Racism through the roof. Domestic abuse through the roof. Vandalism through the roof. All neanderthals… and the saddest part is that they feel more enabled than ever because of events over the last 5 years.
If the BBC had put even half this much effort into analysing the effects Brexit would have on everybody as they have on the death of Prince Philip, we might not be in such a bloody mess as a nation. 😙
Even as a Norwich fan I share your despair at all this. It does have an air of ‘punish Leeds cos it’s Leeds’. I thought it was all rather funny and harmless, so to see it still being discussed in terms like this baffles me. Make some jokes, small fine for Bielsa, case closed 👍
Just gets more ludicrous by the day this spying nonsense. No other club could elicit such an overreaction. Now we have Stuart "Psycho" Pearce feigning outrage and demanding the 'punishment fit the crime' - what crime is that then you absolute plank?

Sacking Farke feels like putting your much-loved but in-pain pet to sleep. You’re incredibly sad but you know it’s the right thing to do. That’s the best analogy I can come up with.
#ncfc
So Buendia looks likely to leave and now some fans think ‘he’s not that good’. Utterly bizarre. One of the most gifted footballers to ever grace Carrow Road.
#ncfc
I’m beginning to reach the point where I’d be satisfied if
#ncfc
made a stand against this and just refuse to play any more games. Let them relegate us. Why should we, and other clubs, put players and staff (and their families) in danger? I’d like to think others would follow.
Quite peeved at the lack of respect some fans are showing to Ashley Barnes. He's spent 7 of the last 9 seasons playing regularly in the Prem Lge (& doing a good job) & the other two seasons he was part of title winning Championship teams. The guy is a warrior - just what we need

I don’t want Johnson as PM.
I don’t want Corbyn.
I don’t want Swinson either.
No.
I think we should take Obama on a year-long loan with a view to a permanent transfer. I’d like that.
I’d happily keep him IF he goes back to his tried & trusted formation, trusts his philosophy & tells his players to concentrate on playing our game & stop focussing on the opponent. Attack them; no-fear Farkeball. If we lose, so be it. If we go down, so be it. But do it our way.
I've seen a lot of people saying
#NCFC
shouldn't sack Farke because he's on a 4-year contract and the pay of is sizeable. We've also spent £16 million on Tzolis & Rashica to leave on the bench, so it depends what you think is a more foolish use of cash.
I’m watching Brentford cause Liverpool no end of problems and I’m feeling angry. Angry because less than two years ago,
#ncfc
totally dominated Brentford at Carrow Road; and you look at our paths since then… I’m angry at what we’ve become. It’s happened quickly & at great cost.
The East Anglian Derby seems to get mocked constantly, yet it’s the only English derby deemed dangerous enough each season to have a mandatory Sunday lunchtime kick off. Strange that...
#ncfc
#itfc
Getting this in early but just a quick reminder to people who will no doubt lose their shit tonight if
#ncfc
lose to the side top of the table: we haven’t lost away from home since August 18 last year. We’re still in the mix for promotion whatever the result tonight. Be proud. 👍
Reading the
#AlanPartridge
hashtag is almost as funny as the show. So many people have clearly tuned in and not had a clue what Partridge is about. Idiots. 😂
Just 18 months or so ago we totally outclassed Brentford at Carrow Road (Buendia scored). Since then, despite having similar financial constraints, we’ve made a total mess of things and they’ve never looked back. Easy to see why
#ncfc
fans are so frustrated.
He won’t play Gilmour. He’s made a scapegoat of Giannoulis (who’s been pretty decent bar a couple of mistakes). He won’t pick Tzolis. I still think its blindingly obvious he’s fallen out with Cantwell. He has no idea about Rashica’s strengths. He ain’t half making a mess of this.
Quick summary of MOTD2s coverage of our game last night:
Arsenal this; Arsenal that; Arsenal bad, Arsenal poor; Arsenal rubbish; Arsenal sad; Arsenal Arsenal Arsenal; more Arsenal; angry at Arsenal; shame for Arsenal.
But Norwich played well no?
Yeah.
🤷♂️
#ncfc
No idea if it’s ever been suggested before, but a statue of Justin Fashanu celebrating ‘that’ goal, perhaps with rainbow laces incorporated into his boots? He represents more than just football, would be a nice idea I think...
#ncfc
Ah, I see MOTD are literally showing absolutely none of our good play. Making it look like the most one sided match imaginable. Some things never ever change…
#ncfc
I’ve got to tip my hat to Farke and the lads on the pitch. In the summer I really thought he’d lost his mojo/desire to be here but he, along with the players - under immense pressure due to congestion, injuries and fan demands - have been absolutely brilliant.
#ncfc
👏👏👏
Just thinking about two players from last night who received loads of abuse last season - Krul and Cantwell. Lay off our players and let them develop.
#ncfc
Remember that time when Chris Hughton agreed a combined fee of around £13m for Van Dijk and Alderweireld? That’d have been good. We ended up with Joseph Yobo.
#ncfc
No issue with Ipswich fans taking the piss. They’re our rivals. We just got relegated & humiliated. It’s what they’re supposed to do. Just so long as they acknowledge they are so shit it makes us look like Liverpool in comparison & that we are light years ahead of them.
#ncfc
So much crap being spouted about Pukki. I think I'm right in saying he's 4th in the Championship this season for goal involvements which, given how horrendous we've played, is approaching miracle territory. As always with him: give him good service and he'll deliver.
#ncfc
According to Leeds fans, clubs like Norwich are greedy and ruining football. Apparently, it’s unfair that Norwich want to complete the season by, you know, actually playing the remaining games. It’s also fair that Leeds go up with ten games to go.
#ncfc
Finally got around to listening to the ‘controversial’ Webber interview. My conclusion...
STOP FINDING OFFENCE IN EVERYTHING YOU SEE OR HEAR!! You wanted open and honest and you’ve got it. You can’t go running to mummy when you don’t hear what you want to hear.
#ncfc
Anybody who thinks
#ncfc
v
#itfc
isn’t a real rivalry because a) we’re miles apart, or b) don’t kick seven bells out of each other, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. It’s not just about football - it’s county v county. A rivalry that’s lasted 100s of years.
Today
#ncfc
fans will be told we’re tinpot for having an open top bus, tinpot for not all being smashed at 9am, tinpot for not beating everyone up and tinpot cos Leeds would have had more fans at the parade. Oh, and we’re not allowed to take the piss out of our relegated rivals.
Interesting that the people who regularly watch 2.Bundesliga think that Marvin Ducksch would be a good signing for
#ncfc
, but Barry from Diss doesn't rate him and thinks he's the cheap option because he's never heard of him.
I’m not replying to any more
#ncfc
fans tonight. The lack of perspective is winding me up. Look at what has been going on in football these last couple of days. And we’re moaning because we didn’t win the title tonight (but almost certainly still will)? Madness.
I just want to add to the CJ love-in that I bloody love Russell Martin too. I know it’s not cool to say that because he has struggled for a long time, but what a brilliant ambassador for the club - and he was a very good player for at least five years. Good luck at Rangers
#ncfc
Shearer wants consistency on the offsides where keepers views are ‘impeded’ yet he said
#ncfc
v Leicester was correctly ruled out yet the one last week and Villa’s yesterday should stand! Ours was the most contentious of the lot!! Some consistency from pundits would be nice too.
@bbclaurak
It’s almost time to ditch Boris. Literally.
Oh, and while we’re at it, let’s ditch Brexit completely and get back to being a (relatively) sane and (genuinely) cool country again.
Perhaps ditch a few of the top brass at the Beeb too.
Let's not beat around the bush – that is a huge 3 points for
#ncfc
. Huddersfield aren't up to much and I can see them in a relegation battle, but today was all about the psychology and having suffered 12 straight defeats, a win was essential.
First time I’ve seen the new one and I seem to be in a minority but I thought
#SpittingImage
was pretty good. Some of the voices were a bit ‘off’ but lots of good lines and sketches. People forget but the original was hit and miss every week but didn’t spoil my enjoyment.
As great as Farke was for Norwich, let’s not forget how exceptional
#ncfc
was for him! Doubtful many clubs would have plucked him from Dortmund II and been as patient with him as he put his style in place. Will get a rousing reception whenever he returns. But it was time to go.
I've no idea if Allan Russell's a good coach (you'd hope he is baring in mind he worked with England), but the fact he spoke more sense in one presser than Smith did during 13 months is another indication of how football's moved on. We need a proper coach to take us forward again
“Britain are the envy of the world.” There, in a nutshell, is the problem with Brexit - delusions of grandeur. We are not the envy of the world. We have made ourselves the laughing stock of the world.
#bbcbreakfast
The Cantwell absence, whether unfortunate or deliberate, is harming us. Likewise the Tzolis lack of game time. He tormented (a currently unbeaten) Bournemouth and was the brightest spark v Liv (cup) yet as soon as the pen is missed he’s had no mins. Questions to be asked.
#ncfc
I have had to explain to my 4-year old that it is NOT normal for either Norwich City or England to be this good at football. He didn’t understand but I’m sure he will at some point. 😂
#ncfc
Listen, it goes something like this; Dozzell agent claims
#ncfc
are interested; their fans have a meltdown; Dozzell then signs bumper contract extension at
#itfc
; their fans go nuts thinking that he’s turned us down. It’s all be for PR purposes - and because he wants more 💰🙄
I mentioned it a fair bit last season, but never underestimate just how much damage the Dean Smith reign did to
#ncfc
. Yes, we had a ‘mare end of last season under Wagner, but you can now see what he can do as a coach with time to implement his plan with players to suit.
Seriously, any
#ncfc
fans complaining that kids are going FREE to the Bolton game should hang their heads in shame, you absolute numpties. You're not 'losing out' in any shape or form. We need an injection of young fans to start going – what better way to get them involved?
Worth pointing out at this stage that
#ncfc
have only suffered one away defeat all season - and that was to a 93rd-minute goal at Sheffield United in August. In the hustle and bustle of the Championship, that is some record.
Not many people doubting Farke now and rightly so. We had to go through the usual teething problems any club does if they make drastic changes to personnel and style, but now we’ve got a young, vibrant team who are expressing themselves and have plenty of room to grow. 😍
