chiropracticcanary 5 Posted September 10, 2012 lets hypothetically say we stay up this year and finish between 12 and 15 in the league... what would you say is our most successful seasonwinning league 1,finishing runner up in championship,last year in Prem,or staying up this year.Of course they are all fantastic achievements but I was most impressed in getting out the championship on first attempt...

Indy_Bones 441 Posted September 10, 2012 The 92-93 season.We were outstanding for the vast majority of it, but just couldn''t hold it together over the last few months.An excellent 3rd place from one of our finest ever teams which then lead to the great UEFA cup run and defeat of the ''mighty'' Bayern Munich.Easily the best years I had as a fan and boy do I miss that kit...

I struggle with the concept in sport of a midtable finish being a super season even though i appreciate in the modern game it''s a huge achievement for us.

They were heady days when we were capable of beating any team,except Blackburn who beat us 7 1! What made it better though it came completely out of the blue as the season before we were nearly relegated! If we hadn''t drawn with Wimbledon 1 1 we would have been. I dont think it''ll ever happen again unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,527 Posted September 10, 2012 I thought the 1988/89 season was better. I thought we played better football and were more solid. Reckon if Chris Sutton had been about that season we''d have won the double. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted September 11, 2012 To actually answer the OP, I''d say staying up this year would have to be the most successful of those four seasons. Stronger league than last year with a lot of money being thrown around (even by promoted sides) and a change of manager could all lead to a struggle. However I think the right appointment was made for the club and we''ve already seen some promising signs of things to come... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,297 Posted September 11, 2012 For the club it has to be to stay up this season! The financial reward is huge. 1985, milk cup win and knocking out the scum in the semi is nothing short of perfect, great final against a well supported Sunderland side. Wembley and a good day out is set in my mind. Then I have to agree 93 season finishing 3rd was a hell of a season too. The trouble is we have a new generation of supporter who were not lucky enough to have experienced those days and think this past 4 years are all we are about! There has been some major pain too inbetween the good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We won the league by 7 clear points taking us into the 2nd tier for the first time. It didn''t last though.

Steady On... 0 Posted September 11, 2012 My point is when the question is clearly what is the biggest achievement for norwich city2009/2010 - league one season promotion2010/2011 - championship season promotion 2011/2012 - premier league year one2012/2013 - potential second year in premOnly the pinkun boys.

Google Bot 3,262 Posted September 11, 2012 It''s very hard to pick out of the those as they all depend on each other to happen, like a domino effect.i.e. what we done in league one was carried on into the championship, and subsequently to where we are now.There''s a part of me that would pick the league one win, i had massive fears that we were about to fold as a club at the start of the season... Then ''that'' match, and i never want to feel that low about Norwich again.Watching us rise from the near-ashes was amazing! And it was an eye opener to lower league football.However, all the last minute goals in the championship season - wow! What a ride. For me this is our best season from the list... i think! :)With, League one second, and premiership last for me.However, as silly as it sounds, If we were at the bottom end of the prem last season and rescued it at the end, then i would probably say that was our best achievement. I suppose drama comes into how you perceive things?Mid table, as great as it is, doesn''t really get me too excited i''m afraid to say.Aw man.. what a tough question! I fell bad for not going for the prem season now, as statistically that''s our best achievement. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
