"Theo was 17 and had never played a single Premier League game and had not grown like Wilshere has now. Wilshere will come in and out of the [Arsenal] team [from now on]; he'll play in the Champions League and the championship."

On the field and outside as well - because your mind is always thinking as to why you don't play. Why is this? Why is that? But I just need to keep going; keep strong. Because in football you can be out for four, five and six games and then you can be ready; scoring goals and helping your team win." Mon, 17 Nov 2008 18:22:56 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4292 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4292 If, immediately after the AGM, anyone was in doubt about just how long and painful this season was going to be they only needed to wait a few days until just gone 4pm on Saturday afternoon. A shocked, baffled and angry Carrow Road watched in disbelief as we fell to pieces in a way that is hard to express in the written word... Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:46:50 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4291 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4291 "If people phone us about one or two people, then maybe with having a few first-team players back to fitness, loans might be a possibility for one or two of them," revealed the Newcastle Ressie boss. "But they can only win loan deals though their performances in the reserves." Sun, 16 Nov 2008 23:30:45 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4289 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4289 "It is galling when you only take one point from two home games when you could have quite easily - and I'm not exaggerating - have taken six," said the City chief. "But we didn't. And we know that. And we have to find the strength of character to carry on working hard and not lose belief in themselves."

What happened next has only been revealed since Boothroyd's departure. You can draw your own parallels and conclusions.

"This is an injury that if you're not prepared to put the work in, you won't make a full recovery. He must realise that and work harder than he's ever worked in his life." TOM HAYLETT reports. Fri, 14 Nov 2008 13:12:24 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4285 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4285 At boardroom level and given the current financial climate, I wouldn't hold out much hope for a knight in shining armour riding to the rescue and lavishing untold millions on the club - even if football's 'Mr. Fixit' and match-maker extraordinaire Keith Harris is under orders to get out there and do his stuff. Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:29:06 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4283 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4283 Roeder refused to give a precise timetable to his recovery time until after the surgeons had done their work. That said, most would reckon on at least six months for a ruptured cruciate which with the very fairest of winds would put Stefanovic's return back to the beginning of May...

"And he's got all the makings of being able to sustain the physical demands of the senior game. But, like I just said, he will need a little bit of patience to maybe fulfill his full potential.

"A lot of people watch football and the interest in football in the Gulf states is immeasurable." Wed, 12 Nov 2008 22:51:46 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4280 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4280 "I have been able to demonstrate that if you do it correctly, the club should generate sufficient cash to fund itself, so having bought it you shouldn't have to put more money in unless you choose to," Harris told The Guardian. "And you can generate a return of 5-10% in the value of the club every year over a period of seven to 10 years."

"I would make the same decision today - football is all about opinions. And the bottom line is that the football opinion that counts at this football club at this moment in time is mine." Wed, 12 Nov 2008 10:26:36 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4278 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4278 "It's become clear that Peter Cullum appears to have no interest in making an offer for Delia and Michael's shareholding and so for some time now Keith [Harris] and another firm have been working on trying to find new investment to bring into Norwich City Football Club," said Doncaster tonight. Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:45:45 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4277 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4277 We have, after all, never been in the position before where a bone fide 'billionaire' of the Towergate chief's ilk has been stalking the club in the long grass. There was their big, shining, white hope - the hope and the promise of better times that you turned away from the door... Tue, 11 Nov 2008 16:02:41 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4275 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4275 "That was what was unusual about it," added the Canary boss. "That he didn't pull the trigger when he had the chance to... But I wouldn't balme that on not scoring a goal for a while or not playing for a while. Playing football is an instinct... Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:29:24 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4271 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=4271 "He's still our loan player until the first of January," revealed the City chief. "But the level of football he was getting here, we couldn't match what he was getting at Tottenham. For instance, when he went back he played against Middlesbrough and then he travelled on and played Celtic Reserves... And I think that week we were playing Southend Reserves...

"For all the lads in there, it feels like we've lost - the disappointment; the frustration... Everyone's just fuming with the result after a good 75 minutes; then Rusty got sent off and it changed the game."

To that end, our failure to beat Preston evened up our lucky victory over Doncaster and reaffirmed our place as a bottom-third team within the Championship. Sun, 09 Nov 2008 21:31:11 GMT
