Why would they want Canaries as a nick name? Sparrows wasn't available? It's a nick name for an 8 year old girls softball team, maybe.
You make a good point but I'd imagine it's because they wear yellow.
Do canaries twitter?

Nice highlights there great stuff from Wes and a wicked shot from Brady
however Sunderland may not be a great yardstick.
Another positive is O'Shea was not playing!!
Hoolahan just equalised against Everton in the first minute of the second half following a Brady corner. If they had been down 0-4 or 0-5 at half time it would have been a fairer reflection, typical Everton though not putting games to bed. Coleman started for Everton, no McCarthy but Cleverley as opposed to Gibson seems to be the go to guy as a replacement.
Norwich should be in front after a bit of Hoolahan magic set up Jerome for a sitter but he put it over. That's what happens when you have a Championship striker playing PL football I guess! Pure class from Hoolahan who's mixed the outstanding with the sloppy in the second half.
Gibbo enters with sixteen minutes remaining.
Yea that was shocking miss!

Great work by Wes though.
I suppose in his defence he did have players and keeper in front of him, and it is on the up
bounce when he hits it, there are not many players who have not put one over the bar from that distance!
Indeed Jerome is in good company!!

Second one is a real shocker!
But you will have to watch it on youtube.
Christ! Some game at Carrow Road. Both teams producing absolutely kamikaze football, so little quality but so much entertainment. Hoolahan had a lovely assist and scored a penalty to put Norwich 3-1 up. They had a shocking twenty minutes then where they pretty much gifted, an up until then rudderless, Liverpool three goals. Hoolahan, Redmond and Naismith were all bizarrely replaced so it look pretty unlikely they'd create an equaliser, but up pops Bassong of all players to score from the edge of the box two minutes into injury time. Klopp had been giving out about the allocated five minutes injury time but Lallana won it in the last minutes after a really terrible header from Brady I'm afraid. All he had to do was put it out for a corner, which would have been the easier thing to do as well, but inexplicably he headed it on the turn to put it right back into the middle of the box to Lallana. Brady had an excellent first half though.
I think it's safe to say Stephen Ward would have put it out for a corner, just a thought.
Yeah. I saw the second half only and Brady had a nightmare defensively. He gifted Liverpool their 4th and 5th goals. The header wasn't as bad as the back pass in my opinion but it was still just a clear sign that he's a novice in that position. Never ever put it back in the danger area. Apparently Hoolohan and Brady had excellent first halfs and Holloahans assist was a beauty pass. Norwich slipping into trouble though which is a worry for us.
I wonder if Wes is related to the nurse on M*A*S*H*?
Yeah SkStu... Brady was excellent in the first half, defensively as well to be fair, he blew Clyne away with a shoulder at one stage. Hoolahan was good too alright, the assist was a typical bit of Hoolahan vision in a tight area. It was Howson that messed up for Liverpool's fourth, thank God that wasn't Brady as as well, it really would have been horror show.
The back pass was Howson? Really? Could've sworn it was Brady.
It was actually Russell Martin! I thought he was consoling Howson but maybe it was the other way around. It wasn't Brady anyway which is the main thing!
It was a horror show, Klopp on his own was enough of a horror show and I only watched the 5 minutes of added on time.
But the madness of Klopp was trumped by Norwich losing their focus with over-celebrating the salvaging of a mere point as if they had actually survived the drop. Then Brady capped all that by heading the ball back into the centre of a crowded box.
And Klopp? he needs to chew on some gum during the game and pick up an obsessive hobby, like elaborately do the timekeeping with a stop watch, follow in the footsteps of a master.
Liverpool were a complete mess indeed. And I really have NOT been impressed by Klopp anytime I've seen him. It's like watching someone with really bad Tourette's.
I enjoy his interviews but he can let himself down on the sideline I think. It was a dramatic way to win a game no doubt, but shirts ripped off, broken glasses and Klopp doing a Mourinho down the sideline? Come on! If anything it should have been more relief than euphoria.
I like it. Reminds me that it doesn't matter who you are or what team it is, get a last-minute winner in an enthralling game of crazy ball and all bets are off. As it should be really.Quote:

But then Klopp would pass for normal in Derry, wouldn't he?
I put a 10p bet Norwich to win at 100-1 in extra time, I was only messing around, thought my luck was in when Norwich scored
but unfortunately Liverpool got the next.
Was a crazy game, especially Norwich defending.
Naismith had a great game, got an assist from Wes, he is crafty little devil, he did a similar move v Ireland, except he dragged our defence all over the place on that occasion.
Also backed Southampton at 9/2, and West Ham at 4-1, that nearly came off too. Was thinking of just doing Long for the Southampton goal
but thought the better of it, we all know he can't finish :p
Tricky, you've been warned before about posting about bets in this forum. Next time you can have a week off to think about what you did.
I don't know, I like Klopp overall but some of the stuff seems a little forced. The engagement with the Kop after the West Brom draw was cringing stuff. No doubt emotions were high with the way they won yesterday, but there's been dramatic winners in cup finals with less hysteria.Quote:

No Brady in the Norwich squad tonight, there was nothing in the team news about him being injured I don't think, but presumably he is. Hoolahan dropped to the bench also after his goal and assist against Liverpool and, as usual when they drop Wessi, it's not working out too great for them. 0-2.
out sick according to this: https://twitter.com/PremierInjuries/...32657720905728

Update: Robbie Brady - Illness Expected Return Date 06-02-2016 Status: 75%
Thanks for the update tets - I came on here to find out why Brady missed his first league match of the season. Norwich dangerously close to dropping into the relegation zone - If Newcastle beat Everton tomorrow then Norwich will drop to 18th.
Norwich slipped into the relegation places last night after Fabio Borini's late equaliser for Sunderland against Crystal Palace. They have a massive game at Swansea at the weekend now.
Robbie Brady lost two teeth after accidentally clashing with teammate Gary O'Neill.
Hoolahan seemed to be at the centre of things as Norwich made a spirited effort at getting something out of the game in the second half. A nice assist to add to his collection too.
Today's The Times (subscription only) has a picture capturing both teeth in mid-air leaving Brady's mouth.
Definitely one of those times when Robbie can say... "you should see the other guy!"

That's gruesome stuff, but compelling viewing at the same time.
He handled it well. If that were me I'd be rolling around on the ground screaming 'my teeth, my beautiful teeth!!'
He would have done but he couldn't do it through Gritted Teeth so he just wouldn't get the same level of satisfaction !Quote:

Didn't turn out to well for them today.
A six pointer which went the wrong way.
Brady went off at half time and Hoolahan came on later in the second half but the lost both halves.
Norwich look to be in big trouble to me.
Yeah, hard to see where they're going to get the points they need. That Watford home game is a must win for sure and just pray that the other two struggle to pick up results. Newcastle appear to have the most favourable run-in of the three.
Sunderland salvage a point with a last minute penalty. Newcastle win after Palace miss a penalty.
Looks like Norwich are going down barring some turn of momentum.
Hoolahan starts today against Arsenal.
