Matchday #46; Norwich vs City; 07.05.2011; Carrow Road, Kick off @ 12.45pm (3 Viewers)

[The CableGuy]

The end of a long and turbulent season is in sight, and the City end it by taking on a future Premier League team in East Anglia.

Norwich secured back-to-back promotions tonight after their victory at Pompey and Cardiff's implosion at home to Boro. It promises to be one big promotion party at Carrow Road this Saturday, and the Sky Blues, after dominating their game against Play-Off contenders Reading, are invited.

The future is bright under the leadership of Andy Thorn. Players and fans alike are enjoying the brand of passing, attacking football which has seen City secure their Championship status for another season. With the relegation of Preston, City are now the elders of the Championship - next season will be the Sky Blues 11th consecutive season in this league.

If City can continue the progress under the Thorn Era; If Andy can continue to be fat, round and win at every ground; If SISU give their new Manager backing and if we can keep the likes of Gunny and King - then who knows? 12 months from now we could all having the promotion or even play-off party we've been waiting 11 years for.

Teams like Norwich have shown us what is required. The Season Finale at Carrow Road will show us how far City have truly progressed.

PUSB!

6-0 - I'm sticking with it and when it finally happens I can say "told you so"

Might take a couple of year's................... ointlaugh:

 

[Richard Smith]

i fancy us to nick it maybe 1-2 or 2-3

 

[Richard Smith]

oh and i forgot to add that marlon will score all our goals and his celebration will be him signing a contract infront of the fans :laugh:

 

[Nick]

I think we should make a deal with them before hand to draw 6-6 or something for the fans

 

[gouldberg]

I think we should make a deal with them before hand to draw 6-6 or something for the fans

Surely if we're going for that approach we should set a few records as we do it. 99-100 to us and then we do the ultimate sneaky thing and don't let them score their 100th :guitar2:

No?

Ok then, bad feeling it will be 3-1 to them. King to score for us, goals for them coming via Jackson (2) and Holt.

 

[Nick]

2-1 to them with King for us and Ward and Holt scoring for them!

 

[Disorganised1]

I've never seen us lose at Carrow Road - but I'll be in Liverpool next weekend - 2 - 2

 

[Covstu]

1-0 city!!!

 

[Skyblueloyal]

As there want a win in front of there own fans at there promotion party. I will go for 4-1 with King to get ours

 

[kg82]

I'm pretty sure there's a touch of symmetry to this? Wasn't their first game back in this league after they were relegated from the prem against us and we drew 1-1 (think Adebola got ours)?

 

[JCR1987]

I reckon we're gonna get tonked 4 or 5 nil. It's the city way.

 

[ccfc luke]

It doesnt really matter but it would be good if we could get a draw

 

[dojer]

Norwich are a good side with some decent players so it'll be close, 5-0 to us

 

[skybluewill]

party atmosphere at carrow road, maybe a high scoring affair. 3-3

 

[CovScott88]

Im going for 2-2. King and Gunnarsson.

 

[smileycov]

After the lord mayors show and all that!! 1 - 2 with a King brace

 

[Pigeon]

2-1 King and KEOGH he's got to do it!!!!

 

[Houchens Head]

3 - 0 to Norwich and Delia will do a lap of honour wearing nothing but a smile!

 

[BenInTurin]

3-3 Hopefully another entertaining game like Reading.

 

[sky_blue_up_north]

We could spoil the party, looking forward to it. I will stay behind after the game as well a celebrate with the Norwich fans, who are overall a pretty decent lot

 

[rob9872]

SB up North - Love that MLK quote, although a bit embarrassing when Cameron used it - don't know why, but always reminds me of Rudyard Kiplings 'If'.

Perhaps it should be Marlon Luther King, but I've just googled him and his parents missed a trick by giving him Francis as a middle name.

[sky_blue_up_north]

Just looking forward to next season with our new formation. Hoping to keep our star players and add a couple. Get Turner and McPake fully fit. Should be a good day. Yes we have a chance, so I'll go for a draw, and enjoy the Norwich celebration... this time next year we'll be champions :claping hands:

Yes I find it some up quite a few situations....

 

[Lets all sing together]

I work just out side of London and a couple of guys at work (arsenal fans) have said to me "oh, Norwich deserve to de there, the're a premiership club"

erm excuse me, no they fucking don't, City , Forest , and Leeds should be the 3 out the championship,

2-2 another good result for us 1 loss in 8 AT seems to be getting his tactics right and jukey is starting to score roll on next season

 

[Coventry La La La]

I'm glad for Keogh he deserved a goal this season.

Hopefully we get descent highlight's on the football league show later. :facepalm:

 

[Phil_Mc_90]

We played very well again mate. More than matched them and our passing was excellent. Sammy Clingan was probably mom for me, closely followed by Keogh.
