Title: Norwich City Promoted
Post by: Chipsticks on May 02, 2011, 09:39:18 PM
So Delia's lot are back in the prem, and strangely I think they'll do okay.

Oh joy of joys.

It'll be good to see them back. I hope Forest will also come up - it'll be like a little early 90s reunion.

Have no problem with Norwich. Except that they killed themselves against us then lay down for Man U in 1992-93.

Seem a pleasant enough bunch. I bet Ipswich hate Middlesbrough even more now!

Good fans, good club.

Bit of a Blackpool, very attack minded but going to need to make a few signings to stand half a chance I'd say.

I've got nothing against Norwich at all, bloody great crowds to be fair, however no effing way will I be making the journey to Carrow Road next season, took 7 hours to get there last time for the most drab 0-0 in history.

It doesn't take long to get to Norwich. Which way did you go Luke, via Newcastle?

QPR, Narrrrich and Forest would be an ideal trio to come up.  Congratulations Canaries!

I'd definately much rather them than Cardiff or Swansea.

My Uncle is a Norwich fan, he's lived there most of his life so I have a bit of a soft spot for them.
Less trouble than Cardiff coming up I guess.

It was the official travel, there was some sort of roadworks, we ended up going via Cambridge and all the way up, it was the most draining journey i've ever been on.

It does if you get stuck behind a bloody tractor on the A roads.  I went to that and we left VP by coach at  8and got there at 5 to 3.

I'm glad they are back up. Always loved their kit because it reminds me of when I was a kid growing up in Erdington, playing football for Birches Green Junior school. Same home kit, great colours.

The A11 is much improved these days.

I went there last time we played them, Steven Davis made his debut as sub i think. Anyway, we were there for about half 11ish and had few pleasant pints near the ground. Seemed to take us an age to get back mind.

It's almost as far as Middlesbrough!

Well done Norwich and well done Paul Lambert! Bottom of the third tier to the Prem in two years. Maybe we could learn from the Canaries, they bought in the manager who's team spanked them 7-1 the week before! Chris Hughton maybe?
Title: Re: Norwich City Promoted
Post by: eamonn on May 02, 2011, 11:48:10 PM
Always had a soft spot for the Canaries, despite them derailing our title bid in '93. Back to back promotions is bloody impressive. And Delia is a legend.

Last time I was there Jimmy Rimmer was pelted with coins by the canary yokels.

BTW, it only took 3 hours back then and that was before the A14 was built.

I was hoping it would be Cardiff.

1. I think Dave Jones deserved it. Good manager. Comes across as a good person. And he has had a lot of crap to deal with.

2. I have had some good nights and weekends in Cardiff.

Really glad Norwich are up. Spent many a happy Saturday afternoon at Carrow Road in my yoof in the late 60's/early 70's when I lived in Narrrfuk. Hope I can get a ticket to revisit next season

I dont like 'em. Didnt like 'em when John Bond was manager, he would try and wind us up all through the 74/75 season but we had the last laugh.
Anyway that Delia's an old frump, much prefer Nigella.

Been there three times....lost three times. Still, fair play to Paul Lambert and Narrrch. An excellent effort to get two promotions in a row.

And as Joecrow says, there's something to be said for anything that annoys Ipswich, even after all these years they still get my goat to some extent.

Great memories of going there twice in a week. I recall we played them 3 times in the same week. Two draws at their place and Villa Park then a brilliant 2-0 win in the League Cup quarter final replay. Bloody long way though. I think we got back to Brum about 5 in the morning although we did stop off on the way back for a pint or two. Best memory was our coach sang 'The Bells are Ringing' for the whole journey back. And I mean the whole journey. Wonderful times.

I don't understand why her ''rant'' would put you off them. She was clearly piddled but also showed how much her team meant to her. Nowt wrong with trying to rally the fans in such a way...indeed it takes some balls (or not in her case).
She's come a long way from the shy girl who demonstrated the best way to make a Victoria Sponge back in the day.

If they carry on attacking in the manner they do (quite physical and reliant on the big fella up front) and we carry on defending in the manner we do I think we have two difficult games against them next season.
