    One swallow does not a summer make

    You need to calm down. Everyone knows Mick McCarthy's style. You're only kidding yourself. And frankly, it's why you're doing well, because it works. So you might as well embrace it. If you enjoy it, all the better from your pov. I'm not saying you can't be proud of your team - you can because they've done seriously well with limited resources. And doubtless you'll tell me I'm patronising and you'll get more apoplectic, but those are the facts. And as I said, I'm happy because I saw your match against us and at that moment I thought you were genuinely going to League 1. And that mean a serious danger of no derby matches for a long time.

    Our style is irrelevant. We were discussing Ipswich.

    Have our TWTD lads been giving Hucks a hard time this evening?

    That pic would make for a great caption competition. ;)

    I'll give you a clue mate, that's Iwan Roberts on the left, you probably wouldn't recognize him as he's had teeth photoshopped onto that pic...;)

    What did they achieve to secure such a status?

    They played for Norwich, is anything more needed to be a Budgie legend?

    One of Holty lad's (the best Budgie WUM ever) previous incarnations was 'Huckerby The Holy', I would imagine that that is Huck's greatest claim to fame. <ok>

    C.nt? Is that esperanto?

    I'm just off the back of a three-day stag triathlon around Norfolk and the mean streets of Norwich, so don't expect miracles.



    Oh, <ok>

    Christ if we are judging by highlights for the last 2 seasons we could be forgiven that Norwich city can only afford one set of goals and they change ends at halftime!

    Rob, I agree we rely on set pieces but what you forget is you have to do something to win those set pieces in the first place, and to have a short passing game you must by default have a long passing game. its called ying and yang.
