Looks like we missed out on that opportunity. Bradley James Orr (born 1 November 1982) is an English retired footballer. He is the uncle of Liverpooldefender Jon Flanagan.

E plus A. Anyone give me 5/1? I can pay in bitcoin or hobnobs.

Well, a team with three of our favorites lost 3-4 at home and two of them scored?.Funny old game.

I feel that my post of yesterday relating to our aggregate time spent reading this tantalizing thread rings even more true now than yesterday. The sheer act of checking back here every five minutes to catch a momentous wave of hope, only to be thrust onto the jagged edges of “Transferdeadline reef” exhausted and sleep deprived with nothing to show for my efforts is something I really do not want to endure for a while. Well, until January perhaps?

I can only imagine how many hours in total of our lives are taken up revisiting this thread time and time again in the final hours before the deadline door slams in our faces. Wishing and hoping someone blinding is sighted at Brockhall rather than ending up with Fockall. Multiple that by twice a year plus the other links to transfer sites and then multiply that by the number of times we have done this since the internet was invented. Yikes, if we multiply that by our average hourly rate we could probably have bought Ronaldo.

Sterling is asking for300k a week. That’s 10k a miss.

My pleasure JacknOry

What a line up.!!! http://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/ben-marshall-glad-for-canaries-blackburn-reunion-1-5636118

Someone not giving a thumbs up to Shabby. Seems an honest bloke with a fair old couple of sleeves who has kicked on since Shebby deemed him surplus. https://www.coachesvoice.com/cut-short-leicester-city-oxford-united-portsmouth-fc-blackpool-blakburn-rovers-west-brom/

A pint for Mr Jerome please barman

Oh what a night. Great win and great potential signing. Early doors, but beats a shafting from 50 million quid man and no need on the transfer front.

We are not alone. http://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/ipswich-town-boss-paul-hurst-wants-new-signings-1-5625469

All that glitters...... For all that expenditure, who is in the Premier League and indeed who is in Division 1. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.football.london/championship/aston-villa-top-championship-spending-14601544.amp chucking money at it can destabilize the squad unless it needs blowing up. In Tony we trust.

Maybe they thought we were back in the Premier League again?

This is where managers realize they need to get rid of players and get others in. The merry go round begins in earnest. It’s as important to dodge the donkeys as it is to sign the stallions.

Lest we forget. The power of signing a good crosser for the start of the season. Graham is no Santa Cruz but he can put them in when they land on his head. By the way, Ince was no Mowbray. https://www.premierleague.com/video/single/705576

Every year we have high hopes and low expectations. Every year the price for average players goes up. Klopp realized what it needed to buy a world class goalie. We are competing against parachute payments and clubs who have money after selling their best players. We have been there. I think we need to recognize the dynamics and trust the process. Mowbray got us up and importantly has tied down our best players, so we have a settled squad raring to go. Hopefully we will get up a couple of players to strengthen a good squad. Not all the best teams in the Championship spend the most money. Mid table obscurity would be a great first season back with a chance to build and kick on.

Thanks for the link. Makes interesting reading. Nothing alarming in that thread. Quite the opposite.

Some quality thinking on this thread. Venkys should be welcoming Tony Mowbray with open arms if not wallets in Pune. For once the stars have aligned for us and we have a no nonsense manager who needed us as much as we needed him. His identity fits ours very well and hopefully now with a proper business framework around him at Ewood, we are a far cry from the dodgy dealings of recent years. Mowbray chooses players that fit his mould and ours. Some you win and some you lose but he won more than he lost this season especially with last minute signings. Mid table obscurity would be a solid start next season although the promotion bounce worked well for Sheffield United and Millwall. Keeping it simple, staying open with fans and players and maintaining a no bull$&@ zone around the club would be the perfect mantra for 2018-2019. I hope the Venkys mantra is “in Mowbray we trust.” The losses in football terms are worrying but they are a tax write off for Venkys against profitable divisions. I am sure from a reputation standpoint they are more concerned about trying to rebuild their brand equity. Mowbray and the team have started the process. Long may it continue.

Grant Hanley. Instant Norwich legend?

Rejoice. 5 wins on the trot. Winning away after going one down. Belief and character and the dreaded Manager of the month award not a voodoo. Luvly.

On the subject of podcasts, these guys do quite a nice job covering our new division. This edition is their review of League 1

I have a haunch we will do well in this.
