If there’s one narrative that has caught the imagination beyond football it has been the story of Wrexham. Whatever your thoughts are on the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney project you have to admit they have played a blinder in terms of marketing. This got me thinking – would Norwich City benefit from going all […]
Clubs like to talk about their long-term projects, the “DNA” of a club or in the case of certain ex-pundits “the Manchester United way”. This is something I wanted to think about – what is the Norwich City identity? Excitement “Norwich is proving a really interesting hotbed. I watch more Norwich City games than any […]
After much deliberation, my all-time Norwich City is now complete. As a bonus, we will also decide who will be the best all-time manager to lead this team to glory! Goalkeeper Loads of good options, we were spoilt for choice in fact, but I plumped for the one and only Bryan Gunn. Defence At left-back, […]
My Norwich City journey started in the Nineties. This was the first era of Teenage Mutant Heroes (Not “Ninja”- I have my own theory on that, but can be for another time), double bills of Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, sticker albums and video libraries. Now at this point the […]
My final All-Time Norwich City XI is almost complete. But a great meal needs a fabulous dessert to finish it off and this is why forwards, strikers and other attacking positions are needed to complete the set. A tough choice As stated before the reason that my all-time Norwich City XI is 4-4-2 is not […]
So far, my All-Time Norwich City XI consists of Bryan Gunn, Adam Drury, Steve Bruce, Timm Klose and Max Aarons. Now comes one of the trickiest selections and arguably the biggest embarrassment of riches – who do you pick for midfield? Wingers As a reminder, we’re going for an old-school 4-4-2, and one reason is […]
I like to think I am not alone among Norwich City fans in having matchday superstitions. It is absurd but then a lot of football support is absurd when you deconstruct it in your mind such as wearing replica shirts or queuing up for a person’s scribble on a picture. I am aware that by […]
Philippe Clement has worked wonders for Norwich City. From being almost certain relegation candidates to climbing into mid-table, the transformation has been exceptional. But the crazy thing is despite this massive achievement there are still areas where Norwich City can get even better. While I am sure Clement would probably have some choice words for […]
So far in the quest to create my perfect Norwich City XI I have installed Bryan Gunn as the goalkeeper. The next difficult choice is to decide who his defence is going to be? We need two full-backs and two centre-backs (none of your wing-back or inverted midfield malarkey here), so let’s break down who […]
At the time of writing, it’s the international break. So I have decided to choose my all-time Norwich City XI. This is going to be a difficult job, and arguably, a goalkeeper will be one of the hardest positions, given that you can only have one in your first team. With this in mind here […]
It seems strange to compare Mark Attanasio and his board with King Charles but in a way we are still getting used to this new era and what to expect. Some have welcomed him, others are more cautious. With everything that has happened since his takeover was completed, it is worth looking at the start […]
Oscar Wilde once said, “Experience is what men call their mistakes”. If this is the case, then hiring Igor Tudor was a massive amount of experience for Spurs fans and a big warning to Norwich City and other clubs around the world. Context There is some sympathy with Igor Tudor, as he was granted compassionate […]
