The Smiths reign

[Blofield Canary 11]

It has been suggested in other threds that we are back to square 1 and are no better off than we were when they took over. Take a look at the league table the year they took over.

You could argue there are some teams here that are currently better off than us but equally there are plenty worse off.

Add to this Leeds, Leicester and Wimbledon who were in the Premier League and are now a league below us.

It has been suggested in other threds that we are back to square 1 and are no better off than we were when they took over. Take a look at the league table the year they took over.

You could argue there are some teams here that are currently better off than us but equally there are plenty worse off.

Add to this Leeds, Leicester and Wimbledon who were in the Premier League and are now a league below us.

Someone genuinely thinks that Smith & Jones have been here since the 2005/2006 season. Deary me. [:S]

This is embarrassing but also very funny.I suggest that we are worse off now than when Delia took over. Quality stats though JBGhost.

Add an ''s'' into the word ''reign'' and i would be a far happier Norwich City supporter.

You have got your seasons muddled up son. You are lloking at the wrong table by nearly 10 years! This table is only 3 seasons old. Try again Doncaster.
