The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Should we put out a weakened side for every home game to ensure we can always play our strongest XI on the road where we have a chance of picking up points?

Really, really dire. It has been bad for a while, but that is a very, very, very bad Derby side. They embarrassed themselves in the first half, and then embarrassed us in the second. In the relegation zone, with enough of the season gone to say that the table doesn't lie.

Not sure if a video will be posted later but Manning said a few interesting things to @cjsouthwell1902.bsky.social m at the top of the @canariestrust.org Q&A. I don’t have exact quotes but broadly… 1. Ipswich paid an excessive fee, more than Núñez is worth, because of the expected fan outrage.

Remarkable video from Onel given everything. Interesting too. youtu.be/XQY7p7bPwdQ?...

And some people say that football is a business…

Núñez to Ipswich = knapper out

Every one of our games has finished 2-1 to the away team so far this season.

This lawyer going some distance to try and get on for my sin corner but it’s just not appropriate given the circumstances. @footballcliches.bsky.social

Vladdy brilliant. 💛💚 @ffionthomas.bsky.social was at the Tough Place To Go™️ and very much enjoyed it. #ncfc

I like it a lot more when we win.

Jed steer is excellent on co-comms (contra expectations). Thoughtful, measured, adding actual insight. Fair play.

'Give it time'. 'Rome wasn't built in a day'. 'The players need to gel'. Disappointingly, none of these phrases are used in this review by @paulbb66.bsky.social . #NCFC

Hello darkness my old friend

Hearing Chris Gorham pronouncing Kvistgaarden’s name is really twisting my melon.

Can you imagine a worse thing to be called.

It’s crystal ball time again… ACN’s finest bring you their hopes, fears and existential crises for Liam Manning’s shiny new future. #NCFC

Decent new training kit announced but when is the away kit being unveiled

I’d love to see the stats on change in neck circumference between this season and last season.

Contenders ready

On the pink un pod, @cjsouthwell1902.bsky.social pronounces Kvistgaarden as “Chris Gorham” and it took a while to realise that he wasn’t proposing a radical idea for who’ll be upfront next season.

@natschatpodcast.bsky.social just flew in from England for tonight’s game and picked up my Nats Chat tee in time to represent at the stadium

Is Mathias Kvistgaarden the real deal? After last season I was feeling a little jaded. Three minutes into a conversation with a Brøndby fan about this lad and I’m absolutely buzzing again. www.alongcomenorwich.com/articles/is-...

Shoot! A new feature for @alongcomenorwich.bsky.social: the first is a focus on Dean Ashton. alongcomenorwich.com/articles/foc...

This piece quotes Liam Manning saying his coaching philosophy “starts with the behaviours”. If that’s correct it spells bad news for a few of the players. www.pinkun.com/sport/norwic...

This is a decent team when the players are actually making the effort.

I got this email from the club today at 933am. Perfect.

I am not saying I have any Good Opinions to post about the situation, but cor blimey there are some Bad Opinions being posted on this website and the other one today.

I really liked Thorrup. When it worked it was glorious, but it's just not been working enough. I have no idea if this is a good decision or not - depends on what comes next. But it really leaves a bad taste to have the sense that players have forced this by downing tools recently.
