Subject: Glen Roeder

I said the same sort of thing, as a West Ham fan we knew only too well what he was like!

If he had kept his mouth shut and got on with his job then I think he'd still be there. But then he started saying things like "I must have missed your tenure as England manager" to fans when questioned about why the team was performing so poorly. They're a fairly patient lot in Norfolk, but it's fair to say that he wasn't really liked by anyone here.

After last seasons' escape I thought "nah, we'll be alright this season". but there we are, above 3rd from bottom by goal difference.

Smart money locally is on Aidy Boothroyd to replace him. All of Roeders backroom staff have been dismissed, which leads people to think that a replacement has been lined up.

Well lads. Didn't want to bleat on about it before Glenn had gone, however they have decided I've got experience of relegation dogfights, and so I'm expecting to be announced tomorrow.

Just a few contract wranglings to be sorted.

1. All games against forest to be a walkover. (No change from previous)
2. Team to drop the green and yellow kit, and play in Garibaldi red
3. Delia Smith (old and ugly) to be replaced by Nigella Lawson (old and less ugly, although less likely to drunkenly amuse fans of other clubs. However her dad was chancellor once so should be able to find us some cash).
4. Team formation set up to maximise training. Likely to train midfield, so 3-5-2 or 4-5-1 to be played.
5. Redjim brought in as fitness & healthy lifestyle coach.
6. Woppa brought in to bring players back from nightclubs before kick off.
7. mr_gibbage brought in to sell pies from the burger van near the main entrance.
8. norwichcitynil brought in to increase game attendance by 10%
9. Nigel Clough to be signed as striker, to cause Derby manager heartache.
10. Club favourite Jim Magilton brought out of retirement to play in midfield.

Garibaldi Red - I think that was the away strip last year.

I assume Jim Magilton was a joke, the rest I think you have a good chance with. Considering the likely competition.

1 question, have you ever been within 50 miles of Naaaarch ?

And apart from ms Lawson, the rest would only cost a few folding.

true, might prove problematical to buy saatchis' wife. how about kerry catatonia ? gets dirty quicker, cheaper too ?
2009-01-14 22:45:28
She's more likely to ransack gibbage's pie van and cause a fracas.
2009-01-14 22:47:59
I've been to Great Yarmouth. Practically Norwich by the Sea.

Jim Magilton is bob on. He's a norwich hero I hear. Glenn told me so.
2009-01-14 22:55:45
then she'll fit in just fine.
2009-01-17 23:38:13
Question is, who will eat all the pies?
2009-01-18 20:44:03
Duh, the 'winner' of the fattest user competition will of course.
Then Woppa will deadlift them.
2009-01-18 20:54:43
With added pies to show off?
