Don’t worry, it was a complimentary ticket, I haven’t been lining their coffers.
Gibbs looked completely lost, utterly ineffective. Their fans are beyond poor. The lack of atmosphere was genuinely shocking to me, perhaps PR sets an higher bar nowadays than I give it credit for but I can’t remember the last time I saw an atmosphere as bad as that anywhere. Other than the applause for Pukki there was nothing, they seemed so passive, not even passionately negative, just nothing. A general apathy towards it all.
They tried to play football between both boxes but they looked so toothless in the final 3rd, against mediocre opposition today. Possession without purpose, laboured phases of play. I hope they don’t get their sh1t together over the summer because on that evidence they’re so vanilla. We’ll slap them next season. |  |

Really telling isn't it. The apathy and resignation I see up there is reminiscent of what we were like after fifteen plus years of stagnation. They have literally had one season of mediocrity where they have not either been in the Prem or going up from the Championship and they've thrown the towel in. Will be interesting to see what their gates are like if the same situation exists in five years. |  |

I think the pathetic attempts at staying in the PL when they've got there has annoyed them just as much as any poor showings in the Championship. |  |

I wonder if an announcement on Wagner is far off. Don't think they've scored at home since February, hard to argue he has been an improvement on Smith.
Swansea have finished well under Martin, unbeaten in nine I think. Hopefully they aren't able to convince him to come home. Most of them seem to think Webber is the bigger problem, so long may he keep his job.
The balance of the universe is being restored. |  |

I think he's been an improvement on Smith, and certainly (overall) an improvement on Farker. I hope he keeps up the good work.
I'm glad now that they had a good start to the season, because if they'd started like they finished we'd have missed them on the way up, and they are well due a couple of good thrashings next season. |  |

Farcical situation up there. Webber is the problem but only his wife can sack him. | | | |

Funnily enough there was a post on wotb just now saying much the same about Gibbs. Said he was completely ineffective and they’ve no idea if he’s a number 8 or a 10.
Strong rumours they’re getting Ashley Barnes from Burnley. Past his best but a good championship player |  |

The game completely passed him by. Doesn’t seem to have any bite to him, or real conviction in himself. Can’t say I’ve seen much of him tbh but I took a keen eye today, very underwhelming.
And no Sitters I was in a box (although sat outside it for the game).
Food was decent to be fair. No mashed potato though. | |

replacing 33-year-old Puke with 33-year-old Barnes, albeit he scored today, unlike Puke who hasn't scored since Sept last year.
Next we need to hear about money problems and that they are having to sell whatever they have left to cover debts and fund their free transfer signings, please. |  | | |

....was one where they started ripping into us for having an open top bus parade to celebrate finishing second.
"That's so tinpot" " What a bunch of losers" "Probably get another star as well" etc, etc.
After a few posts someone pointed out that we weren't having an open top bus parade.
Then a few posts later someone pointed out that they actually did have one for finishing second.
.....they shut up after that.

They're certainly having to sell before they buy this summer. They spent next seasons parachute payments last summer with the signings of Nunez and Sara presumably.
I'm not sure who they've got to sell in all honesty. Aaron's was worth a few quid years ago, not sure what he's worth now, being in the last year of his contract. Some fans on twitter suggested 10m, I can't see that myself seeming as he's failed to step up when he's been in the Prem. Sara maybe worth something, they paid 13m, perhaps they get that fee back? Omobamidele was linked to Milan last week for 20m, not a chance they get that for him on what I've seen though. |  |

After his stint with Schalke i was excited to see what he could achieve with this group of Norwich players. I think he's done a really good job so far but there's certainly room for an 18 game winless run next season. | | | |

I think the Olympic diving team are looking at Aarons for the 10m springboard.
As for Omobamidele - £20m 
That's half of one of the worst defensive units I've ever seen available for a mere £30m - someone's on a big wind up I think. | |

Norwich are essentially us 4 or 5 years ago, on a gradual downward slide which is gathering pace, total apathy among the supporter base, owners who are finding the game too rich for them and staring at an eventual relegation into the third tier while their rivals are on an upward curve.
It's the natural order being restored, but we need to sacrifice something to ensure they never get their own GC, I suggest we all splash a bit of every glass of booze on the floor whilst imploring the Gods to prevent them finding new owners. |  |

So not the sharpest then.
I had a little look at their forum. They’re not entirely happy and seem to want everybody out, their manager in particular. There was I thinking he’d only just trudged through the door. | | | |

They always want everybody as soon as something goes wrong . They’re the most fickle UNLOYAL
“ fans” in the game. |  |

To be fair, two-thirds empty grounds are normal now as soon as you go a couple of goals down. I know Brighton got thumped today, but I'd have thought the season they've had and the football they've played would mean their fans would cut them some slack and stay and be supportive. But watching the highlights, they'd left in their droves well before the end. |  | | |
