Matt Juler 192 Posted July 19, 2011 Was listening to The Monday Night Club on Radio 5 last night and they were talking very positively about Norwich (for about 2 or 3 minutes between 20:30 and 21:00, should be available on the iplayer for anyone who wants to have a listen).In the studio were Mark Chapman, Martin Keown, Ian McGarry and Jonathan Pearce. Chappers initially questioned the signing of lower league players, but Ian said he was very impressed with the signings to date and spoke about a chat he had with Lambert a few weeks before the end of the season about his transfer methods. Jonthan Pearce spoke about Holt, Jackson and also highlighted Russell Martin as someone to look out for next season.One of them (I believe it was Ian McGarry but I''m not 100% sure as I was navigating the Hanger Lane Gyratory at the time) said that of the 3 promoted sides at this time with the current squads, Norwich look to be in the best shape for next season. He went on to say though that QPR have a lot of money and could still make some key signings.http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b012kq98/5_live_Sport_The_Monday_Night_Club_18_07_2011/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legend Iwan 30 Posted July 19, 2011 Apart from Bright I can''t think of any that have already written is off. Henry Winter - of the Telegraph - was certainly waxing lyrical about our nice style of play at the end of last season, and how he looks forward to us in the Prem. To be honest I think we''ve come in under the radar comapred to QPR and Swansea so not really facing a lot of the media coverage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,396 Posted July 19, 2011 As a newly promoted team we will always be discussed as a possible team for relegation, even more so considering our back-to-back promotion and a team of relatively unknown players. It would take a very brave pundit to come out and say "Norwich will be safe" before a ball has been kicked in anger. In the same way all the pundits will discuss QPR, Swansea, Wigan, Wolves etc in the context of whether they will avoid relegation or not. Interestingly (possibly) 13 out of 30 teams have been relegated in their first season in the Prem in the last 30 years. Roughly a 50% success rate, not sure if that is a good or bad omen.

Mahogany 0 Posted July 19, 2011 I read something somewhere about the odds for relegation and how us and Swansea were the clear favourites to go down, with Wigan and QPR being next. But the article also said that there has been a significantly lower volume of bets on us going down than any of the other bottom 4. Suggests that the market feels we have a better chance of survival than the ''experts''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canary_bird 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Mickey Quinn on Talksport ... I remember watching him play against us for Coventry, he ''fell over'' in the penalty area and someone nearby shouted out "Save the Whale"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 401 Posted July 19, 2011 Ive not heard to much to be honest, its other teams flaws that appear to be highlighted.So far its QPR''s lack of spending and Blackburn who appear to be rasing the most eyebrows from what ive read personally I think we have a better chance next year than QPR, Blackburn, Wolves, Wigan and Villa going off the current transfer activity and the disruption being experienced there.

The Fish Seller 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Credit where it''s due and all that as the pundit who seems to be most convinced that we aren''t relegation fodder is none other than Alan Brazil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
claud 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Was listening Talksport on the way home last night. ''A journalist'' joined Sam Matterface as they discussed every Premiership club and the signings they''d made. The journalist said that he''d very recently had a conversation with Harry Redknapp, who was very impressed with the type signings that NCFC had made.
