whilst i couldn't give a toss about many other football clubs, I do think you are a bit unfair in what you write on the subject of Norwich City's status and have painted them like they are a Swindon, Barnsley, Blackpool or a Burnley. They have been in the Prem a few times before, and were founder members lets not forget.

apart from that - nice article.

Being founder members of the Premier League is like being in the original line up of the Bootleg Beatles.

I made the same point on Saturday how Norwich sold out when their away following used to be on a par with Wigan. I guess it is the improvement in tractor design that allows more of them to travel.

They've certainly got less history than the latter two and won as many trophies as the first.

point well made, fair comment. Think Norwich are a bit more bigger than what you suggested that is all.

This boy Woodhall writes a decent piece. He'll go far.

He bloody won't. He hasn't even bought me a pint yet this season, the tight bastard.
