Can I have your attention everyone. I have an announcement to make...

To all the new friends I have made on this board, I'm afraid that I have been lying to you all. But not just to you, but to my family, my friends, my work colleagues, to TWTD and above all to myself. I feel I can no longer keep this a secret anymore, and the time has come to admit...

...I am a Norwich City fan.

I know my parents and my friends will be upset and disappointed, but it's who I am, and I feel I can no longer hide it any more.

Although I knew at a very young age, I've always knew deep down I was a City fan. Even during playground kickabouts, when my friends were arguing about who was going to be Paul Mariner, secretly, I was in torment as all I longed for was to stand up and shout 'Ill be Kevin Drinkell!" I kept it inside me for a very long time. Most of the time, I wished it didn?t have to be that way, that it didn?t have to be a big secret, but I was petrified of anybody knowing or finding out. But to be honest, it wasn?t as bad as it could have been -- mostly, I just trawled the internet for Norwich City rumours and gossip, and tried not to think about it much. And for a long time, that worked.

But as the end of high school neared, and later as I started my career at KFC, it became harder and harder to distract myself from the issue. I needed friends to talk to, to share the emotions and thoughts that were overflowing in my head. And that was when I discovered the Wrath of the Barclay and above all, you guys. You have helped me discover who I really am, and now I feel relieved that I can blub with you all about Huckerby doing oh so well in the MLS and why oh why did we not keep him! and laugh together whilst the tractor boys spunk Evan's pennies on chumps like Lisbie, and even if you'd let me, join Yellalee's prediction league.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and finally I can move on and embrace my passion for all things Yellow. I hope my parents and friends will be as understanding and supportive as you guys.

ON THE BALL CITY!

Fabian.
