Martin Penney

A slow-burner of an NCFC summer is doing nothing for Dean Smith’s pre-season prep June 27, 2022 - During this last week of flaming June, I am not too sure if I would like to be in Dean Smith's immaculate white trainers. Following hot on the heels of our inevitable relegation from the Premier League in May or more likely April, I simply don't want to remember, Smith… ...
With Timmy being linked with PSV, will the gig be Angus’? The latest in a long line… June 20, 2022 - While us football writing folk always consider the summer months of June and July as the "silly season" - and for very good reason - that doesn't mean that nothing has been going on behind the scenes at our beloved Norwich City. The EFL Championship fixtures will be released on… ...
Welcome aboard Mr Hayden… the first Isaac to wear the famous yellow and green? June 13, 2022 - Martin hasn't been the most auspicious forename to own throughout the annals of history as in there really haven't been too many famous ones, with a few notable exceptions of course.*** There was a Saint Martin and there have been four Pope Martins. Martin Luther was pretty adept at the… ...
Nothing wrong with the gamble, even if the player doesn’t quite make the grade June 6, 2022 - Matthew Dennis isn't a name that will be immediately recognised by many MFW readers. He joined us from Arsenal in the summer of 2020 for a small fee and, like many similar signings that Stuart Webber seems to specialise in, was thought of as "one for the future". Maybe that… ...
Shared values and some abiding principles that will fit NCFC … what’s not to like? May 30, 2022 - I have never had the slightest interest in baseball and freely admit that I don't even know the rules. But what I do know is that literally millions of our cousins across the Pond are hopelessly devoted to the game that continues to rival American Football in the popularity stakes.… ...
So, what should we expect this summer in terms of our transfer wheeling and dealing? May 26, 2022 - Now that this season of discontent has ended in ignominy for Norwich City, all we can sensibly do is focus on 2022-23. I have no idea what might or might not happen during the summer transfer window, although I could make a few shrewd pessimistic guesses, so I thought I'd… ...
Krul’s swansong? … malady-stricken Martin … lazy Sunday mornings … and a bitter pill May 24, 2022 - If this wretched season could be encapsulated in a single day our game at Carrow Road against Tottenham on Sunday was certainly it. Very much having a liking for the Lilywhites, I'd been looking forward to this fixture ever since Christmas even though at that time a Champions League spot… ...
SPURS PREVIEW May 20, 2022 - As the curtain comes down on what has frankly been a disastrous season for the boys from NR1, it has fallen to me to write the last MFW match preview, in which we face Tottenham Hotspur at 1600 hours promptly on Sunday. Bad luck? Sins of a past life catching… ...
Intransigent octogenarians… little left to sell… & an SD who can leave when he likes May 16, 2022 - We got a point. Unexpectedly so, but a point we got. But what was the point? Too little too late and remarkably achieved without the squad's chief pointer, Kenny McLean, on the pitch. So ultimately the 1-1 draw at Molineux was, in reality, pointless. Despite Dean Smith's declared ambition to… ...
A brighter opening 45 and a good night for Angus but still a stroll for the Foxes May 12, 2022 - Only two more to go, we can do it! Yes my fellow supporters of NCFC we can collectively get to the end of this wretched season, the one that promised a little but achieved absolutely nothing but condemnation and humiliation from the PL pundits. Unless we are to class a… ...
