Lambert did yes mid-90s ish. Got a Champions League medal too. As far as I'm aware there's no link to Alex Neil

 

Nor would I expect there to be. Tuchel leaves, oh. let's appoint A, Neill as his replacement. Not in any sane world.

 

Nelson in new role at Barnet.

No, not Oliveira, before I get jumped on

Just downloaded the BT Sport 360º VR app for the CL Final, more out of curio than anything else. Been playing around with the demo but as I missed out on the free smart phone box it may well be a difficult watch, we shall see.

 

A few months ago Wenger was getting blasted on here and having a foot in N7 and knowing genuine Gooners I assured you that he would win the FA cup and carry on as manager.

Just saying

 

Just a shame you're not as positive about our own club!

 

Bingo was his name-o!

 

Alright FML thanks for that.

 

Well, that was definitely Ronaldo's show last night and love him or loathe him, the way he took his 2nd goal was brilliant.
I loved @Madders10 tweet - You have big game players and then you have @Cristiano.

 

A very interesting Tweet - how few of those do NOT now have foreign owners???

 

So, a bit of the 'green eyed monster- http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwic...k-says-ipswich-town-chief-ian-milne-1-5047212
I was REALLY impressed by this comment - "Milne believes there should only be one leader taking decisions on the football operations and still thinks he has the right man in Mick McCarthy to bring success back to Portman Road."

 

I know! What a fooking t w a t that bloke is!

He should concentrate on sorting out the huge bloody mess he has got us into before commenting on other clubs!

 

The southern most of the founding members appears to be AV. No southern Jessies to be seen.

 

Former Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote died during a training session, only 30 years old. Really sad and still so young.

 

Heart attack apparently, I thought all modern players were monitored!

RIP

 

Just horrible. Really shocked.

 

Some snippets from today's BBC Gossip column -

Today’s offering from Stewart Lewis on MFW - http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter...-season-and-they’ll-have-to-earn-their-money/
He’s always been clear that he saw a need for significant change in the City squad, and wasn’t fazed by the idea of the change being large-scale. I’ve no doubt that our team next season will be more dynamic, more resilient, more like a Paul Lambert team. I suspect our acquisitions between now and August will be relatively low-cost, and clearly better value than we’ve had in the last few years. It will be a refreshing change.
We’ll see a group of players who are more motivated and less highly paid than those we watched last season. The financial side is necessary – for reasons I’ll come to in a moment – while we can all see why an injection of hunger is needed.

I’m certain EVERY one of us will look forward to that!!!

 

Today’s offering from a 'guest blogger on MFW - http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter...-the-patience-and-fervour-of-the-yellow-army/
"But as we approach the coming season we supporters need to come together; old, middle-aged and the younger generation can all do their bit to get behind our new shiny team of young and hungry hopefuls. We have to celebrate the good times with the players and with each other but – more importantly – not turn on them (and each other) when things don’t pan out. Remember the moaning last season when one of the Murphy twins would lose the ball? Well, we just cannot do that. And we cannot have an atmosphere where the players are castigated for trying something new or difficult.
The atmosphere in the ground last season was both lacking and, when there actually was some it, was often quite negative."
I certainly feel that the atmosphere at CR has room for drastic improvement and I'm confident that will soon be evident once the players adapt to DF's tactics, but us fans HAVE to be patient and not expect massive improvements from the very first game (it would be fantastic if it happens though!!)
