Sorry to be direct but Jesus Christ to not have an opinion is passionless ambivalence. Although everyone entitled to an opinion...although you don't have one...🤔 Oh, right, so now I’m being told how to support the club I’ve followed for well over 40 years, am I? The point is that wherever we’re playing I’ll support the team, and whoever represents it, and want it to win.  There seems to be a difference, because some seem to be in a position where they would prefer to ‘prove’ they are right by us failing.  That’s pretty feeble, but I suppose they are entitled to that (if it can be called an) opinion.  But as it is one you agree with, it appears you’ll let that part of it slide.

You make friends with a couple. They are heading towards an extremely messy divorce. One cheats on the other, the other tries to stop the other from seeing their kids. Neither of them respect a "oh I'm completely neutral and support both of you guys" argument. There's no scope for that, you've got to pick one or ditch them both. Neither of them accept or respect fence sitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweden can't say the same. Sweden had between 10’000 and 20’000 volunteer soldiers who fought the nazis depending on where you get information from. Many countries stayed neutral too like Switzerland who got rich on nazi gold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll support the club whoever and wherever they are playing, and hope they win.  Clearly if they aren’t winning and continually playing poorly those making the decisions need to look at what’s going on.  I’m not in a position to make such a decision so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Smith can hardly have any complaints if he’s binned, though. Whether I want it isn’t the point.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting analogy.  Totally over the top, again, but what can we expect….I’ve had friends go through messy separations and stayed friends with both.  You just don’t seem to get it. Edited December 26, 2022 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pants 4,991 Posted December 26, 2022 31 minutes ago, cambridgeshire canary said: While there may be some on here who are gloating about how 'right' they are being 'proven' about Smith and all can we all at least come together and agree that this is a very sad and depressing chaptor of this clubs histoy? It's but a moment in the club's history. Hopefully there will be changes, lots of changes, on and off the pitch. It's happened before and it will happen again. We let the Smith situation drift too far when it was bloody obvious he's not what we need and never was.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Financially speaking, the club are nowhere near desperate yet due to our frugal attempts at playing with the big boys. Give it another few years of championship mediocrity though… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,357 Posted December 26, 2022 Didn't even bother checking the score today, that's how much Smith has made me love my team. I'll support the players to the bitter end but this crap has gone on for long enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Discobolus 11 Posted December 27, 2022 Living in Cyprus have to rely on reporting for the games, but I must ask have Norwich got a defence coach if not they really need one if they have he should be sacked, every match is the same, sloppy goals , slipshod and criminal defending, giving away stupid goals, when will something be done.
