Highlights since we last won there:

Watching them pass straight back past us after sending them down to L1

Selling Maddison not to Spurs for £7m , but to them for £3.5m and the loan back of his less talented twin.

Getting our first glimpse of the Mowbray/Slade dream team in a pre season friendly humping at Carrow Road.

Getting a second glimpse in a 6-1 thrashing at Carrow Road to their kids and reserves. 'Oh well, that's wasn't your first team was it? Oh...'.

Missing out on a last minute Biamou equaliser due to lockdown.

Giving it loads to the Barclay End after Fadz's screamer, only for Gavin Fucking Ward to rule it out half an hour later.

Finding a way to lose when a goal up with 30 min to play (cheers Kitch).

Finding a way to lose when a goal up with 30 seconds to play (cheers Lats and BTA).

Only drawing despite having 942 shots on goal, and their team doing a performance art recreation of the first day of the Battle of the Somme for the whole game.


MUST WIN

Don't say that.....

Except Ipswich are their Preston

To be fair, when Ipswich beat them at Portman Road this season, it was Ipswich’s first win against Norwich since 2009. Since then Norwich have won 8 and there have been 6 draws. Norwich really have had the upper hand against Ipswich in the last 17 years.

And now my fucking Shelbyville doppleganger is stealing my content for their forum (good likeness, tbf)

City v Coventry Build Up

Not a match a thread but as the title says. Sky Blues fans mainly being complimentary towards us. I really believe this match will be a cracker and it’s anyone’s guess of the outcome.

A win would be massive

from their forum(two can play that game!) :

'We last lost to them in the same season as we last lost to you know who before this season.'


It is written...

Our strength in depth will see us to another victory. The addition Esse & Mini , has lifted Mason & Saka , to raise their games .
Mini to most, is an unknown quantity, but he is on the front foot & drives forward , so great energy IF he gets on , along with Asante , but with Haji now scoring, another 30 minutes only for him perhaps ?
What a great position to be in , as apart from Rudi , they all seem to be getting back to normal
Another great away day

Some decent players who played for both sides

Youssef Safri
Darren Huckerby
Sam McCallum

Kevin Drinkell

I still think Kevin Drinkell is the worst outfield player I've seen play a significant number of games for us. At least in relation to the level they were playing at.

B*llamy- they love him

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

I was at that game

I was as well Torquay. My auntie had her American boyfriend over, he came to the game and said "jeez, are all the games like this! ....he gave me a programme. Pele's last game, a friendly ..New York v Santos, from memory..what a game ( Cov v Norwich).

 

[CovRes]

I think he was our highest paid player at the time as well.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

B*llamy- they love him

I couldn't bring myself to type his name.

 

[JohnWH]

I'd figure out a way start Wright, Simms, Saka, EMC, BTA, and Esse.
Dunno what formation but itd make, but it would be Norwich's problem to figure out as we score 4 goals in the opening 10 minutes.

 

[Shannerz]

I think he was our highest paid player at the time as well.

He played like he smoked 40 fags a day.

Surely you forgot Bellend - now I see you said decent

[fernandopartridge]

No, I just think away games in the evening are tough as that game proved. That said, I wouldn’t say our first pick defence is particularly strong at the moment.

Our last away win was midweek

Leon McKenzie.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Remember this like yesterday

Was there

 

[fernandopartridge]

Leon McKenzie.

Maddison
Dion Dublin

 

[CovRes]

He played like he smoked 40 fags a day.

I once saw him standing outside a shop in Oxford Street smoking a fag.
This was after he'd retired and was managing a Scottish club. But he had the look of a seasoned smoker dragged out shopping by his wife.

+ Daved Cross.

I mean, as well as having the athleticism of a heavy smoker, he did look like one, too. He looked 10-15 years older than he was when he played for us. Such a terrible signing.

 

[Shannerz]

Maddison
Dion Dublin

Better players than McKenzie.

David Philips!
