nutty nigel 7,509 Posted March 14, 2012 Yep. We don''t have to be grateful although I am. But being ungrateful is the thin end of the edge for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

William Darby 0 Posted March 14, 2012 *Note this is not a criticism of McNally*I really don''t like the phrase ''punch above your weight''. You arrive at were you are by hard work and management skill etc etc etc. In my view it''s a slightly negative phrase implying we''re little ''ol Norwich.

Mister Chops 7 Posted March 14, 2012 It''s interesting how much praise is given to Stephen Fry for promoting the club. Now where''s that Wizard....? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted March 14, 2012 But i''m sure anyone who doesn''t like Delia or Fry already have their excuses lined up, something along the lines of McNally having to say such things of his employers etc.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted March 15, 2012 Or he could have given his views on some of today''s big issues, such as the large proportion of killer wales at bay in the lower pacific, or the huge influx of spider monkeys in the south east of Wales, or he could have even commented on how the boom of pocket knife sales in outer Mongolia will effect the sales of replica AK47s in egypt.

No, but we have had a rather large influx of worms since a can was opened in Norfolk recently. How many worms, does anyone know? As for pocket knives in Outer Mongolia, could you please send some to Duncan Edwards so that he may carve The DicTaTor - Peoples Republic of Wadiya where ever it is that he likes to carve things?Long live McNally, Wadiya salutes you!

Largey24 0 Posted March 15, 2012 McNally has been a revolution since he has been here. Turned us into a hard nosed club who won''t back down from compromising positions and were now standing our ground in certain situations, coming better off time and time again.

Clearly there is very little respect here for the sensitivities of others and I am entitled to say my piece however few post I have made.I suggest quality rather than quantity may be more relevant and numbers mean very little.

All types of people post on here and if you don''t get the banter or if you don''t understand when some people trying to be humerous, however clumsy or unfunny you find it, then you would have to ask what is the point in you posting on here at all? For goodness sake - try to enjoy other peoples humour - or at least try to be a bit more forgiving. We''re all human aren''t we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
