Be careful what you wish for as regards Mr. Redknapp.... see Bournemouth, Southampton, Portsmouth. Would marvelous Marcus really bankroll another 'glory manager' appointment? I get the feeling he (ME) is now between a rock and a hard place- he has to get you up to ever see his money (and the interest on his money he is charging the club )again, but that means even more £££s. I thought he was trying to reign in on the spending- is he really up for another big push and the spending that comes with it?

Mind you HR and ITFC would be an ideal marriage given the shared background of (...alleged) dodgy financial histories (...had to get a sly dig in ).

I think he'll have at least 3 more games. He went on a 7 game run of defeats last year don't forget, just depressing that it's at the start of the season.

Good teams are built on a 'spine' of good players.

I do rate Loach, Chambers and Chopra. Amazingly, as much as we need a centre back, I feel Boyd would have been a massive compliment to our team. I like Drury, but Boyd would be a better version, who comes with added goals.

Taylor being injured is a massive dissapointment, he's a class player, and Cresswell seems to have been playing with his eyes closed of late, he needs to get his foot back on the gas.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hewitt is a massive improvement over Edwards defensively, he really could make a difference. One of my mates said he looks very comfortable, but seriously lacking in fitness, understandable.

Player wise, it's going in the right direction IMO. Just need the confidence and results to follow.

Hang on, ....isn't your ground owned by the Local Council? (who you neglected to pay rent to for months)

Just noticed the ITFC thread is more popular than the Magpies


We ARE a big club

In other news..... Ornithologists (Dale, that's people what watch birdies) report unusual happenings in Norfolk today, when a flock of canaries were well and truly humped by a giant Liver bird!!

You've evidently never been to Norwich.
I have been to Ipswich and it *is* a sthole. I think most impartial observers would agree.

Really? Obviously ignoring the fact I lived in Norwich for 8 years quite recently.

No, I'm over that, but I do feel dirty still.

It doesn't help that several of my relatives (wife's side of the family thank god) are scummers.

A few good signings over the last couple of days.

Hopefully they'll have some impact and we can out a run together to drag our sorry arses upwards.

On another note, Chopra seems to have dropped himself in more st with this bet fixing scandal. A distraction that we don't need.

Ah bks
