Canary Jedi 578 Posted August 15, 2015 My friends, don''t get too excited about today''s result. According to most punditry I listened to it was only because Sunderland did not play well .... what a load of tosh.So many times I have seen Norwich make teams look bad through playing great team football. It''s actually why I started supporting the Canaries in the mid-80''s.Ok Sunderland are clearly not firing on all cylinders but we still had to put them to the sword and we did it majestically.And now to the bonus dig: Robbie Savage read out a tweet from a Norwich fan who finished it with "#OTBC ...""WHAT''S OTBC?" He says. So great to have such a knowledgeable pundit, I can exactly see why they chose him. It''s only one of the oldest songs in football. Did he never play against us?Rearrange these letters to describe Robbie Savage: TTWA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted August 15, 2015 His timewasting which allowed the extra minutes for Simeon Jackson to score in the 95th minute against Derby will always be one reason why I will never entirely hate Robbie Savage.Though he is undoubtedly a complete bellend. Hopefully he''ll be on Strictly Come Dancing at some point, thus sealing his fate as football''s equivalent of Phil Tufnell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westcoastcanary 173 Posted August 15, 2015 Wasn''t just Robbie who didn''t know what OTBC meant. Darren Fletcher, one of R5L''s top football commentators, hadn''t a clue either. It was left to someone in the production team to whisper in their headphones! #hopeless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted August 15, 2015 To be fair, ask most people outside Norwich what OTBC stands for and I don''t think many would get it right, football fans or not.I like Savage, an entertaining pundit not afraid to have an opinion with enough knowledge in there somewhere to actually make sense.But then I like Tuffers as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted August 16, 2015 It was amusing to hear Savage go on about "what''s OTBC" until they were finally told.Pretty sure John Motson wouldn''t have needed telling 😉 There was also an interesting discussion from them that we need a goalscorer- Savage basically taking the Hughton approach of saying "who''s got a record of scoring goals, and try to sign them." Fletcher did at least make the point it would need to be someone who needs to fit in with the team. Neither of them has any idea what Jerome offers us up front from his overall game which is the main reason I''m not worried about them both predicting us to be relegated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted August 16, 2015 Unfortunately OTBC isn''t so well known outside of Norfolk. You''ll Never Walk Alone is probably the only phrase I know from any other top flight club... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
