Six footers?

Recommended Posts

I am sure I remember Glenn saying at some time something about needing to build a team of six footers to get out of this league. Or is my memory playing tricks?

That came to mind as I enjoyed watching Stoke beat Aston Villa earlier today with a beauty from Ricardo Fuller and a 94th minute winner. Apparently Pulis is continuing with his six footer philosophy in the Prem. Will be interesting to watch the outcome.

How are we doing on the six footer front? Anyone know? Or are we going to dink our way up with ballers?

Sounds like Stoke are trying to become the new Wimboldone, and yes he did say you need strong, athlet players, which i think we are slowly getting as the teams overal fittness levels proved at Cardiff.

GR not only said that they should be a minimum of 6 foot but also that they should be muscular, agile and have good stamina....and no, I don''t think your memory is playing tricks.

Stoke will be interesting to watch, apparently the commentator used the word "skill" once ot twice.

No idea about the height of our footballers because, like you, I take no interest in them, never read about them, can''t be bothered to look their stats up on Wiki, etc. Because if I was a Norwich fan and I heard a rumour (or even half a rumour) then that would be one of the first things I would look for.

Hey B....no can''t be bothered to go back and see what your login was,if you ever make it to a Norwich game(doubt it)why don''t you take a tape measure with you and check. Oh and if by some fluke you do ever bother watching a game take that wizard character with you,he''s never been either.

Theres and absolute giant that sits in the jarrold stand. Im sure most of you will have seen him about carrow road walking to match days... He''s literally like 6ft 7''''-8''''... He would fit the bill! :D Or my brother? 6ft 5 and can hold the ball up nicely, shame he wouldnt score very many though, but might do a little more than mr. cureton

Bunny. Pity you got your colours mixed up - your last paragraph should have been in pink.

One love.

By the way, a real Norwich fan would know about proper colour coordination - see immediately below.

Bunny, How can Huckerby be through on goal and then have two defenders to beat when he''s about to shoot? How come he doesn''t score? Since when was forever two words? Oh, and what''s a legand?

You''re a Disgrace and I''ll be fronting a one man protest outside the city stand at our next home game in order to have you removed from this site, future games, and from purchasing goods in both the club shop at the ground and in the mall.

Not at all, you obviously are a bit confused.

As for colour coordination, since when have we played in orange?

Evidently none of you know what proportion of six footers Roeder now has in his squad.

And hence how close he is to achieving his objective.

Not very, one suspects.

Although I suspect that he was just shooting off his mouth when he said it.

Thanks lgt.

Did a little research and found that 10 of 12 Roeder signings currently with the club (Archibald-Henville excluded - data not found) are less than 6 ft tall.

Seems that Glenn''s  ''ideals'' have been thrown to one side in the cold glare of reality - or he was really just shooting off his mouth as I suggested earlier.

Seems we''re left with dinking ourselves up. Rather a high risk option these days one would have thought.
