WE MEET AGAIN… SUNDERLAND

9th March 2023 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

Next up, on Sunday, it’s a footballing giant with six top-flight titles and a couple of FA Cups in the bag. So famous they even had their own Netflix documentary. Yes, a club we have a deep-rooted and unusual friendship with – Sunderland AFC. There’s only one place to start when talking Norwich and Sunderland. […]

WE MEET AGAIN… MILLWALL

2nd March 2023 By Allan Kemp 1 Comment

Be it the Old or the New Den, like this Saturday, games against Millwall hold plenty of happy memories for the boys in yellow and green. The most recent meeting between the two came earlier this season when, on a Friday night in front of the Sky cameras, Josh Sargent’s brace saw City through to […]

WE MEET AGAIN… BRISTOL CITY

9th February 2023 By Allan Kemp 5 Comments

It is one of England’s largest cities and home to two professional football clubs but neither Bristol City nor their city neighbours, Rovers have played in the Premier League. The closest Saturday’s opponents have come was a play-off final defeat in 2008. Norwich’s first visit meeting with Bristol City was at Ashton Gate way back […]

WE MEET AGAIN… BURNLEY

2nd February 2023 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

Norwich and Burnley have often found themselves on contrasting paths although over the last decade, our yo-yo existence has meant we have met on several occasions. For most of our early days, City were marooned in the lower leagues, namely the Division Three South, while Burnley were regulars in the top division, winning it in […]

WE MEET AGAIN… COVENTRY CITY

19th January 2023 By Allan Kemp 4 Comments

Next up for Norwich, a team that plays in sky blue but isn’t Manchester City. FA Cup winners in recent memory, once top-flight regulars and Premier League founder members, Coventry City fell on hard times and, prior to returning last season to the CBS Arena, spent eight homeless seasons bouncing around the lower leagues. But […]

WE MEET AGAIN … BLACKBURN ROVERS

15th December 2022 By Allan Kemp 4 Comments

It’s hard to believe now, but City’s next opponents can boast a Premier League title. The 1994-95 season was a historic season for Blackburn Rovers, while for Norwich it signalled the end of ten consecutive years in the top division. Rovers were themselves relegated, among growing fan/ownership tensions, in 2012 and have not since come […]

WE MEET AGAIN… MIDDLESBROUGH

10th November 2022 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

Saturday’s opponents need no introduction. We played them in one of the greatest games in our club’s long history. Think Middlesbrough and your mind will be cast back to a glorious day in the Wembley sunshine. It was a day when Norwich played with confidence and style in front of a yellow wall numbering 40,000. […]

WE MEET (YET) AGAIN… WATFORD

14th October 2022 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

When City beat Watford 3-0 at Vicarage Road in late January of this year, Roy Hodgson was holding the yellow and black reins. When we played them earlier in that same season, Xisco Muñoz was in charge, and between those two games, Claudio Ranieri made a brief appearance in the Hornets’ dugout. Since then, Rob […]

WE MEET AGAIN… PRESTON NORTH END

7th October 2022 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

The first ever Norwich v Preston fixture took place on 11th November 1961, a routine 2-0 win for City. It was Preston’s first season since the retirement of footballing legend Sir Tom Finney. It was a fixture that would become a regular feature in the Division Two calendar over the next decade. Incidentally, we have […]

WE MEET AGAIN… READING

4th October 2022 By Allan Kemp 1 Comment

Tuesday night and the Championship’s relentless march continues to a town where I lived for a decade, Reading – a team managed between 2019 and 2020 by Norwich City Hall of Famer, and arguably Norwich’s greatest-ever left-back, Mark Bowen.  Our first meeting with Reading came in the 1908-09 FA Cup. The two were drawn in […]

WE MEET AGAIN… BLACKPOOL

29th September 2022 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

We come across many familiar faces when we (almost inevitably) return to the Championship but this being football, there are always a few new(ish) faces and, as such, offers an opportunity for a brief return to our ‘We Meet Again’ series. So, if you’re one who enjoys footballing nostalgia, join us on a trip down […]

WE MEET AGAIN… BIRMINGHAM CITY

29th August 2022 By Allan Kemp 2 Comments

Next up for the Canaries is a trip to the second city under-achievers Birmingham City and a return to a Championship staple – the midweek away fixture. When thinking back to past games between the two it is hard to look beyond the Play-off final of 2002 but as we shall see there have been […]

WE MEET AGAIN… SUNDERLAND

26th August 2022 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

The Premier League dream is over (again!). City are back in the Championship and it’s a very familiar fixture list that the Canaries face in 2022-23.  But this being football, there will be a few new(ish) faces and, as such, an opportunity for a brief return of ‘We Meet Again’ – the series that looks […]

WE MEET (YET) AGAIN… BOURNEMOUTH

22nd August 2022 By Allan Kemp 2 Comments

Given the amount of times we’ve crossed paths with the darlings of the south coast over the last few seasons, you may well have already read Allan’s potted history of our clashes, but just in case you haven’t… … Much of our history against Bournemouth takes place in the old Third Division South and pre […]

WE MEET AGAIN… MILLWALL

18th August 2022 By Allan Kemp 1 Comment

Be it the new or the old Den, or at Carrow Road, like Friday, games against Millwall hold plenty of happy memories for the boys in yellow and green. One of the most important came on our visit to Millwall during the run-in in 2018-19 when captain Christoph Zimmermann’s bullet header led the Canaries to […]

15th August 2022 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

The Premier League dream is over… again. City find themselves back in the familiar terrain of the Championship and a new fixture list full of old friends and foes. In ‘We Meet Again’ we look back at previous clashes between Norwich City and our upcoming Championship opponents. Big games, historic matches, significant milestones, and player […]

WE MEET AGAIN… CARDIFF CITY

28th July 2022 By Allan Kemp Leave a Comment

So, here we go again, starting with a trip to South Wales. To kick things off, what better way than to revisit Allan’s ‘We Meet Again…’ series, where he takes us back to battles of old with our latest opponents. Also, don’t forget to have a listen to ‘Al and Val’s We Meet Again’ podcast […]

Granted I no longer go to #ncfc matches, and I’m all for atmosphere at the football. However, what’s with the term ‘elite’? Alluding to one group of fans being better than the other! I’m sure it’s not meant like that but it is what it is

Norwich City stumbled their way to the international break, picking up just two points from their last three matches. 😬

Despite that, the Canaries are only three points behind sixth-placed Millwall. 👀

Canaries fans, will you finish inside the play-off places? 🤔

Sad to see #socceram getting axed after 30 years. It was fun to be a part of it with #ncfc in 2007.

With us suspending our strike action, it now means it’ll be easier for #ncfc fans to attend the Sheffield United game. Sorry 😉
