Catch us if you can! City nearly there despite weekend wins for the chasing pack April 12, 2021 - Norwich City have players from quite literally all over the world, from Cuba to Greece via Poland, Finland, Argentina and several other countries too. But the win we ground out against *the Rams of Rooney* [c. G Gowers] was to a large degree very much courtesy of our brace of… ...
A magical evening at the Carra and now it could even be done on Rooney’s watch April 8, 2021 - I can't say I've ever been a fan of magic or magicians. From the days of David Nixon, through Paul Daniels to Derren Brown, they've bored me buttless although I'll make an exception for Dynamo due to his originality - I like watching his stunts. But on Tuesday evening the… ...
A rare bit of beef with our Daniel, but hopefully the last we’ll see of City in petrol blue! April 4, 2021 - Only a sad sack like me could have a little moan about Daniel Farke after a truly titanic performance from the lads who were available to turn out against Preston North End at Deepdale in the Good Friday fixture most of us were dreading due to multiple late returns from… ...
So, where are we now? Eleven points clear of third with eight to play, that’s where March 29, 2021 - The appointment of Stuart Webber in April 2017 was greeted in a reasonably low key manner by us NCFC fans - maybe a few of us were aware of his Liverpool connections [he worked under both King Kenny and Rafa Benitez] and his subsequent success with Huddersfield Town. Personally I… ...
NCFC international round-up… including Onel’s brush with a volcanic ash cloud March 26, 2021 - Three days or so into the international break, a few anomalies have already thrown themselves up within our far-flung travelling contingent and a couple of them you couldn't make up if you tried. Onel Hernandez was demonstrably desperate to make his debut for Cuba, which he eventually did under the… ...
Dear English Football League… March 24, 2021 - This is a message to those who administer the Championship of the English Football League, thinly disguised as a piece written for MyFootballWriter. As I write, we are currently being forced to fulfil a fixture at Deepdale, home of Preston North End FC at 1500 hours on Good Friday, April… ...
Fair play to Mogga’s boys but the biggest downer of the day was Gibbo’s rolled ankle March 22, 2021 - Reality check? Being brought back down to earth? Or simply being faced by a hard-working, typical Tony Mowbray side who had weighed us up before kick off and stuck with their plan to press consistently hard, play to their strengths and ride their luck at times? The choice, dear MFW… ...
Same old Norwich… winning again, and that’s without the world’s most brilliant Che March 18, 2021 - I have absolutely no faith in the planning department at Norfolk County Council - or very many of their other departments either come to that - but I must for once congratulate them for granting us permission to spirit our training complex at Colney to the banks of the Trent… ...
FOREST PREVIEW: Wasted chances… a jinxed Glenn Murray… and Hughton-ball March 15, 2021 - MFW is privileged to once again welcome back our favourite Forest fan, loyal supporter and all-round scion of matters concerning activities in and around the City Ground Christian Brown to inform us about how things currently stand on the banks of the Trent before our meeting with the men in Garibaldi red. Christian… ...
“Every day, it’s a-gettin’ closer, goin’ faster than a roller coaster…” March 15, 2021 - I woke up early on Saturday morning to put the laptop on and discover: Blackburn 0, Brentford 1. Later in the day my mood didn't improve as I sucked up Luton 0, Swansea 1. And then a Welsh side I possessed high hopes of on the day conceded late in stoppage… ...
