So it’s back across the border to them there in Wales. Hopefully there’ll be no bricks through any coach windows, but Holt appears to have ignited that again. But anyway.
As pointed out over on Holtamania, a Swansea win puts them above us in the league. And that’s annoying. Mainly, because we will then – however temporarily- lose the ability to counter the sickly love-in for Swansea with a “Yeah but just look at the league table.” Continue reading
The play-offs have left me in something of a pickle. Which is never somewhere anyone wants to be. Unless you like pickles, you’re Eric or are indeed a pickle. None of which applies to me.

(Click here for a very good blog on that very point courtesy of the Pinkun). The new Norwich way, is this?
While the teams in the mix were leaving second-place for one-another, City have taken the mantle and sit in pole -well, second position. Not that this is going to be a Bahrain-esque procession to the flag, more Spa in the autumn rain then sun then rain then sun then rain then sun then hail and you get the picture.
