Quite right we won’t - that moment encapsulated the gulf in class between us and them as fans, as people, as the pride of Anglia. Even if the class between the two teams wasn’t as evident as it could have been today.
Cantering past them, whilst making some poor choices and plenty of unforced errors was showing just how much better we can and should be once we get going. All they had was a deflected goal and a determination to drag the game into the darkest and artless places akin to their withered little hearts.
Liam Manning does not deserve a squad so poor, or fans so delusional and entitled. Believing they should always be in promotion contention as they ossify, and spend money on competition winners of the wrong sort; is the sort of hubris and karma they deserve. That bloke at the back and the one they brought on, on the right were cart horses not fit to share the grass with those wearing the Suffolk Punch.
Whilst Kipre claimed the opener and what must now be his shirt to lose, seeing him pray before kickoff and again after scoring made me think today was as much destiny as it was inevitable. When philogene scored me and the bloke next to me stopped our celebrations and turned to exchange a look of “how the fudge did he do that?” - give him the ballon d’or, a new contract, the freedom of the town, whatever his mad bastard agent desires.
Whilst Kipre claimed motm it was Matusiwa for me. So many clever interventions, redirecting the ball with one touch to send us on our way, he and Cajuste when they work just run things don’t they?
You could go through every player and talk about those who grafted, those who drifted etc but I felt for Azon. What does he have to do to get a goal? If I’m being picky, the subs deserved to have ten mins more today in my book. The circus around their star player being a bench option for us was always going to be funny, especially at full time, and Clarke moving from Currie to Reuser territory is delightful, but for all of Hirsts work rate his lack of hold up play might see him need to do more to keep the starting spot from the hungry Spaniard.
It’s nice to think the poster printers of Norwich will have fallen on hard times this week, but I’m more pleased we overcame a poor team who defended deep and narrow and looked to spoil a game they couldn’t win. Relegation beckons on current eye tests and we won’t need to worry about that for a year or so.
How nice it is to have a sore throat, a belly full of service station food and a sense of contentment after a visit to the only cathedral that matters in East Anglia.
Uppa Town. |  |

Genuinely have no pity for any of them. This “16 years” crap is predicated on ignoring our worst ever era and that both clubs were in league one and the Prem without the other.
I wish them nothing but misery, ruin and the clap.
If they drop down through the leagues and we never play them again I’d be happy with that. They don’t deserve a club, respect or a sense of parity with us. |
Every single word of this.
The only reason they exist is so that we can have a rivalry - which, happily, we are now once again dominant over. No past, present or future for the Norfolk.
Absolutely pointless club, county and fans.
I hope they rot forever. |  | | |

Oh I like Norfolk a lot. It’s a lovely county (if you ignore Yarmouth).
However, there is no reason for that nothing club with its horrible kit to exist. Rivalry? - I can live without that. I would like us to buy out Norwich City one day and convert the football ground into a new state of the art recycling centre for East Anglia or a plain old scrapyard. Even a sewage plant. Something useful.
Their training ground - there’s always need for houses so build baby build! |  | | |

To be honest in those 16 years it was probably only 2010/11 where they were actually clearly superior - even the more recent wins with them having premier money and us scraping through the bargain barrel we never felt really out of it - even in the play off games a few minor bits of luck and the games could have gone either way.
Way too many draws to consider it as dominance - especially as 2 of those16 years we were in a higher division |  | | |
