I'm starting to think the impossible is going to happen and we're going down.

Where on earth is all the money though, we continually get the biggest gates in the division (despite being rubbish) and have sold a few players for big money in the last few seasons, plus had the much lauded parachute payments - but as ever we're skint.

My friend works for Norwich, and I went to watch you away at Coventry mid-season. Must say great club, great fans, stadium and city, thought you were heading down too but sounds like Glen has done something right there!! See you next season.

It's going to be a great season. Norwich have easily won their first three pre-season friendlies and have a squad that keeps looking better and better every time GR signs somebody. I can't wait to watch them play Tottenham on Monday. I think we'll get a good taste of what the season will be like from that one. If we can hang in there with a Premiere League team then we can do battle with the whole of the Championship. I'm ready for the season.

Squad looks good but I think the season is coming a couple of weeks to early. They have not had time to gel and we will no doubt start slowly.

Me thinks a 10th place finish.

Did anyone else see the game on Saturday against Blackpool, and if so, what did you think?

I thought we played very well and showed some massive promise. Yes, the boys up front didn't score the 3 goals that they should have, but everyone else did great, for the most part. Our defence was strong, though there were a few scary moments (like the heavy back-pass from Stefanovic to Marshall that got too close to the goal. Things got very exciting once Croft and Russell came on. I hope they both start against Cardiff.

Anyway, it looked good (aside from the missed goals) from where we sat. BTW, where do you sit? I'm in the Norwich and Peterborough Stand, upper tier, block S.

OTBC!

I'm a big fan of Glenn Roeder. He did a good job at Watford when he was here many years ago but was ousted after a change in the board and the return of Graham Taylor. Anyway, best of luck to Norwich and hope you do the double on Ipshit.

The last 3 weeks have been a bit like a roller coaster, haven't they. We had that first loss, which was quite disappointing, and then we lost that Carling Cup match against MK Dons...how pathetic. Then it was time for Blackpool--the first home game of the season. We should have won that one easily, but our strikers couldn't finish the job. At least our defence and midfield was strong, and thankfully Russell was finally substituted on. Cardiff should have been another win, but again the boys up front were struggling with those finishes. Cureton couldn't even score on a penalty! I figured it was going to be a difficult game once he missed that one, and then when Cardiff got their second goal I figured it was all over. Thankfully Lupoli and Croft didn't give up when they were substituted on. What a perfect combination they were. The Cardiff fans must have been absolutely gutted to see their team draw a match that they were 2 goals up on.

So now here we go, heading toward another home match. This time against Birmingham. How will we do? I'm hoping for a win, of course. I think we can win, as long as we defend as well as we have been (let's break the spell of giving away penalties) and move the ball around as well as we have been. And if Lupoli and Croft can continue where they left off last Saturday we may walk away with all 3 points. Someone's got to break Birmingham's current undefeated record; it may as well be Norwich. OTBC!

Well, despite your early optimism American Canary, it looks like yet another season of tedium is on the cards - I don't think we'll go down but I imagine we'll finish around 18th and yet again the club will blame parachute payments (or lack of) for all their woes. Not sure if I can be arsed to go on Tuesday (Wolves at home), its just no fun any more.

I don't think Roeder is the man - do you? We haven't had a decent mager since Rioch (not sure why they sacked him). Even Worthington (in my humble opinion) was never a good manager and got lucky with Huckerby who won the league single handedly. I said when we went up that he should be sacked before the Premiership season started, and certainly when we were bottom at christmas - the board were too loyal to him, his signings when we went up bar Ashton were atrocious.

It has been pretty rough thus far, that's for sure. That last home game was awful (against Derby). I still can't believe the way we lost...a dreadful mistake by Marshall. Talk about aggravation. And this last game on Saturday against Bristol was just as terrible. We should have scored several goals yet again. That seems to be an ongoing theme. Why can't we score? We can't even hit an open goal at the moment.

I may be at the Wolves game on Tuesday, but only if I get home from work in time. I will be at the Saturday match with my kids. A couple of home wins would be good. I'm trying to stay positive here, but it's not easy. How cool would that be to beat Wolves?

OTBC!
