    Not sure where but it was in a quality paper or on here somewhere. Oh, so if it's the second of those, hmm, I'll get back to you!

    Tweet from Chris Goreham - oh the irony, Wessi wanted a move to Villa during Hootun's tenure when he was frozen out of the picture, as I recall :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Chris Goreham ‏@CGoreham
    Interesting to hear Chris Hughton on @bbc5live talking up Wes Hoolahan's importance to Ireland's midfield.

    Not exactly a 'sleeping giant' Cromer, a small club who were bankrolled to the title in the nineties by Jack Walker. Certainly no bigger in terms of stature than us these days, in fact I would suggest we are a bigger club than them. Put it this way, if Delia had the same wealth relatively speaking as Walker did when he took over at Rovers, there would be no reason at all why we couldn't have won the PL title <ok>

    I take it you didn't notice my little winky-eye jobby at the end of the post? :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Haha. I can see Kio coming up with a negative spurious fact like that :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Jesse Lindgard called up to England squad. Again, same point as Delph. Although at least Jesse has played a few minutes this season and scored a couple. Still Think Redmond has as much claim to a call up than him. Both have much more of a case than Delph.

    A point echoed by Dan O'Hagen, freelance football commentator and closet NCFC fan (he recently moved back to Norfolk <ok>)

    Dan O'Hagan ‏@danohagan
    Nathan Redmond has been magnificent all season, in an unfashionable team, so doesn't get a sniff of the senior squad...

    Dan O'Hagan Retweeted
    Joe Walker ‏@JoeWalker77
    @danohagan Redmond, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Dann, Cresswell etc etc being absolutely cheated by Roy's big name club policy.

    Dan O'Hagan ‏@danohagan
    Lingard has started, for the record, ONE Premier League match this season. If only England realised there's life outside the top four/five.

    Dan O'Hagan ‏@danohagan
    Picking players in the right form, not just the "right" shirt might also go some way to making people care about the England team again.

    How true is the last comment! Plus fans of the top 4/5 don't give a stuff about England, all they want is their expensively assembled group of WCT to win domestic and European leagues and cups!

    I've been saying this for years! He sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Might give him a follow.

    He's a really good commentator but seems to end up with all the weird gigs like the Bundesliga, etc.

    Strange. Still, must mean he has a good grasp of world football.

    I think making a case for Redmond right now is a little bit of a stretch, but certainly Albrighton and Dann should be feeling very hard done by. It just feels like whoever is England manager, they pick one player from outside the usual clubs, and use that to justify why they aren't biased despite calling up out of form, or inexperienced players from top clubs.

    Agree with pretty much all that you said, but Redmond has played very well a fair few times this season, Scored and assisted. So what I'm saying is, compared to the likes of Delph and Lindgard, he definitely deserves a call up if they do.

    Don't bother watching England anymore - they bore me.

    Successive managers have failed to pick players who are on form rather settling for players who are not just because of the fact they play for a"big" club.

    He was the right manager at the right time, but I think he moved on at the right time as well. <ok>

    I have no squit with him - similar to Hughton, and wish them all the best in their new / current roles.
    Odd, really, since one led NCFC to the top table and the other led us away again :emoticon-0106-cryin

    But we're back, so all water under the {Carrow} bridge <ok>

    He's a ****ing arsehole who left us under a cloud. "There are things the fans don't know" he said. Oh yeah, well I'm still ****ing waiting to know you Judas prick, hope Blackburn get relegated and he never gets another gig !
