    I want to plead with fellow Norwich fans to stop replying to Talksport's Adrian Durham on Twitter. He's a trash focused journalist who thrives on getting under people's skin. It's been said many times before but he makes brash statements to fire people up and get them to call in to his show. He doesn't care what he says or who he offends.

    For example his latest attack on Norwich regarding Chris Hughton's post-match comments about refereeing decisions. Hughton suggested that they were "almost criminal". Cue Durham ranting about how disappointed he was and that Hughton should apologise. Durham insinuating that Hughton thought the referee was a a criminal. When someone suggested it was just a turn of phrase, Durham said he'd never heard anyone use it. Yet 10 minutes later Durham called Wenger criminal for not playing Berkamp in the Champions League final.

    The man's a joke, a relatively successful joke, but a joke none-the-less. He'll say anything to get a reaction. Ignore him and he'll focus on someone else, or better still disappear.

    I feel sorry for 'Posh' for having that 'man' associated with them

    The Guardian describes him as an expert troll. Apart from the expert bit they are spot on. Best left unfed.

    I blocked him on twitter just so I don't see his retweets via the people I follow.

    Don't feed the troll.

    It will be Cardiff next season, as they have an ex Norwich Manager, and players.
    It will probably go along the lines of buying your way into the prem.

    I say leave the morons alone, they are all as bad as each other.

    low brow, low intelligence, low in class and certainly low in culture.

    That's him and the brain dead who listen to the **** on that dire station during the day.

    His an absolute toss piece. Our fans apparently sang things at him whilst he was sat with his son during the Cup after he'd slagged us off on the air, it obviously touched a nerve because he has some unhealthy obsession with our club.

    His new banter with us is to create an educated Norfolk character who sounded like he was from Somerset <doh>

    Dave, can you ban all posts/ articles regarding Talksport and Adrian Durham please.

    They are incredibly boring.

    Sad thing is many of the neutral chavs that tune in actually believe some of the confrontational bile that he drools - so we're damned if we do and damned if we don't <yikes>

    I've unfollowed him on twitter and would rather listen to Barry Manilow/Emile Sande - or fingernails down a blackboard. Just!

    ........and of course there is his side-kick Mr Darren Gough who, although to my knowledge has never played the game professionally, is a football expert. I'll give him his due, he was a half decent cricketer but his main claim to fame of course was that he won 'strictly come dancing' <doh>
