Argh we’re not even playing this weekend and the fixtures are universally dreadful, fml

Is there any better end to a game than:
opposition get a ridiculous penalty at 1-1 in the 83rd
The guy who dived to win the pen tries to panenka it, and lobs it straight into the goalie’s arms
In injury time we go down the other end and they concede an own goal :smiley:

Oh and our first goal was from outside the area by an 18-year-old who’d come through the youth team :smiley:

[Please forgive #aleaguechat; it’s our 4th win in 20 games so I’m a bit hyped]

If memory serves something vaguely like this happened at Brentford a couple of years back on the final dsy of the season to deny them a play-off spot.

Mm that sort of makes sense, but I think given the geography of east anglia we might as well be from the same city or at least right next to each other, as you can extend it to “Norfolk vs Suffolk” I.e different flavours of pitchforks being waved about.

When City lost to Wigan in the '13 Cup Final i didn’t have a bet. It was probably the only time i’ve woke up on the day, looked at the oposition’s hefty odds and thought ‘No, they’re not going to win’. I forget what price they were, i’d guess around 12/1ish. Travelled to Wembley, it pissed down all day, still didn’t have a nibble at, i think, 9/1 in the ground, and we lost.

When we played them the following season in the quarter-finals i won a few grand as we lost again. Very tempted by the 20/1 odds this time round. The most likely outcome is City roll them over, but if the game was played twenty times i’d expect Wigan to win more than once, so idk.

He’s on the wind up, don’t worry about it (and exercising the chip on his shoulder about United caring more about beating Liverpool than City). Norwich v Ipswich is a derby, it’s fine.

“a sporting fixture between two teams from the same town, city or county, particularly in association football”.

The Carlos Carver Hal/Carvallylol derby! I for one am very excited.

#40

Carvalhal rivalry

Also think the Brighton Coventry derby might just surprise us.

I get it, but I still think the very nature of East Anglia being so remote makes it an exception because they may as well be the same counties as there’s nothing else around us. Like Ipswich and Colchester are closer but don’t really care about each other (right, @Aggpass?) because Colchester have other Essex teams (namely, Southend) to worry about

I’m pulling your chain, pal.

Think i’m right in saying the last time Norwich were in the top flight their nearest away game was Spurs.

Some people move away from the town they were born in, pal.

(Oooft, it’s frosty in here this morning. Big bombs central!).
