mrs miggins 0 Posted February 17, 2014 you''re right there. The only thing i enjoy watching when i get the chance is the ice hockey. You get some close shaves there.Can''t stand the curling. It''s like they realise bowls is $hit so they think its gonna be better on ice...it''s not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Calle 16 Posted February 17, 2014 The winter olympics is one of this years highligts here in Sweden, especially since we missed out on the world cup in brazil. The crosscountry skiing relay was awsome, and now the last 8 playoff rounds in the hockeytournament will be really exiting to watch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unique 434 Posted February 17, 2014 If you class snowboarding cross or short-track speed skating as boring, then watching a team coached by Hughton must be akin to watching snail racing........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,586 Posted February 17, 2014 I would''ve watched it if Amy Williams and Lindsey Vonn were competing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hughtons P45.2 0 Posted February 17, 2014 Bobsleigh, skeleton bob, snow boarding (yesterday), luge, ski slope freestyle was good last week! Also the ski jumping on now is alright aswell. All in all I think it''s been quite entertaining other than team G.B''S abysmal 2 man bob runs. That giant game of pools quite boring tho (curling) still i''ll watch it when it''s G.B depending what other events are on the red button. It''s a shame we don''t have more competitor''s for the events aswell. First time I''ve ever seen the luge team relay 1st was lady in skeleton bob, then the two man and finally the solo man slides. Moguls was interesting a British lad came 4th but he ski''s for France as there''s no trainer for it in the uk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Houston Canary 0 Posted February 17, 2014 Ice volleyball! HAH! Canadians love curling. Most important at the Olympics is obviously hockey but they feel very off put if they don''t at least make the finals in curling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doom, gloom, woe is me.If we are to get out of this lowly position it is just as well we are showing signs of improvements - because we need those improvements to make sure we continue to create chances. If we do that at least the strikers will get the chances to put one or two away - and we have a chance to move away from the bottom three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unique 434 Posted February 18, 2014 It''s not about ignoring improvements - it''s the realisation that Norwich have far less time than other PL teams to win a match.If Norwich haven''t scored within the first 70 minutes of any game, then it''s 100% guaranteed that Hughton hasn''t the managerial ability to make the necessary changes to affect the outcome............
