SWANS PREVIEW – Red-hot Ayew… attacking potency… & the return of Ryan Bennett!

6th November 2020 By Will Jennings 3 Comments

A red-hot André Ayew and a resurgent Championship heavyweight descending on Carrow Road would normally fill me with dread. Swansea City, in many respects a sleeping second-tier giant, coming to town is enough to spark fears of an away day pillage in Nelson’s County.  But this is a Norwich City side motoring – and a team […]

ROTHERHAM PREVIEW – The spirit of Worthy’s heroes of 2003/04 needed tomorrow

16th October 2020 By Will Jennings 3 Comments

Damien Francis’ late leveller and a helter-skelter 4-4 draw at Millmoor will forever hold a place in Norwich City’s storied 2003/04 promotion almanack. In simpler times – and a season that first ignited my 17-year love affair with City – the travelling fans swayed like daffodils under the Yorkshire lights as Francis, a key cog […]

Is Gibson the man to transform our promotion dreams into a reality?

10th September 2020 By Will Jennings 13 Comments

Ben Gibson is the pillar of stability Norwich City have been crying out for – and may well prove to be the final piece in Daniel Farke’s Championship jigsaw. It’s been a busy summer of ins and outs at City but of all our recent arrivals, none make me more excited than loan signing Gibson. […]

Even in semi-lockdown, still plenty to admire for the children of Webberlution

14th May 2020 By Will Jennings 8 Comments

Stuart Webber delivered a performance of all the logic, rationale and nuance that has been lacking in debates surrounding Project Restart on Sky Sports yesterday morning.  He believes the remaining games should be played out at home and away venues.  He believes the Premier League’s – and the Championship’s – conclusion should be played out […]

While the Norwich City story may be on hold, its resumption will offer joy and hope

30th March 2020 By Will Jennings 2 Comments

Winston Churchill once said ‘a fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject’. In many respects, he could easily have been referring to supporting Norwich City Football Club. Amid the agony and the ecstasy, the trials and tribulations, and the thrills and spills, the truth remains – we are privileged […]

Sour scenes at Old Trafford as cracks appear in the fans’ unity and togetherness

14th January 2020 By Will Jennings 15 Comments

Division reigns on the terraces and, without risking mincing my words, it was all so grimly predictable. All the rhetoric of last season centred around those abstract notions of unity, togetherness and collective belief. All the talk was about how Daniel Farke’s players and the fans were united in this ostensible sense of oneness, an […]

Leitner’s Deepdale strop must be a one-off and not eat into the unity and selflessness

7th January 2020 By Will Jennings 16 Comments

Adam Idah stole the headlines but it was the antics of another City player that caught my eye during Saturday’s impressive FA Cup triumph at Preston. Of course, Idah was majestic under the Deepdale lights, showcasing all his work-rate, movement, pace and trickery to reap havoc on Alex Neil’s defence and kick-start an – I […]

‘Farke was the one who got us here. In my mind, he has what it takes to keep us here’

6th November 2019 By Will Jennings 5 Comments

‘It’s more difficult to stay on top, than to get there in the first place’ were the wise words of former USA Women’s player Mia Hamm, and her insight is proving more than pertinent upon inspection of Norwich City this season. Hamm scored a staggering 158 goals for her country between 1987 and 2004, lighting […]

Can that night in Sofia really be a turning point? Or another for UEFA to gloss over?

16th October 2019 By Will Jennings 8 Comments

It was in the East Anglian Derby in 2015 when I first saw Tyrone Mings play. Mings, along with 17 other members of Mick McCarthy’s merry men, were those who descended on Carrow Road in February that year, for 90 memorable minutes playing the pantomime villains that Alex Neil’s promotion-winning heroes sent back to Suffolk […]

Carrow Road cannot lose that unique sense of joy, buoyancy and togetherness

8th October 2019 By Will Jennings 6 Comments

I always knew the mercy of going into national sports journalism would mean I wouldn’t be able to follow Norwich City up and down the country each week. Such are the demands of my new – and first – job, a sacrifice of working weekends that has made me empathise all the more with fans […]

To those who’ve missed out on tickets: fear not, because it will get easier from now on

20th August 2019 By Will Jennings 13 Comments

Thanks to Teemi Pukki’s brilliance, Moritz Leitner’s composure and Todd Cantwell’s coming of age, the intricacies of the club’s new membership scheme appear to have been largely forgotten. And rightly so. This has been a swashbuckling start to life in the Premier League by City, two games characterised not so much by realpolitik as they […]

The VAR debate: A modern day necessity? Or a killjoy to the once beautiful game?

13th August 2019 By Will Jennings 13 Comments

After a hectic opening weekend of Premier League action including a valiant Norwich City display on Merseyside and a quintessentially old school Manchester United romping, there’s only one thought that dominates my mind this Sunday evening: football is worse off with VAR. As we know, it was at the London Stadium where the farcical nature […]

It pays to be progressive, innovative and bold – as City and the ECB have discovered

16th July 2019 By Will Jennings 16 Comments

England’s Cricket World Cup wasn’t really won on that glorious, sun-baked evening at Lord’s on Sunday. It wasn’t won by that magnificent display of batting fortitude by Ben Stokes, that nerve-shredding super over delivered by Jofra Archer or that unerring pick-up and bullet throw from Jason Roy in front of the famous old Grand Stand. […]

Time to drop the ‘loyalty’ debate. There’s far more that unites us than divides us

28th June 2019 By Will Jennings 15 Comments

Measuring loyalty as a football fan is about as ambiguous a concept as they come. Critically, what does it actually mean? Is it away games attended? Is it the longevity you’ve held a season ticket for? Is it money spent, or time invested in your club? More obscurely, is it knowledge and an ability to […]

Who will be first up on August 10? And who would we prefer? A Man City or a Burnley?

12th June 2019 By Will Jennings 8 Comments

Much like a Cadbury’s Creme Egg, we all consume the annual release of the fixtures in different ways. Some fans are largely indifferent, justifiably apathetic towards what can be perceived as a futile and premature attempt to rouse anticipation for the upcoming season. Some fans keep a watchful eye, not overly concerned but keen to […]

From The Valley to a ‘booze-fuelled balcony’ – A foot soldier’s tale

8th May 2019 By Will Jennings 5 Comments

It all started at The Valley back in July. Despite not normally being anything like a pre-season enthusiast, a friend’s 21st in Guildford that necessitated changing trains in London made the prospect of an away trip in the sun difficult to resist. We lost 1-0 that day. Lost 1-0 to a side that had finished […]

City’s shot stopper extraordinaire is leading the charge both on and off the pitch

20th April 2019 By Will Jennings 3 Comments

Back in Norfolk for the first time since Derby Day, I took an unconventional route to Carrow Road on Friday afternoon. After a swift visit to see my granny in Gorleston, I boarded the 17:03 service from Haddiscoe – long story – and made that pre-match pilgrimage into the Fine City. The immediate chat from […]

Let’s not just go up, but let’s stay there, and create a lasting legacy for this club

25th March 2019 By Will Jennings 14 Comments

With just eight games to go, the prospect of promotion is rapidly transforming a romantic, abstract dream into something far more tangible. Such is the distance this team of yellow and green heroes have travelled, overcoming nearly every obstacle the division has placed in their way and cementing a four-point lead at the Championship’s summit […]

Let’s not underestimate the Stieperdude – no-one has a more key role in Farkeball

19th February 2019 By Will Jennings 25 Comments

For those City fans out there who happen to be a follower of Test match cricket, I’m sure the name Shivnarine Chanderpaul will require little introduction. Chanderpaul, that brilliant yet unconventional accumulator of runs for the West Indies – 11,867 at an average of 51.37, to be precise – who had that endearing knack of […]

Wheels coming off? Not a chance. This City side is not about to go away

16th January 2019 By Will Jennings 3 Comments

If these current City players are going to achieve immortality and gain promotion to the Premier League, posterity may well look back very fondly on that Jordan Rhodes goal on Saturday afternoon. In the face of adversity and Albion’s sustained high press, Daniel Farke’s heroes rallied, once again demonstrating their unwavering defiance and sending the […]

So good it happened twice! Didn’t Andrew Crofts score an almost identical goal against Barnsley away? #ncfc
