    Looked like a good, clean tackle to me! <whistle>

    Our Defenders need to start doing that. At least get close enough to the opposition to try!

    Interesting.

    All I know for sure, is although I love watching that Liverpool attack, it's not them.

    I'd say Madrid or PSG. I think As good as Suarez and Messi is, Dembele is a weak link. The other 2 don't have one.

    I see Coutinho scored for Brazil yesterday. His poorly back.....Poor little lad.



    I am so sick of modern footballers.

    Some excellent points raised in this article on MFW - “David Wagner’s career didn’t start all too well at Huddersfield – five defeats in seven games and 14 goals conceded – means there is still a glimmer of hope that it’s just time that is needed and Farke will make this work.
    Yet I feel sure that a couple more drives and a few tweaks will help finely tune his model that currently resembles a Lada (of course I’m too young to remember them *coughs*) into a more refined Mercedes, I mean he is German after all.
    Of course we expect there to be a few pit stops along the way but we have got to get from first to fifth gear by Christmas and hopefully cruise into at least sixth position; even if at the first time of asking for a rookie team that may be just a little too much. Perhaps we won’t hit them pole positions this season but if we could reach 8/10th with a whole new model we will have done okay in my opinion.

    I COMPLETELY agree with the last sentence and I think we’re being unrealistic expecting much else. Let’s wait and see if our performances/goals conceded by the next ‘International Break’ before we ‘throw the baby out with the bath water!!!’

    What a deal for Blades!! I missed that one!

    I would have taken him here in a heartbeat, I think he's a really effective striker, especially in this league. Gutted.

    I can remember several years ago when the North East fans were the best in the world. They didn't demand to win every game, they just wanted players who gave 100% on the pitch and they were happy.

    Same old story now, huge amounts of money means everyone wants instant success! It has to end sometime, sooner rasther than later I hope! <ok>

    That England side is dull. And we are starting our 4th best GK again.

    And Livermore starts again.



    Hart - No
    Walker- No
    Cahill - Probably not
    Jones - Yes
    Bertrand - Maybe
    Henderson - No
    Livermore- No
    Ox - No
    Alli - Yes
    Sterling - Yes
    Kane- Yes

    I called 0-0 at HT. 20 Minutes gone, 0-0 and no real threat of a goal yet.A lot of possession and huff, but no cutting edge. It's great supporting England and Norwich.

    Awful 1 dimensional football by Norwich. I mean England. We keep trying the same thing over and over, and they are defending it so easy.

    Kane is our solo striker, and he keeps getting the ball on the right touchline!? FFS....

    Attack down the wing. Cross it in. It's 1 Striker vs 6-7 defenders. Cleared. Buy a free-kick, Cross it badly, cleared.

    Wish I would have placed a bet for a 0-0 HT score. The way everyone was talking about us walking it. I knew it would be like this again. Wonder how much I would have made.

    Before the game they were saying "how many would it be?" "You don't often get to feel confident of a win going into an England game". I said to my gf, "stop saying that! Have you watched us?! it will be 0-0 at HT!"

    And here we are. We have dominated without worrying them in any way. Exactly what I was expecting. Like Norwich, England never fail to fail. f*cking awful first half of football. it wasn't even football I don't think


    Malta.

    Malta!!
