- Never pick a fight with the fans, Delia. Bad idea December 1, 2023 - 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… ...
- Rest well, Martin. Thanks for everything ol’ friend November 29, 2023 - 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… ...
- Wagner’s race is clearly run but will (or can) Knapper make the call? November 29, 2023 - 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… ...
- The Preview: Watford v Norwich City November 27, 2023 - In another world, I would have been previewing two Championship heavyweights as they prepare to slug it out under the Vicarage Road lights on a Tuesday night as they both vie for the automatic promotion places. Sadly that other world expired last season when both failed miserably to build upon… ...
- Three points for Wagner’s Dad’s Army but zero for artistic impression November 26, 2023 - 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… ...
- What next for City, as the unceremonious drift into debt continues? November 21, 2023 - 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… ...
- Knapper has spoken … and they were the words Wagner wanted to hear November 19, 2023 - 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… ...
- A win … a smiling Wagner … a chuffed Y’Army … and a guard of honour! November 12, 2023 - 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… ...
- Go Now… November 6, 2023 - 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… ...
- Structures that are unfit for purpose eventually pay the price November 2, 2023 - 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… ...
