Durham's thoughts on us..

Nice to see the good?looking brother of Norwich City turn up for the final game of the season. His ugly sibling has been dulling the senses of football fans for the past five months. Go and check Chris Hughton?s substitutions and tactics since they hit seventh spot in December (above Arsenal) ? all geared towards drawing games, packing the midfield and trying to keep clean sheets.
Their most memorable result of the season was a home defeat by non-League opposition in the FA Cup, the only Premier League side ever to suffer such a shock. And their main striker only started performing after a recent kick up his not inconsiderable backside in this column. The table looks decent after 38 games, but most Norwich fans will know the truth.
Ben Foster?s fumblings on the penultimate weekend ensured Norwich City?s safety for another season. Only then did Hughton decide to let his players play, so they went to Manchester City and played with real panache, scored some fantastic goals, and were thoroughly entertaining. And significantly, they won. Makes you wonder why Hughton was so boring and cautious with them since Christmas.

Norwich and the rest of the Premier League clubs receive millions from TV companies who rely on audience figures to attract sponsors, and need a spectacle to attract subscribers. Some clubs feel they deserve the money just for being in the Premier League. For me, they have a duty to entertain, that?s the return the TV companies want for their investment.
Norwich aren?t the only ones who?ve been dreadful to watch but they need to take that fantastic football from the final day into next season. They have a duty to their fans to stay in the Premier League but they also have a duty to entertain and earn their TV money. Norwich have proved they can play, so let?s see more of that please.
