    Squad down to the bare bones,a couple of indifferent results and our feathered friends flying high.Difficult to predict much apart from a defeat,but football,as they say,is a funny old game.
    Let's hope for a shock result!

    I'm very confident we won't lose this one. Mick will have them all fired up, and I can see it being quite explosive. If Mick doesn't play for a draw, then I can see this being a highly entertaining, and very surprising high score draw. Murphs will bag a couple of penalties, but the budgies to respond with two late strikes to level the score (3-3)

    I really don't know what to expect from this one.. Other than a possible heart attack. I don't have much hatred, or even dislike toward Naarwich, except for Derby days where I seem to intensify a years (or more) worth of tension & resentment in a desperation to beat them.

    I expect to us back to some of the discipline and belligerence that has served us so well, the question mark is what we can do when we have the ball... I think we'll see another 1-1 draw where both sides will bemoan a lack of clinical finishing in front of goal.

    I made the 500 mile round trip the last time we met and came away feeling disgusted. This time I'm not going to bother. I fear a right thrashing could be on the cards, so I will be watching the box from behind the sofa
    I fear the worst and hope for the best
    I predict a 4-0 drubbing and MM saying we need to get back to basics, and we all know what that means

    I'm really not bothered if 2 brothers and their sister come down from Norwich to watch the game.

    That's the way Berra sees it too.
    Shame really.

    Result and performance against Wolves wasn't bad really, especially as I, and many others, were fearing the worst!

    Can't see us beating Norwich though. Maybe we can scrape a draw, if we're lucky and Bart is in inspired form again.

    I'm predict a fairly routine 2-0 defeat. Norwich are one of the better sides in this division, and they should comfortably make top six. This is probably a realistic view, shame we're not as competitive as our friends across the border but, alas, they've had a few years of Premier League football and benefit from the finance that brings in.

    Assume your a canary - if so and sitting in the home end keep quiet enjoy the game and don't be a pleb. Any canary anywhere near me giving it the big un will be getting outed. Not having it! Like I'm sure you wouldn't with a tractor boy in the home end at Carrow Road for it.

    As for the game - interesting one. Without doubt Norwich have the better side. Got plenty of quality, apparently that young 19 year old Spaniard Sergi Canos is a talent. We know about the others. Pritchard / Jarvis / Jerome / Hoolahan / Naismith. Plenty of quality in that Norwich side.

    However, we battled hard Tuesday and I see no reason we won't battle hard Sunday and do whatever it takes to get a result. Clearly we need to bring Norwich down to our level, slow play down, be a bloody pain to play against and win the 5050s. Lets use head tennis if we had to, they won't like it.

    I'm not however going to have the opinion this is a foregone conclusion away win. It's Norwich not Bayern Munich for heavens sake. Of course we have a chance, sod it, 2-1 win. COYB.

    Line up, more of the same as Tuesday please.

    Maybe I'm getting old, or maybe you're too young to know what a classic derby was like, but there was nothing like 2500 Ipswich in the Barclay, cash on the gate, a seething atmosphere of pure hatred...it's all been sanitized now...

    We sold Redmond for £12m and bought the World's most expensive TV that moves .
    It would have been cheaper to just buy 2 enormous telly's but that's not our style.

    4-0 defeat
    **** off mcarfy you useless twat.
    Sorry but the derby means jack these days, gone are the days when we used to be right up for it, when we used to destroy the sister shaggers on the pitch and then kick the **** out of them off the pitch. TWTD.
    Now it's Lilly livered whimps trying to be all PC, it's lost its passion and the club has lost its identity, disgusting all round imo!
