PS - similar to a lot of clubs we all having a feeling what the #ncfc way of playing is but could we put it in words? Would playing that way top being successful?

Perhaps this is all a reflection of what football has become. Money driven, technocratic, where we focus on spreadsheets and deep tactical analysis rather than gifted players and entertainment.

But ultimately and crucially, if we are successful all will be forgiven and forgotten.

Of this confusion.

It will continue to be rocky with the supporters. Nunez adds to this but the main thing is the lack of success for many seasons now. The growing theme for me is that this won’t be pretty football viewed as not the Norwich way which will be a stick to beat them with.

And that change is expensive and will mean dead time as it beds in. As a result I don’t think we will find success this season, it builds to next. This will not be acceptable to a number and flies in the face of what #ncfc have said about aims for this season. Ask Thorup about the dangers ….

The view will depend on what we do.

Blame falls on Knapper from various quarters for various reasons. Ultimately if we are not successful that is what will damn him. But at this midway point my opinion on his biggest failing is no clear template. Thor up to Manning is a huge stylistic change…

Football of last season. That takes time and a turnover of players. It means that players like Nunez don’t fit as he is neither the physical presence, hard worker, organised or dependable type of player for the template.

If he is a success it will be hard to take, but anything less that that…

Having ran the full spectrum of emotions of the Nunez thing, I’m probably calm enough to comment without cringing when I look back on it.

City are clearly heading in a structured and physical direction that relies on big lads, pressing and organisation. We are moving away from the pretty…

I’m not quite 48 but otherwise this could be me.

Overhead a girl in a cafe tell the group she was with that she'd never follow an influencer that old, after she saw me taking a photo of my lunch. I'm not an influencer, I'd just arranged my lunch into a cock and balls and was sending the pic to my mates. I'm 48.

I was also struck that Vance is as much as a Kremlin asset as Trump.

wiggumncfc.bsky.social @wiggumncfc.bsky.social · Mar 1

The more you watch that Trump and Zelensky press conference, the more it feels like being punched in the gut. For anyone to have to work with that guy is humiliating. We need to face up to a world where we need to reduce to a minimum our links with the US. Militarily, economically, diplomatically.

So much to admire in this response. Nails his colours to the mast and does not seek to hide his commitment to the style of play. www.edp24.co.uk/sport/248729...
