With the allegations already being levelled at him and Southampton, Tonda Eckert’s behaviour here is embarrassing.
The referee is informing him of an allegation of discrimination against his captain, while he reacts like an overstimulated toddler. Do better.
No one denies you’re not a committed fan, but you are inherently a glory hunter, otherwise you’d follow your local mls team or Brentford. You chose Chelsea cause they are successful, simple.
Imagine telling Norwich City fans when they were 23rd in November that they would have a faint shot of the Championship play-offs in early April. They’d have laughed. Imagine if Philippe Clement had been appointed earlier. When he arrived on Nov 18, Norwich had 9 points from 15 games. They are now 9th with 58 points from 41 games. Highly unlikely but not impossible that Norwich could make the play-offs. 6 points off with 5 games remaining. Still a long shot. But Clement has transformed Norwich.
He's improved fitness levels, defensive concentration and mood. Improved recruitment, too, and credit to sporting director Ben Knapper: Mohamed Toure, Randers, £2.6m, scouted by Knapper since 2022; Paris Maghoma from Brentford and Ali Ahmed from Vancouver.
Knapper’s appointment of Clement has been inspired (and may have saved Knapper’s job). Clement has authority, presence, good decision-making and deals with adversity. He lost Makama to injury, and Sargent to a sulk and Toronto FC. He had 10 players injured going into Friday’s game with Portsmouth, drawn 1-1. Norwich trailed 1-0 to Millwall at a sold-out Den today, but Clement’s subs turned the game around: Mohamed Toure 2x assists, Schwartau the winner. Clement has restored hope to Norwich. #OTBC
When the annual salary of a graphic designer is the same cost as a weeks wages for a player it’s always sad to see when a Professional club opts to go down the AI route
I expect to see a similar post praising Norwich for their FA Cup run. They’re both Championship teams making it to the fifth round so surely there’s no reason they’re favouring Wrexham, right? #ncfc
