It’s not often that I would find it necessary to quote Steve Bruce, but given his achievement in guiding Hull City to the Premier League, he perhaps deserves credit for his stark analysis of what clubs need to do to survive in the top flight.
So where did that result and performance come from? You would have to say probably around the start of December.
So let me get this straight. Norwich City will be in the Premier League next season but Sir Alex Ferguson won’t?
Youth is the dominant theme which has injected a stirring uplift to a stressful season for Norwich City.
Fernando Alonso will never be everyone’s favourite – but he keeps winning people over; on top of that, he keeps winning races. Indeed, it may well prove that the Spaniard’s victory on home soil at the weekend is the one to get his title challenge in full swing.
And so, after a roller coaster week, City’s fate is back in their own hands. However, whereas every other team in the relegation dogfight seems to have found a way to eke out a win when it was most needed City have been flatlining their way towards the abyss.
