I do judge how big a club is by how many fans come. Some b ring pitiful amounts to Hillsborough - Wigan for example, each fan was individually named !!!

 

How many did we bring to the Riverside?

I should also point out that Derby brought their special crew, a bunch of coked up, steroid ridden 40 year olds. It's the first time I have seen a potential flashpoint for a few seasons. The polis were all over the place, however the Casuals were met with mucho derision, and the only likely harm was that they might suffer cardiac arrest. We rema

Gary Lineker is apparently incensed that Norwich have had the audacity to sack their own underperforming manager. 

 

Gary Lineker seems to think it's little Norwich's job to do the race relations bit while other clubs do the winning bit.  Norwich sacked Hughton because he's failed.  He bought expensive flop strikers and his tactics are the main reason for them flopping.  The football has been dreadful. There isn't a single Norwich fan who didn't want Chris Hughton to succeed. 

 

Week after week MotD pundits slated Norwich for their dire performances yet expect Norwich to persevere with a manager who delivered those performances.  That squad is mostly his signings to his tactics, coached by his coaching team. 

 

If Gary Lineker has a problem with Norwich sacking the only black manager in the Premier League and wants to insinuate Norwich should keep him on the books because he's (a) black, and (b) a former team mate of his, then he could always give up his job on MotD and recommend Chris Hughton or press his beloved Spurs and Leicester City to take on Chris Hughton.

I'm so glad my son could make it to the game of the season. We went 2-0 up quickly but Birmingham always looked dangerous. If you had bet on anyone to be sent off it would be one of their players since our wingers came in for some stick. We lost George Friend through injury and they had a goal back before half time (goal of the game) desperate stuff towards the end. Our first player quite rightly sent off in 82 for hanging onto a shirt , second booking. 87 however, one of their players seemed to fall over with no-one near him (from our angle- must see it again) another sending off.
Cue total attack along with the kitchen sink by Birmingham, and our defence kicking the ball out anywhere. One spectacular boot upfield and their two centre backs and goalkeeper panicked and all went for it leaving Tomlin to smash the ball in the net. 3-1! We hung on for three minutes and then five minutes extra time.
"Nine men! We've only got nine men!" Sung by our entire crowd. Marvellous.
However no back four for the game away to Burnley. Mrs Jer, one of the grandsons, and I are going!
