Championship blues for the Canaries but the wheels are already turning for more colourful times ahead

11th May 2017 By Russell Saunders 19 Comments

The Galway Roast stand sponsorship affair was a telling omen for events to come with indecision and poor decisions on and off the pitch putting the kibosh on the season. Instead of a promotion celebration, we were left to console ourselves with a meaty win over QPR .

Norwich's new Mr. Moxey: A smooth operator? A villain of the piece? Or the victim of City's financial limits?

7th September 2016 By Russell Saunders 16 Comments

One reader comment from last week was that the ‘CV’ of the new CEO Jez Moxey hadn’t been discussed here – an indication that myself and others at MyFootballWriter are too close to the official club line and unwilling to be critical of its actions.

With an enforced break on the pitch, it's the state-of-play off the pitch that now grips the faithful

1st September 2016 By Russell Saunders 35 Comments

I appreciate I might be in the minority here, but I think we’ve had a good summer with reasonably-priced incoming talent and having held on to one or two who most thought would be out of Norfolk faster than you can say Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Defensive solidity and points over performance are paramount at this time of year as City head to the second city

26th August 2016 By Russell Saunders 3 Comments

Never the most ostentatious of celebrators, if Cam does find the back of the Brummie net you can bet a low key reaction from him will be the order of the day in due deference to the home fans who once cheered his efforts on their behalf.

Farewell Ricky- let's hope for a happy ending for our Wolf who was more bad than big during his stay

29th July 2016 By Russell Saunders 7 Comments

Despite finding an uncritical niche personal fan club – seemingly for his good looks and hairstyle – a handful of first-team outings and a single league goal is a shocking return on the record transfer fee paid in the now defunct McNally/Hughton era.

Swapping the yellow and green for blue rarely works out well but we can 'occasionally' be a forgiving lot

16th July 2016 By Russell Saunders 9 Comments

Louie’s fellow Milk Cup Final winning colleague John ‘Dixie’ Deehan did the unthinkable and moved straight from the Canaries to the Tractor boys in an exchange deal which saw Trevor Putney make the opposite journey. Deehan must have taken serious flak for that move

A 'double bounce-back' the goal as the tremors of last season subside and thoughts turn to new fixtures

25th June 2016 By Russell Saunders 3 Comments

I’m guessing that Mick McCarthy has one last shot at getting that club into the top flight. He surely won’t want to hang around any longer in the Championship working on a shoestring? He will be desperate to avenge the three defeats of 2014/15.

A personal A-Z of people, events and emotions that were to define a rotten 2015-16 for the Canaries

30th May 2016 By Russell Saunders 9 Comments

C is for clappers. Once again their presence failed to save us. In the hands of Leicester fans, they are seen as a wonderful expression of passionate fandom; in our hands, a source of great mirth to radio/TV commentators and pundits. Please let’s consign them to the bin of history.

Little love for Rooney but can Utd's "inferior" opponents pull off a double and twist the Van Gaal knife?

5th May 2016 By Russell Saunders Leave a Comment

“Some fans had enough of Van Gaal by the end of last season. December 2015 was when I thought the club should have called it a day…”

From Highbury to Morgan to Simeone. A Cultured Left Foot gives us a glimpse behind the Emirates unrest

29th April 2016 By Russell Saunders 6 Comments

“Is it dull at Arsenal now? Painfully so. It’s not the fourth place finish itself, it’s the manner we end up there, it’s the nature of the Round of Sixteen exits in the Champions League. Good or average, we will lose the home leg with an irretrievable deficit for the second leg.”

As City walk the fine line of Prem safety, it comes down to that balance between defence and attack

26th March 2016 By Russell Saunders 1 Comment

We have scored more than Watford, more than West Brom who are safe as houses and only two less than Stoke who have an outside sniff of a top six finish.

Time for City to step up to the plate, exorcise the 'Midlands blues' and put one foot firmly on the safety ladder

18th March 2016 By Russell Saunders 3 Comments

What glimmer of hope was gained from that precious point cleaved off a Manchester City side in the dying embers of the Pellegrini era, has to provide the spark. The Canaries have to go on a run of point gathering, one which has sorely eluded them since 2nd January.

Embarrassing? It's not been the season we'd wished for but count to ten and choose your words carefully

15th March 2016 By Russell Saunders 20 Comments

The point gained from the Abu Dhabi All Stars was a magnificent team effort displaying all the qualities desired for, with the exception of more attacking threat maybe.

A "funny old game" it may be, but the Canaries need to discover some serious form starting tomorrow

4th March 2016 By Russell Saunders 2 Comments

At least after the narrow and mighty unlucky defeats to the current leaders and defending champions (worth putting those losses into their deserved context), Neil seems to have at last found a system that suits and the players seem comfortable with.

Next up its (sort of) Boudicca v Richard III. Now to fight and bury the ghosts of those past away defeats

25th February 2016 By Russell Saunders 4 Comments

With 12 games to go, we sit six points better off than Leicester at the same point last season – with a similar goal difference – yet we seem to be everyone’s favourites for the drop, much as our opponents almost certainly were then.

Thirty-five years since his time at Carrow Road, but Fash will always bring a broad smile to City faces

22nd February 2016 By Russell Saunders 6 Comments

Some of those goals can be dug up online with a bit of a struggle but what I recall about the Fash was his raw power and athleticism, the like of which had not been seen or is yet to be matched in a City striker of such a young age.

After the 'Chiller at the Villa', can Alex find the right plot for a gripping great escape ending?

9th February 2016 By Russell Saunders 7 Comments

Our new loanee Patrick Bamford was drawn to come to Norwich for the rest of the season because of limited opportunities at Palace but more specifically because of the “total football” which he saw first-hand at Wembley

Lessons to be learnt from the last time our boys took Villa Park by storm and departed with maximum points

5th February 2016 By Russell Saunders 6 Comments

Times and fashions have changed greatly since then but when football is boiled down to the bare essentials, it was and still is about sticking the ball in the back of the net more times than your opponent.

As the new squad takes shape, the exit of Master Hooper ends a less than stellar stay in Norfolk

26th January 2016 By Russell Saunders 12 Comments

No question, he is a very good poacher from within the five to ten yard range and has the occasional belter from further out in his locker. His two recent goals for Wednesday against Leeds were ‘classic’ Hooper. Others did the work and he pounced on the scraps from short range.

The Prem can be ugly and harshly unforgiving but it's better to be inside looking out than outside looking in

20th January 2016 By Russell Saunders 6 Comments

The disappointing loss at Bournemouth seems to have stirred up emotions to fever pitch. If you took the time and trouble to travel down for the match, then you have every right to air your grievances albeit in a polite and humorous manner.
