Climb every mountain… Stuart March 31, 2022 - Many of you will have heard about Norwich City Sporting Director Stuart Webber's proposed 2023 attempt to reach the pinnacle of the world. No, not to achieve a Champions League place but to climb Mount Everest. I must admit to feeling a bit torn about this, from a City point… ...
Suck it up, folks, the ownership debate is a non-starter. Nothing’s about to change January 3, 2022 - I used to believe the 'no one else is interested in buying Norwich City FC' line, but evidence throughout the league belies this. Norwich's owners are the poorest (bar a couple) of all the known owners' wealth listed for all four divisions in England. That means almost every other club… ...
A sea of troubles… December 17, 2021 - Oh dear, oh dear... City, City, City... Sigh. Sadly, the chance for a turnaround was the two games after the two wins when Norwich failed to win either. That's where the confidence and belief COULD have come from. Now the (very possibly) record-breaking lack of goals is coming to the… ...
Out of the frying pan… October 30, 2021 - Struggling to replace the dour but solid Mick McCarthy in advance of the 2018/19 season, Ipswich Town appointed Paul Hurst (erstwhile of Shrewsbury Town) as their new manager.

Reasons to be cheerful… September 20, 2021 - Twas a grim weekend, so in the spirit of looking for positivity... Positive, positive, positive... Right, here goes. 1. The squad Good cover in nearly every position. Two very good goalkeepers; four quick full-backs; two centre-backs with proven ability and two more with exciting potential; a plethora of dynamic wingers;… ...

Winning big games: back in the day when City went toe-to-toe with the champions September 8, 2021 - I pity the podcast generation, all-knowing and fresh-faced, blinking blindly in the Premier League glare. I do. Sadly they seem to regard the world prior to 2014 as empty of integrity, truth and joy, and of no possible use to anyone with a phone surgically attached to their person. A… ...
Photo diary: The evening when a degree of normality returned for the Canary faithful August 5, 2021 - Tuesday night was an emotional one at Carrow Road as, for many, it was their first visit to our second 'living room' since February 2020.
