i'm just bored

[Houston Canary 0]

IF, I agree the first half was dull for anyone but the second half was electric.

Ricardo, it''s your opinion vs mine. I''ve seen some very exciting action packed games with lower half teams and likewise some utterly boring ones with top teams. Our games have been boring almost every time. The others rise above and provide excitement much more often. WBA vs Villa, anyone?

[quote user="ricardo"][quote user="Houston Canary"]Chops, I''ve seen some very exciting games involving Villa, crystal Palace, west Brom, Soton, Wham and others this season.

How many of our games would a fan of a team not involved in the game call his friends and say, Wow, did you see that Norwich game?

The win over Wham and .........[/quote]I watched Palace v W Ham a few weeks back and it was the most dire pile of dross I''ve seen in years. I often watch other games on Sky and on streams and can''t honestly say any of those between the lower half teams are any better than what we see at CR. It''s the same everywhere in the lower half of the Premier, nothing to play for except survival and every team more concerned with not losing than winning.If you can''t learn to love the struggle then perhaps the Championship is the place to be but then we would soon be skint again and lurch from crisis to crisis.[/quote]i watched that game as well and whilst the quality wasn''t great the atmosphere was electric and the place was bouncing, Tony Pulis has galvanised that team and at least they look like they know what they are doing and there is some sort of game plan... and all of the crowd are up for it, I wish carrow road could be like that again... you don''t need quality  for excitement and we have neither [:(]

The win over Wham and .........[/quote]Your mileage may vary. I''ve seen nothing from Villa or Palace to get me even remotely excited, never mind call up my friends and say "wow".

Off the top of my limited head, Chops, the Villa - WBA game was thrilling. I can''t recall who it was against but a home game for Palace early on was also electric. I''ve only seen non-Norwich teams a time or 2 each, maybe 3, but plenty of them have been interesting and entertaining competitive matches.

The quality isn''t necessarily what makes the game entertaining, ricardo. It''s the amount of action and pace. Both teams going for it with abandon.

When that''s happening the crowd reacts and it''s entertaining. To me.

To each his own.
