In any case I'm happy with any of: Norwich, Norwich City, Norwich City FC, The Canaries or just the usual one, 'Pride of Anglia' I like the title "Norwich City" too, but not at the expense of the others. It's happening more and more in reports, podcasts and commentaries. We are "Norwich City" - of course we are, I just think it sounds a bit silly when it is said over and over during matches and reports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyro Pete 1,909 Posted April 10 It annoys me when Jermaine Jeans constantly refers to Trent Alexander-Arnold simply as Trent. "Trent put a great ball into the box." "Trent shows great positional awareness." "Trent knows he should do better there." SHUT UP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talking of Trent never shorten Nottingham Forest to Notts Forest when down that way. The locals will likely put you straight that it's Nottm Forest or simply Forest.

To be fair that only changed in 1992. These things take time 😉 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Channon’s Windmill 327 Posted April 10 5 hours ago, lake district canary said: Seems to me that our local commentators and journalists keep saying "Norwich City" every single time they mention us and it's starting to irritate me. All through pinkun reports and particularly the match commentator last night, we keep getting this "Norwich City this" and "Norwich City that"....... We all know we're "Norwich City" so is there any need to keep saying it? Surely it's enough just to say "Norwich" most of the time?? Has anyone else noticed this? Slightly more concerned by throwing away another chance of 3 points from a winning position. Again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GodlyOtsemobor 2,354 Posted April 10 (edited) Dunno so much about the just Norwich or Norwich city thing. Doesn't bother me either way but.... Should of had the stream I had with the Phil Daley on comms from radio norfolk doesn't know half the players of our own team ( referring to Batth as Duffy and saying we have Batth on the bench) then clearly doesn't do the amount of research that Goreham does. Most of the time the Wednesday players were referred to as their center back, their right back, the Sheffield Wednesday player, or my personal favorite of the night... When I think I might have been Sara nutmegged the defender.... "He puts it through someone's legs" - well, thanks Phil, really bringing the action to life 🤣🤣 lucky it was on stream and not a radio watch hey.

I think that may annoy me actually, if I lived in Hove! Interesting, you very really hear Brighton & Hove Albion. At the very least, it should be Brighton & Hove. They also play in Falmer!

Virtual reality 716 Posted April 10 It’s probably a good job for you that Lampard didn’t get the job in the end. If Norwich City is enough to grind your gears then the constant “Frank Lampards Norwich City” would have tipped you over 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
