Burnley – a reminder of Norwich City Premier League woes

Burnley remind me of Norwich City a few seasons ago. It seems at least one or two clubs have recently taken turns to be the “yo-yo” club. Too small to succeed? The term “too big to fail” is common in business. The idea that there are certain institutions that simply can’t be allowed to fail […]

The art of penalty taking – Norwich City style

Honestly, Norwich City wait ages for a penalty and three come along almost at once! Weird If I had a quid for every time I planned an article and it became unwittingly prescient I would have two quid but it’s weird that it happened twice! In the previous instance it was Vlad’s goalkeeping and this […]

Norwich City: Weirdest stadium food items

One phrase that seems to have popped up regularly is “scran”. Normally, this would refer to the biggest or most appetising stadium food. For me, though, I am intrigued by the weirdest forms of Norwich City stadium food items. Tomorrow is *probably* our last Carrow Road visit of 2025-26, so there’s still time to scoff […]

Norwich City – Player of the season candidate: Kenny McLean

Having posted a few player of the season candidates you are probably asking “But what about Kenny McLean?” Last but definitely not least Where do you start with Kenny McLean? There was that iconic moment where he nicked a Town Crier’s hat and declared to the promotion party, “I’m the Mayor, what laws do you […]

Norwich City – Player candidate of the season: Jovon Makama

Some might say “Jovon Makama as player of the season? But he’s been injured!” While that is true, his contribution has been enormous and at the very least needs to be acknowledged. Rough diamond Makama is not the first player to have been unearthed by Norwich City. Emi Buendia was a player deemed not fit […]

Norwich City – Player of the season candidate: Anis Ben Slimane

When talking about a player of the season, is there a more symbolic candidate than Anis Ben Slimane? Wayward In some respects Anis Ben Slimane should be a candidate for player of the season in the sense that his playing performance has typified what this truly bizarre year this has been.

Norwich City – Player of the season candidates: Vladan Kovacevic

I swear I was going to write this before his heroics against Derby County! However, here is my case for Vladan Kovacevic as player of the season. Big shoes The circumstances under which Kovacevic came to the club had me worried. Angus Gunn had been a solid performer for Norwich City, and this was a […]

Who doesn’t love a Norwich City half-time show? Or, actually, who does?

With the (terrible – Ed) news that Chris Martin and Coldplay will be doing a special curated halftime show for this year’s USA-based World Cup Final, it got me thinking if Norwich City should get on board with something that may take off. Maybe starting tonight against Derby? 😉 Current halftime entertainment I will be […]

Fancy popping into the club shop later? As a Norwich City or indeed any type of fan, there are typical items you want- a Norwich City with a soon-to-be-outdated name on the back, a scarf to celebrate an iconic event or a calendar.

Norwich City will probably never be a big club… and that’s okay

Tottenham Hotspur’s plight is a reminder that even ‘big clubs’ can go down. Would I classify Norwich City as a big club? No… and here’s why I’m not bothered. Peak Norwich City’s peak was around the early Nineties. Strangely enough, this was also around the time that the Premier League was first being formed. My […]
