  Worry over nothing?

  I don’t talk about the good bits of our side on here, Fox aside naturally, but I guess the clue is in the title that that was never the point. But we’ll break form now that someone’s remembered Zak is out of contract in the summer. He doesn’t have too much to worry about, he’s going nowhere. Do...

  Johnson, Fox and Frustration

  There was a fair amount of discontent in the aftermath of the Stoke game, a fair bit aimed at Bradley Johnson. But, it was a given that the 50p-footed-one was going to starting against Stoke, after all, he’s a bit of a unit. The stat of choice at the beginning of the season that he ran a lot ap...

  Step up, Wilba?

  We all love a good bandwagon, the latest is to grumble about Morison’s uninterested demeanour being in absolute contrast to that of Wilbrahamovic. It is be difficult to argue with it. This Stoke game couldn’t have come at a better time for the ex-MK man either. Without wanting to resort to hump...

  Only the Beginning

  We’re still not safe. Despite what you’ll be told by most it’s not mathematically a done deal so we shouldn’t be taking owt for granted. But still, Wolves and Wigan are a blueprint we should do our best to avoid. They’ve been up a few years now, in fact Wolves have been there or thereabouts for...

  Wembley’s too expensive anyway

  Yes, we were dire and priority remains being at worst 17th. We’re told we’re safe, and it’s pretty difficult to disagree, but I won’t truly be comfortable until the maths say so. The added bonus of the cup run was exactly that and Bolton and Stoke have extra games now to pick up injuries and wha...

  S-whatever

  So it’s back across the border to them there in Wales. Hopefully there’ll be no bricks through any coach windows, but Holt appears to have ignited that again. But anyway. As pointed out over on Holtamania, a Swansea win puts them above us in the league. And that’s annoying. Mainly, because we ...

  Sitting Pretty?

  It’s worth remembering that while the January window “slams” shut, it’s a full month. And ours was a success amid all the boredom. Somehow Twitter was awash with bemusement over the Bennett deal. We signed him, Swansea didn’t. We have cover at centre-back and another one on the road back from ...

  Jonny’s a Good’un

  So we’ve finally had it made official, Howson’s finally confirmed. The rumoured £750k plus add ons is a bit of a bargain, but then Leeds weren’t exactly in a position to barter for a higher price. Out of contract at the end of the season, and the little problem going by the name of Ken Bates. Th...

  Priorities Right

  So it seems Lambert is at a bit of a loose end in this transfer window. Aside from the stock “the lads need a hand” and “they’ve done brilliant for me” (“How far we’ve come” was the only real notable absentee), the most important thing he said was regarding squad players and not signing them. U...

  Dosed up on humble pie

  Last week I wrote that I would happily fall at the usual first (third) hurdle in the cup but when we went two goals to the good I have to admit I weakly fell for the drama of a cup run. Fickle, I know. But if we’re going to go for a cup run we may as well do it in that kind of style. (Although i...

  Kyle No-ton?

  So Naughton’s not been allowed to stay out to play at Carra past May. It’s safe to say that’s a blow. But, nevertheless, he’s here until the end of the season so it’s not all bad. It presumably means the money we had intended to put aside for the impressive full-back is now available to be spen...

  Do us a Favour, Burnley?

  Unless we’ve all forgotten, Norwich have a game to go and lose at the weekend. Yes, I know it’s nice to matter. It’s nice to be the talk of the town, table and darts but we’ve got a cup to gracefully bow out of. Let’s be honest, the last thing we need is a cup run getting in the way taking up...

  What a big few games coming up, eh? Ignoring Spurs, they’re all very winnable, starting tonight. A good Christmas and we could be almost comfortable going into January. Not that any chickens are being counted or laurels are being rested on, mind. Wolves will be looking at tonight as equally as...

  Heads we win

  Having a quick nose around the previews of today’s game, one thing from the BBC one stuck out. Aside from the token patronising head ruffling, the match facts at the bottom surprised me. Not the one that says we’ve allowed the more shots at our goal than everyone but Bolton but that “Norwich ha...

  Plus

  One of the best things about the City games is that it’s over. We weren’t expecting anything and we didn’t get anything. It feels odd to be nonplussed by a 5-1 defeat. But, ne’er mind. Another plus point from it is that we don’t have to visit Maine-Eastlands-Etihad Road again this season, that ...

  Style over Substance

  Talk about contrast. QPR followed by Man City, granted they’re both in the money but still. Going from keeping an eye on Shaun Derry to David Silva is the proverbial chalk and cheese. I quite like going into a game thinking but not worrying, “meh we’re expected to be battered.” I don’t like tha...

  All a Bit Necessary

  With Coo-Pee-Arr in town, it seems like it could be a good chance to find a bit of rhythm and momentum again. We’ve been playing well in fits and starts, not the flowing destruction of before. Obviously the quality of the opposition has been higher than what the squad Sir Paul’s designed is used...

  Get in early

  The success of an excuse is usually determined by how early you get them in. Wenger’s dropped in a hint at what’s to come if they fall prey to us on Saturday- we only had three players go away to play with the bigger boys, Arsenal had fifteen. Well, Arsene, who’s fault is that? This can only m...

  Good ideas

  So it seems Super Chrissy Martin’s fallen off the selection board to a point where he’s available for other teams to select. I’m sure your mate down the pub’s mother’s friend-from-work’s son’s best mate’s brother knows why that’s so, but it’s a weird one. When The Big Wilba is ahead of you in t...

  It’s been a while since I’ve been able to sit down and bore you all with my musings. Luckily for you that little hiatus should be over now. It’s probably not the best weekend to find time to start rabbiting about Norwich though, what with this International break an’all that. Anyway, we’ll trud...

  Making Noises

  As usual, all the right noises are coming out of Carra and Colney. We’ve grown to accept it as normal, but it wasn’t too long ago that we were always told how unlucky we had been regardless of performance. Or how rubbish we were and how rubbish we, the fans, were. But we’ve finally got someone...

  Out of Nowhere

  Going into the last three games, we’d have all taken four points. Mission accomplished, if tinged with a hint of what could have been. The patronising is even becoming bearable. Us coming away from with our hair being ruffled by the ‘Experts’ in the media is nothing if not tedious. On the othe...

  Hark at us flying along?! Three points against Swansea, or more importantly no points for Swansea, and we’re in the top half of the table, best of the new boys and above Arsenal. Heck, it’s only October but still, we can be excused for enjoying the moment a little. You never know we may neve...

  These international break don’t half get in the way. Especially since the one man who appeared to need a rest most was busy laying on goals for ‘his’ country. It also leaves the rest of us twiddling our thumbs a tad, especially it seems if your job is to report the happenings at Our Fine Club....
