    Adkins was great for us but he's unlikely to walk away from Reading. I remember he refused to resign from Scunthorpe meaning we had to pay them compensation. Zola did reasonably well at West Ham and has carried it on at Watford. The only other name I can think of is Roberto Di Matteo, but as a Champions League winner only 18 months ago i suspect he would turn his nose up at Norwich.

    Yeah he did say they had European candidates. Don't think DM would shy away from getting a foreign manager. Can't think of too many we could get other than some already mentioned. Maybe Fred Rutten? Out of work anyway

    If you want a Pochettino, then look for someone who has coached or played under a guy called Marcelo Bielsa.

    We were dreadful, then unlucky, then dreadful, then Citeh were pretty good, then we were unlucky but wondering whether it's something more than a coincidence, then we were dreadful.

    That order might not be exactly right, but you get the gist.


    On here, there was the odd slightly disappointingly happy person, but generally we're on the same page

    In short... Norwich were ****!

    Sat very deep most of the game. Their first goal was slightly fortuitous, blocked shot took a big deflection off Johnson and looped into the net. After that we were woeful, 2 up after 20 mins. Ruddy maybe could of done better with the shot but it was poor defending. Third from a corner, deflected header into the corner. Fourth Aguero was offside but was pulled back for a tap in. We never looked up for it and sat far too deep. No service for Hooper, Pilks had a shot tipped around the post but that was about it.

    Second half maybe started slightly brighter. Murphy and Elmander came on. 60 mins silly tackle from Johnson. Toure stuck it in the top corner and after that it went even more to ****. Looked devoid of confidence and effort. Sixth, ball was crossed in and Bassong made a terrible attempt of a clearance and Aguero smashed home. Dzeko added a 7th. All round looked uninterested, lacked shape and commitment. 7-0 was more than fair.

    They scored 7 and we didn't score any. Hooper was not smiling

    I remember when Aston Villa lost 8-0 last season and loads of Villa fans wanted Lambert out.
    Their chairman kept faith and they survived. That said, I think DM has a big decision to make
    and I'm sure he will make the correct one.
