[Goring-by-Seagull]

At least Chris Hughton can concentrate on running Los Pollos Hermanos now.

Yes! YES!

lol. v good

 

[Don Quixote]

Their new manager will get that all important pre-season at least.

How high is their ceiling? Is he touting himself yet ?

How high is a canary cage?

Oscar would do a great job at Norwich.

Be a shame to see him go, but I think he deserves his chance.

Thanks for the memory Oscar.

He would be very good there......

 

[Mowgli37]

I hope this backfires. There must be justice in this world.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Yes, let's put the youth team coach in charge for the last, crucial five games of the season. Genius.

Norwich's season comes down to one match basically anyway. Beat Fulham and they should be okay, lose it and they're - very much like a turkey produced by one of the city's favourite sons Bernard Matthews - stuffed.

My man on clacker-watch at Carrow Road tells me they all threw the wretched things on the pitch in disgust on Saturday. I'm feeling that pain.

The curse of the clackers strikes again

How high is a canary cage?

Just above the higher perches...same,just a different spelling.

I must admit, I haven't studied the table for a while, but one thing that has just surprised me is that Fulham appear to be in with a chance of survival. I thought they'd been utter plop for months, with some sort of ridiculous managerial game of musical chairs going on, and yet, somehow, they seem to still be more less in touch. Five games to play, one against Norwich, and the last one at home to Palace- they're not going to scrape out of this, are they?

Another, altogether more astonishing Premier League fact. Palace have conceded fewer goals this season than Liverpool

Admittedly, they've only scored 23, which is by far the worst in the PL. But it's hard to believe the goals against column, especially when you consider how shit they were in the first few games. Not conceding many, not scoring many. Sounds vaguely familiar.

What are you saying that Oscar is the Spanish Pulis?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

What are you saying that Oscar is the Spanish Pulis?

Not at all. Just (a) expressing my astonishment at that particular stat and (b) musing on how it's funny that one's expectations/relative position impact on whether one finds such statistics acceptable or not.

So, we concede few and score few and find it hard to watch because of where it leaves us. Palace do the same and are turning cartwheels because of where it leaves them.

Product of our relative positions I guess. Funny.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Hopefully Mackay doesn't take it, he'd be my preferred choice here

 

[catfish]

The idiocy of football club directors never fails to amuse me.

 

[nipponseagull]

A little crazy IMO guess they are hoping for that new manager Honeymoon period lasting 5 games !!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Norwich vs Fulham on Saturday is the biggest relegation match of the Prem season so far, whoever loses is stuffed.

 

[Philzo-93]

5 games to go? Absolutely ridiculous decision IMO

And look who they have: Liverpool, Chelsea, United

Has draw written all over it.

 

[nicko31]

If they wanted to sack Chris H it should have been done a month or two back, instead its been weeks of the chairman undermining the manager.

Football in this country just sinks lower and lower. I just hope to god Albion never behave like this...

 

[Pavilionaire]

So that's the full set, all 7 bottom Prem clubs have sacked their manager this season. How can they ALL be rubbish?
