I've lost touch with Mike Wynn Jones (Delia Smith's husband) since we moved to NZ, but I bet he's devastated. They are very rich, but - at heart - he is just a genuine Norwich fan. It's a bit like the situation with Jack Walker, really. I don't think - read more ...

Just read Tosin's comments about last Saturday on the official site. So we scored from a deflection and a "shinner"! These are the bits about football that are beyond anyone's control. Add that to the dreadful referee's failure to award us a blatant - read more ...

Lots of that is just simply wrong. I wrote in another post that Armstrong was one of our best players on the day, but it is true that his miss looked like being costly until Lenihan scrambled one in. That wasn't a criticism of Armstrong. It was a sim - read more ...

Champs - where have I ever said "how good Bennett is"? I have repeatedly agreed that he is past his best, and would NOT be in my preferred XI. At the same time, I will not accept that he is "rubbish" and "useless". You have still not answered the que - read more ...

I would be inclined to keep hold of Williams but quite a few will be shown the exit door,including graham. Wages will need to be freed up as we shop for freebies and loans. This squad is ok but very thin so balking up is a must. With no money we can - read more ...

This Division is weird, though, Robin. Charlton winning at Forest? I don't think the game was ever going to be a classic - given the conditions and the fact that Hull clearly decided from the start that a point was the limit of their ambitions. - read more ...

I am happy with that as long as fans accept that a play-off place is not likely now, and that there is a consensus to blame Mowbray for that. We all know how it will go: 1) He used experienced players when the youngsters would have given u - read more ...

I'll never get my tongue round that name! He seems to be a right-footed left winger. I still don't get why that has become so common in recent years. I suppose, these days, wingers cut in much more often than they try to beat a man on the outside. - read more ...

On the subject of team selection, I'll have my go here! I would expect QPR to play an attacking style next week. That being the case, it's probably not going to be so much a matter of breaking down two lines of defenders. Instead, we might want to p - read more ...

The teams on the good runs at the moment are Forest and Millwall. The best time to start such a run is about mid-March. If you begin that from a mid-table position, it can carry you all the way to the top six, as it did with Villa last season. It's w - read more ...

Totally agree, Saxo. The Wigan game was the biggest disappointment of the season for me. QPR should be interesting. Their "goals for" is the second best in the Division, and their "goals against", the second worst! It doesn't sound as if they pack th - read more ...

Unless we get significant injuries, I doubt Charlie will get beyond the bench. It sounds as if Mowbray has made that clear to him, and he has accepted it. I see that Hart has gone out on loan. He really does need the game time, and we have Bell, Will - read more ...
