Wet Tuesdays, Paul Warne and Argentinian playmakers

November 30th, 2018

Thankfully not too many City fans were massively frustrated about Tuesday's result, of course there is growing expectation but also a sense of realism and appreciation of the run Norwich have been on. Let's not forget, Hull are fighting for survival and on paper had many talented and experienced pla...

November 1958 and the visit of Ilford

November 24th, 2018

In early November 1958, there was only one topic of conversation: the hula hoop craze. This had swept through the Unites States, flown the Atlantic and even reached Norwich, a semi-forgotten outpost ‘somewhere north of London’. A gallery of photographs in the Eastern Evening News highlighted the ent...

Player... Canary Call... Manager... Happy Birthday Neil Adams

November 23rd, 2018

Happy Birthday Neil Adams, the Stoke born multi-talented midfielder/winger is 53 today.

Having kicked off his career at his home town club in 1985, his undoubted talents were spotted by Everton who picked him up the following year. Arsenal and Tottenham were also chasing after his signature at the...

Cup and League away encounters plus Ladies football and Ale

November 10th, 2018

So after a busy week volunteering at Norwich Beer Festival and after witnessing three consecutive league victories for City, I arrive at Norwich Railway Station for the journey to Bournemouth. Despite a complete signal lockdown between Stratford and Liverpool Street earlier in the morning it had bee...

Will the Lions roar this weekend?

November 9th, 2018

It's a fantastic time to be a Norwich City fan at present with the "one family" feeling spreading amongst the team and in the stands. City are no longer the team that assists the opposition by helping them end poor runs!

Eighteen years of hurt were dismissed on Saturday with the second half demol...

Back to the bread and butter

November 2nd, 2018

Even though City lost 2-1 to Bournemouth in the cup this week, the boys are really disappointed but I am sure positive from the experience having produced impressive stats from the game with more possession, corners and shots, which included hitting the post twice Premiership opposition.

The Cana...

Be careful what you wish for...

October 30th, 2018

At the end of last season and at the start of this campaign there were quite a few Norwich City fans getting on Daniel Farke's back... poor results and negative football being blamed. The mood has changed after eight wins in the last 10 games.

With old boy, Paul Lambert joining Town, we though...

Why demonise Paul Lambert?

October 30th, 2018

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.

As...

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. But having witnessed another Norwich striker bungle another penalty at Carrow Road, I feel the time is now right to shine a new light on the seemingly unanswerable question: how...

Mine is definitely bigger than yours

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.

When Villa scored the opener, the Barclay immediately set off a resounding chorus of 'One the ball City' whilst all home fans c...

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.

So rather than take in the new UEFA Nations League, I headed to Budapest in Hungary for a long weekend to take in the sights, sounds and beers f...
