Photo of the Day: The Ink Could not Save Them
By Laurie | May 5th, 2008Alas, all the tattoo ink in the world could not save Leicester City from relegation. They needed a win against Stoke City, but they couldn't scrape up the needed goal to break the tie. Final result: 0-0. The result gives Stoke City the joy of ...
Fabian Wilnis, A Tribute
By Craig | May 4th, 2008"Fabian Wilnis is a Blue, is a Blue, is a Blue" With the news coming out of Portman Road today that Fabian Wilnis will not be offered a new contract next season, I thought it fitting to pay tribute to one of the club's finest ever servants. Arr ...

By Craig | May 4th, 2008Good, But Not Good Enought Town kept their part of the bargain for a play-off place after earning a deserved three points over promotion hopefuls Hull City this afternoon thanks to an Alan Lee header, but as expected; results went against us, mea ...
Final Day Predictions
By Craig | May 4th, 2008A Playoff place for Town? I Doubt It 46 hard fought games all boil down to today, with ours proving to be one of the most important going into the final day. However, I expect the pre-kick off excitement to be fully out of steam by full time with T ...
Prediction: Playoff heartbreak for Wolves
By Matt | May 3rd, 2008Will Wolves season be over on Sunday at 4pm, or will we be preparing ourselves for the playoff rollercoaster ride? Pride or pain? Hope renewed or stoic failure? Your guess is a good as mine. In fact the Championship has been so unpredictable this sea ...
Even if Ipswich Don't Make the Playoffs, There's Much to Look Forward to Next Season
By Craig | May 3rd, 2008Town Are Winners No Matter the Outcome There aren't many Town fans who would have believed that Jim Magilton's team would be fighting for a Playoff place on the last day of the season given the dismal 2006-07 campaign. Although destiny is out of I ...

By Musab | April 22nd, 2008This Sunday, the whole of Turkey will be fixed on one match. The great Istanbul derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce. What makes this seasons derby so important is that both teams are tied at the same amount of points with Fenerbahce holding a +1 ...
Galatasaray 1-0 Trabzonspor, The Tide is finally turning in our favor as the Cimbom win the derby
By Musab | April 13th, 2008The third derby for Galatasaray was played out in a packed Ali Sami Yen stadium filled with fanatical Galatasarayli fans. Trabzonpor has always been a "secondary" derby for us, seconday because we almost always beat them whether the match is in Istan ...

Michael Gray's Left Foot Still Works
By Daryl | February 26th, 2008Michael Gray is old and Michael Gray is slow. He's also representative of the worrying trend in Mick McCarthy's transfer policy that sees the boss buying all his old Sunderland players. If Wolves want to progress beyond being perennially disappointing
Sahar Off Again
By Jack | February 21st, 2008Chelsea have sent Israel international Ben Sahar to Sheffield Wednesday on an initial one-month loan. The 18-year-old endured a disappointing spell with QPR earlier in the season and hasn't seen action for the Blues yet in 2007-08 (has he?). This kid
Molegate Update: Shaun Derry innocent. No new suspects.
By Matthew | January 23rd, 2008Molegate - the biggest scandal to hit Leeds United since ... come to think of it, Molegate pales in comparison to about 17 recent Leeds United-related scandals, despite being the only one with -gate attached to it. This is probably because Peter Ridsdale'
A win, a draw and a cup exit
By Edward | January 21st, 2008Sorry for not updating this page in a while. Many things have happened and I will summarise them as follows. Three players have left the club...Strihavka, Brown and Brellier are gone. Brown was sold to Preston, the other two had their contracts termi
Another draw, and another poor cup result
By Edward | January 8th, 2008Norwich, Norwich, Norwich. Why can we never drive a stake into the heart of lower league teams, especially when they come to Carrow Road on a cup visit? It just seems a superstition must lurk in the changing rooms, or on the training ground. Thats more
Two draws against Wolves and Palace
By Edward | January 4th, 2008Well, a few months ago in the darkest, gloomiest days of Norwich football, with depressing shadows lent kindly by a certain Mr Grant, we would have shrieked and sobbed our optimism away from fixtures such as these. Yes, to a degree, draws aren't much goo
Norwich 1-1 Charlton
By Edward | December 29th, 2007Norwich started the game very brightly, a hatful of missed chances...then, as is typical with that type of opening, the other team scores a goal from very little pressure. Norwich 0-1 Charlton thanks to their multi-million pound signing Zheng Zhi. Hav
Scunthorpe 0-1 Norwich
By Edward | December 24th, 2007More points, three at that...and away! And the table shows we are now up to 18th! The game wasn't pretty, like our previous fixture admitted Roeder, but then he rightly said he didn't expect it to be. These games aren't and never will be BUT they have
Colchester 1-1 Norwich
By Edward | December 19th, 2007Jamie Cureton could barely disguise his delight - and frustration- regarding Norwich City's late equaliser against Colchester last Saturday. Colchester's McLeod scored in the 79th minute to make it look like a 1-0 defeat and I thought we were facing a re
Taylor leaves...
By Edward | December 14th, 2007The great loan addition, Martin Taylor, with two goals to his name (and surely key to recent revivals) has left Norwich after his loan period was not extended and has returned to Birmingham City...even though new boss Alex McLeish has made it clear he 'do
British government poised to condemn young African footballer to death
By Matthew | December 12th, 2007This has nothing to do with Leeds United, but I’m furious, so here goes. The British government has ordered the deportation of Alhassan Bangura, a young footballer from Sierra Leone who fled his home at the age of 15 amidst death threats and violence. H
Norwich 1-0 Sheffield United
By Edward | December 9th, 2007Norwich score early again! Ched Evans scores early again! But, Norwich are now out of the bottom three! Ched Evans scored from a superb Darren Huckerby cross on ten minutes. Huckerby more than making up for the hard time the crowd gave him on Tuesda
Norwich 2-1 Plymouth
By Edward | December 7th, 2007The survival fight continues, three wins in four now. More cause for belief? I think so. I went to the game on Tuesday night and it was refreshing to see Norwich take the lead in the opening minutes through a slicing pass from Jamie Cureton to new lo
Iiiiiiiiiitttttttt's Coventry!
By Dan Clough | December 3rd, 2007The FA Cup third round will see us host Coventry City. The Championship side who spent so long in the top flight before falling from grace may well fancy their chances in this tie. I was personally hoping for an even lower side as Coventry could be
Stoke 2-1 Norwich
By Edward | December 2nd, 2007The two-win run ends in a defeat at Stoke, four points adrift again but... I am still optimistic. We are fighting. And that will need to be a consistent trait. I feel disappointed, but the team does look in far better shape now. I can see where goal
