- They think it’s all over… it is now… FINALLY! July 20, 2026 - Well that’s that then. Good triumphed over evil. Everyone in England, and decent football fans everywhere will be celebrating the demise of a nasty, nasty football team. Any remaining suspicions that Argentina were good guys really, were vanquished by the disgraceful scenes at the final whistle. Congratulations to Spain, worthy… ...
- A place in the Premier League is no longer a ‘prize’. More like a curse April 28, 2025 - So, as widely predicted at the start of the season, all three clubs that were promoted clubs have been relegated. Putting aside a certain amount of schadenfreude about one of those clubs, this is very concerning. The same thing happened last season, and a glance back over recent seasons shows… ...
- An open letter to Delia… January 8, 2024 - Dear Delia I write with a metaphorical arm around your shoulder as some of these things are going to be hard to hear. I know that you have a vague idea who I am as we have met a few times. I also know that you regard me with suspicion… ...
- For the Wagner reset to have a chance, the Club needs to do four things… January 6, 2023 - It was Norfolk’s worst-kept secret. David Wagner has finally been named as Norwich City's new head coach, with Christoph Bühler as his assistant and Andrew Hughes as first-team coach. While his appointment probably won’t set the pulse racing among a lot of City fans, it makes sense and is probably… ...
- The Club needs revamping from top to bottom, and the fans need to be respected December 18, 2022 - There’s something wrong in the state of NCFC. And it goes a lot deeper than losing 0-2 at home to one of your promotion rivals. Against my better judgement I went to the game last night – the weather was awful, I have a dodgy ankle, and it was on… ...
- EFL games can be rearranged. The events of September 2022 cannot September 10, 2022 - I wasn’t going to Burnley last night owing to a combination of Sky mucking about with the fixture list, and one of my travelling companions being a bit under the weather. I did however very much plan my Friday around it, in a way only familiar to football supporters. Takeaway… ...
- No Wembley glory for City in the Carabao, so back to the league we go August 24, 2022 - Well, I for one am disappointed. I know it seems to be the current thinking among football fans of all clubs that cup competitions, especially the Carabao Cup, are a complete waste of time and an unnecessary distraction. I don’t buy into that and never have done. I can… ...
- They roared… loudly, and it’s finally home. Thank you, Lionesses. August 1, 2022 - They think it’s all over. It is now. See? It’s easy. What’s all the fuss about? None of that penalty nonsense. The clock was ticking inexorably towards the inevitable penalty shoot-out - it was Germany after all - when up popped Chloe Kelly’s right boot to put right the wrongs… ...
- “Come on without, come on within, you’ve not seen nothing like John Manning” February 17, 2021 - To most Norwich City fans the passing of Norwich City former centre forward would be met with a respectful acknowledgement of another City player from the past leaving us, or perhaps another sad statistic added to the ever-increasing list of ex-players struck down with that dreadful disease Alzheimer’s. To me… ...
- Project Restart – a theoretical scenario… May 5, 2020 - The year is 2020. The month is July. Liverpool have just won their first league title for 30 years by beating Burnley 2-0 in an empty stadium in Sydney. At the final whistle, the only cheers are from the players.
