I can't wait to see the comments on the EDP website - http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwic..._championship_promotion_next_season_1_4560404!!!!
Another article by Michael Bailey from the EDP which, despite being rammed full of stats and quotes from Deloitte and all, carries a poignant message in the final paragraphs:- According to Deloitte, the 2014-15 season saw Championship clubs’ wage bill (£541m) finally drop below revenue (£548m) – but it doesn’t take a genius to realise that situation cannot continue indefinitely. “This remains an unsustainable level of spending without the support of owner funding,” added Deloitte’s report. The Championship still has a long way to go before it can be considered a financially healthy place – and any prolonged spell in the second tier would be a difficult environment for the Canaries to inhabit.

I like the look of the England starting side. just depends on the formation and positioning really. Hart, Walker, Rose, Smalling, Cahill, Dier, Milner, Alli, Rooney, Kane, Vardy
Surely: Hart Walker, Smalling,Cahill, Rose Dier Milner, Alli Rooney Vardy staggered just behind Kane?
Can anyone tell me what the point of Milner is? All he does is slow down moves and lose the ball. He used to have a bit of creativity in wide positions, but centrally he's a waste of space.
Can anyone tell me what the f*cking point of starting Vardy is, when we never played him a long ball to run in behind all game!? Instead he was asked to track back! Then sub him because for some reason, he's not making the same impact as for Leicester! The Champions! So sub him, and leave Rooney on, who has also offered nothing! And push him up front, where he can't even get a game for a very crap Man United. We wont get out of the group stage with Roy in charge.
Rooney can't play up front for United, because of how good Rashford has been. Rashford can't get a run out tonight when we need a goal, because Roy wants to play Rooney.
This from the BBC Gossip column! Match of the Day commentator Conor McNamara tweeted this impressive stat:"Leeds United have had six manager since Jack Wilshere last completed a full 90 minutes for Arsenal."
He looked decent when he came on last night to be fair, I think he is just a cut above the rest of the midfielders we have (when fit!)
Wilshire is a gamble with his fitness issues, but as last nights cameo illustraited, probably one worth taking. I'm not sure Drinkwater could offer as much. I can see a tournament blighted by Woy's inability to accept that Wooney is a spent force. Playing him out of position or in position, what ever that is these days is all the same. He had a crap season and will drag this young team with a small amount of promise down. With his international goals he is probably worth a place on the bench, but does he really turn up to tournaments? None of the players will have much of a chance though if Hodgson is still tinkering and trying to figure out how to accomodate Rooney? 3 friendlies, no continuity in selection or set up? Woy may not have a clue. I understand the need to give the lads game time but surely it's game time in the right system with the right team mates who you need to bond together, given the lack of time a national coach has to work with his team. Bah!
South stand to be renamed again, what would be the best sponsor? The British Library or the UK picnik association? Bah!
One of the supports could be called the 'Sibierski stanchion', as that's just about how mobile he was in his time here!
This is brilliant! Go Laffers! http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwic...ferty_has_pub_renamed_in_his_honour_1_4562827 Maybe Micawber's Tavern on Pottergate should have been called " Keith O'Neill's" a few years back! He and Shaun Carey kept it going, to all intents
I see that Arsenal beat Scotland 3-0 yesterday. Obviously Martin, Whittaker and Naismith were not playing if that was the result. (Tongue very firmly in cheek).
