My abiding memory of playing Norwich is back in 1975. We had both just been promoted back to the First Division and we lost 5-3 on a hot August afternoon. One hell of a game.
This time I'm going for a 2-2 win with Emile and Carlos saying goodbye with a goal apiece.

We are safe, I therefore don't care what the score is.

Even an 18-0 defeat?

I remember Stan Staunton getting a peach in a 1-1 draw to keep us up.
I once got a coconut at Blackpool.

Cuellar and Heskey's last game and another 0-0 or 2-0 loss. Hope it's someone elses last game to.

now we are almost safe , a cracking night in Norwich Saturday night and then I will go with a 2-1 win to the Villa.

Gt Yarmouth is a dump.

Now you tell us, after the hotel in G.Y. is booked and paid for.

Anyway, what does someone who lives in a village occupied by more aircraft than people know? ;)

 :o I know the different noise a Spitfire fighter and a Mosquito make...

enjoy your visit to chav-ville BC54 VFC, and I may see you at the game.

Hard to predict as it matters little to either side - typical end of season nothing game.  I don't think we'll win and Lambert may consider this a job interview and want to hammer us, but I went for a draw as that's pretty much what we do this season.

And I'll be cheering like a mad man if we score from a corner!!

My memories of Carrow Road are of two defeats in the Big Ron days, one on Boxing Day and one in the run in to the first Premier League title race. I'm going 1-1 or one of those end of season jolly type three all draws.

Martin Atkinson is the referee.

Well, according the the Premier League on twitter so could be twaddle.

Straight red card for Given, who would miss the 1st 3 games of next season and see us foot of the table with no points by mid-September.

The most mind-numbing 4-4 draw you've ever seen.
