What a bunch of time wasters we have become

[Sooty57 414]

Bl***y great, isn't it 🤣

[cambridgeshire canary 7,797]

Honestly the ****housing today made me so proud. Having had to watch us get kicked around and other teams bullying us so much in the past only for us to turn up today and dish it back was great

[Ken Hairy 4,272]

Good yellow for the team from McLean too, safe to say Smith is more savvy to the dark arts than Farke. 

[Robert N. LiM 6,273]

We finally look like we're playing the same game as everyone else

[Making Plans 957]

We are learning how not to lose

[keelansgrandad 6,680]

I know it is intended to frustrate the opposition but I do worry a booking from slow play could mean a sending off.

[Christoph Stiepermann 1,260]

Been so frustrating over the last few years, probably going back to around when Hughton left with us being such a naive side who were far too honest for our own good. It's great to see us learning how to level the playing field a bit, every other side does it to us so why shouldn't we give it back?

[The Real Buh 3,765]

We’ve needed to get streetwise for a looooo g time

hopefully now we’re on our way

nobody plays fair and neither should we

I remember us time-wasting plenty in the champs under Farke.

In the prem, under anyone, you have to not be always losing to consider time wasting.  So that would be a more valid criticism.

[Capt. Pants 5,003]

Plus we've players who will put in a feisty challenge like Williams, Byram, Kenny, and PLM can leave a foot in too.

It's great to see, for far too long we've been too nice little old Norwich.

In the champs under Farke our time wasting was mostly Tika Taka passing it around to annoy the oppoisiton rather than fouling and time wasting which proved to be our undoing in the Prem under Farke as Prem teems were able to defend and get the ball back from us when we tried that agaisnt them. Never can think of a time under Farke we were ****housers or pysicaly aggresive.

Will never happen. Chill out.

Amazing how quick the ref was to book our players though wasn't it? When you see their players clearly simulating with dives and getting away with it it takes the p, really it does.  Even when we play like everyone else we get bollocked for it.

Completely agree - we get 6 bookings they get 1. Absolutely ridiculous.

Can't believe Podence didn't get booked for diving. 

[Well b back 3,603]

I wonder if that dive in our penalty area will win the Savage and Sutton Simulation of the week.

With VAR it really is pathetic to dive like that, but since VAR you don’t seem to get booked for it.

Or Silva for his pushing. Every ball over the top (and it happened about 5 times) he nudged Grant and Gibbo as they went for the header. Only got pulled up for it once.

City being street wise.. hallelujah!

Happened when we beat Sheff Utd at Brammall Lane and their fans were singing “Take your time take your time Norwich City..”

About time we rekindled that flame. 👍🏻

Would another yellow for any of the 6 in the next fixture result in a suspension, assuming we go through?

Who was it who stood on a Wolves player’s foot when they had a free kick near the end? My money’s on Normann.

[Midlands Yellow 4,682]

Another compliment from the Wolves forum. 
 

Hanley is a ****ing thug. I hate losing to that mother****er.

If Chris Goreham was correct on Radio Norfolk then yes it would. According to him Hanley was booked at Charlton and will therefore be suspended in the next round.

I think Yarmolenko won that award earlier against Kidderminster. Truly pathetic dive.

PLM I believe. Although as said wolves player had been diving all game, it was ignored

If I ever have ever heard a compliment for a player it's that

The defender had Tazer fingernails that discharge 10,000 volts at slight contact with nylon shirt.

Replies from Wet Spam fans in original tweet make amusing reading, they're not his greatest fan

Blades fans even sing it today when any opposition starts wasting time - without changing the reference to Norwich!  It is something they find hard to forget for some reason.

The commentary was hilarious. "Let's not rush to condemn..."

*sees replay*

Let's condemn!

Bet Tom Daley had a tear in his eye watching that, a work of art!
