[Luke O Donoughoe 0]

i wud b very close but i wud prob go wid Norwich stayin in the d prem for nxt 10 yrs

[Anderz 0]

City over the National team everytime... no question...

[XXL16 0]

Surely is Norwich to stay in Premiership....I am not a fans of England team....

[First Wizard 0]

You have to EVEN ask Luke!. No question, City every time.

If you said Euro 2004 or Norwich I would say Norwich, just.

But if you throw in Euro 2004 win and World Cup 2006 win for England IN GERMANY, then I''d take that everytime.

But a very good question.

[Neilson 6 0]

Norwich 100% all the way. Whenever I watch the national team I can never get as excited as when I watch Norwich.

[Jonzey 0]

XXL16, does that mean your''re a Scot or other foreign team supporter? If not how can you not be a fan of your own countries football team?!!
But to answer the question, gotta be Norwich in the Prem!!!! Every time, no question.

Although, as 1st Wiz already knows, England will win the World Cup 2006 anyway. 40 years exactly after their first victory!! Green in goal, Henderson on the wing with a cross to Owen to nod in the winner.

If the whole england team was made up of norwich players then I would think about it but at the end of the day there is only norwich and there will only be norwich for me. I remember the feeling of losing on penalties to DGermany in Italia 90 and Euro 96 but the pain and the agony of both added together did not come anywhere near as close as the loss to brum. We are premier league and if we remain there for 10 years I would sacrifice national glory. OTBC

Is this a joke? If Norwich were guaranteed to stay in the Prem for the next 10 years, I wouldn''t mind if England LOST every game!!

[Dirty Lyle 0]

No brainer really. City every time for me.

I dont think England have it in the locker to win Euro 2004 (there will be a penalty shoot out at some stage and someone will bodge it) but 2006 is a possibility. Erikkson has been building towards 2006 since he took over.

Amazing to think City will have been in the Premiership for two years by then.

[Swarney 0]

Got to be Norwich

[Karl Pilkington 0]

Why cant we have both????

On the ball England!!!

[Tumbleweed 106]

A tougher one might be:

City stay in Prem for 10 years

OR

Ipswich relegated to Vauxhall Conference in 10 years'' time

I''d still go for City but then the latter would be jolly nice...........

[Herb 0]

City every time.

I''m a Norwich fan first, an England fan second.

International football is great to watch, but in all honesty for me its just passing away the months ''till the domestic season begins again.

For possibly the first time ever, we Norwich fans will be looking at some of the lesser known international players and wondering if Worthy has his eagle eye on them.
Good young players are uncovered every major championship, lets hope Worthy is as good on the international market as he is on the domestic.

Do you really need to ask?

City first.

Always.

[susie b 0]

England don''t even come close to paling into insignificance for me! City to infinity and beyond!!!

[gazzathegreat 0]

while i will watch euro 2004 with much enthusiasm (and cos i am starved of football and want it back like now!) norwich have to come first every time

i don''t care if england never qualified for anything ever again if it meant the premiership forever for our club

[Kathy 823]

No contest. If England lose then I am fed up for about 10 minutes then back to normal. If City lose (can only just remember mind) I am devastated and extremely bad company for about a week.

[d-block barclayboy 0]

how about norwich staying in prem for 11 years and england winning 2004, its a compromise.
other than that it has to be the yellas can''t get the same nervey excited feelings i do with england but it is still good when ingaaaaaland win except you see more burarry''s out they should be outlawed

[essex canary 623]

East Anglia should be declared a seperate republic with Norwich as its national team.

[Norfolk Dan 336]

I am afraid to say England to win Euro 2004..... only cause I have 2 tickets for the final, so watching England Win will be something else... Norwich Staying in the Premiership... well I have my ticket for that too!!!

[gazzathegreat 0]

that''s a bit controversial essex

do you mean we are bigger than ipswich?

[jon francis 0]

England every time!!!

[FatboySlimfast 0]

Jonzey, may i suggest you check out the "Hong Kong Footy" section on the pinkun home page. This will explain everything you need to know about XXL16 and his reason for not supporting England.

In answer to the question............without a doubt, Norwich staying in the prem.

[southstand rebel 0]

What a question City every time we know these players they are part of our thoughts every day most of the England team are just overpaid primadonna''s

[charlies dad 0]

City. First. Last. Always.

[Jonzey 0]

Is XXL16 the dude from Hong Kong then Fatboy? I checked out this section and couldn''t see a name anywhere so I''m still non-the wiser.

If so I suppose he would follow the Chinese national team. Surely they must be pretty good by now with 1 billion people to choose from, I bet they''re above Scotland in the FIFA world rankings?

[Pete Raven 276]

Yup - XXL16 = David Lee, the author of Hong Kong Footy.

[Al Yellow 0]

Jonez, China 66th in the rankings, Scotland 56th.......not bad considering that there are 240 times as many Chinese! Real story is Ireland, up to 14th one place behind the English, with England very much on the slide.

Sure I speak for all Scots, Irish and Welsh fans in wishing the Engerland (I believe that''s how you spell it!) team all the best for Euro 2004..........Diamond formation and Ledley King you''re going to need it!

10 Years of Premier football for me!

[GenerationA47 864]

I''m with Iwan''s front teeth (never thought I''d say that particular sentence. Wonder where they are now...). I''ve never understood this widely-held apparent choice between club & country. They aren''t rivals, since they play in different paradigms, and there isn''t (yet) even a conflict between player assignment in terms of availability/injury risk, since Greeno isn''t the regular no.3. I''m a Norfolk boy and English, so I support both (simplistic I know, but I am an England fan, so please don''t ask for complexities!).

I know the thread subject was a hypothetical question, but nightmares apart we''re virtually guaranteed to be competing to either stay in (though not gain a meaningful place) or return to (which is also exciting at our level) the Premier every season for the next 10 years. On the other hand England winning the two biggest world competions consecutively comes along only rather rarely! Perhaps people can enlighten me as to the reasons for their own views on the subject?
