Did anyone read the losers section from f365 winners and losers bit?

They were very sneary about Norwich weren't they? It'll be nice to prove them wrong over the season.

Norwich
The hackles of Norwich fans have been raised this week by many in the media (including us) writing off Norwich as basically the same squad that went down two seasons ago and thus lacking in true quality. While taking the point that Alex Neil is a more inspirational manager than Chris Hughton, Norwich have basically the same squad that went down two seasons ago and thus lack true quality. They will go down.

Starting with a striker that scored only 12 goals in the Championship last season does not hint at an unlikely survival bid. And nor does replacing him with one whose only double-figure Premier League campaign came six seasons ago.

To have that perfectly legitimate Jerome goal disallowed was unlucky but Neil - who seems a thoroughly pleasant chap - was correct in saying that the referee did not make them miss chance after chance in the opening spell, when even Palace manager Alan Pardew admitted he got his tactics wrong. If you have 62% possession and 17 shots at home, you have to score more than once. And when your defence still 'boasts' Steven Whittaker and Russell Martin, you probably need to score more than once to win most games.
