CONFIRMED Oliver Norwood

[TJB.]

5.8/10. Needs work but there's definitely a song in there somewhere!

 

[Pinchy]

You know exactly what she meant you twat

No I don’t you blinkered, parochial local hero. What did he/she mean? At whom was the bereavement consolation aimed?

Look at his face, has he just read the last 4 pages of this thread?

 

[Onetouchfootball]

Good to hear from you again Singlecellbrain. My friends and fans have orders to shoot me if I ever get a Twitter account. A land where people who know nothing confirm it tweet by tweet.

You have friends, when did this happen?

 

[I should coco]

You provide some witty, intelligent stuff. Did you perceive any humour whatsoever in the comment in question?

You can't butter me up to get me on side you know!

Don't forget that I'm a died in the wool hoofer and self professed enjoyer, of Bassett's early 90s tenure. That would probably mean that my opinion is not worthy.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

he looks absolutely thrilled

Not bad to say he’s pissed on mythos in Crete

 

[mattbianco1]

Official Site are going with the headline "Norwood Speaks". I'm glad he does, he'd be a pretty shite midfielder if he couldn't



edit: Listened to the interview, he refers to his youth career at "United"... get that out of your way now lad.

 

[Booker4]

he looks absolutely thrilled

Maybe he thinks Sheffield all looks like Shirecliffe, having being at Fulham and Brighton that could be a shock! I

I'd love to upgrade to Shirecliffe, I live in Shiregreen! Ha ha!

 

[blades78]

This was prophetically true. Wow.

Is he Chris Wilder?

 

[TJB.]

Not bad indeed, but also explains a lot

Gradually throughout an eventful life in which I’ve read a lot of good books, seen a bit of the world and been able to hold meaningful, lucid, face to face conversations over a pint or a glass of good red without having to cut and paste tripe from the internet.

It’s far more satisfying then pretending to know what you’re on about on fucking Twitter.

Suddenly the first 11 is starting to look fairly tasty.

You provide some witty, intelligent stuff. Did you perceive any humour whatsoever in the comment in question? At the most generous, it was a silly jibe at people who might have thought Lee Evans a decent player. This, rather than express pleasure at the recruitment of a very good player. Sorry, my own sense of humour is sometimes unfathomable but I just don’t get it.

Sorry, it wasn’t meant to offend in anyway. Actually, I rated Lee Evans he was a good signing for where we were last season but honestly I didn’t understand the fuss when he was sold on deadline day and I thought it was a bit of an overreaction. We all have opinions, it’s a forum. It was also meant to be lighthearted.

But please, it is absolutely unfair to make accusations like that. I’m aware of what’s being discussed on other areas of the forum and think it’s absolutely one of the bravest and honest discussions on a football or social platform I’ve seen and shows how close knit our fan base can be.

Anyway cracking signing and a massive inprovement since this time last season.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Well I'm bored with all this Norwood talk when will the other two newies get an airing?

 

[BigBed]

I live in Killamarsh, never heard of Norwood.

Can't have lived there long then.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

I always get my first inkling of imminent signings from the sudden spate of wanker posts.

Great interview with him here. He speaks very well.

Sounds like Knill made the initial contact, as they worked together at Scunny.

More expensive than Wessy

Nah the rents live there, there's no decent boozers around here at all.

No decent boozers where, in the marsh!??
I must disagree heavily there.

That isn’t the first XI, is it? Certainly not the front two, neither of whom can be said to be first choices.

Same owd United. I demand a statement.

That looks very good mate but we know Leon will start ahead of Woodburn.

West End - literally like being in my nans house, bar is like a converted airing cupboard.
Midland - absolute shit hole, not bad for live music now and again though.
Bull and Badger - shithole, now apartments
Killamarsh WMC - Say no more

Not sure on the others

Don't worry about it pal.
Bit of a wanker thing of Pinchy to do to even bring that up, when clearly that's not what you were getting at.

FWIW I liked Lee Evans though...

 

[Pinchy]

Plus on Twitter you only get 140 characters.

Is that right? In that case, I’ve got 140 spare, free to a good home. The only condition is they may not be used to cap-doff slimy Tories or encourage hoof...

It wasn’t clear at all. It made no sense whatsoever. Wait until Sharp leaves and see what people think to exactly the same remark.

Hypocrites.

5.8/10. Needs work but there's definitely a song in there somewhere!

To the tune of “Norwegian Wood” by The Beatles:-

We once had a player
Or should I say
He once had us

He, didn’t want us no more
So Chris said “that’s poor”
And showed him the door

When they heard he was leaving
Some said “Tufty’s out of his mind”
Others thought that he wasn’t
And said they were being unkind

Chris, said “We’ll be fine,
I’ve someone in mind,
Just biding my time.

And now that bloke has signed,
Isn’t he good
Oli Norwood

 

[Eric Cartman]

Hypocrites.

You brought up what discussions are going on in this forum for no apparent reason. Has no link to what G&J said at all, it was a correlation you didn't need to make.

Lee Evans can't be compared to a club legend btw.
