Mate there are only so many straws you can clutch, basically unless we change our manager and PDQ, we're well and truly fcuked !
We have come down to keep you company lads, I'm hopping it's just a brief visit, but you never know......................
We are so out of our league, both in players and Manager. I think both will really benefit from this season. I expected us to go down before the season started, but you always dream... I hoped we would show a bit more than we have so far. Still, It's not gonna hit me as hard as the last relegation, as I expected us to stay up last time.
Personally - and it's just my opinion, knee-jerk reactions like that are only ever a short term fix. Plus if we did, a) who is decent and available, and b) they'd be stuck with the same squad until January as Sir Alex has got. I firmly believe if you gave him (AN) the tools, he could do the necessary - but this is the Norwich City board of directors we're talking about. Doomcaster may be long gone - but 'prudence' still prevails.
Alex Neil has said that the efforts for recruiting new players never slowed even as the summer window shut. He clearly isn't content with the business we did. But all that planning goes out the window if we bring in a new manager with different ideas, and with less experience with the squad. Unless we start to be as cut adrift as Villa, I'm convinced that Neil will get until the end of February, when he's had time to work with the improved squad. We've got a really key run of fixtures in March, so if we're going to make a change then I think it'll happen then, so we can hope to maximise returns from those games with a new manager bounce.
Just seen this slab of sensationalism from the most pitiful rag newsprint was ever wasted on http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...Ruddy-caught-on-camera-in-late-night-row.html Some of the comments on twitter are hysterical please log in to view this image for example: Chris Gunns @chrisgunns However, the sun say he punched the bloke. Can't be true, surely he came out and flapped a bit and got nowhere near #SorryJohn

Maybe it's just me (in which case, apologies) but I totally, absolutely detest having to pay £146 a year for the "privilege" of a licence - only to have to tolerate (sports wise) a summarising team comprising Savage, Claridge and Lawrenson! I dislike all three intensely - yet am breaking the law - punishable by a massive fine or incarceration (worst case scenario, mind) if I choose to opt out of my licence fee. It's become just like the new generation of MOTD, when Shearer, Hansen and Lawrenson were on every ****ing week. Saying exactly the same bloody things Sorry, spleen vented, glass refilled
Mate of mine, a Leicester fan, was at the game tonight and had £5 on a 2-1 home win with Vardy to score first. At 30/1! No wonder he just tweeted me to say "happy days"!! Rock on Ranieri
So you ARE allowed to have friends supporting other teams, and still post on here. It gets very confusing!
In praise / defence of Alex Neil. By 'BigGrantHolt' for any twitterers. (KIO, you may be well advised to skip this post and move on to something else! ) http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/view...y_have_got_the_right_man_in_charge_1_4348274?
yep, I have been saying it for years. No sport apart from bloody F1 and tennis and both are apparently under threat in the next review. The BBC will end up with under 11's footy and Strictly. Their standards have plummeted, the radio however still quality.
Now whilst I agree with the sentiment that he is the right man for the job, knowing that Hooper got six goals in the PL 3 years back is not a nugget of information that I would be surprised that he knew. In fact I would probably expect him to know it, for that matter I would expect any manager to know how many goals a striker had scored who he was trying to assess. I would think that AN and/or his coaching staff would all have seen all six of those goals and a good deal more of each and every one of their players in assessing their abilities. From the start he has looked a switched on guy and if we stick with him I'm optomistic that he will give us some of our best years. Bah!
Please stick with him, even if we go down. He has what we need, we just don't quite have what this league needs (yet).
We have currently won one game out of eleven, are you guys saying we should stick with AN even if that record becomes one in twenty ? I do sympathise somewhat with the manager having to work with the inept clowns we have in charge of the football club but I'm afraid if we lose our next two matches which in all probability we will, the Villa game becomes somewhat of a 'waterloo' for him. Lose to Villa and we will be well and truly rooted in the bottom three and rather than fall on their swords themselves, Alex Neil will be made scapegoat and will be relieved of his duties. Perhaps not immediately after the final whistle, indeed he may be given two or three more games but by then I think the writing will be on the wall for him regrettably. I hope I'm wrong really I do, but there is a certain inevitabilty that Villa's season will come to life when they visit Carrow Road I think you can probably guess which of these comments is KIO's http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter...unpopular-decisions-are-needed/#comment-74197
