Perhaps best not look at the Guardian fans verdict Loz!........
Norwich
Take your pick from woeful, gutless, pathetic, joyless and/or abject. Despite many members of Delia Smith’s fan club arguing otherwise, there’s no evidence whatsoever that being a self-funded club and being in the Premier League are even close to being compatible. It’s a noble ideal, but football is never going to wait for Norwich City. Neither Daniel Farke nor Dean Smith are responsible for this mess – that rests firmly with the owners and the board. 1/10
Stars/flops It’s probably easier to say who hasn’t flopped, and that boils down to just Grant Hanley and Teemu Pukki. Nine new faces arrived last summer and none made us any better, and that includes Billy Gilmour. While he (and Chelsea) will benefit from his season in Norfolk, he wasn’t what was needed in a relegation-battling team feeding off scraps.
Biggest surprise A lot of what’s happened behind the scenes, with a series of high-profile blunders – like having to ditch a far east betting company as the main shirt sponsor when it became clear their advertising was full-throttle Carry on Thailand – and some equally high-profile departures on the admin side have left us looking unprofessional and rudderless.
Best/worst away fans Newcastle’s are the best for their noise and passion, and the worst for the way they’ve allowed themselves to be seduced by Amanda Staveley and co, and that pile of Saudi riyals. Eugh.
Moment that made me smile Leeds’ fans telling our prime minister what they thought of him on live TV. And our fans’ chant at Selhurst – “Let’s pretend we scored a goal” – followed by a raucous faux-celebration. Gallows humour at its finest.
