    Yes. Theo scored another 2 goals, he's done well this season.

    He missed 2 100% sitters! He should have finished the hattrick twice! He use to be talked about as an English Henry. This is why he never will be. 2 total sitters! Yet again, in 1 game, he's shown why he is class, and why he is sh*t. I don't think you can bank on him performing.

    Shame they're not a bit closer to the Portaloo.
    A stadium swap every Saturday and both could end up with full houses every week! <laugh>

    Championship top Scorers - Dwight Gayle is top with 9, but Jerome isn't far behind on 6, but he also has 2 assists and NCFC is the only team with two players in the top 10 in the shape of Ja Murphy, as they have 11 between them.

    We have scored 24 goals, 1 behind Newcastle and they had they're 6-0 defeat of QPR to thank for almost 25% of their goals!!!
    Huddersfield and Brighton have scored a paltry14 and 16 goals respectively. Despite our defensive frailties, we have the 2nd best GD in the league.

    I see Gayle got another 2. I think we probably should have signed him...

    This will make you cry into your cappuccino :emoticon-0106-cryin
    This from the EDP in January 2016 <wah>
    What if.......................................................??
    And the difference in price between the two is nominal - for what we'd have got, and
    could be easily offset by taking Turner and Whittaker off to the knacker's yard <ok>

    Just looking at yesterday's results up and down the divisions - you can instantly
    tell that Sunderland's 'lucky charm' came to pay a visit! <yikes> <laugh>

    The bottom of the PL has a familiar ring to it already and whilst I'd love to see Wet Sham and their dodgy owners relegated, I've a feelinig they'll escape and 3 relegated teams will come from the other teams in the bottom 6.

    Some snippets from today's BBC Gossip
    So Joe hart wants to leave Citeh -

    Christ, he had two seasons at Norwich all bar five games, if I remember correctly - hardly a 'knee-jerk' reaction by our board.
    And results / tactics were going down the pan at a rapid rate towards the (overdue) end of his tenure.
    ( I think he's speaking in general terms, not sour grapes about his time here - one of his three amigos Trollope just got the bullet)

    Yes Cromer, I'm sure you're right and if anything, he should have got the bullet from NCFC far sooner than he did.

    Disappointing. Wait all that time over the international break, and for Sunday football we get Boro Vs Watford, and Southampton Vs Burnley!?

    Don't think I fancy watching either of them!

    Nice one. SW have not been so good since their draw with us all those weeks ago so I was not expecting them to get an away win today.
