Justice for Roy Hodgson today, delighted for him.
What a strange thing to say.

I wasn't aware he'd been wronged and suffered some injustice...
Really, he was vilified by the Liverpool fans virtually from the day he joined the club and was given just 31 games in charge of a club in decline, who as far as I can see are still in decline yet Dalglish doesn't seem to suffer the same kind of negativity as Hodgson did.

So yes, he did suffer and injustice and so today was justice indeed.
when hodgson left us we were 12th. currenty, having had a "disastrous" season we are 8th, we've won a cup and we're in the final of another cup.

hosgson was vilified for slagging off his own fans and for his negative tactics. we were a combination of dire and awful to watch.
Dalglish bloody well should be doing better than Hodgson, he's has £86m more to spend, none of the boardroom bullst Hodgson had to deal with and the blinkered support of the fans despite their dreadful results.
Lol

So, my little Norwich welcome you lot to Carrow Road this weekend for a pretty meaningless encounter. I know you're not in the best of form, but I can't help think you are due to smash some team 4-0 or 5-0 or something like that. We were very poor against Blackburn, and I suspect, now we are safe, we may get a bit of a hiding.
You see I keep telling myself week in week out that this will happen.

"We're just unlucky", "it'll all come good", "someones gonna get thrashed"

I'm still waiting for it to happen though......

Indeed. We've been absolutely marmalising teams 0-1 all bloody season. I keep telling myself the nightmare will end but I haven't woken up yet!!

As for the players I point a finger at after 34 league matches

Andy Carroll 4 goals 1 assist
Stewart Downing 0 goals 0 assists,
Jordan Henderson 1 goal 1 assist
Charlie Adam 2 goals 6 assists

Total 7 goals 10 assists
Why only them?

For you guys banging on about "it doesn't matter how we play - goals matter", the same attitude must be applied to tables like the above. In which case Suarez must shoulder some of the blame too, for all his creativity and superb play, he's only banged it in the back of the net 8 times this season. Or did you deliberately just pick out KK/DC signings - ie. the same people you've been relentlessly banging on about for the last 9 months.
You really want to put Suarez in that category too? Like really? Ok then Suarez's stats are 8 goals and 3 assists. That's with his ban! The likelihood is also that there would be a queue of clubs wanting to buy Suarez if he was for sale and we'd return a profit on him. Not a chance in hell on any of the others mentioned above - queue or profit.

On a more serious point - where is all this playing well nonsense coming from? We're not playing well. Even in games we 'dominate' a clear weakness I see from the stands is that we are no way near moving the ball fast enough.

Yes I do. Whilst he stands head and shoulders above the rest on your list, 8 goals and 3 assists (even with his ban) is still a very poor return by his standards.

I think if you'd asked at the beginning of the season whether we'd take 8 goals and 3 assists from Suarez, none of us would have.

It's not so much the video that is funny. The line 'weight of his dissenting arm' that tickled me. Funny as fook!

The Suarez stat from here

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/team?id=364&cc=57...

The others I had sent to me from a mate who'd got his hands on that league table since January.

Don't think they're far off. If you click the link underneath the stats you'll see we've won 3 league games this year.

"As excitement steadily rises ahead of the European Championships in June, expectant members of the squad - and Stewart Downing - have posed with the iconic animal usually found emblazoned on their shirt."

And those lions don't look Photoshopped in there at all... hehe

Well perhaps you need some glasses? Or perhaps you're not getting as good a view of the game from the stands as you would watching from a TV. If you tried the latter you would also free up a seat for someone who will hopefully sing and support our team - win win.

How can you possibly say we didn't play well against West Brom?! There is such as thing as playing well and losing you know. Barca played well vs Chelsea, they created chances, dominated possession, hit the woodwork but they lost. It happens. For some unfathomable reason we seem to have made it the status quo. So again I find it amazing that I have to even argue that we played well. The commentators during the game said we did, the usual pundits on MOTD said we did, numerous sports journalists said we did, i watched the post match interview with Hodgson and even he said we did!
