A point. A clean sheet. But let’s be honest … it was more than a bit dull

10th December 2023 By Gary Gowers 26 Comments

Morning. How are those nerves after that Carrow Road shredding? One for the adrenaline junkies. right? Back in the real world, it was one of those where, for those who struggle to sleep, it was an ideal opportunity to catch up on some. For those who don’t have a problem sleeping, alternative ways to pass […]

Confirmation that it’s a very mad world as City somehow triumph in Brizzle

4th December 2023 By Gary Gowers 21 Comments

If Delia Smith’s plan was to distract from the on-pitch woes of David Wagner by being the centre-point of a series of post-AGM car crash interviews, it worked a treat. Genius. Because, for all of Wagner’s tactical deficiencies – some of which were laid bare again yesterday – we spent virtually the whole of Friday, […]

Never pick a fight with the fans, Delia. Bad idea

1st December 2023 By Gary Gowers 36 Comments

She said it … she actually said it. “Be careful what you wish for”, was Delia’s retort when politely and eloquently challenged on matters pertaining to the running of our club and why City supporters are unhappy right now. But there’s the rub. Delia doesn’t believe that City supporters per se are unhappy right now. […]

Rest well, Martin. Thanks for everything ol’ friend

29th November 2023 By Gary Gowers 41 Comments

With heavy hearts, we bring you the very sad news that MFW columnist and friend, Martin Penney died yesterday. He left peacefully – exactly as he would have wanted. I know you’ll join me in passing our heartfelt condolences to his partner Sue, and the rest of his family. Norwich City matters not at times […]

Wagner’s race is clearly run but will (or can) Knapper make the call?

29th November 2023 By Gary Gowers 30 Comments

He has to go, doesn’t he? He probably won’t but he clearly has to. I talk of course of course of David Wagner, but such is the state of our football club it will take more than a change of head coach to bring about the fundamental overhaul it desperately needs. A root and branch […]

Three points for Wagner’s Dad’s Army but zero for artistic impression

26th November 2023 By Gary Gowers 15 Comments

Well, it was a win. And when you’ve slid unceremoniously into a relegation battle you can’t be too sniffy over how you earn your points – especially three against a team that is below you in the table. In that regard it was job done, and for another week those in power are spared any […]

What next for City, as the unceremonious drift into debt continues?

21st November 2023 By Gary Gowers 44 Comments

What has become abundantly clear over the last few weeks – if it wasn’t already – is that even for a club that is perpetually skint, the level of debt now on the balance sheet of Norwich City FC PLC is scarily high. Football finances have, of course, changed beyond all recognition over the last […]

Knapper has spoken … and they were the words Wagner wanted to hear

19th November 2023 By Gary Gowers 9 Comments

The news that Jonathan Rowe has returned to the club after sustaining an ankle injury while training with the England Under-21s was symptomatic of a season that keeps on delivering in the worst possible way. Things that can go wrong tend to. Without wanting to tempt fate, it would surprise no one if in this […]

A win … a smiling Wagner … a chuffed Y’Army … and a guard of honour!

12th November 2023 By Gary Gowers 22 Comments

First things first, and that win was vital. In the circumstances, those three points were priceless, and when I say ‘circumstances’ I mean a relegation battle. Whatever else is or isn’t going on with our football club at the moment, the need to arrest our freefall down the Championship table has to be everyone’s top […]

Go Now…

6th November 2023 By Gary Gowers 51 Comments

It’s not unusual for a collective groan to greet the fourth official’s board that signals the minimum amount of added time. If you’re winning there are usually too many minutes. If you’re losing there are never enough. But yesterday, in the hell hole that was Carrow Road, the groan was because, despite City being 3-0 […]

Structures that are unfit for purpose eventually pay the price

2nd November 2023 By Gary Gowers 33 Comments

It’s not often we find ourselves feeling empathy with Manchester United supporters but after watching their lifeless surrender to El-Toon in the Carabao Cup it was impossible not to draw a few parallels with our own miserable plight.   They, of course, are in a different stratosphere when it comes to history, expectation, fanbase, and […]

The time for tweaks and small changes is over

29th October 2023 By Gary Gowers 56 Comments

To say that our club lurches from crisis to crisis is maybe a bit of an exaggeration. I say that because, for me, where we are now is the culmination of one single, prolonged crisis, which has been interspersed with the occasional, all-too-brief bouts of hope. I would argue this goes back to the summer […]

Sorry David. It’s not all your fault… but it is time to go

25th October 2023 By Gary Gowers 35 Comments

Quite what Shane Duffy was thinking when he boomed that header into touch near the South Stand/River End corner is unclear but what it provided was the most perfect snapshot of another grim, error-ridden night at Carrow Road. The boos and the cries of ‘Wagner Out’ were, I’m afraid, inevitable as the frustration boiled over […]

Not the end of the NCFC world as we know it… yet. But concerning signs

23rd October 2023 By Gary Gowers 20 Comments

You’re stuck with me again I’m afraid. Our Martin’s still poorly and so, for now, the Monday stripes will be shared around. I’m sure you’ll all join me in wishing the ol’ boy all the best for a speedy recovery. MFW is not the same without him – that’s for sure. But, while I’m no […]

A sporting day for the ages summed up by City’s surrender to Farke’s Leeds

22nd October 2023 By Gary Gowers 39 Comments

For those of us who are English and fans of sport as well as fans of football and Norwich City, yesterday was a stinker of a day. Several more apt descriptions are available but I’ll run with stinker as my mum reads my Sunday morning column. But you know what I mean. Pick your own. […]

Let it go, Todd. Time to move on

18th October 2023 By Gary Gowers 19 Comments

I tended to steer clear of the Todd Cantwell debate that raged almost constantly during his time at our football club. I don’t know Todd, have never met him, and had no idea of the personal issues he was dealing with but of which others seemed to be aware. As such, I didn’t feel qualified […]

If only Jonny Rowe would stop doing Jonny Rowe things… until February

15th October 2023 By Gary Gowers 9 Comments

You’ll know what I mean when I say I wish Jonny Rowe would stop doing Jonny Rowe things. Not only has he stormed his way through the first three months of the Championship – even in a team that’s stuttering – but he’s now started to make a name for himself on the international stage. […]

So… why Ben Knapper?

10th October 2023 By Gary Gowers 14 Comments

I desperately wanted the announcement of the announcement to be made via some billowing white smoke from the air vents of the Lion & Castle but instead, the Club chose to go route one to announce the pending arrival of Ben Knapper as its new Sporting Director. A lengthy and painstaking process that has been […]

Unrest in the away end as City stumble to a point at Cov

8th October 2023 By Gary Gowers 53 Comments

The keyword to emerge after the midweek defeat in Swansea was ‘average’. City now look an average team with mostly unexceptional players who are now playing a nondescript brand of football. (I say ‘now’ because a month ago we were all quite enthused by what we were seeing). But after yesterday’s afternoon of disappointment in […]

The bad days start to stack up for the stuttering Canaries

5th October 2023 By Gary Gowers 27 Comments

As disappointing as it was – and it really was – last night offered, unfortunately, a snapshot of where we are right now as a football club. As a team, we’re about as average to middling as you can get, and as a club, we’re poor (in a financial sense), which is starting to become […]
