OH MINE! Was it true mate?

Norwich stars in bus strop

By VIKKI ORVICE

TWO Norwich players are alleged to have come to blows after a defeat that sparked calls for boss Nigel Worthington to be sacked.

The Canaries were beaten 3-1 by Plymouth following a woeful performance on Saturday.

And as tempers flared on the coach from Home Park to the local airport, midfielders Youssef Safri and Dickson Etuhu had to be pulled apart.

The result, City?s third away defeat of the season, sent them spiralling to 14th place. And boss Worthington is under mounting pressure to quit ? or face the boot.

A Canaries insider said: ?There has never been any love lost between Safri and Etuhu. They are always having a go at each other in training.

?But their feud boiled over on the coach. They were having a real go at each other.?

Moroccan Safri, 27, joined from Coventry in 2004. He spent the end of last season out with a gall bladder injury.

Algerian Etuhu, 24, began his career at Manchester City, moving to Carrow Road in 2005.





Worthington, who has been in the hotseat for six years, has been given two games to save his job at the club.

He was handed an ultimatum on Monday from majority shareholders Delia Smith and husband Michael Wynn Jones.

They said: ?We are deeply disappointed by the lack of passion and commitment on Saturday.?

A Supporters Association spokesman insisted: ?I think Nigel should have gone a long time ago.

?It?s becoming a bit of a joke. Not so long ago we were in the Premiership and signing Dean Ashton.

Now we are struggling in the Championship and signing 37-year-old cast-offs, with all due respect to Dion Dublin.?
