General Football Thread

I have talked many times to AlongComeNorwich about this kind of thing.

I also sent them videos of Hammarby in Sweden. Who I love. The flags, the Chanting, the scarfs.

I'm hoping they took all that in. Because they have now upped the Flags, and started talking about scarf holding in the past few weeks.

I'll try and find the Hammarby video I love, that I sent them, saying: "we need this!"

 

This is what I sent them.

This should be our Barclay:

Edit: The smoke in that picture is too much. I don't mean that. I mean the chanting, the flags, the scarfs, the intensity.

 

Nice video of Timm Klose getting acknowledged for his 100th cap for the club. His shirt presented by Jerry Goss. I didn't realise Goss had been away from the club for so long. Any discussion with a neutral fan about Norwich will invariably come back to that first PL season and the subsequent Bayern games. He's a club legend yet still incredibly modest and unassuming. I do like these opportunities to bring some old boys back in to the mix.

 

Another bit of trivia about Gossy is that he scored the very last goal at Liverpool's old Kop end before it was rebuilt

 

Here you go...

Very strange.

 

I'd imagine Asia is salivating over that one.

 

WBA 1-1 Villa at HT. Would love to see it end that way because Villa have been in good form and I don't want them to get too confident.

 

Villa leading 2-1 and they’re on a VERY good run.
EDit -
WBA equalise in the 92nd minute!!!

WBA 2-2 Villa at FT. Perfect IMO. Albion's late goal was off the hand but counted.

 

See my edit.

 

Villa were getting a bit close and missed a hatful of chances in the 2nd half.

 

Good, I might get to see this one

 

You could be right. 1.30 am for me, Thai will be 1 hour earlier and most of Aussie later still. So basically for the Yank and Europe market.

 

Apparently it would be bad for English football if Norwich and Leeds get promoted because we're denying English managers to be in the Premier League, well if they're not good enough to get promoted then maybe they don't deserve to be mangering in the top flight.

 

So long as we go up I don't give a toss about dirty Leeds.
