I see James Nursey has given us his normal kicking in the press this morning with his 'happy you joined, Roy?' tagline to his article.

You'd expect nothing else from Nursey. He's a crap quality journalist and a Norwich supporter.

Like Pat Murphy, tries really hard not to find anything positive to say about B6 even when there is, so at the present time they are no doubt loving it.

I think Lambert's just desperate to make some kind of success out of this. He hasn't had any failings on his Managerial success as of yet, and he doesn't want to start now. Imagine how much credit he'd get if he can steer us to a top-half finish under the current restraints? I actually think that he's quite driven by this kind of challenge.

I've never doubted Lambert's drive to the challenge, the man wants to be a winner. He's a likeable chap. It's his football that lets him down. Maybe he'll change, get more involved this season and improve things but I've yet to see anything that makes me think he's capable of getting the best out of what he's got.

But it was his football at Norwich that was the main attraction, so something has gone amiss somewhere.

I had it in my mind Faulkner was leaving soon anyway. Is the FA position a part time thing?

Not sure why there is negativity about it, lots of people ridiculed him for some reason and its also often the case that management actively seek new work if there is a sale of a company in progress.

I know I've done it in the past - better finding a new job before you get the boot.

I don't mind Faulkner leaving but for how long are we to be without a CEO and if Randy has a say in it we could see another newby with no practical experience.

I'm sure this means nothing, but apparently the bloke on VT who works at the airport, thetrees, has just said on twitter that Randy's jet was supposed to be leaving to go back to the US this morning but has changed plans and is now going to Milan.

I just put this on the Transfer Thread, but that odd Facebook account claiming to be Fabian Delph has just written, "More good news coming your way, keep an eye out."

Doesn't the "more" bit imply there has been some good news already? In which case, what was that?

If (and it's becoming a bigger if with every status that he writes) it is him, he was insinuating that Faulkner going was good news, saying that hopefully now he'll be offered a new contract.

Probably the Bent signing is the most recent thing I can remember.

Don't know why you two are so down, we were 12 points away from finishing 9th last season. Hadn't you heard?

Yes that ties in with my ITK that we are being sold to the Antonio Family the famous Italian Ice Cream Billionaires and we will be changing our name to Antonio Vanilla

He's gone to sign Martin Laursen?

Indeed, the margins between top six and bottom six are so tiny these days, it can be decided by something as trivial as winning more matches and losing fewer.

Where did you get that lovely soft material that lines your walls? (Randy was asking)
