Found this the other day – it’s one of only three England games I’ve ever attended.

 

Shilton, Stevens, Pearce, Butcher, Adams, Robson, Webb, Waddle, Beardsley, Lineker, Barnes.

 

A fairly decent England side (despite the disappointment of Euro ’88) – 7 of whom would get within penalty kicks of the World Cup final 18 months later at Italia β€˜90! Walker came on for Adams and Cottee replaced Barnes in a 0-0 draw.

Turf accountants are the pit of capitalist profiteering and exploitation of the foolhardy pipe dreams of the lumpen proletariat.  As a socialist, I will never set foot in a betting shop.  I must say I'm surprised GJ.  Bookmakers are among the strongest examples of parasitical capitalist scum!

Hughton has the next 8 games to get Norwich out of trouble because your run-in is awful:

Liverpool (H)

Man Utd (A)

Chelsea (A)

Arsenal (H)

One of those games where we deserved something out of the game. We matched Derby and their extra player (the referee - Mr I'm going to be completely inconsistent and only give Wednesday a decision when it is no danger to Derby).

 

I thought we played well and matched Derby all over the field at times playing some good stuff. An equaliser would have been a fair conclusion to the game.

 

The disappointing thing is the moment Derby scored their players hit the ground with a head injury after every 50/50 challenge. This blatant time wasting and attempts to break up any flow their opposition has needs to be addressed, it's spoiling football and it's cheating.

 

Still, encouraging football from The Wednesday and I think we will get our rewards sooner rather than later.

It won't happen.  If he gets 8 nil nils, he'll be pleased.  Should have dumped him after Xmas.  Can see Norwich going down with a whimper.  Might get something from Arsenal but that's optimistic.

QPR looked a certainty for automatic promotion pre-Christmas.

 

Looking at the past 4 games you might think so, but 2 of those were against promotion rivals in Derby and Reading. The previous 4 were all victories. Looking at the table and results alone (I only see QPR once a year) I would say they are placed well and a strong finish could see promotion through the playoffs (I think automatic may be a stretch given the form of Derby and Burnley).

 

Are you a QPR fan CS?

Can't stand the hoops although i've always enjoyed watching games at Loftus Road.

 

I was just about to say Burnley is in the North West, but realised you probably meant Forest.
