    Got the tickets, booked the train and reckon the game is perfect for us.

    Norwich have a style, at home, that suits our away game and I reckon we'll win.

    Our away support will be really up for it and I expect a great day out.

    This has come at a time when the home team would settle for a draw to maintain their points lead over us. It could be a topsy-turvy game or a total bore draw. But we are the ones that need the points so hit them hard early on.

    Norwich need to go for the win, what with their last four games, should be an open game

    Your going to have to be pretty bloody awful to get beaten by us. We are absolutly ****e at the moment. In all honesty I can't see us staying up this time, we can't score, can't defend and if we go a goal down we seem to give up.
    Glad Poyet's stabilised your club, it was horrible watching De Canio mangle it.
    Hope you enjoy our fine city.

    Norwich is indeed a fine City.
    I lived in Watton for two years, I loved going to Norwich. Great Yarmouth on the other hand...**** tip.

    Yep, Yarmouth is one of the worst places on the planet, never go there now, it's like being in some East European third world country. It's become a magnet for immigrants, social services just dump them there.

    Yeah...Didn't want to go down the East European route but...Yep.
    Norwich on the other hand I like. Of all the City's I've visited Norwich reminds me of home the most.
    That's meant as a compliment....<laugh>

    A fine city it is as well. The Fat Cat pub the best in England and decent down by the riverside as well with that massive Weatherspoons. Is the Blue Parrot still there, more bloody expensive than London in there.

    Last time I was there was 5th round FA cup in 1961 - Charlie Hurley header won it for us. Right now I will settle for a Norwich own goal.

    Haha - yeah I know mate. What's the next home game you're here for? You're one poster I'd certainly like to meet up with and buy a beer - can't really afford a trip to the South of France though!! :)

    All right mate, I'll have a beer with you anytime.

    As Gil says I moved back for the semi-final and stayed.
    We've been away a long time and we have grandkids arriving so would like to be nearer the family.
    It was great when the lads could pop down for the weekend but it's a big performance with babies etc.

    It was also getting on for £1000 every time I came back for matches and I'm as keen as ever.
    I can get to almost all now as opposed to 16/17 a season.

    I was at the Hull & Palace matches and me and one son will be up for West Ham.
    Let me know if you're up for a pint and we'll find you.
