    World cup qualifiers

    Only saw the highlights but Rusty also appeared to put in a solid performance for the Scots. Croatia did not have that many shots on target. saw one trade mark block.

    Does Being Debt Free Make Us Vulnerable?

    Max If you cast your mind back Leeds and O'Leary tried the borrowing against future growth of the club based on one good run in the Champoins league. A high risk strategy than can end in tears. I also do not dispute that the Glazers have done well out of Man Utd, the question is more have Man...

    Does Being Debt Free Make Us Vulnerable?

    Thanks Bath I did not know that the club still owed Delia so much. In a perverse way that makes me feel better. Yes Man Utd survived the Glazers intervention and have grown the club. But Man Utd had sufficent revenues to get through the early days before the Glazers debt was restructured. And...

    Does Being Debt Free Make Us Vulnerable?

    I agree with posters that it is excellent that the club is debt free and also welcome the comments that the forward business model for the club is that of a mutual. My concern is that the Premier League is now seen as such a profitable investment opportunity, especially (but not exclusively)...

    Dyke's Task Force

    Howard Wilkinson Last English manager to win the Premier League but his teams best described as dour Dario Gradi Excellent and consistent track record of developing young talent (including Dean Ashton) Glenn Hoddle Great player sadly not given the number of caps his talent deserved. Did...

    Wenger Manager of the Month

    Lets hope the MoM curse strikes again on 19 October. Be great if we could emulate last season by beating Arsenal and then going 10 games unbeated!

    Ruddy England #1

    Which is why I enjoy watching Martin, Snodgrass and Whitaker playing rather than watch England.

    When did you start supporting NCFC?: A Poll

    Started watching Norwich in the early70s. Had a slight wobble 74 to 77 when my dad was working in Germany and we used to watch the great Borussia Moenchengladbach side of the time (Alan Simonsen, Rainer Bonhof, Berti Voghts). At the time hooliganism was rife in the UK so matchdays in Germany...

    Boys Against Men

    Agree we were poor. However the £10 I put on Spurs at 33-1 to win the title is providing some consolation.

    Should we be worried?

    Where the article is slightly distorted is that we had 4 bad away games: Liverpool, Fulham, Chelsea, Man U and one bad home game: Liverpool where we conceded 23 goals out of our total of 58 goals conceded. Bassong missed most of those games so I do not think the author picked a good example to...

    Scotland game

    Since Hodgson continues to prefer Hart over Ruddy I hope to watch the Scotland game tonight. Is the match being shown on any channels or does anyone have a link?

    Is Russell Martin a CB?

    I am one of Martin's biggest fans (have previously voted for him over Holt as Player of the Season). However like many others I now think he is neither our strongest RB or should start at CB when others are fit. My concern is he is now establishing himself in the Scotland team and, despite his...

    are you David Morley?

    http://www.sportinglife.com/football/transfer-centre/article/168/8856711/the-premier-league-panel Interesting comments from a panel of fans. Many tipping us as the season's dark horses. Stoke most fans favourite to join the three newly promoted sides as battling for the drop.

    Coventry City

    I have always, for no good reason, hated them rather than Everton for our 1985 relegation. However I have lot of mates who are true sky blues and feel their pain.

    Why are we still 4th favourites for the drop?

    Unlike last season we have done a lot of our business early this year (as we did with PL) so there is a good run of pre-season games for the squad to gel. Hopefully we will pick up at least 6 points from our opening 3 games and not look back.

    Championés

    Three of the usual suspects starting with new managers. Mourinho will prioritise European Cup, still wants to win it with three clubs. Moyes not up to the job. Pellegrini needs to re-build squad morale, they will miss Tevez. AVB will get Spurs off to a better start than last season. If they...

    Spurs (If Bale stays) Bolton Posh Northampton Luton Celtic Bit of East Anglian bias creeping in but can't extend it to the binners.
