The official "Norwich City to 40 points and Premier League safety" thread

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

First topic message reminder :

Here is the place, to discuss all of Norwich's results this season, on our quest to reach that 40 point mark, and Premier League safety.

It starts on the 18th of August away to Fulham, and finishes away to Man City sometime in May

[Corporalhumblebucket]

40 points looking some way off at the moment....

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Like I said on the other thread Corporal, all our home games are favourable, not great at the moment, but we should scrape over the line!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Also get on Wes Hoolahan to score anytime! #ollytoptips

Noted.

Need a pick-me-up after losing 60 nuggets today.

Beginning to look like I lucked out once eh Freeky

Squeaky bum time for the Narwich

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Like I said earlier this season I think part of our problem at the moment is the likes of Snodgrass, Bennett and Pilkington need to contribute in a goalscoring sense.

Can't remember the last time one of them scored

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

The Wolf has scored twice for Lisbon tonight! Can't wait until he is here!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Hat trick for the Wolf!!!

Very much a poacher, likes to sit on the last shoulder

Good read

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Good game today, ultimately we played well, but Swansea did too, so not too disappointed with a draw.

Reading, Villa and WBA at home, I would hope we can get the 3/4 points needed to stay up out of them. Also Stoke away which could be a crucial game.

Arsenal up next, a game that we're not expected to get anything from. But we have a good record against them, and generally do alright, so I think a close game, hopefully nick something

That was one of the better games last season if I remember correctly?

You making the trip for that one Olly?

Yeah 3-3 last year, brilliant game. I went then, Morison late equaliser, although how Arsenal didn't score a winner I'll never know!

Not this time Freek, gonna go to Man City final day of the season instead. Plus one of my mates who I go with, is an Arsenal fan, so when we went last time, he didn't have a great time with me and my other mate mobbing him when Morison scored!

Olly - as mentioned on MOTD last night, Snodgrass is now your leading scorer. That certainly suggests you need the Wolf!

I'll awoooooooooooooooooooooooooo to that Guildford

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I have taken the plunge.

For the grand sum of £39 (coach and ticket) I will be heading to the Brittania again to watch the Norwich play.

I dunno why, it was crap last season, and will be again this. But what the heck, the boys need my support

Olly - I have to say that is an impressive piece of loyalty - voluntarily going to see a team play Stoke. I hope it is well rewarded.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Some may call it loyalty, some may call it foolishness, I myself call it money down the drain!!!

[GSC]

I call paying money to visit Stoke self harm but each to their own.

[Crimey]

Or hoping for a similar result as the 3-1 Villa win this weekend perhaps?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Hope Crimey! There's always hope!

[NickisBHAFC]

Been to Stoke once, when we lost 3-0 in the FA Cup a couple of seasons ago. Watch out for the little pikeys in the corner by the tunnel if you fancy a laugh. Also don't have any food, long wait for a pile of ****

Good bit of loyalty though mate

Me and Mr T are Freeky
£45 for the match and bus ticket

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Utterly robbed.

But fair play to Hughton, he got it spot on today. Not his fault the officials cant do there jobs properly

Sounds like you were jobbed Amy. That's a cracking price you got there.

[Amy]

home from arsenal, had a good day even with the result.
Norwich really do need to stop sitting back and allowing teams to run at us though as thats when we are always caught out.
1-0 up and sit back, should have ran at them and got the 2nd and bury the game, but never do.
the linesmans decisions were a bit meh tbh for the 1st and 3rd goals too.

[Crimey]

I think Norwich would just get picked off by Arsenal if they continued to attack, Arsenal's strength is attackng with pace on the break.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Yeah we were basically using the same tactics we used at home against them, and it nearly worked again.

[Marky]

Me and Mr T are Freeky

I bet you are

[Marky]

By the way, it WAS a penalty, my only issue is the lack of consistency across all officials giving it as a foul.

[guildfordbat]

Yep, Marky is on the mark.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I said on the other thread I thought it was a pen!

Would have been interesting if that had been in the other box, wonder if the lino would have given it our way from 40 yards away...

[ncfc_Tooze]

so under 18's go through on pens and will now face liverpool or chelsea in the final. was a great sized crowd of close to 10,000 with just the jarrold stand having no seats sold due to that being where the cameras were set up. atmosphere was also very good

No idea if that's true or not by the way guys He's agent seems to think so

[Amy]

Mcnally has said there is no such clause and is our player come july

[GSC]

My interpretation is he has a relegation release clause which allows him to leave for cheap, like the stars of QPR etc will no doubt have in their deals.

[Amy]

wouldnt be able to move until jan earliest though as cant move twice in one window?

[GSC]

I'm sure he can, just can't be registered twice I think. In this event Norwich wouldn't register him this early.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

He's coming no matter what division we are in.

We paid monies up front to Sporting to help them pay there wages, so would be very silly to have some sort of go down he aint coming thing in it.

Once he is here, and if we do go down, then who knows

[Soldier_Of_Fortune]

Are you sure you have paid them yet and its not just some sort of rumour?

I cant see RvW coming if you are in the Championship

[Guest]

Gordon Bennett Olly you are nearer your target.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

2-1 win today, should have been more, would have been bar McCarthy having a blinder in goal for them!

Whisper it, very quietly, but that should see us all but safe now!

CHA CHA CHA

[Amy]

Great win and edges us closer to the safety point a win or even a draw next week and its done but the shouting for me

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Happy Ip5w1ch day

[Amy]

4-1
5-1
9-2
