As for today. It's going to be a tough one. I'd be over the moon with a win but think a point would be a good day at the office. COYR 33 minutes ago, Super said: Morning all.

However I've been thinking about this and come to the conclusion Delia Smith = cooking = food for thought = I've thought about it and it's 3-1 to City. Get your bets on now Thanks to you guys. Thanks to everyone. Really appreciate the comments. Makes it all the more worthwhile each time I try and think up something interesting; not always relevant but always try to make a connection with the City and the the team we are playing even if tenuous not least because I do not want to repeat what I wrote in the previous encounter between the same two clubs. 3 Quote Link to comment
SoliCyder Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Was going to go for 1-1 but can't help optimism at the moment so 2-1 to us Quote Link to comment

Great read as always, thank you H. My knowledge of my homeland grows with each of your posts. I know little about Norwich other than the Delia connection and it's the home of Colman's. https://www.colmans.co.uk/colmans-story As for today I have it as ending 1-1 which would be a decent away point.

Tangle Foot Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 4 points from next 2 matches would be great, 3 points from next 2 matches would be OK, but 6 points from next 2 matches would be absolutely unbelievable (pinch yourself time). COYR! Quote Link to comment

Norwich as far as I can see are the sort of side that we`ll either beat narrowly or lose by a few to. 1 Quote Link to comment

wendyredredrobin Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 The way we are playing with a pretty settled team means anything can happen. We need to convert those scoring chances we are missing though. Not saying we have not been scoring enough, but we are missing a lot too. I think we can come home with 3 points today and the Canaries are not looking that great with a goal difference of-4 this season. Also Oliviera is out for them as well, so hard to see where they will be getting their goals from. Quote Link to comment

downendcity Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Before the away games at Reading, Wolves and Norwich I suspect most fans were pretty pessimistic and would have been delighted if we came away with 2/3 points from all 3 games. The fact that we gained 4 points from the first 2 means that even if we lose today we have already done far better than most expected. Perhaps it is a sign of the teams growing confidence and level of performance and fans optimism and expectation that most will now be disappointed if we draw, let alone lose, today Quote Link to comment
