Friends Pep Guardiola and Daniel Farke were keen to praise each other’s work in their pre-match press conferences but asserted that it’s business as usual come 3pm tomorrow. “Daniel is an exceptional manager,” said Guardiola of his Norfolk counterpart. “I enjoy a lot watching his teams play. They have the quality and this is a […]

There may not be any signing that excites less than a backup full-back.  Perhaps that particular accolade is commonly taken by a second choice goalkeeper but Stuart Webber has managed to bring excitement even to that signing to City fans this summer. In fact, there’s generally been a great deal of anticipation around every signing […]

Norwich City’s 2021/22 season already has a sense of theatre about it, the feeling of an era-defining battle in the final of a series of blockbuster films. The following ten months will define whether the Webber and Farke era is remembered as the greatest in the club’s history or a tale of what could’ve been. […]

The opposition may have the same coloured shirts, we may go in as big underdogs once again, the game may be the same, but the atmosphere will be totally different. While last time around City faced the pressure of the largest crowd they’d played in front of as a team, in 2021 it’s the weight […]

It’s safe to say that Christos Tzolis’ arrival at Carrow Road has been eagerly anticipated, and there must be a reason for all the fanfare. So, what convinced Stuart Webber to spend €11million on a 19-year-old, and what will he bring now he’s in the Fine City? Tzolis style is not dissimilar to that of one […]

Aston Villa Chief Executive Christian Purslow has seemingly ruled out a move for Norwich City’s Todd Cantwell, claiming that the players required to replace Jack Grealish have already been signed by the Villains. The 25-year-old secured his move to Manchester City on Thursday night, prompting an explanation from Purslow as the Villa faithful mourned the […]

Norwich City Head Coach Daniel Farke praised his players for coming through a “tough 14 days” to thrash Gillingham 5-0 on Wednesday night, joining new signing Billy Gilmour in talking up the atmosphere on a big night at Carrow Road. “I’m quite pleased, the circumstances of the last two weeks haven’t been easy for the […]

City’s penultimate friendly of 2021 became a walk in the park, the Canaries’ midfield oozing class as they waltzed to a 5-0 victory over League One Gillingham. Pierre Lees-Melou’s long-distance opener was the highlight of the night, Lukas Rupp’s tap-in sandwiched by an Adam Idah double before Jacob Sorensen completed the rout.  It had been […]

“I stand for football, and hopefully for beautiful football.” When he arrived at Norwich City four years ago, Daniel Farke walked into a club that was without inspiration or a footballing identity. In an ever-evolving process, starting with a year of inconsistency and impotence, his second season was used to perfect what we now recognise […]

The ball never fell kindly for Milot Rashica or Billy Gilmour, despite their endeavour. Kieran Dowell, on the other hand, looked a smooth operator at The Walks. Understandably, all eyes were on Milot Rashica, Billy Gilmour and Angus Gunn as Norwich City kicked off their pre-season campaign at National League Kings Lynn. They represent 75 […]

Today is the day it all starts to feel real… again. The Walks’ grass is freshly cut and green, the goalmouths are well-rested, the Joma kit newly printed and the players raring to go. Norwich City may not have a full complement as they take the short trip up the A47, but every player on […]

“We never get what we want. We get what we expect. Winners are never surprised by the victory. They saw it in their minds’ eye every day while preparing for it. What are you expecting?” – Matt Grotewold. These words adorn the walls of Colney, and they’ve never been more pertinent for Norwich City. As […]

Gareth Southgate is well known for switching to a back five for big games, but a tweak to a narrow front two instead of a wide front three could provide his side with a wealth of benefits, including solidity in midfield, danger in behind and increased involvement for Harry Kane. There was no surprise when […]

Reports linking Jordan Hugill with Chris Hughton’s Nottingham Forest recently emerged, so, after an interesting first campaign at Carrow Road, should City sell their number 9 or bring him along for the Premier League ride? It was a curious 2020/21 for the 29-year-old, whose dressing room presence was the defining feature of his season. Stuart […]

Norwich City are preparing a bid worth around £12million for Celtic centre-back Kristoffer Ajer, according to the Daily Record.  The 23-year-old has a year left on his Hoops contract and has been open about his desire to leave Celtic Park, telling TV2: “I was promised I could leave last summer but then we agreed I would stay […]

City fans have been debating, discussing and investigating just what Bill Gilmour will offer them from a very limited body of work, a bit like when one Oliver Skipp arrived here from Tottenham last summer. Gilmour may have burst onto the scene labelled “a terrific little footballer” by Graeme Souness and “fantastic” by Jose Mourinho […]
