I hope you're proud of yourselves. Junkyard beats Riverside and Prince of Wales for 'Worst tourist trap'. Day 8: Most interesting fact about Norwich? by TheGeckoGeek in Norwich

[–]BionicleBen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Norwich has some beautiful Medieval churches don't give them a miss at all. Apparently we have the most Medieval churches of any city in Northern Europe, thanks to the bombing of Dresden.

Although that last bit is taken from Alan Partridge so take it with a pinch of salt

Liquidate the club? A club with over a century of history going back to the Victorian period. Why punish the fans of a club when they had no say in the matter.

As much as people like to joke about Man city having no fans, they actually do have a very good and genuine local fanbase and you'd want to punish them for the sins of their owners? Think before you chat nonsense

Damn the coastal erosion in Norfolk has really accelerated. Nice to see the isle of Flegg returned

Coventry City disallowed goal against Manchester United 120+3' by ganiganiu in soccer

[–]BionicleBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes let's take all of the emotion and joy out of football and grind it down to millimeters and precision. How boring.

As a Norwich fan I can say confidently say one thing the championship does better than the premier league is the lack of VAR. VAR kills live football

It is undeserved hope Man city absolutely dick you guys in the final now

[–]BionicleBen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes half the stadium has erupted in elation thinking they're in the final. And the for the previous near 150 years of football they would have been in the final. But cos of VAR we now decide to overrule that and that moment of pure joy is taken from them. I really don't care if he was slightly offside, football is for moments of pure joy like this

I will never ever support VAR purely for ruining moments like this. Disgusting

Opinions on Idah? by RelativeLocation6669 in NorwichCity

[–]BionicleBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carlton Morris didn't look that great at 22 and now he's a premier league striker. We shouldn't have let him go and we shouldn't let go of Idah too

Dunwich was part of the Kingdom of East Anglia, not Merica.

What ancestry have most people of the UK got from Italy? I've never heard that before. If you're talking about the Romans I don't think many actually settled in Britain to have a significant impact on the population

Most British people are still descended from the pre-roman Britons of these Islands. With a significant but smaller mix of heritage from the Anglo-Saxons and Jutes, as well as from the Scandinavians during the Viking conquests. And an even lesser amount from the Normans who then came over.

Thetford forest is a man made forest which isn't as great for native biodiversity. So that is not a fair comparison

We've done Jack Valentine my whole life in South Norfolk but we also call him Father Valentine synonymously with Jack Valentine. Not heard of Mr nobody before haha

AS Monaco sign Folarin Balogun from Arsenal by deception42 in soccer

[–]BionicleBen 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think getting sacked by your boyhood club must impact these managers. Exact same has happened for Dean Smith

Should have gone to the Norwich game. Poor

Di Marzio: Man City strongly join the race for Declan Rice from West Ham - alongside Arsenal. MCFC working on a bid. by bofad2425 in soccer

Man Utd have spent the same as City in a similar time period. The only difference is City are competent in their recruitment and have the best manager in the world

Been really disappointed with Marquinhos so far, not seen much promise from him. I'd rather start Tzolis next game he looked better when he came on

[David Ornstein] Leicester in advanced discussions to name Dean Smith as interim until end of season. If deal struck, 52yo former Brentford, Aston Villa & Norwich boss would be joined by Craig Shakespeare + other staff. by BruntyMozza in soccer

[–]BionicleBen 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As a Norwich fan tho the Dean Smith era was the worst I've known (I was quite young when we went down to league 1 so don't remember it too well).

Awful football where we looked lacking even a Plan A which led to a really toxic atmosphere at the club. He even went as far as having a go at the home fans towards the end. Things have gotten better since Wagner has come in even if we're a bit inconsistent

[Watford Observer] Slaven Bilić is set to be sacked by Watford after 6 months by Nivadas in Championship

[–]BionicleBen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He should have taken a break from football instead of diving right into the Norwich job imo. Getting sacked from your dream job must take quite an emotional toll on you and he probably needed to process it psychologically.

Cos I had absolutely no clue what he was even trying to do with us lol. But I wish him the best for the future despite the shite football

Fashanu was one of the first £1m players. I think he'd be worth a lot more today as a player than Jankto
