Maybe the Norwich players themselfs should....instead of allowing the ball to start rolling into their own net to many times the past 4 seasons........

The team and the name of Norwich FC, are a poor and sad reflection of the times they were in the same league of the likes of Arsenal. Manu, and Liverpool......... I can never understand the reason to actually pay to watch this consistantly bad performing team for so long .......... any other artist performing that bad , you would insist on you money back....... its obvious that the fans loved to be conned to go along with it all.

Some say a true fan pays to follow their team no matter what.......I also say what, and why ..... its boarding on being an idiot and paying for the privilege, when your team plays so bad for so long.

Class...!! I have to say though that City are in need of some real investment. Watching a Sunday morning sports programme recently the pundits were quoting some Championship clubs as being worth over 100 million pounds!! Time for Delia to flog some more books! At the same time this investment should be made in real quality players with real aspiration to reach the Premiership. Then I would be happy to pay to watch.

I'm not particularly a football fan although I listen to the City match on Radio Norfolk whenever they play because of the drama.
Mid-table obscurity is a pretty uninteresting place to be - but floating about at the top pushing for promotion or struggling to stay clear of relegation does get the blood racing.
I wouldn't want to see City fall out of the Championship - there is a feel-good dividend which manifests itself fully if the team enters the Premiership.
Now, however, it's nail-biting time - again.

Half-time at Carrow Road and it's 0 - 0 against Sheffield Wednesday - but you wouldn't know it from EDP24's Home Page - or sport page.

As far as sport dept is concerned, Gunn still expects Carrow Road to be rocking.

Sadly, it's not - Wednesday seem to be dominating the game.

So, it's Saturday, 5pm and Sheff Wednesday win the match 1 - 0; Norwich City still hovering around the relegation zone - and the local website report . . . is a preview of the match.
So much for the power of the internet.

Looked a very fair result. Mind you, I was in the North Stand.

Looks like it's all over now. Can only hope for a miracle unfortunately. Oh well lots of nice new grounds to visit next season.

A touch of irony in the final days of the season. I recall many years ago the Norwich fans were shouting for Barnsley to beat Ipswich to stop them getting promotion. Now of course those same fans wish Barnsley would roll over and give up.

Personally I do not wish to see Norwich go down.

Dismal doesn't come close to describing Norwich City's performance today at Charlton.
Alsmost any team or individual faced with the prospect of dropping into a lower division would make every effort to fight back.
Not City. They were pathetic.
This totally justifies every argument against loan signings and contract players.
These journeymen players have no loyalty or passion for the shirt - they turn up and get paid regardless.
On this occasion, they didn't even bother turning up.
Change the rules - bring in local players for local teams and end this mercenary cash-led game.
On a positive note, Norwich away fans will at least see different parts of the country to what they're used to - Swindon, Yeovil, Hartlepool, Oldham, Carlisle.
Very nice.

This is one Ipswich fan who is sad to see you go Canaries - the supporters deserved better.

Wot no local derby next season?

I have never been to a football match yet I am intrigued about how they got on!

A friend says there are too many loan players in Norwich City FC.    I would say the team ought to be one with all proper contracts next season; perhaps the better of the loan players can be offered contracts and the rest of the team made up from members of the youth team - to be trained up to play together like a proper team.    A friend went to a match last week, as her daughter works for the club, and she said the players were really lack lustre and didn't play properly at all!

If we had a proper team Norwich City FC will soon bounce up again - and the local derbies will resume! :o)
