Saturday’s chant from the Barclay End was sad. After a six strange years in a series of managerial roles that - for a variety of reasons – didn’t work out, he has been given the opportunity to revitalise a struggling Championship club. That it happens to be Ipswich Town is surely irrelevant.

The Perfect Penalty: An Ex-Keeper’s Perspective

October 29th, 2018

Another matchday, another victory for Norwich City as their fantastic form continues, and I couldn’t be more delighted.

October 26th, 2018

Many of the you may well have noticed, read, voted or commented on the recent EFL fans Facebook page as to whether the small town in Suffolk is a 'bigger' club than the one which currently, is a mere 15 points ahead and 18 places higher, described as 'The Fine City' and is the Capital of East Anglia...

Look back on Villa and forward to Brentford

October 25th, 2018

There is a very different atmosphere in and around Norwich City at present. There is a real sense of belonging and working as a team both on the field and in the stands.

Replacing your Canary fix

October 17th, 2018

I've always been club before country and if given the choice would pick Norwich City winning any major competition over England winning the World Cup.

It's almost October

September 26th, 2018

So that’s another season over: a really interesting Test series against India and next year the World Cup and the Ashes. What can we do to fill in the time?

I guess it’s time for attention to switch to the winter game...... oh, they started at the beginning of August, did they? Seems a tad early b...

When will the real passion and teamwork return?

September 15th, 2018

Plenty of passion, teamwork plus some guts and determination will need to be in evidence to win today against Middlesbrough, the Canaries persistence with passing and structure will not be enough against a team run by Tony Pulis.

I had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful girl from Whitely Bay many...

Will City ever play Posh in a league match?

September 14th, 2018

I was born and brought up within the sound of St Peter Mancroft's bells in the heart of our fine City.

I am also proud of the fact that I managed to prize my away from Norfolk to explore other worlds, in this case 14 years in North Cambridgeshire and South Lincolnshire. The benefit of being in ex...

Memories of the Old Farm Derbies

August 31st, 2018

Just to put things into perspective, I am a early sixties baby, so at the age of nine I was extremely fortunate to attend some the successful promotion winning games, leading us into the top division for the first time which included Orient away to secure elevation and a wet Watford to win the title...

Chucklevision... Chuckle, Chuckle... Vision

August 17th, 2018

To me, to you, to me, to you... It would appear that Daniel Farke is basing his footballing tactics on the comedy duo and Rotherham fans, Paul and the late great Barry Chuckle.

The 10 changes which started the game against Stevenage were drilled to perfection in the art of slowing the game to a...

Matthews Faces Krul Reality

August 15th, 2018

Having survived Norwich City’s ruthless academy system to earn a professional contract, the 19-year-old Remi Matthews could hardly have expected that he would leave his boyhood club 5 years down the line without making a single competitive first team appearance.

The addition of experienced top-fli...

The lowdown on Stevenage FC

August 14th, 2018

It's first round cup football at the Carra as the Hertfordshire boys head to the City. Whilst Norwich City have failed to record a league victory so far this season, the 'Boro have managed a 2-2 home draw with newly promoted Tranmere and recorded a 3-1 away win at Crawley Town, sitting nicely 6th in...
