Haha, that is actually word for word what they will say tonight. Last week they couldn't be bothered to do it at all, but there were 4 goals today and ample controversy. Soccer am were banging on about graham but holt has out scored him this season. I think if holt was 25, he'd be in.
I didn't say what it would lead to but my remarks still stand. It doesn't bother me if the manager thinks long ball will win a game. Just do it with conviction. And I still say he doesn't know who to pick Monday. Holt and Wibur up front? It was Jacko 2 games ago. And I don't think its adaptability its indecision. Don't get me wrong, I'm just observing not moaning. 40 points after 32 games. As we lined up against Wigwam all those months ago, I would have sold my grandchildren into slavery for that.
Just got back from the game today, wasn't the refs best game but on the other hand the game itself was fantastic. Really high tempo and between the players good natured. We could easily have won it, maybe shouldn't have lost. But by far the best of the few games I've managed to get to this season. Howson played really well and for me was MOM, Holty once again proved he deserves a place in the England squad, not just with a goal but with his work rate and determination.
Good natured..? I thought some of the Everton tackles were a bit cynical and there second goal, playing on was definatley very poor sportsmanship!
It seems to be the standard. They should save themselves some time by recording it beforehand and sticking it in after every Norwich game.
Agree with the penalties as I think if they'd been given against us we'd be furious. However I disagree with Baines staying on the pitch. The first yellow was a bit of a nothing foul, but the studs up foul on Fox a few minutes later, hauling Bennett down as he was bursting into the box and deliberately blocking off Russ Martin were all bookable offences.
Just back from the pub, called it early! MOTD just started, can't wait for the ****e we get. for the record we were BANG ON today, awesome football from everyone, but apparently you can sit on the ball now, new development on me... Referee was awful and he KNEW he ****ed up. Gave us a few decisions to even it up but i'd have prefered him to have reffed the game properly in the first ****ing place cheers
Well Lawro seems certain Holt won't go to the euros, Lineker seemed quite taken back by his certainty.
I'm actually laughing at that coverage. No mention of Baines's four yellow card offences that produced one yellow card. Briefly glossed over Jelavic diving to the ground holding his face after Bennett brushed his chest. Lawrenson blaming us for not getting on with the game after Pienaar layed on the ball. Being annoyed at the start of the analysis with Norwich fans for thinking they don't give us any coverage and finally when asked will Holt get a call up Lawrenson says 'NO' Lineker says he's the second highest English goalscorer behind Rooney and theres a shortage of goal scoring strikers and Lawrenson's reply? Yeah, well we haven't got a manager either. Bloody pathetic. Fourth on despite the BBC website and Sky saying it was a cracking game, we've had the shortest highlight package, all the analysis is on Jelavic and Lawrenson wonders why City fans complain that we don't get fairly represented.
Maybe its cynical if a player is injured but It's not bad sportsmanship to play to the whistle, what should they have done, waited for us to set out defence in open play? Maybe we should expect them to tell the ref it was a free kick. We did this before at stoke, you have to play to the whistle. That said the Jelavic thing was bad just saw it properly on MOTD.
The attitude to Holt for england was mind boggling. How much do this ****s earn? Nothing else to say but "NO!" ???????? What a ****ing ****, hope the twat gets to eat his words. Holts probably odds on for England now though I guess.
But he's usually so accurate with his predictions. I don't think I need to put the video of him predicting where we'd be in a couple of years. He got it spot on after all
