jaemae2 0 Posted July 12, 2014 [quote user="kick it off"][quote user="jaemae2"]Paul Hayes also "banged them in" 1 year in the Championship too. He also is of great quality and a great striker. You may not want to talk about IQ fella, as you aren''t bright.[/quote] Which year was that then? I just looked up his career stats and he''s never banged them in in the Champs. You''re life must be pretty $hit if all you have to do is troll opposition supporters making up "facts"....[/quote]He scored 14 the year Hooper scored 19 with Scunthorpe, moron.

jaemae2 0 Posted July 12, 2014 If 19 is banging them in, 14 is as well. My point being 1 good year in a league doesn''t mean he''s doing it again, and honestly Hayes is a better striker than Hooper, and he was garbage outside of that 1 year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hooper, in comparison, scored all 19 goals that you mentioned in the league. If we include his cup competition goal, he scored 20.Their overall scoring records from that 2009/10 season were:Hooper- 39 appearances total (league, FA cup and league cup) 20 goals or one goal every 1.95 games.Hayes- 51 appearances total, 13 goals or one goal every 3.92 gamesSo which one is better?

jaemae2 0 Posted July 13, 2014 I never tried to disguise it ever. My whole point of bringing Hayes up, is that 1 good season in the Championship doesn''t mean it will be repeated when you aren''t good at soccer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard you put it between two buns, covered it in ketchup and told your sister it was a hotdog and she should "lick the sauce off". Alright, it was a $hit disguise, but a disguise nonetheless.

star_manic 0 Posted July 13, 2014 There is a saying " never argue with an idiot, he will only bring you down to his level and win by experience ". There appears to be a lot of this going on on this board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 13, 2014 Does anybody really believe honestly that the Dereham match was other than a training stint with the opposition in a different strip?To even be judging any player or the team on this type of game, especially when it is the first one, is pointless.

Waveney Canary 0 Posted July 13, 2014 If we can''t get 7 or 8 past a team like Dereham we are bang in trouble.We are doomed under the radio commentator. Why can''t people see it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why can''t people see it![/quote]Yes , we usually score for fun in this type of pre season fixture and the alarm bells must be already ringing . Adams also saying we have had no acceptable bids for our better players screams out the if you want them bid enough and they are yours message to other managers.Why can''t people see it ? most can but feel they have to go along with what the club has done anyway and make the best of it , i can assure you if we had appointed Jimmy Krankie as manager the reaction would have been no different on here .I bet Mick McCarthy and all down at Portman Road are rubbing their hands with glee at Adams appointment , they know that for the first time in 5 years they are probably going to turn us over and finish above us .And to think Neil Lennon was available , just makes no sense .

norfolkngood 1,103 Posted July 13, 2014 I agree it was only like a training match but dereham are part time would not have had a diet over the summer and training plans drawn out for them over the summer so with general fitness a massive plus for Norwich then quality of our players as well you would expect even in a training match to score more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,457 Posted July 13, 2014 Agree with others that Lafferty could be a pleasant surprise this season.Routine finish yesterday but if you check out this video at around 40 seconds you can see he''s more than just a big lumphttp://www.thefa.com/st-georges-park/discover/coaching/fa-learning-news/2014/norwich-city-sports-science-nick-davies(Sorry for no true link but this website hates chrome) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,457 Posted July 13, 2014 If anyone is bothered, Man City are currently 2-0 down (and pretty much deserve to be) at Dundee in their first friendly of pre-season.Wonder what odds you could get on them going down ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
