No disrespect, Greeny

but only the more paranoid and delusional posters are talking of a game being chucked and it being some kind of disgrace.

Then there is another group, which actually contains most supporters, which is upset and frustrated that an excellent chance of progress was missed. Why was that chance missed? Because a very decent Norwich side, containing experienced players in every position, put in a really poor display, which happens from time to time.

The divisiveness as you put it comes when a natural football phenomena is put down to something more sinister. And yet this was a Sunderland away... a Portmouth at home... a Leyton Orient away... one of those days where a Lambert side fell well short of the expected standard and while many will thrash around looking for some kind of answer and neurotically looking for dark conspiracy theories, we really must get a grip here. We lost a game of football, we played poorly, we were off our game, we went out... the end!!
