that lot up the road are annoyingly good aren't they on 21:26 - Apr 6 by m14_blue | Fair enough. I guess we’ll see next season. I would be absolutely amazed if they are top half and if more than 3 or 4 of this team adapt well to life in the prem but I am frequently wrong. |
I'm not necessarily saying that it'll all happen next season, but I think they are in it for the long haul. One day it'll all end and if I were a Norwich fan I would be disappointed if they didn't have anything to show for it. This is their best chance in the last two or three decades to actually win some silverware. | |

As it stands I can't see any club out of the top six winning anything any more. Yes, it is great to get promoted and maybe the first season is all novel and new, but that soon settles don to a hard slog just to stay out of the bottom three. For all the money that is paid ot most of it just goes out of the door again in exorbitant wages, agents fees and transfers. And all too often the players have little or no commitment as they know they can easily go elsewhere for similar money. Folk take about parachte payments, but all too often all they do is pay the ridiculous wages of the same players who got you relegated and you can't move on. We have a chance of promotion and even the title next season. A day at Wembley in the play off final - but the budgies do not have that chance in the PL. Their title is 17th place or above. Watching players who earn more in a few days than most of them will all year. It grates to see what they have achieved this season, but it does mean there's hope for us all. And as they will tell you fighting for promotion is far more fun than fighting against relegation. In that light I think I know who will be having the greater fun next season. | | | |

They are much better than us now, but these things change - we aren’t them or nor do we want to be, so best to concentrate on our club’s future, I’m happy supporting my home town club and so very proud of it up or down. | | | |

I don't deny much of that. But there are still opportunities for clubs of our size to win silverware. Leicester's title win aside (which was a real anomaly), plenty of others in recent years have shown that Europe, cup finals and trophies are possible. Fulham, Middlesbrough, Stoke, Hull, Southampton, Wigan, Portsmouth, Bolton and Swansea for example. Even this season, Brighton and Watford. I don't think it's too far-fetched to imagine a well-run club like Norwich to do the same in the next few years. Indeed, if we got things right here it isn't inconceivable. | |

yes indeed, we're soon to shed that label as the club with the longest spell in the championship division, can re-boot and come back winning like Southampton and the budgies did from league one. Hopefully it won't be another 17 seasons before we're in a division above Norwich, but in meantime, there's absolutely no point watching what they get up to, (although we can perhaps dream of gloating if Man Utd put 9+ goals past them.) | | | |

Here here! I'm hoping that after our 30th win of the season next year I'll take a quick look at MoTD for the first time and see that they have been relegated from the PL after a terrible season, be on their 4th manager and have players fighting amongst themselves on the pitch. I'm also hoping to win £100m on the lottery.... | |

that lot up the road are annoyingly good aren't they on 02:04 - Apr 7 with 2478 views | Minneapolis_ITFC | Pains to say it but concur they've had a very good year and should win the league. Get a good crowd at Carrow Road more often than not and usually sell out. Got an owner / chairperson also with a real interest in the team and club affairs who will go that extra mile to aid the team and build relations. And then look at our own representative.. They'll always be something of an insignificant club team with an honors list you could write on the back of a mailing stamp, but once again credit where's its' due. Got a feeling we'll be meeting up again to renew hostilities in the same league before any great time ahead. | | | |

that lot up the road are annoyingly good aren't they on 13:26 - Apr 6 by BackToRussia | Our two situations are completely incomparable. Just because the money has run out this year, they still got it for 3 years and that shows in their squad over the past few seasons including this - plus have been in the PL multiple times recently. |
Nonsense. They were only in the Premier league for one year so they had two years parachute payments which ended in June 2018. They funded the subsequent hole in their finances this year by setting one player for £25m. I've no idea how good they are but the table doesn't lie. I really don't buy into the idea that the Championship became a bad league overnight. It seems about the same to me with the exception of us obviously | | | |

that lot up the road are annoyingly good aren't they on 12:58 - Apr 6 by uefacup81 | Could have been very different had they not got the draw at PR - received wisdom is that a defeat would have been curtains for Farke. Can’t deny they’re looking very good at the moment, but QPR are equally as poor. |
I have the misfortune to work with several of their fans and after the draw with us, almost everyone of them wanted Farke out. Even before this season started a couple of them didn’t renew their season tickets. Watching them against us they wasn’t a lot between us that game, it’s baffling how they’ve gone on such a run. Without doubt this has to be the lowest ebb being a town fan for a very long time, just hope we can win L1 next season and they get pummelled every game with icing on the cake seeing Man City beating them 10-0. | | | |

early season check in on this post. | |
