Subject: The Official Norwich Pity Thread

And I thought the dandies got off to the worst possible start. Lost 3 defenders from the squad from last season. 1 more defender injured before the European games. Failed to replace any of them. We play a back 4 which included 2 midfielders and were promptly pumped 8-1 on agg.

norwichcitynil, It could get worse, our old Manager is still available. Personally I thought tantastic shade of teak tango man can do a decent job with a small budget. But plenty would disagree. Id guess Norwich must have one of the biggest budgets in div 1, JC wouldnae have experience of that situation.

PS Did Stephen Hughes play? We were after him, but you offer double the wages for him.

How come the headline wasn't "GUNN FIRED!"

I bet the Sun / Star etc use that one.

or, "Gunn shoots blanks"

Hughes played against Yeovil in the Carling Cup. We were a disorganised rabble drawing 0-0 before he came on, after he came on we settled down and won 4-0. And he's not fully fit yet.

Worth the money it would appear.

Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink has been linked with the managers job. As has Bupa out-patient Joe Kinnear.

I can join in now. :)

It could be worse. Norwich could have spent lots of Millions on a buch of has beens and never will be's and yet are still in the bottom 3 of the Championship, while you'r neighbouring team, the Mighty Magpies have a 100% win record and look to be surpassing the 'Tricky Trees' about this time next season.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

bottom 5 I'll have you.

Hark at you, now you have a bit of money.

Once they sheikh gets bored, you'll be back in the poop.

you saw what happened with city, as soon as these teams get a bit of money and sign 1 or 2 high quality players, fans of that team come out of the woodwork ;)

I think that sheik is in it for the long run.

Saudi want the 2018 World Cup, in having a sheik buy the oldest club in football, they are showing their credentials.

I sporadically caught some of The Football League show last night and noticed you have a played called Hoolahan. Is that right? If so, that's brilliant!

Weirdly, he's one of the better players in the league. He's Irish you know.

Weirdly? I think there's loads of great Irish players.

Actually, you're right - it's not that weird at all. Maybe it's weird that he chose to stay with us / couldn't get another club over the summer, but even then that's not that weird.

Time to feel sorry for, or more likely laugh at Norwich again. 3-0 down at Tranmere at half-time, and it's live on Iraqgoals.net
