I would say that about 70% of their posts are having a snide dig at the club in one way or another. The OP is a right winger who doesn't like MWJ and Delia because they are a bit liberal.

Thirsty Lizard 3,192 Posted August 29, 2023 8 hours ago, Robert N. LiM said: Both these views are correct. To square the circle, I'd like to see a league-wide agreement that clubs don't fly, or at the very least, that they agree a distance limit below which you don't fly. (Doesn't seem unreasonable to me that Middlesbrough might fly to Plymouth, for instance, but that time Arsenal flew to Norwich was just completely ridiculous) If you have a league-wide agreement, what you lose in sporting disadvantage when you have a long away trip, you get back in the home game when the opposition have to travel to you. Absolutely agree with this. (and was about to post something similar myself until I read yours). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 7,162 Posted August 29, 2023 Interesting that a thread asking what players should play in a cup match has become a debate about flying planes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,110 Posted August 29, 2023 i think Idah should play if he scores or has a good game like he has been doing be good for his confidence , if he plays and has a terrible game then webber and wagner might rethink and get a striker in , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem with this, as I see it, is that it would favour the London/Midlands area teams disproportionnally. Norwich, like Newcastle, Cardiff etc are on the extremities. Using your example of Arsenal v Norwich via coach would mean that Norwich would undertake a number of similar length journeys whereas Arsenal would have a significant number of shorter journeys to Capital based teams and the like. This, over the season, may provide an advantage due to the lesser time spent travelling. Edited August 29, 2023 by Conrad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do, but the suggestion was that Norwich should travel by Coach rather than Fly, thus increasing that advantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
