Farke a poor man’s Wagner, or Wagner a poor man’s Farke? We’re about to find out

4th January 2023 By James Colman 16 Comments

As I write this, the news of David Wagner’s pending appointment has begun to seep out. Hopefully, the intervening hours won’t age this article too quickly… During the World Cup break, I wrote an article about where City as a whole came unstuck.  Now, with Dean Smith behind us, we can look at where he went […]

How has the Club ended up in this state? And what will it take for a reset?

21st November 2022 By James Colman 14 Comments

The World Cup is upon us. Domestic top leagues are paused and we are left with a few weeks of reflection. The headline act has to be the fact that Dean Smith has utterly failed to connect with the City fans. It may be easy to blame this upon the often turgid football his team has […]

W’as gorn on in traynun, Neyull?

26th October 2022 By James Colman 6 Comments

I didn’t get to see the whole game last night, despite being frustratingly close to Burnley earlier in the day but too late to secure a ticket. A dash home through the traffic ensued to catch what I could on TV, so no detailed match report today. Last January, I wrote an article where I […]

A sport ruined by mega-bucks and a money led governing body … sound familiar?

11th April 2022 By James Colman 10 Comments

What do you do for sporting ‘enjoyment’ when there isn’t a City game?  For the second year running, I was fortunate enough to find myself in the USA during March. A time when the country is taken over by March Madness. It’s everywhere. On every TV channel, in every pub, bar and restaurant.  March Madness […]

The B-word… Agnes from Scunthorpe… ‘Delia must sell’… and City being debt-free

12th March 2022 By James Colman 19 Comments

How many times have we seen it on TV? A vox pop in the street where Agnes from Scunthorpe is asked her opinion on the latest situation. “It’s disgraceful. Something needs to be done about it” Needless to say that, if the reporter or journalist responsible for the original question were to press dear Agnes […]

Farewell Farkeball. We loved you dearly but it’s finally over. Time to say goodbye

30th January 2022 By James Colman 8 Comments

With no match report to write this week, there has been an opportunity to spend a little time reflecting on the season so far, to reflect on what went so wrong for Daniel Farke, and what has changed under Dean Smith. Before I get into the meat of it, let me stress this is little […]

FA CUP MATCH REPORT: Charlton 0, City 1

10th January 2022 By James Colman 2 Comments

So first an apology. My match reports are usually written within moments of the final whistle. For various reasons, yesterday that wasn’t the case, so the report isn’t quite as in-depth or detailed. Secondly, a bit of perspective. Given the December that we have endured, there were two priorities: First to score a goal, and second […]

MATCH REPORT: No City heroes as Hornets make it five on the spin against Canaries

19th September 2021 By James Colman 8 Comments

‘You got me monologuing. The words are from the villain ‘Syndrome’ in the Disney Pixar Film ‘The Incredibles’, but could equally be applied to Daniel Farke after his pre-match press conference this week. Regrettably, there were no superheroes at Carrow Road today, nor anything Incredible. Despite his passionate defence of his players, Farke made changes […]

MATCH REPORT: Dowell’s first-half free-kick edges the weary Canaries ever closer

10th April 2021 By James Colman 2 Comments

After the midweek mauling of Huddersfield, the question was whether Norwich could avenge the loss to Derby at Carrow Road, which ranked as the biggest picking of pockets since Oliver Twist. The game started in familiar fashion, City confidently stroking the ball at the back, retaining possession and waiting for openings.  Derby, predictably, dropped right […]

As it happened: A blow-by-blow account of City’s seven-goal demolition of the Terriers

7th April 2021 By James Colman 6 Comments

I’ve been away with work for the last few weeks. Seven games have passed – I’ve caught something of most of them but at other times I’ve only the odd text message to go on: ‘Dad, we’re murdering them…’ The snow cascaded down on a wintry Carrow Road but the Canaries really turned on the […]

#Ncfc fans - does the County hall carpark still open on matchdays (Saturdays?) just wondered what time it opens to fans and costs if it does? 👍🏼 cheers #OTBC
