Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted April 21, 2018 I believe there has been an acceptance by some Norwich fans that we’re now just a mid table Champ side and we should be thankful for the way the club is being run. Nothing wrong with that as such, it’s up to own personal prerogatives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 995 Posted April 21, 2018 Well I have not accepted that we are a mid table Championship side (certainly not after one season of transition). I might do after 16 consecutive seasons of mid table obscurity. Did I have a chuckle at Ippo getting gubbed by Villa, a team managed by an ex Norwich legend with two ex Norwich players on the scoresheet and all on the anniversary of us defeating them 5-1, off course I did....why wouldn''t I?.........

Herman 9,583 Posted April 22, 2018 It''s the constant negativity that gets on people''s tits. If on occasion you said something praising the club,if you said something praising a player (that is actually playing) and then mixed it up with things the club has got wrong, then people might be prepared to listen. As it is, and as it has always been, your endless slating of the club has just got tiresome.If you hate our club so much, why are you here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve praised many of our players In the past, you and others just choose to forget and it suits the agenda. Hoolahan is probbaly the biggest example. A hugely talented player that I battled against many on here who thought he was ‘a one trick pony’ and should be sold. Ok an ex player, but again I battled with posters with regard to Surman too. Another quality player. Another Howson... point is I support and praise quality players!Admittedly this season I’ve not had much postive things to say. But come on, we’ve been dreadful and just overseen a downgrading in squad quality! There is precious little to be postive about after this season, or the last few to be quite honest! We’re on a downward trajectory reflected by every facet of the club at the moment.Truth is, most dislike my posts because there pretty accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,502 Posted April 22, 2018 Funny that Lincoln, because posters who have the ability to present a balanced argument always get the same from me. I''ve disagreed with many posters opinions over the years but we''ve had no problem debating it. Just picking one out of the air, King Canary and I disagree on most things, but we have no problem discussing it.I have no problem with anyone stating something negative, as long as it''s balanced.

Nuff Said 4,938 Posted April 22, 2018 "Truth is, most dislike my posts because there pretty accurate."But you seem to revel in pointing out negatives. The fact that you use a p!ayer who effectively left us almost five years ago as evidence of your positive posts shows that they almost never happen. You''re constantly slagging things off (and often being pulled up for being wrong or blinkered), but in your head, you seem to think you''re some crusader for the truth.

Bill 1,788 Posted April 22, 2018 Not the happiest day done on the farm.With the foreman having been banished and ticket prices cut there was a fair few of the not too bright turning up - some even in expectation rather than hope.But as ever at poorman road things did not go as wanted. Yes, there were four goals, as with City at home to Villa, but unfortunately none for the farmhands.A lack lustre performance, another defeat and over 10,000 empty seats told you all you need to know about the day and the state of the club.Not so much animal farm, but abysmal farm, with their record of time in the Championship looking to maybe end, by heading downward.RIPswich.
