Match Day Thread Norwich v Hull City

Many of those complaining about Wednesday away should have done something really daring, bought a ticket in advance. I did so when we played Man Utd in the league cup away in 1988, and watched lots still coming in half an hour after kick off. Lesson already knew, but reinforced.

 

4-0?

Go on then.

 

If you look at the odds of the correct score for the first 3 games, the odds are 33/1, 18/1 and 100/1. This means that a £10 bet would give you about 650k. Come on, dare you miss out?

 

If it’s 3-5-2 (or 3-4-2-1 if we’re splitting hairs as Crooks and Gelhardt played as two number 10s off Joseph against Charlton) then I’d go with Coyle at right wingback if he’s healthy enough. Thought Drameh was an accident waiting to happen against Charlton. For some reason, he cannot head the ball or anticipate the flight of the ball in the air if his life depended on it.

 

I might have a cheeky fiver on that City score.

 

I think he got voted the worst ever forward to wear the barcodes in a Toon Fanzine....Still think they say 'do you recall the time we had Billy Whitehurst' not in a good way, when looking back at the thinner and thinner times they had in the 1990s or whenever he was there.

 

Fully agree with all this. Only change Destan in for Egan and switch formation as you say.

 

I remember that. I think Billy Askew was also voted one of the worst midfielders.

 

Thinner and thinner times, absolute bollocks, compared to us they're Roscoe Arbuckle.

 

Was that the 5-0 game, maybe 6-0?

 

5-0, chaos afterwards with a hotdog stand turned over.

 

Think 6 was the aggregate?

 

Silly sausages

 

Hot diggity dog, I just checked and it was 6-0 on aggregate, although it was 1987, age shall weary them!

 

I don't remember that win .
Nowt worse than an away trip when you get hammered. I remember in my early years of regular away travel (the years of Richards and Eccleston at the back). I was in a freezing cold open stand at Barnsley watching us lose 5-0. Thinking things must get better, I was in a freezing open stand at Huddersfield a month later, watching us lose 5-0

 

Did they have a short spell in L1?...Maybe not, but there have been some bleak times, but not half as bad as us. I'll give you that.

 

It must be a good time to post this.

 

Always top flight or the league below it, positively anorexic.

 

Did he bottle it (allegedly)?
