Norwich
Fergie
at it again, having a pop at Pardew and Newcy being a “wee club in the North East”
adding “we’re the most famous club in the world” yeah, for all the wrong
reasons. No wonder EVERYONE hates ‘em. He’s got away with it of course, whilst
Roberto could be charged for an off hand jokey remark.
Went
down on Friday with the Blue Vic. Good run down. White Horse let us down –
karaoke moved to New Years eve, which
must have impressed the 3 people in the pub.
Saturday
dawned with rain forecast. What a civilised place Norwich is – hotel at the
ground lets folk in to have drinks, eat food and watch telly (no karaoke
though!)
Rain
kept off and we sold the zines I’d taken by 20 past 2. Should’ve took more. Sods.
Aguero/Tevez
partnership failed for the first time in 15 at Sunderland, so Dzeko in and
Carlos out. Hm.
Justified
in the first 5, 2 goals up and it looked like a coast provided we didn’t do owt
daft. Vinny was powerful for the second goal, some pundits thought a one footed
tackle to hold onto the ball is a foul! Ref then thought a one footed tackle
to win the ball WAS a foul, and naturally they scored from the resultant free
kick with a deflection. No penalty for the foul on Zab in the box, no free kick
for the back pass tipped over by the goalie, and Samir sent off for the head to
head, Harsh, but retaliation’s always
risky.
Second
half was a real battle, but we finally won 4-3, with only ten men.
Full
marks to Norwich for making a game of it, I almost felt sorry for them, until
we listened to radio Norfolk on the way home, on about Roberto’s ‘silly’ scarf,
and not acknowledging that we were down to ten men. Long drive home, Little
Chef let us down, oven bust so limited menu! Moved on and stopped at a pub in
Kettering for a carvery, and home in time for MOTD. Knackered, but happy.
Rags
beat WBA, Spurs won at Sunderland, Arsenal won at home to Newcy banging in
seven, and Chelsea (Rafa out!) won at Goodison, so tight at the top apart from
the rags being 7 points clear. Bastatds - time for RVP to get injured.methinks
Dave
Sky's goals of the year includes the one by Dong for Sunderland against us. Not that good a goal and offside to the bargain. At least they did include the only one deserving that status, Sergio's to win the prem, of course
ReplyDeleteWhich White Horse pub is it Dave??
ReplyDeleteis it the one in "Trowse", on the outskirts of Norwich, but about ten minutes from the ground??
