Let's let them know our thoughts in the comments.

Apparently written by a Norwich fan, but it's full of lazy tropes; overemphasising our last relegation and glossing over our transformation and progress from two years ago.

Very fair summary of the club and its recent history. Lighthearted journalism, but objective.

Many a girlfriend has reminded me that there's much fun to be had in the process of going down. Cheer up!

[king canary 7,654]

Any team who finished bottom last time around and have sold their best player will likely be predicted for relegation. They may be wrong but no point getting offended about it.

Excellent news, it’s not called the breakfast of champions for nothing.

Let’s not embarrass ourselves by getting overly defensive. I hope we don’t go down and think the attacking signings we are making give us half a chance but unless we can find a way to improve significantly defensively then we probably are favourites for the drop, I’m not yet convinced we have found that way.

I didn’t realise we were such a certainty to stay up!

Would that be a purple rinse for the mature lady?.....

[DraytonBoy 160]

City have a much better chance of staying up than last time, not only is the squad stronger but the two other promoted teams just aren't good enough for the PL. Add in the fact that several teams are in re-build mode and you have perhaps six or seven who could face a relegation fight.

I've never heard of that position. Please send details in a private message. Would my back cope with it?

Yes it would, the trick is to make sure everything is evenly distributed.

[Worthy Nigelton 1,062]

I thought it was a very fair assessment of us and the prediction is not from that journo but an average of a few journos isnt it?

How is that a shock? The sky sports opening sequence has Norwich depicted as a tiny canary on Watford’s massive moose’s antlers. It’s a blink and you’ll miss moment. 

No matter how many decent write ups there are in any independent press / fanzines about Norwich, the national media will always pour scorn on us. It’s boring, lazy and tedious but that’s ‘the noise’ for you. 
 

Until Norwich ‘do a Leicester’ or win a cup we’ll always be ignored or regarded as something humorous owing to our ownership and ‘let’s be ‘avin you’. 

Admittedly things have changed a little since the academy has come into its own recently but on the whole mainstream media couldn’t give a rat’s a$$ about us. 

 

[rock bus 854]

I thought it was a good article, nicely balanced (like our team this year hopefully!)

[Fuzzar 1,703]

McNulty on the BBC has us finishing 17th, ahead of Burnley, Brentford and Watford in that order. 

[Nuff Said 5,173]

The below the line comments, most of which read like neutrals, are surprisingly positive. Most of those predicting the bottom three don’t pick us, and there’s a lot of appreciation for our business model.
