    Perhaps we could introduce a law similar to American football whereby if you are awarded a penalty, you can bring on a specific penalty taker just for the spot kick!

    In the murky depths of my memory, I seem to remember one of our ex players doing that in American footall.
    For some reason the names Phil Lythgoe or Phil Alexander keep coming to mind.
    I could well be wrong though...

    I know one or two English players have crossed over but I have no recollection of a Norwich player doing so. <ok>

    Someone on Facebook is claiming that the City shop in Chapelfields is closing and moving into Jarrold's on London Street.

    Seems a bit strange as they've recently moved to a bigger unit in Chapelfields,.

    Anyone know anything about this?

    Wasnt there a tie up with Jarrolds regarding being a sponsor? Probably get cheaper/no rent and jarrolds gets increased footfall.

    Bah!
