Phil Boyers Admiral top 0 Posted April 15, 2014 Totally agree.This season should be a lesson to all Norwich fans - don''t be so nice in the future. McSally gets paid a lot of money to run our club successfully and we should have been more demanding after the Xmas debacle. Whoever hit CH with one of those ridiculous clackers should get a free season ticket because it polarised our feelings to a board that just didn''t seem to care. At least the clackers became useful for something - an irony I hope is not lost on McSally, who encouraged them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palace obviously wasn''t the only, or even the main thing Seattle (a Norwich lad displaced, not a Yank, so calm the resentment down, pants wetters) (HAH!, the irony!) got right. He stood his ground and got hammered for it by the know-nothing know-it-all''s so give him the pat on the back he deserves.

Treating people with disdain and lack of class has. Real Americans can be crass by nature. Some wannabes put it on so they can appear to fit in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,539 Posted April 15, 2014 Marvelous stuff. A post recognising the honour of two good posters has been the catalyst for all the entertainment that followed including a spectacular show of effin'' and jeffin'' from Seattle[:@], Houston proving once again he''s this forum''s top comic[*-)] and the usual fantastic contributions from Lakey, The Butler et al. But this shouldn''t take away from the honourable bet made and settled between Morty and Sparto where Rays Funds will be the beneficiary. Of course we all had an opinion about it back at the time the bet was struck. Seattle proudly tries to lay claim to it and yet like the rest of us on this thread he somehow neglected to become involved in the wager that followed. But Seattle and the rest of us can become honourable men like Morty and Sparto now. And this is how... With just 4 games to go there are outcomes up for debate. Will Norwich win another game? If you''re confident make a pledge to Rays funds that they will or they won''t. Same deal for will we stay up? Make a pledge if you''re confident either way. There''s so many angles. Outcomes still to be settled that polarise opinions on here. Of course it doesn''t have to be twenty quid. Morty and Sparto set that between themselves. Tenners are just as useful. Rays funds is unique in that it belongs to this online football community. Whist having fun on here PUPs can do a bit of good at the same time. Anyway, I''ll start the ball rolling by saying I believe RVW will score another goal from open play in these last 4 games. If he fails to do so I will give £20 to Rays funds. Over to you guys....

[/quote]What the h*ll. I am game for this. It may make the end of the season bearable![:''(] I made only two predictions before the start of the season. That Hooper would score more Premier League goals than van Wolfswinkel, and that we would stay up.So if either of those doesn''t come true I will send £10 each to the fund. I supect that will be £10 at most, but if nothing at all then we will be very happy anyway.And, to take on nutty, IF van Wolfswinkel does score any kind of goal (including own goals, just to give him a slight chance[;)]) then I will hand over £20 for that.
