Andy Murray's year at Wimbledon? Doubt it...

So, is this the year for Andy Murray? His five-set victory over Stanislas Wawrinka on Monday night was the stuff of ‘British challenger at Wimbledon’ legend, originally made famous by Tim Henman. The question is, has Murray already peaked, leaving the

Charlotte Edwards - my part in her success

So the England women’s cricket team are the best in the world. Well, actually it’s something we’ve known for quite some time to be honest. Let’s face it, if owning the Ashes, the 50-over version of the World Cup and now the Twenty20 version isn’t enough

Canaries take advantage of C.Lakey's absence again

There is an unwritten rule as far as the EDP's Norwich City correspondent Chris Lakey goes – when he’s off, news breaks. It happened on several occasions last season and, after ploughing a tough furrow since City’s relegation and Bryan Gunn’s reappointment

Norwich City speculation - I know you love it

This is always a strange time of year – and we always seem to get up the backs of a fair few Norwich fans. It is the same scenario, and I’ve been on the other side of the fence fairly recently – the expectation of news on Norwich City, when most people

Under the weather

It’s pass the parcel time on the sportsdesk at the moment. The only problem is everyone knows what’s in the parcel and unfortunately it’s a stinking cold. I’ve had it, after probably catching it off Pink ‘Un Pete and others have had a go too. However,

All change at Norwich City

Well, there we go. I must have talked it up. The office has been buzzing since last night – not because it is good news, but that feeling that comes with big, breaking stories. I had just tried and failed to get something from Barry Skipper and was

The Norwich City board erm at Carrow Road

It has all gone very quiet, hasn’t it? Well over a week has past since Norwich City plunged into the depths of League One football, and we are still no nearer knowing who stays, who goes and whose heads will role for what was arguably the worst season

Gladiators....ready!

After a few quiet years, The Masters really returned to form over the Easter weekend. The committee running the show made a few changes with a few easier pin positions and changes from the tee boxes in an attempt to restore some of the lustre to the

From Lowestoft to Whitley Bay - again

So here we go again… Off to Whitley Bay this afternoon to cover the first leg of Lowestoft’s FA Vase semi-final. What will this year have in store? If it’s only half as dramatic as last year’s tie, it will have more than enough. Me and Jon have sat

The peril of the phone-in

Whenever Radio Norfolk pundit Neil Adams speaks to someone on Canary Call, there must be the thought in the back of his head that it all could go wrong. Doing a live programme like he does, when the adrenaline is still pumping from the latest Norwich

Those football gods love a laugh, eh?!

If you take a look one post down, you’ll see just how right I was (and JR for that matter). Football has a stunning, almost predictable way of dreaming up these scenarios. As soon as I saw Inter Milan and Manchester United sitting together in the Champions

Twittering on about Lowestoft - and why not

Last season I followed Lowestoft Town in the FA Vase from Crown Meadow, to Canvey Island and Whitley Bay, all the way to Wembley – and history might just be about to repeat itself. The game I covered on Saturday, against Hungerford Town in the fifth

When a cliche isn't a cliche

It’s fair to say that clichés often run rife around the sportsdesk here in Archant Towers. Most of them appear in the headlines you read, and probably raise your eyebrows at. One chap went even further last week and wrote in to complain, suggesting

Want to know what it's really like on the inside?

Rather than witter on myself, why not let one of our work experience visitors have give you all an insight, we thought.So, having been joined this week by Norwich City College student Ian Phillips, here is his take on his last day in the office... "For

Whatever will happen to the likely lad?

So where were you when Dan Gosling made a little bit of history? If you’re anything like me, you were sat at home wondering how on earth ITV could have gotten it all so wrong. But forget about the ineptitude of the television company, if you can,
