Why now is the perfect opportunity to freshen things up ahead of the final run in…

February 11th, 2010 by Tom Haylett | Comments Off

Millwall look a racing certainly for the play-offs at least and as many predicted, they are having an extremely strong second half of the season, so there is no shame in losing at the New Den.

Expect more clubs to come sniffing if Lambert keeps this up. 10/10 so far…

January 13th, 2010 by Tom Haylett | Comments Off

It’s not just the turnaround that has been remarkable – doesn’t that 7-1 defeat to Colchester seem an age ago? – it’s the speed at which Paul Lambert has transformed Norwich from a club in crisis into promotion favourites in a matter of months.

Big, big Terriers win means City fans can tuck into their turkey in good spirits

December 23rd, 2009 by Tom Haylett | Comments Off

It’s Millwall next up for City on Boxing Day and another chance to rack up another three points and an eighth successive home win. The Londoners will, however, be in good spirits after earning a 4-4 draw at The Valley and I expect Kenny Jackett’s men to be strong during the second half of the season.

Norfolk-Essex relations hit new low after petty Cowling statement..

December 17th, 2009 by Tom Haylett | Comments Off

They would have had no problem selling 3,000 tickets – which is what Leeds got I’m told – for League One’s East Anglian derby, but obviously that is now not going to be the case.

Don't expect too much transfer activity in January. Speculation on the other hand…

December 9th, 2009 by Tom Haylett | Comments Off

Paul Lambert admitted that ‘the fans would probably burn the place down’ if he was a sell a prized asset and even though the red tops will have a snippet or two containing the words Holt or Hoolahan, both players seem happy to stay in Norfolk.

Who'll last the distance, who won't? It's all hotting up in League One

December 3rd, 2009 by Tom Haylett | Comments Off

It’s the automatic promotion places which will be concerning the Canary nation – and if they keep heading north at the current rate, Norfolk may well be celebrating a return to the Championship at the first time of asking.

Hughes out, Russell in? Plenty to ponder as Lambert prepares for Addicks clash

September 13th, 2009 by Latest News | Comments Off

“His [Russell's] fitness is certainly not up to speed yet but he can play the game. If he starts, we don’t know how long we’ll get out of him or how long his injury will last so it is a risk. But we’ve not got too many options at the minute.” TOM HAYLETT reports.

Disgraceful scenes at Upton Park make you grateful we watch our football at Carrow Road

August 26th, 2009 by Tom Haylett | Comments Off

A lot has already been said on the matter since West Ham and Millwall's 'supporters' decided to lock horns last night in what was a worrying throwback to the 80s.

But at times like this, you always wonder whether football has the potential to slip back into the dark ages, where scenes like last night's in East London were commonplace.

The clubs � and the FA to be fair � have put a hell of a lot of work in since the late 70s and early 80s. CCTV ensures …

To claim or not to claim? Which camp are you in?

May 29th, 2009 by Tom Haylett | Comments Off

To claim or not to claim? That is the question on many Canary fans' lips this week as the club made a heartfelt plea for supporters to pump their season ticket rebate back into the club.

There will always be two sides to this argument. And, at the end of the day, no one is right and no one is wrong. It is up to the individual. But the club have to be careful.

In my opinion, they shouldn't even be asking fans not to claim their rebate. If a fan decides not to …

City will need to play smart if they are to bag the points on derby day…

April 17th, 2009 by Tom Haylett | Comments Off

It would be wrong of me to talk about anything else I guess. But this season, more than any other, there is a bigger picture.

It's not just about bragging rights, or the 'Pride of Anglia' title; the three points on offer at Portman Road on Sunday are potentially lifesaving for the Canaries.

Monday's set of results gave City new impetus going into one of the biggest East Anglian derbies for years ? well, for the yellow half of the region anyway. And, I …
