Roy's View From... View From Norwich

[Large Mendonca]

If Norwich played football they'd be a decent side, but instead they're more interested in looking for fouls for little or no contact in their own half rather than trying to do anything in attack. They could easily have scored a couple, but somehow created next to nothing beyond those really good chances, and had no spell of real pressure in our box, their second half "domination" posed little or no threat beyond a couple of corners and there wasn't really any sign of the dangerous counter-attacking side that got promoted last season.

This is what riled me about them, and especially the referee performance 2nd half. We never had a chance to build any momentum because Narch played the ref, going down for nothing, and largely getting away with it. Ironically, it's what started our spell of pressure in the fist half and the lead up to Billy's goal - the crowd getting mightely pissed off at their tactics. I was praying that we would get riled again 2nd half, fortunately we only needed the 1 goal in the end.

Its a pity their main forum is still down. There were some absolute beauties on there just after the game. A guy called Ron was particularly bitter and felt we were granny mugging thugs. Another couldn't wait for us to sink back down to where we apparently belong, bottom half of the championship. A proper salty mustard pot

Norwich’s problem is that they overspent in previous seasons in the PL and carried historic debt. Therefore, they haven’t strengthened this season and that’s been exacerbated by injuries. We’re completely the opposite, we strengthened in the summer and strengthened in the JTW, we always target robust players who rarely get injured and we manage their fitness extremely well.
There isn’t really much Farke can do about their lack of spending and, if you can’t afford players that are good enough, there’s no point digging out the players you’ve got just for not being good enough.

There were 3 players near lunny but not one closed him down. They also had 3 against 2 in the box but still managed to give Billy the freedom of the six yard box, that's not doing the basics. I would expect any manager worth his salt to be mad about his players not doing his job. Maybe he does lay into the players in private but they are definitely not adrift at the bottom due to luck. Bad luck by definition does not occur every week

I'm hugely disappointed that the forum is down. We've been a big topic on there all season as they try to get their heads round why we are doing so much better than them. I think it could have been a hall of fame standard View From

Really find the view from some of their fans odd. They think that playing football in a way that has them rooted to the bottom of the division is so much better than playing football in a way that makes you a top 6 team challenging for European places, so much so that they wouldn't want our way at all.

I didn’t say they were adrift at the bottom because of bad luck, I said it’s because they’re not good enough.

Hmmm salty.

See you next season guys. Oh that's right, we won't.

[BigBed]

Seriously, who would want to buy Norwich?, I mean, it's Norwich FFS!
And, we don't have particularly wealthy owners in the grand scheme of things, even Chancer seems to have more money than us, he's just a bit silly!
And as for the irrational hatred of Norwich, there's nothing irrational, it's just plain hatred ta.
Oh how I love shitting on Norwich, although I'd take Cantwell off their hands.

Cheers Roy.

"Not sure I’d like to watch that each week" - yes because being in 6th place, on the brink of european qualification, is much worse than being rock bottom of the premier league.

Oh how I wish I was a Norwich season ticket holder right now.

Jeez.

Yes was going to post exactly the same - fucking retards ! I wish we were bottom of the league and playing nice football

I'd take Cantwell just because of his name!

Really? His name is vowel change from being a Norwich legend.

 

[S64 Blade]

Sheffield United fans are a disgrace.... I know we’ve got some idiots at games like any club but would anyone actually pick a fight on a couple in their 50’s with an autistic son?!

I don't understand the relevance of an autistic son either, assuming this actually happened. If they were offered out, how would the perpetrator know the son is autistic? It's not immediately noticeable.

Cheers Roygbiv that make good reading and was certainly worth the wait, some real classic comments in there.
“Horrible place, horrible fans who seem to revel in their neanderthal image. Charmless all round”.
Never mind bud you won't be coming here next season, could be S6 mind if the EFL don't get their asses in gear.

“Rich owners. They aren’t planning with Prudence.”

“Sheff Utd and Villa have very rich owners, more £ than Delia. Fact is we are self funded until there is concrete offer to buy the club, of which there hasn’t been.”
WTF are these two on? we have only spent some of what you get for being in the Premier League, not really our fault that the same money for Norwich has gone on settling previous debts. I'm sure a modest investment in a few defenders would have served them much better. Maybe they have a point with Villa but not us Norwich chose to stand still that is the reason both us and Villa are above them now.

“Four minutes stoppage time after a player has spent three minutes rubbing his head for no reason and both teams have made three subs?
This game is ridiculous. Sheffield United completely outmuscled, outniggled and outhustled us today. ”

“The replay clearly showed there was no contact on McBurnie – it was pure cheating to add to the thuggery the ref completely ignored. If you want to watch a team like them you’re welcome to Robbie, but I never would. The ball was 80% over the line but just wouldn’t go in. Have we had any luck go our way this season?”

“The blades team is full of thugs. Two double-footed, off the floor tackles from Fleck unpunished. What the f?”

Oh dear Norwich were shithousing from the first real challenge in the third minute right up to the 36th minute when we scored. Feigning injuries taking an age to take goal kicks and free kicks showing very little attacking intent and slowing the game down to a crawl whenever possible. Good luck watching the Norwich way in the Championship although they will only see 30mins actual football I suspect, the rest will be time wasting

 

[Liverpool blade]

Cheers Roy. Talking to a Norwich fan at the station and he said he wouldn’t like to watch our style of football every week!!!.
he said we’re playing like Wimbledon did in the 80’s. The best quote from him was that they were building a team for the future. I just responded by saying enjoy your derby with Ipswich.
he was a complete twat.

Bide your time Roy, it could be even better after we knock the tossers out of the FA cup as well.

Farke Watch
I’ve noticed this a lot, and during match highlights on MOTD, with Farke when he is on the sidelines. He regularly has an index finger under his nose as though he is sniffing something on it to comfort him. God knows what it is?

Here’s an example. Anyone else notice this and have an explanation as to what it might be?

View attachment 73301

Probably sniffing his arse like Joachim love does haha.

Anyway. Norwich.... Extra salt on your chips?

 

[Bladesman]

If true of course

All I remember is some twat of a Norwich fan on the steps of the away end trying to start a fight with the thousands of Blades fans leaving the ground. If I recall correctly he got sparked out in the end.

McBurnie had a right good game yesterday- really enjoying watching him find his feet in the club now.

Sheffield United

They are such a frustrating team to play against. Are they a good footballing side? No. They are essentially a bunch of trolls. Hugely physical, win their 50/50s, nick a goal and defend in numbers. I admire them in a strange way, yet I cannot believe they are 8th in the league. Surely theyll be b...

Norwich remains the only place, in all the grounds I've visited, where it's possible to offer a two-fingered salute to the home fans from your seat slap bang in the middle of the away end and this be grounds for ejection and a talking to by the Police. And let's not forget that they asked for the South Stand to be told off for our naughty swears before.

They're just so... beige... with this weird belief that they're somehow doing this football business the "right" way despite being at the bottom of the table with half the amount of points.

My irony-o-meter almost broke yesterday when their bench complained about timewasting. They may have been called "mardy twats" and similar. We await the letters with interest.

I guess they were not policing their own fans who were making gestures towards Billy yesterday then.
