"David Connolly preferred to Lee Barnard..." "Alex Okladay Chamberlain" F*ck me.

A youth player. No need to be so incredulous about it.

Well a couple of them do say coverage starts half an hour before kick off...

Has anyone replied with "Are you Cortese in disguise" yet?

There was once a lady friend of his sat down underneath the counter. What she was doing down there, i'll leave for others to discuss.

Surprised - but glad - to see Martin back in defence.

Anyone got any of these working?

This rules Adkins out for me, he would be a good appointment but certainly not an "OMG, considering this Cortese was right all along" kind of thing.

For christ sake, the "get your fathers gun" chant is just another way to make a lot of noise.

So you think he doesn't talk to them at all, just sits in his office, strokes his white cat and lights cigars?

Why is everyone dropping Martin?

Most players who come here have spoken about how the chairman has "sold me the vision of this club".

For the first time in years I might not be going tomorrow through choice. I honestly - and regrettably - cannot get motivated.

Who can you picture then? Personally I wouldn't have pictured Alan Pardew on the touchline before it actually was announced.

How do you know we ignored the chance? Maybe no-one was available who was good enough and wanted to sit in our reserves, and maybe get a chance on the bench every few weeks.

Alan Pardew was spotted in a property showroom the other day, blatantly buying a house down here to take the job again.

Was thinking about him as a potential manager the other day, wouldn't mind actually.

For a "fans spokesman" he doesn't know a lot about our club, does he.

Would be very happy with this tbh.

Yeah, the "three major people running the first team" all being together at the training ground does seem a bit far fetched.

Won't happen, and shouldn't. He hasn't been at his best but he still made a huge difference to our play (for the better) since he came back.

I may be wrong, but I thought the fit and proper persons test was only a Premier League thing.

Hang on a minute, when people were saying "Norwich started the season badly last year, why can't we go on to win the league" you always came back with "Norwich sacked their manager so we would have to do the same". Surely now you'll agree there is no reason we still can't go on to win the league? Depending on who we get in, obviously.

If we get Eddie Howe the parallels are startling.
