No white smoke yet on the new share issue, so the void is filled with conjecture

24th March 2023 By Gary Gowers 11 Comments

Football supporters love nothing more than a good conspiracy theory. Or even a bad one. Our sport is fertile ground for rumour and conjecture. At Norwich City, we’re no different. We can do conspiracy theories along with the best of them. Remember the mother of them all? The one where Dean Ashton mysteriously picked up […]

In an already surreal season, yesterday we entered the realm of a Mike Bassett fantasy

19th March 2023 By Gary Gowers 20 Comments

I need to be careful how I word this. I (and some of my MFW brethren) have been accused in the last week of being overly focused on City winning, of having unrealistically lofty expectations for the Club, and of being professional miserabilists. So…… On second thoughts, if you’re one of those people, look away […]

A new low in a season that’s been jammed-packed full of them…

16th March 2023 By Gary Gowers 21 Comments

Just when you thought this lot had exhausted every possible way to lose a game of football… Last night they achieved what the entire Universe assumed to be impossible: conceding a goal after having limited your opponents to zero shots on target. It’s a statistical quirk of course – Martyn Waghorn’s shot that hit the […]

The Not-So-Friendly Cup heads north as City serve up 98 minutes of stodge

13th March 2023 By Gary Gowers 18 Comments

Classic Norwich City. Classic Championship. Following last Saturday’s gritty win at a place few dare to tread, which made it three wins on the spin, we all fell into that same old trap – getting giddy with belief. We started to dream. Big mistake. Always is. Because… BANG! In a flash (or the space of […]

Sunday’s the day to remember the good times…

10th March 2023 By Gary Gowers 20 Comments

I should have been anticipating the footballing trip of a lifetime but I’d picked up a free Eastern Evening News and was instead distracted by the front page headline. It never dawned on me at the time but those four words would have major repercussions for our football club. You could argue they have lasted […]

Canaries win at The Den as Infantino samples delights of the Old Kent Road

5th March 2023 By Gary Gowers 13 Comments

We knew it wouldn’t be one for the lily-livered. Games at Millwall never are. Add in the scent of promotion the Lions of Zampa Road have in their nostrils and what greeted City and the 3000 was precisely what we expected: a maelstrom of testosterone and hostility. That City emerged from it with three points […]

Some Brazilian magic, three more points, and the Carra becoming a ‘fortress’ again?

26th February 2023 By Gary Gowers 13 Comments

Three home wins in a row! Who saw that coming? Again we flitted, in the space of 93 minutes, between the beauty and the beast, but amid it all there was sufficient good stuff to score two good goals and enough of the ugly side to grind out a clean sheet. Job done. The range […]

Two for Núñez, one a real humdinger, on a good night under the Carra lights

22nd February 2023 By Gary Gowers 15 Comments

Unless you’re a supporter of one of the ‘big six’, in particular Man City or the late Liverpool FC, then football is less about trophies and more about moments. The special ones don’t come along too often but when they do, you remember them forever. You know what moment I’m talking about. In the absence […]

Time to accept our Class of 2023 is just a bang average Championship team?

19th February 2023 By Gary Gowers 23 Comments

I’m not sure of the name of the individual charged with putting together the club’s official highlights package on YouTube, but whoever he or she is, I salute them. They performed an online miracle yesterday and somehow found six minutes and 31 seconds worth of content from a game that had zero highlights. Any performance-related […]

108 days of hurt – ended in a high-tempo flurry of Carrow Road goals

15th February 2023 By Gary Gowers 10 Comments

October 29, 2022, seems an age ago. A lot has happened since then in the life of Norwich City. That was the last time City won at home. Ironically, it too was a 3-1 win, but it was peak Smudgerball – passive, scrappy, and uninspiring – and ended a run of six games without a […]

A grim one in Brizzle but hope springs eternal in the shape of an EGM

12th February 2023 By Gary Gowers 26 Comments

Wagner’s honeymoon period is officially over. While last Saturday’s whooping was assigned to the ‘Premier League bound/better than us’ drawer, away days in Brizzle are supposed, for us, to be standard Championship fare. The games in which we can successfully compete. Our record against teams in the top six is woeful, so logically it’s against […]

Some achingly painful lessons learned on another grim Carrow Road afternoon

5th February 2023 By Gary Gowers 23 Comments

Ouch. That stung. Football’s ability to bring you crashing back to Earth if, or when, you’ve been getting overly giddy rarely fails. Two four-goal wins in two games had us believing that David Wagner had sprinkled over Colney some of the same magic dust he used so successfully at Huddersfield, but Vincent Kompany’s Burnley took […]

Time will tell. Will Marquinhos and Tzolis Mark II make Jan ’23 a good window?

1st February 2023 By Gary Gowers 6 Comments

While City’s business in this transfer window has been less crash, bang, wallop than most, I guess we ended up in a decent place. The general consensus on #NCFC social media appears to be that the net result of the comings and goings leaves us, at the very least, no worse off than we were […]

Is now time for the Attanasios to strike?

29th January 2023 By Gary Gowers 27 Comments

It’s all about timing. In my case, almost always of the bad kind. The ink had barely dried on my Friday piece, in which I expressed my ongoing fear over our club’s financial future if promotion is not achieved this season, when they go and announce an Extraordinary General Meeting for 13th February. The purpose […]

Two fine wins in two for City but the wider concerns still linger … for some

27th January 2023 By Gary Gowers 17 Comments

We don’t require a statistician to tell us our chances of achieving automatic promotion are slim. While, on the face of it, there are still 54 points to play for, the gap between ourselves and Sheffield United is 15 [fifteen] points. So, basically, we need a minimum of five matchdays where City win and the […]

Wagner’s wagon rumbles on… another four… and the formation of Amber’s Army

22nd January 2023 By Gary Gowers 17 Comments

I have rotten memories of Coventry (a). Long story, but in the 1970s I had an uncle who lived in Warwick and was a Cov season ticket-holder, so Dad and I would stay over and go to the games. Five times we made the trip; five times we watched the Canaries stink Highfield Road out. […]

A win… four goals… and a display of unity… which was nice

15th January 2023 By Gary Gowers 24 Comments

What a difference a week on the fields of Colney can make. Wow. Obviously, it’s important to not get too carried away – just three points – but so gloomy and miserable have the last 14 months been, sod it. Let’s dream. It was the type of performance we’d spent the last year and a […]

The reset may be underway on the grass, but issues aplenty to address at the top

11th January 2023 By Gary Gowers 15 Comments

During Monday’s Colney presser, when David Wagner was formally introduced to the local and national press, Stuart Webber directly answered questions asked of him by Paddy Davitt and Michael Bailey. I’d like to think of it as a sign of a minor thaw in the spat between the Club and the local press. We’ll see. […]

A promising debut from Wagner but old habits die hard in the Class of 2023

9th January 2023 By Gary Gowers 16 Comments

So much for the magic of the FA Cup. And so much for footballing fairytales. If David Wagner was under any illusions as to the size of the task that awaits, then he’s not anymore. Under their current guise, and with their current fitness levels, this group is a million miles away from being able […]

The David Wagner story … so far

5th January 2023 By Gary Gowers 9 Comments

So, while it’s not yet official, the good folk of the EDP and Pink Un are reporting that David Wagner is now in Blighty and will be confirmed as our new head coach once that pesky paperwork has been completed – probably tomorrow. When not if. And so, for me, that’s a strong enough signal […]

What a great day! U11 match in the morning followed by Wembley in the afternoon. Chuffed to have been there for Maddison's full debut and get a stunning view of Saka's goal. #ncfc #ENGvUKR
