Chelm Canary 404 Posted September 28, 2019 Once again talking about Norwich, this time in his interview on match of the day, saying Norwich took their chance a few weeks ago. What on earth does that have to do with their game today? We aren't Sheffield United and man City aren't Liverpool. I do think he has a problem with us. I take it as compliment but it's a little strange. Hope he got his Norwich City stick book in the post so he can sleep well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggy 755 Posted September 28, 2019 Because us (newly promoted side) against Man City (one of the top 2) and Sheff Utd (newly promoted side) against Liverpool (one of the top 2) is a very similar match up. His point was that we won by taking our chances, Sheff Utd had chances and didn’t take them so didn’t get the result we did. Fair point and a good comparison. A good comparison as well because it goes back to what I and others have said about our chances this season - Pukki will be what keeps us up, because he can score from a half chance. Sheff Utd today (especially with Sharp suspended) didn’t have anyone like that. Noticeably this season when Pukki doesn’t score we don’t win. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelm Canary 404 Posted September 28, 2019 As I said it's a compliment, but I don't understand it. Who cares who was promoted, we're all in the same league now. Their result today has nothing to do with Norwich. I just think its bizarre, to once again mention us after losing. He tells his players "be us". Go do that then. You have to admit he talks about Norwich a lot, and it was certainly strange to that again this afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,818 Posted September 29, 2019 I think we talk about Wilder on this messageboard more than he talks about us. He gets a new thread every week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,737 Posted September 29, 2019 Reading this forum i thought it was posters on here who were obsessed with Wilder. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted September 29, 2019 Agreed with Aggy, Wacky and TIL.. Our obsession with him is way more apparent to me than the other way round. The more recent time he mentioned us beating Man City was when he was directly asked about the game - what was he supposed to say? And completely agree with Aggy’s justification for the comparison yesterday - we are both two newly promoted clubs who played two home games with the odds massively stacked against us and both teams gave a very good account of themselves. We took our chances and they didn’t! I don’t see the issue with him referencing us here 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What Aggyo said was if Pukki doesn't score, we don't win. Not ' if Pukki scores, we win'. Two very different statements. If one must split hairs, make sure one reads the instructions on hairsplitting, otherwise one may look a little daft.

Chelm Canary 404 Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) I will double down. I think you're all wrong and I'm right. My friends have nicknamed me Donald. EDIT: Trump, not Duck. Edited September 29, 2019 by Chelm Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
