I dunno, crying at Wembley (after having such hope) I think is slightly sweeter. |
But then they'd stick another Wembley appearance on their honours list. I don't care about being slightly sweeter. I'll stick with them missing out completely. Just to make sure. |  |

Last year of parachutes innit. Let them have to worry about that for a few years (or longer). |  |

I would love them to win the play off final...for the first 95 minutes, before their opponents equalise and then get the most unjust penalty in history in the 101st minute to win 2-1. |  |

Only if it was a guaranteed they go straight back down on the worst ever points tally, we hump them 10-0 home and away, and they drop down to non league football after that, never to be seen again!! .. so no. |
What about if they won the play-off final but their fans jumped over turnstiles and staged a pitch invasion that ruined the Wembley turf so that all registered Norwich supporters were banned from attending league football matches for ten years...and then once promoted to the Premier League financial irregularities* were discovered that meant a sixty point deduction from their 2023/24 season total so that they actually started the 2024/25 season in the third tier ?
*The financial irregularities being that Delia had been siphoning off funds from the club for years to artificially inflate her book sales, with a knock on effect that the non-fiction bestseller lists had to be republished excluding her work. |  |

no. we've had 20 something years doing b*gger all in the championship and below, now it's their turn. spread the joy.
(and why is a harmless word like b*gger unacceptable) |
the way it's gone for them in the last 14 years they will end up getting promoted this season.
They have some sellable assets which should help keep them competitive if they can bring in a few.
Rowe, Sara, Sargent should all fetch 20+ million. |  | | |

and for the biggest thing then for them to look forward to being the repainting of their turnstyles. |  |

But you do want Nodge to go up, pocket £105m and another 3 years of parachute money, and have another 2 'Premier League Participants' on their honours board.
No, Fk 'em. I'll take Wet Sham. |
Not so bothered about the money side of things. If Norwich vanished, we'd have to start thinking about Colchester, Cambridge or Peterborough. Certainly the press would start calling any matches against them "derbies".
Perhaps I'm old fashioned, but I'd rather we beat them on the pitch than circumstances (in which we play little or no part) consigning them to oblivion. It's the difference between triumphing over someone and merely laughing at their misfortune.
I know they laughed at ours, but we should be better than that.
If we beat them on Saturday and that denies them the play-offs, fair enough in my book. Like when they won the play-off semi in 2015, it's a direct result of our prowess. Not other teams doing it for us. |  |

Or, just fail completely, missing out on the playoffs entirely, meaning their parachute money runs dry, they have to sell any assets off, leaving them sliding irreversibly towards the anonymity of League One to renew rivalries with Peterborough in the third tier? Surely a more likely scenario? | |

Sadly, I’m not better than that. Petty minded and unpleasant. That’s me 😃. I’ve no problem with them disappearing and don’t care who brings it about. I never enjoyed the Derby games anyway.
So, if they go down the pan, perhaps our owners will buy the Carrow Road hovel. Burn it down for old times sake and build a 60 story tower block on the site, paint it blue and white and call it Portman Towers. The training ground? Build a recycling plant on it or use it for landfill if that costs too much.
Sorted! |  | | |

surely you'd want them to have the full roy keane experience first? those outer circles of hell need to be approached in the right order. | |

Fair point.
Speaking of Famous Roy, I see he's been sharing the kind of eye for a player and general insight that got him out go management and into the punditry gig in the first place.
