Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted November 30, 2016 I think a lot of Norwich City supporters wondered how the heck we were top-of-the-league earlier in the season. ''Hate'' is a strong emotion - more a case of gentle bewilderment in my case. Darren Eadie pointed out at the time that we had yet to play any of the top 6 - so maybe he had a fair point regarding what was to come. Amazing how things have capitulated like they have though...Let''s hope there is a genuine turnaround on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simmo_2 6 Posted November 30, 2016 [quote user="morty"][quote user="simmo_2"][quote user="nutty nigel"]Yes Morty I think it is. And when you hear some of this stuff in person, rather than reading it on here, the bile is spat out with pure hatred. This will only get worse the longer our poor run goes on. But should we turn it around and get to Wembley the hatred is miraculously turned to love. [/quote]We should have never got to Wembley, it has been our downfall! To be honest I have not seen NCFC play well this season and was saying that when we were top of the league. One result wont change many peoples opinions.It will please people like yourself and Morty so you can say I told you it would all be ok.[/quote]Going out on a limb here, but I assume you support Norwich City?Does it not please you to see your team win?[/quote]My point is, which club is better off NCFC or Boro. They have had another season in championship to improve and when they got promoted they signed premiership players.Back to the original post the 2 clowns in charge of our recruitment have let Alex Neil down in every transfer window. The Pritchard signing was laughable, as though they picked up the newspaper in the morning and see he was going to Brighton and thought we will give him a ring and offer more money. Not thinking whether the squad needs that type of player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted November 30, 2016 I couldn''t give a shiney $hite about "boro" or how much better it is to support any other team frankly.And my point was, that you obviously missed, are you not happy to see your team win?So you would rather we didn''t have Pritchard?

simmo_2 6 Posted November 30, 2016 Sorry to go on but just had this thought--Ricky Martin ringing Alvaro Negredo (or agent) to see if he is interested in joining NCFC. Sure he would treat it like a PPI call.Would that call be taken more seriously if we had someone who is known to at least all clubs in the UK preferably Europe in the technical director role.

hogesar 9,743 Posted November 30, 2016 But we''ve had more recent success than Middlesbrough. We beat them in a play-off final remember? It''s only been a season. We could swap places again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
