Jelly 0 Posted July 27, 2008 Let''s admit it. Something has changed at Carra Rd. Season after (bitterly disappointing) season I have struggled to force myself to pathetic levels of exitement over our mediocre signings ( chadwick, matty patty, hughesy) or players I''ve never/barely heard of (dave striker, le judge.) This time 12 months ago, 24 months ago,we were all kidding ourselves that we could compete. This year due ,almost solely, to the nasty and hugely ambitious talents of GR we have a team! GR isn''t a son of Norfolk and perhaps because of this he couldn''t understand the desert of ambition which was carra/colney. SuperWes and Bell are arguably the most talented wingers/widemidfielders outside the prem. Fact. Can anyone expain why they have chosen to play here? Please don''t get all "binnerwatch" on me as I love the club passionately, I simply dont understand. I cant wait to watch us play totters and although I''m sure it wont click yet. Despite all the financial malarky things appear to be changing in the only place it matters.............the list of names GR hands to the ref an hour before KO. I got a feeling that GR might just be to Norwich what BC was to Forest and AF was to Man Utd.Unlike Worthy or Grant I''m not sure I would like to be stuck in a lift with GR and that is a truly brilliant thing! (Also can anyone remember from last seasons MOTD just how quick Elliot Omazuzi was? Just think if it doesn''t work out for him we will have to make do with the less than sluggish Semmy. SuperWes regulary makes championship players look a little bit silly and Bell was the reason for Lutons recent cup run - always got time and options on the ball.) Awaiting any geniunely amusing doommongering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted July 27, 2008 From the Sunday people......."Shola Ameobi, who is understood to want to quit St James'' Park, looked his side''s biggest threat but wasted four golden chances."In the meantime Martin Taylor scores for Brum, says it all really, Roeder hasn''t a clue. SACK ROEDER AND CLARK NOW!!!!!!!![:@] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimbob 0 Posted July 27, 2008 Wes Hoolahan chose Norwich because of the Colney training ground facilities, he had the choice of eight other clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Fact" [^o)][/quote]You are correct of course Bump and Alex but what a shame that you respond to a thoughtful and literate contribution by a new poster with such narrow minded, pedantic nit-picking!!!!We get the message board we deserve.Jelly is right as there is a different feel about the Club and for the first time in years there is genuine hope and aspiration. Glenn has beeen a revelation and is doing something distinctive and effective. I can''t wait for 16th August and there have been a few seasons since I felt this excited (and I''m a fifty something man with 36 years of supporting City so I''ve seen most things).I have not been stuck in a lift with Glenn but I knew him when we were boys. I remember him as most who know him describe him now as being good company but quite determined underneath. My guess is that like many ruthless business people, he is charming but hard when necessary. At least he does not appear to share the huge character flaws of his two predecssors and that is good news in itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jelly 0 Posted July 27, 2008 Ive been to colney. Its lovely. However I hugely doubt that Wes chose us solely because of Colney. Think your being bit silly. More likely GR''s burning ambition and competitive salary had something to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
