Forget decency and human rights… the Prem looks no further than the filthy lucre October 10, 2021 - The second international break of the season is usually a chance to take stock and evaluate how the first couple of months have gone for City. On this occasion, it was best not to look too closely - a bonnet that didn't really need opening. Unfortunately, said international break is… ...
Since when did it become cool to punch down on the little guy? October 7, 2021 - Those of you who don't frequent social media and are able to resist the dubious delights of talkSPORT may be unaware that said radio station has been less than complimentary about our beloved Norwich City over the last couple of months. Not just the once, but consistently... on what feels… ...
A point! A whole, beautiful, hard-earned Premier League point (and a clean sheet) October 3, 2021 - To paraphrase Jarvis Cocker, we had to start it somewhere, so it started there... in Burnley. It wasn't a rip-snorter of a performance by any stretch of the imagination, but it was resolute and gutsy; two words that have been absent from literally every Norwich City match report or thought piece… ...
BURNLEY PREVIEW: Can our ailing Canaries stop Dyche’s Clarets putting it up ’em? October 1, 2021 - In Martin's Monday piece, he spoke of his relief at not being on the rota to pen the Burnley preview. That particular honour is mine. Whoopee! I pondered whether it was time to dip back into the cesspit of celebrity fan previews but the best I could come up with… ...
Amid all the doom and gloom, please can we at least have our Farkeball back? September 26, 2021 - This Premier League lark isn't much fun is it. Not when you support Norwich City. Not at the moment. In fact, it's hard to recall a time when City have been in the top flight and things have felt quite so grim. The stats back it up. Played 6. Lost… ...
Five games in and the going is tough. Very tough. Oh for a single point on the board September 19, 2021 - You know things are not going well when you've had to give Match of the Day the swerve for five consecutive Saturdays. Some of you are no doubt braver than I, but Lineker's half-hearted 'and Norwich?' that invariably follows the collective gushing over the qualities of our opponents is too… ...
Will game number 5 be the one? And has Webber addressed the bullying issue? September 16, 2021 - The joy of watching Emma Radacanu winning the US Open last Saturday evening may have temporarily eased the pain of another City defeat but was only a short-term fix. I'm not sure what specifically it is about an away defeat at the Emirates that encaptures everything about Norwich City in… ...
Webber… his finest hand of poker… Normann & Kabak… and some Emirates hope September 5, 2021 - International breaks eh. Don't you just love them? They never come at a good time, but those that come immediately after your club has signed what you hope will be two key players are especially annoying. Particularly when said players have literally a few hours at the club before they… ...
Norwich to finish 11th… if, as some believe, the only metric worth its salt is net spend September 2, 2021 - Upon the closure of the transfer windows, every pundit, media outlet and shock-jock talk-radio station took it upon themselves to try and establish who 'won' the transfer window. As ever, despite City spending more than they have ever done in any transfer window in history and having ticked every box… ...
Sloppy defending (again)… Skipp-shaped holes… VAR agony… and a returning hero? August 29, 2021 - As Todd Cantwell said afterwards, it would have been disappointing to have come away with a point but, of course, we would definitely have taken it. To have ended up with nothing was a proper blow to the nether regions. The longer we go without those first points, or point,… ...
