e10_yellow 0 Posted April 28, 2011 Commented on it earlier. Incredibly tenuous comparison with Man Utd - so essentially we both have a Scottish manager, score a lot of late goals and have a player from the Americas.Still, always nice to see positive national coverage.

Shack Attack 0 Posted April 28, 2011 Except for the fact that PL sends his Norwich team out to win every game no matter who the opposition is. Whereas Lord Purple Nose sends out a team packed with spoilers such as Park and Fletcher whenever they come up against anyone decent.We''re the Barca of The Championship. I thought that was pretty obvious [:D][;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mario Harpershite 20 Posted April 28, 2011 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/football-league-blog/2011/apr/28/norwich-city-championship-promotionI have to say the argument about us being similar to M Utd wears a bit thin but worth a read nonetheless...

Syteanric 1 Posted April 28, 2011 quite a few similarities..both teams have a Scottish manager,Both teams have a fat man up front playing next to a pacey poacher!Both sides have a player who is permanently Injured (hargreaves and Hughes)and i agree, its Yellow and green, not green and gold!

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted April 28, 2011 [quote user="Herman "]Small point,but weren''t Man City the last team to do successive promotions?[/quote]They went up via the play-offs and the writer says the last team to achieve two automatic promotions.
