I know we should only be looking forward, but.......

....is there a tiny part of anyone else out there who would love to see the EDP or the Pink''un interviewing a Croft, a Russell, a Clingan or a Bell, who all went off for ''bigger and better'' things, on their take on Norwich''s current position?

I would even like to read an interview with Roeder or Gunn to see what part they feel they played in the reincarnation of NCFC...........

Perhaps the Pinkun or EDP24 could run a competition for fans to guess what other word (apart from ''off) was used by the above when contacted for an interview about how well we are doing without them.

Have to confess to a brief thought on Monday about how glad I was that Roeder signed Wes.

How did Lee Croft win player of the season anyway? Looking at the list of past winners in Monday''s match-day programme his name stuck out like a sore thumb.

Lita was the only good player that year - and he was only on loan for about 14 games? Errrr, Drury? errrrr, god that team was bloody awful!

He looked a very good player, and in no way deserved to be in a team that got relegated- just a shame that everyone else in the squad did.Croft had an advantage though in that he won about three Player of the Month awards whereas I think Clingam may have only won one, and some of the votes are carried over.[quote user="Robert N.

Hitler done a lot of good for the german market he stopped their inflation on basic products like milk and bread. Made the deutchmark worth more. But he got too greedy and wanted to take on the world.

So, that''s sorted then. Hitler did more good for Germany than Roeder did for Norwich.

[Bill 1,788]

The (hyper) inflation in Germany happened over 10 years before Hitler came to power. I doubt he made the Deutchmark worth more either, as it was not introduced until 1948 when Hitler had been dead for a number of years.

Neither did he create the VW Beetle. That was done by Ferdinand Porche with ideas ''borrowed'' from Hans Ledwinka of the Czech car manufactorers Tatra.

However in his defence Hitler was one of Germanys best loved Elvis impersonators (a bit ahead of his time some have said).

I said on another thread that I think the only really good player to sign for us after Worthy until we were relegated was Wes. I think you guys over rate Clingan a bit. He looks good on the ball but, like the rest of our midfield at that time, left our defence exposed and regularly lost his man. The Doc was probably the best that year. But he wouldn''t get near our team now.

He wouldn''t get near our forward line...

Unless he was manhandling them to the ground or giving away his 53rd penalty of the season....

Great post. I''d love to see Lee Croft interviewed. He would bite his own arm off for a deal at Norwich now. We had the best of him (what little there was) and now he''s playing at a lower level.

I''ll never forget how he sat on the panel of the Open Day forum after our relegation as if he was too big for this club, constantly refusing to say whether he was signing a new deal or not. He bloody would now.
