SWANS PREVIEW – Red-hot Ayew… attacking potency… & the return of Ryan Bennett! November 6, 2020 - A red-hot André Ayew and a resurgent Championship heavyweight descending on Carrow Road would normally fill me with dread. Swansea City, in many respects a sleeping second-tier giant, coming to town is enough to spark fears of an away day pillage in Nelson’s County. But this is a Norwich City side… ...
ROTHERHAM PREVIEW – The spirit of Worthy’s heroes of 2003/04 needed tomorrow October 16, 2020 - Damien Francis’ late leveller and a helter-skelter 4-4 draw at Millmoor will forever hold a place in Norwich City’s storied 2003/04 promotion almanack. In simpler times - and a season that first ignited my 17-year love affair with City - the travelling fans swayed like daffodils under the Yorkshire lights… ...
Is Gibson the man to transform our promotion dreams into a reality? September 10, 2020 - Ben Gibson is the pillar of stability Norwich City have been crying out for - and may well prove to be the final piece in Daniel Farke’s Championship jigsaw. It’s been a busy summer of ins and outs at City but of all our recent arrivals, none make me more… ...
Even in semi-lockdown, still plenty to admire for the children of Webberlution May 14, 2020 - Stuart Webber delivered a performance of all the logic, rationale and nuance that has been lacking in debates surrounding Project Restart on Sky Sports yesterday morning. He believes the remaining games should be played out at home and away venues. He believes the Premier League’s - and the Championship’s -… ...
While the Norwich City story may be on hold, its resumption will offer joy and hope March 30, 2020 - Winston Churchill once said ‘a fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject’. In many respects, he could easily have been referring to supporting Norwich City Football Club. Amid the agony and the ecstasy, the trials and tribulations, and the thrills and spills, the truth… ...
Sour scenes at Old Trafford as cracks appear in the fans’ unity and togetherness January 14, 2020 - Division reigns on the terraces and, without risking mincing my words, it was all so grimly predictable. All the rhetoric of last season centred around those abstract notions of unity, togetherness and collective belief. All the talk was about how Daniel Farke’s players and the fans were united in this… ...
Leitner’s Deepdale strop must be a one-off and not eat into the unity and selflessness January 7, 2020 - Adam Idah stole the headlines but it was the antics of another City player that caught my eye during Saturday’s impressive FA Cup triumph at Preston. Of course, Idah was majestic under the Deepdale lights, showcasing all his work-rate, movement, pace and trickery to reap havoc on Alex Neil’s defence… ...
‘Farke was the one who got us here. In my mind, he has what it takes to keep us here’ November 6, 2019 - ‘It’s more difficult to stay on top, than to get there in the first place’ were the wise words of former USA Women’s player Mia Hamm, and her insight is proving more than pertinent upon inspection of Norwich City this season. Hamm scored a staggering 158 goals for her country… ...
Can that night in Sofia really be a turning point? Or another for UEFA to gloss over? October 16, 2019 - It was in the East Anglian Derby in 2015 when I first saw Tyrone Mings play. Mings, along with 17 other members of Mick McCarthy’s merry men, were those who descended on Carrow Road in February that year, for 90 memorable minutes playing the pantomime villains that Alex Neil’s promotion-winning… ...
Carrow Road cannot lose that unique sense of joy, buoyancy and togetherness October 8, 2019 - I always knew the mercy of going into national sports journalism would mean I wouldn’t be able to follow Norwich City up and down the country each week. Such are the demands of my new - and first - job, a sacrifice of working weekends that has made me empathise… ...
