    Not suggesting the Mirror is the most reliable source, but...

    Norwich are now continuing to try to offload more players to free up resources.
    MirrorSport understands around 30% of the club's wage bill is currently going on players who are not in the first team.
    These include striker Kyle Lafferty, 29, who collects £24,000-a-week and City are trying to find takers with his contract up this summer.
    <yikes>

    Did not see Southampton knocking out Liverpool! Even after the first leg. Well done Saints! Sell all your best players and managers, season after season, and still reach the final!

    I'd love us to be able to emulate the Saints model and they have produced some outstanding players over the years!!!
    I'm optimistic that we can in a few years time. <ok>
    Edit - So now Leeds are 3rd in the Championship, though have played a game more than nearly all the other teams.

    Adam Lallana
    Sadio Mane

    Well, so Brum arrive without a win in 9 games ........
    What's the betting that record changes tomorrow???? <laugh>
    No, seriously, I'm backing a narrow home win with CJ netting the winner against one of his former clubs. <ok>

    Decent game, Derby v Leicester. Unbelievable how Derby didn't get a late pen when it clearly hit Huth on an outstretched arm. If Leicester city played in yellow and green.... <yikes>

    I've seen them given, but in the slow motion, you can see it hits Huth on the thigh first.

    Yes, with slow-mo and different angles, fair comment.
    But for the ref to spot that in real time <yikes>

    A lucky call and I wonder what his decision would have been had it happened in the Derby penalty area ......................................
    It just adds 'more grist to the mill' for the need for a TMO for penalties/red cards ONLY!!!!!!

    Very positive comments from Ivo Pinto in the Pinkun:

    “Norwich are unfortunately not in the Premier League anymore but playing there showed players Norwich is a good club,” the 27-year-old said ahead of today’s home Championship clash with Birmingham City. “You play in the Norwich City family, we are always looking to go back to the Premier League, to make this club bigger and to make it better.”

    Good call, as Lidl are starting to do some sponsorship of football, in the same way as Aldi are getting involved with our Olympic squad.
