Nick, you are aware aren't you?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Duty what is actually wrong with a gay person?

You do seem to have a big dis-like to them?

WHAT'S THIS GOT TO DO WITH THE THREAD NICK?!

(btw no hyphen needed in dislike)

Nicholas, I am a gay person.

It would be incredibly hypocritical of me to dislike gay people.

It'd be quite funny as well.

Although it'd explain your dislike of Nick...

I'd be even more confused than I am now!

Nick ..duty isn't some self hating gay or bi mate. He just dislikes the song and dance campness and political rights aspect. Fair enough...

Teamed up with a Hungarian team for some reason

[westisbest]

This game sunday has Grant Holt off the bench to score the winner written all over it.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

If that happened I'm not sure whether I'd laugh or cry...

Will forever   Holty

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

*Cries into the night*

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

We couldn't score

*Rinse and repeat*

[guildfordbat]

Olly - sorry to hear on MOTD that Duncan Forbes is in a bad way with Alzheimers. Realise he was before your time but take it from me - he was as hard as old boots and gave everything for your club.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Yeah I've heard good things about him Guildford, gave some money towards his foundation thing

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Well if we would show the intent that we did against Sunderland against all the other teams around us I'd not have a problem with Mr Hughton!

Lets see if we can get a run going and some consistency with the trip to Swansea this week. I'd take a draw right now

[Soldier_Of_Fortune]

I have to say it, I prefer Tetteys goal over Rooneys

[mystiroakey]

I have to say it. I dont   

But Norwich are safe- good work from them really. Olly like a typical fan takes on the downers way to much- His team is ok just inconsistent. But very much good enough to stay up

[Soldier_Of_Fortune]

Am sure Olly would love to share your enthusiasm!

[mystiroakey]

Its like someone telling me palace are safe, which soooo many have!!... yet norwich are in a much better position. I am certainly not feeling confident

Too many bad teams out there- norwich will end up top 13

Go the bookies and throw money on it..............NOW!

[mystiroakey]

there is no value on that bet mate

[Soldier_Of_Fortune]

Well they are priced @ evens to finish in the Top 15.

Plenty of value there mate, especially since you will think they will finish in the top 13

[mystiroakey]

maybe 2/1- 3/1 - not worth it mate.

If i had a gun to my head i would say 15th for norwich- but i can see them pulling of 13th just. but really not a worthwhile bet at all.

If I'm honest after what I saw from Sunderland on Saturday I do share his enthusiasm, they were utter utter dross

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

He must go.

That's the single worst performance I have seen from a Norwich side in my life. Complete and utter capitulation, spineless gutless pathetic

As early as October/November we saw this coming, but still the same spineless, gutless pathetic cr@p is erved up week in week out and now we shall pay for our board's ineptitude along with Mr Hughton's with our Premier League spot

[Fernando]

Welcome to the Championship Olly if you don't beat Fulham. If you do you're safe no chance they win 3/4 games. Unless Sunderland go on major run which i don't see.

I just can't see us beating them Nando, we never ever ever beat Fulham, and it's away as well.

We're pretty much relying on the three sides in their now to c0ck up

[Ent]

Fulham are pretty grim, if you manage to have a go at them you could well get something.

[Fernando]

Sunderland have Citeh/United/Chelsea/Cardiff left
Cardiff have Southampton/Cardiff/Sunderland
Fulham have Spurs & Norwich 

Realistically the only one id worry about is Fulham so if you don't win vs them it's bye bye Norwich see you in 2017.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Fulham are pretty grim, if you manage to have a go at them you could well get something.

But we won't. We didn't even go at West Brom today. They barely broke sweat in the second half

[Guest]

I'm still backing Nodge to stay up. They're still odds on to do so with the bookies and who am I to argue with them money grabbing bar stewards.

Them last 4 fixtures are horrible but this is English football.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

They'll stay up. Norwich will scrape by

Yes that could well be your problem.

Any chance of a semi mutiny and the players just breaking free from Hughtons shackles.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I just pray we can somehow muster something to get a win at Fulham

But we look devoid of confidence

[NickisBHAFC]

Why did you're fans lob stuff at Hughton?

Hardly his fault, give the bloke time.

PRAISE THE LORD HE'S GONE

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I'm struggling to adjust to this feeling called "optimism"

[shivfan]

"They sit one place above the drop zone but face Fulham, five points behind in 18th, on Saturday before Liverpool at home, Manchester United and Chelsea away then Arsenal at home. Assistant manager Colin Calderwood and coach Paul Trollope followed Hughton out of the exit door. There are now no black managers in the top four divisions of English football."

The sad state of affairs in English football....

[mystiroakey]

he has gone!!

stupid timing- seriously wtf!!

[TRUSSMAN66]

Crazy 123....

Don't change it now...

[Stella]

Norwich looked doomed under Hughton. A new man may get the team playing with a bit ox extra bite? It was a risk worth taking, imo.

[mystiroakey]

Its all about the next game.

If whoever takes over wins it. Its worked. If he doesn't it hasn't.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Adams "We'll go to Fulham to win the game"

The positive approach and attitude is all we ask for, not the usual we'll they have real quality and we'll do our best to get something rubbish

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

No luck today, much much better performance which confirms that the board acted far too late in sacking Hughton. Many fans like myself have seen it coming for a long time, but the board obviously hoped we could scrape by and change in the summer, but you can't keep winning these must win games forever

And ultimately that is what is going to cost us our place in the Barclays Premier League   

Hopefully we can keep hold of our best assets like Ruddy, Fer, Redmond, Howson etc but I highly doubt it.

At least we're not financially f*cked like last time

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

You might as well just move this to the Championship section already    

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Today it felt like we got our Norwich City back.

I'd like to see Adams given a shot

[Fernando]

Im sure he'll have a field day in the championship Olly.   

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Im sure he'll have a field day in the championship Olly.   

In all likelihood he will be, but we'll scrap to the very end.

He showed today more ability to change a game than Hughton did in two years. He ain't no mug, and he knows how Norwich play best.

I don't see why we shouldn't give him a chance, especially if we are in the Championship (and then realistically we'll only be getting old retreads)

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I don't see why you should.
