Well, I have to say that I'm pretty underwhelmed by our opposition for the final game before the season starts on 6th Aug -
Saturday, July 30 – Norwich City v Hannover (Carrow Road, 3pm). They were relegated from the Bundesliga!!!!!

Who were you hoping we'd play in our pre-season? It beats that Italian pub side that we played last year?

I was hoping we might have played one of the promoted teams to give us a challenge!!!

Ouch! Just seen we are officially "Championship" on here now. Few things more depressing than deleting your Premiership bookmark online and saving a new Championship one. I suppose this is a 1st world problem really. I shall get over this with your prayers and support.

I've already had one of my 1p5wich supporting mates telling me that they are back to their natural place above us!

Bah!

Bah!

I am querying the definition of natural. I am struggling to think of when this happened in the past 5 years

In fairness to the scummers they did spend a proportion of the 2014-15 season above us, all that mind the gap nonsense whilst NA struggled. But it was fleeting.

Bah!

They appear above us alphabetically, and that is the only occasion. Their motto should be "inferiority rules".

Yes you are quite right General, I obviously cast that time to the back of my mind

A bit random, Carrow Road in the 1960s.

Pre-Match analysis and highlights showing Lafferty as a total threat infront of goal. No wonder he scored so many. He looks great.

Did you purloin that from my retweet Cromer ?

I certainly found it on twitter, so the royalties cheque is en route
Don't remember when this was taken, but as you can see, the ground is in a 'transitional' stage

A pretty level headed view of our situation from Gary Gowers - http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter...alm-and-patience-and-some-familiar-old-faces/

 

[Walsh.i.am]

A less than level headed parting shot from recently released Adel Gafaiti.
Though he has a point, to an extent. It does seem that the last ounce of footballing expertise departed along with David McNally. Let's just hope the lunatics are stopped before they take over the asylum!!

I see Aston Villa have a new owner - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36522094.
I wonder if he'll try to get some Chinese players playing for the club????

Edit - I see Villa only won 3 games in total last season!!!!

Fascinating article by Ed Couzens-Lake about expectation levels.
One for the realists, not the instant gratification seekers.
I can visualise RBF, RER, OCF for example, all nodding sagely as they read through this
