Agree with sdldjl05. Would be interesting to see how Hucks, Earnie and Martin work in the same line up - potent strike force but a lot would rest on Ethuhu to play like he''s playing in the last month and Spillane offer protection otherwise could get overun but better quality opposition, which thankfully we will not be up against this Sunday. Can''t help thinking that with some of the youth coming through and bringing Lappin, Chadwick into squad with an on form Safri and Ethuhu we have the makings of a good midfield and strikeforce.  Defence, apart from Shacks needs a good going over in the summer as, as good as Dublin has been for us, we can''t rely on him next season if we are serious about vastly improving on this. OTBC 3-1 Earnie, Martin 2

Saw this on the skysports website - look who the scums last match was against apparently. Whoever is responsible should be knighted! http://skysports.planetfootball.com/club.asp?cpid=10&clid=40 OTBC

Im block P" row U - three of us all in yellow an green!

As I am very much a canary in exile I was wondering if anyone had a link to some latest pics of the ground with the new infill? Have not seen the ground (in the flesh) since the new stand was opened and as the camera''s are on this side never see it on tv!   Cheers

If Bellamy is going to be at Carrow Road come Feb 1st I think he will be played up front with Ashton with Huckerby coming in fom the left - as sticking Bellamy in midfield at NUFC is what started off the whole war of word with souness, he will only come here if a number of things are to his liking, one of which will be the position he plays, herein lies the problem, quality he is but a team player he ain''t. Personally I wouls love him here though.   Agree that we need a bit of steel in Midfield against Everton even though Graveson has departed. Draw definitely on the cards and if (a major if) bellars returned we would have a pacy attack with Ashton able to hold up the ball as well - possibly a win, ssshhh i didn''t say that. When is charlton back? Rate Drury but has to close down players much much quicker.

lol - that''s just cruel (but very funny),We have progressed since this email, we have progressed under Worthington, and we have progressed since Delia has been here. This season was always going to be tough but we are not relegated yet!OTBCKeep the (blind) faith!

Well my vote for the name of the new infill would go to......."Son of Snakepit" Hopefully the fans who sit their are vocal so we can spread the noise around the ground. OTBC

My team would be ---------------Green-------------Helveg----Charlton----Fleming----DruryBentley----Mulryne----Safri---Huckerby-----------Svensson---McKenzie--------Jonson to get a good run out in the second half, maybe even play him ahead of safri. Think we need to give Helveg a run of games for him to prove himself before January.

Shocking, absolutely shocking. Infact a bloody disgrace.

As well as our new found form a key to us staying up this season may be the number of clubs hitting the self distruct button. Looking at the clubs around and above us the inner turmoil at these clubs is a joke! Southampton - useless manager (his record is useless anyway) - fans on back, chairman not on same wavelength, must sack him but replace with hoddle?Blackburn. Change of manager - unproven at this level, team of underacheiving players, racism accusation against fans hanging overheads.West Brom. Fans on back of manager - poor results out the door - new manager, new tactics, same players wants 7 out in January, good start but rather them than us!Tottenham. six defeats in row. Manager out (weird circumstances) new man in. Naybet quoted as saying team is bad and in crisis. Portsmouth. Ego war. Manager and assistant out. Chairman to bring in own man - team inconsistent.Birmingham. Soon to lose to the mighty canaries. Backsliding. Racism situation causing rifts at the top. Big players are crap.If we keep our heads and energies focussed on the football at our club whilst others concentrate on politics we have a fair old chance of visiting Old trafford next year.

Sheffield Wednesday - the poor chap how the hell did he end up supporting them then!

Anyone noticing how much more often Norwich are getting mentioned on the TV - not just the football team but we had Barry Pinches in the snooker and today there was a young player (21) at Wimbledon called Richard Bloomfield from the FINE city. His dad was wearing the Norwich top from season 94-95 (I think). Any other sporting personalities from the Norfolk? We could russle up an olympic team for the independent state of Norfolk in a few years.

3-0 (Huckerby, Bentley and Francis) WBA at home, playing quality football whilst they have a competition to see who can hoof the ball the furthest. Sunny day, full crowd, top of the league and megson sacked. I wonder what odds I would get on that, only the sunny day is in doubt!

XXL16, They did play a big man forward in prohorenkovs (I think that was him) and he was very impressive too.

I think that it is more likely that Bentley will play on the right. Huckerby and Bentley can be interchangable. I think will will have to wait an see who Worthington looks to bring into the club as I am sure a right midfielder is on his list. I must admit that Stepanovs looked good in the first two games of euro2004 - but did not impress me in his time at arsenal to much. I think he has put himself well and truely in the shop window and doubt he will be leaving the premiership. I have a feeling that these performances are a bit of a one off.

As El Cid was heard to shout as he road out in to battle "if that henri camara signs for us we are shafted." I think we should listen to El Cid on this one.

I think this one is even beyond Worthington''s negociation ability (which is dam good). He cost Dynamo a couple of million when the rest of Europe knew very little about him, and I am sure his performances have done little to lower this! I am sure he would love to play in the premier league (if he has ambition) but they offer Champions league football, and until 2005/6 we won''t be able to offer this. However I am sure stepanovs has been mentioned in the past but he didn''t look to bad in either game, although I do not advocate buying players off the back of a couple of good performances in major championships. The name of jordi cruyff springs to mind!

Missed the games yesterday, how did Nilsson play? Heard he played right back for Sweden, which would be useful in terms on versatility and cover for city next season, if he is being looked at as a right sided midfielder. Did perez play? Infact has anyone ever seen him play?

Just watching the Denmark Bulgaria game and have to say that the stadium in Braga is the oddest thing I have ever seen - blasted out of rock! What is the strangest looking ground any of you guys seen or been to? I went to see Athletic Bilbao play once and thought their stadium was designed by a blind architect! OTBC

Has been linked with WBA! Oh my god he is a huge waste of space on £17k a week. Would be a shocker of signing for the baggies. Would help the binners cut that wage bill of theirs tho. I hope this is not a player Worthington would ever look at ....thank god I know the answer already. OTBC

Following on from the list of all users there looked like there were a few names that suggested that folks were based in the East Mids. I''m based in Leicester and would great to know how many of you guys are from around here - maybe we could get together and head down the road for the pre-season game in Coventry or meet up at a bar and watch city in a few premier (oh yes baby - premier) league games this season. OTBC! P.S Gutted that Leicester got relegated would have loved to seen us give them a right good thrashing!

Remeber seeing him play in an under 17 game versus England at St. James Park back in 2001 the boy ruled and they one 4-0. Me an my mate went to the game on a glorious evening and when they scored the forth we stood up and applauded (cos they were bloody brilliant kids) and got a few hard stares from the geordie population. He would be a great signing if we did not already have a full complement of strikers I think worthy will look at elsewhere in the team for improvements. Has to be said though he is dead fast and pace is crucial in the premier league but huckerby, bentley and of course Mr Mackay(!) can all provide this.

If the whole england team was made up of norwich players then I would think about it but at the end of the day there is only norwich and there will only be norwich for me. I remember the feeling of losing on penalties to DGermany in Italia 90 and Euro 96 but the pain and the agony of both added together did not come anywhere near as close as the loss to brum. We are premier league and if we remain there for 10 years I would sacrifice national glory. OTBC

Well my other half is from Ipswich, she is not the biggest town fan but went to the playoff final when they went up and her family are pretty diehard - have great banter with them and to be fair considering where they are from they''re o.k. Bragging rights very much with me this year and I loved it! After setting up canary supporters networks in The United States, Peru and Madrid I am going to be heading out to South Africa in the Autumn to recruit international canaries. OTBC!

La Paz is the capital of bolivia, and is a nice city (built in a volcano!), however I have to disagree with the statement that it is welcoming to binners. I have been spreading the word in South America and Ipswich is a very dirty word! The Peruvian branch of the canaries fan base is going strong, and now we are in the premiership coverage will improve (from nothing to weekly updates!).
