Here's a quiz.Which manager took over Norwich City who were bottom in November on 8 points (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 16:36:11
- Is it someone who (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 16:43:51
  - You'll need to be more specific than that.. (n/m) (NCFC) - tudders, Jan 5, 16:46:55
    - ha ha (n/m) (NCFC) - shoddy, Jan 5, 16:51:03
  - Excellent. Well done me. (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 16:46:52
    - Probably would have done if we didn't go down (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 16:47:52
      - ... (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 16:49:09
        
        When transfer window Jan 2010 passes (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 16:51:49
        
        Fair enough. I refused to get excited in 03/4 til we signed Hux (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 16:53:29
        
        I have a deal going, that if a certain ex player from 2007 isn't mentioned more than 5 (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 16:54:51
        
        Oops, sorry. Got whooshed there. Fair enough: I hate Thorne as well. (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 17:01:44
        
        Yet if you go down your route and list his career (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 17:05:32
        
        Hating a player for being injured is ridiculous (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 17:07:34
        
        That, and his attitude. Remember Preston (a) under Grant? (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 17:10:04
        
        I hated Etuhu almost the entire way through his time with us (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 17:12:04
        
        Agree (n/m) (NCFC) - 1morepost4jame_sward, Jan 5, 18:09:24
        
        Perception I guess. I didn't see that at all. Of all my worthy negativity, Etuhu was a (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 17:15:22
        
        Yep. He showed what he could do when we had that great start to 06/7 (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 17:14:05
        
        Peter Thorne Peter Thorne Peter Thorne, goooooooooooooooooooooooal (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 16:56:56
        
        that's more Peter Thorne's than he managed goals for us (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 5, 16:59:07
        
        I remember a goal he scored (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 16:59:47
        
        I'll even wipe the slate clean for 5 in 5 days (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 16:58:37
        
        probably (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 16:59:20
        
        Ah well. Looks like that's a 'no' then. (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 16:55:45
        
        True (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 16:57:38
        
        which season was it that Thorne was top scorer for us? (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 5, 17:00:01
        
        What hate? I love him. So do almost all other City fans (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 16:59:47
        
        he scored v Barnsley (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 16:58:38
        
        looking at that, if Soton hadn't had that 10 points deduction (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 5, 16:51:38
        
        If by some chance we end up in the play-offs though, I wouldn't fancy playing them at all (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 16:54:59
        
        it's alright, we're going up as champions (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 5, 16:57:55
        
        We're going up as runners-up. Bookmark this post. (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 17:00:15
        
        Don't bookmark it, just say it on repeat like rainman (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 17:03:28
        
        Champions, and i've said it all along (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 5, 17:01:09
        
        Ralf, serious question. If we go up, what do you reckon the future holds after that? (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 17:03:42
        
        coo-ee a serious question, um, dunno, i'm a bit more worried about our finances (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 5, 17:14:04
        
        I want us to build gradually too (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 17:17:29
        
        play offs (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 17:06:34
        
        Ipswich go up this year (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 16:56:28
        
        Looks like Gunny's summer hard work is bearing fruit now (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 16:52:17
        
        True. But it's not exactly difficult for a club our size at this level to sign (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 5, 16:57:10
        
        Tudor Jones, Wiggins, Whaley, Hughes, Maric, Holt and Askou? (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 16:56:07
        
        yes, and persuading Wes to stay (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 16:57:26
        
        you think we'll make a profit on Whaley then? (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 5, 16:54:06
        
        I have no idea (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 16:56:03
      - that's the problem with these loan players (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 16:49:03
  - ... (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 16:45:44
  - no (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 16:44:09
- go on tell us (n/m) (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Jan 5, 16:43:38
