowkett: (Under his breath) Not when we were in League One she wasn''t.... McNally: I''ll order some more clappers.... See how Houghton lasted so long? Perhaps Bury Yellow is right, but how do you solve a problem like Delia?
  14. Seems a reasonable enough prediction, let''s just hope he''s wrong.    
  15. [quote user="crabbycanary"]Bit of a limited shelf life, that one, but cannot fault your enthusiasm to get an original song on the go. On a similar note, we do not seem to have the range of different songs that, say the Scousers or Mancs seem to have, and it would be great if someone with a more creative song writing brain than mine, could come up with 2 or 3 original Norwich songs.[/quote]   I think that the problem is that there is a bit of a crew in Barclay D block that have come up with a few songs that they try to get going but they mostly sound like adaptations of the Last of The Summer Wine theme tune and are just dull dirges that a) For that reason will never catch on and b) Hardly get the place "bouncing".   However, at least they try.    
  16. [quote user="Hairy Canary"]The diamond was clearly a mistake as you say Zipper. Matching Liverpool''s formation and trying to go head to head with them was naive IMO. I was just trying to counter Paul Ferry''s point that Adams had no plan B, which he clearly did. As to your point on substitutions Paul, no I don''t agree. We ended up with Murphey, Redmond, Snodgrass and a forward pushing Howson at the games end. There is no way on earth that Hughton would have gone for broke like that and I think the crown understood that we gave it our best shot.[/quote]   Looks like you''re a perfect exponent Hairy.   Interesting how interpretations are positive now.
  17. [quote user="Branston Pickle"]...perhaps it might have even better to start in a way that didn''t stand off them and gift them a 2-0 lead in the first place?[/quote] Indeed, the crowd are strangely tolerant of such things now.
  18. Congratulations on spectacularly missing the point.... The reference to "Plan B" was an inference to what the response from the support would have been had Hughton not made a substitution until 70mins+ when we were losing. Or do you disagree?
  19. Nothing has changed since Hughton got the bullet yet the crowd are jubilantly accepting being 2-0 down in ten minutes now, simply because Adams isn''t Hughton. 2-0 down in 10 minutes, no subs until after 70+ minutes (WHERE IS THE PLAN B?), like-for-like changes when they are made, our most creative player nowhere to be seen, redmond on the left/snodgrass on the right, standing off and allowing shots from distance, midfielders not tracking runners.....the boo-boys are now happy-clapping to an unprecedented level..... As for Mackay, much loved if somewhat overrated club hero as a player, wouldn''t be a particularly inspirational appointment but he still isn''t Hughton, that''s clearly a plus.
  20. You seem completely pre-occupied with the opposition, why don''t you simply pick a team to play to our strengths rather than shackling them with this negative, defensive rubbish. Set them free.
  21. .....and we''re still not in the bottom 3.....
  22. [quote user="Norwich or die tryin"]We will never truely move forward under Delia and MWJ but to many Norwich fans are too scared of change and stuck in their ways too force the real change that''s needed.[/quote] How would you suggest proceeding? Demonstration?
