Norwich have looked better in recent weeks. I'm not optimistic. A draw means we'd probably need to get 5 more points than them from our remaining 7/8 games. Which is highly unlikely.

 

Go away from home...... and win. A must. A draw keeps us on life support, a win for Norwich kills us.

 

 

doesnt a draw leave us 3 points behind meaning we would need 4 more points than them? with a game in hand.

It's going to be very intriguing seeing what he does with the flanks for the next one. I expect our lot to be much more up for it, I think the point and situation from the weekend will provide a big psychological boost. Hopefully the Sissoko on the left experiment is done for home games (at the very least), he just doesn't look to have the qualities to play that side.

 

What I'm slightly encouraged by is that Sunderland are probably the worst sort of opponent for us - they defend deep, they're compact, they choke space and they've got 2 really physical players in front of an already big defence. Norwich don't have that, Swansea don't have that, Villa don't have that and neither do Palace. I expect us to compete much better in the middle of the park against them and, as they're more open sides, see more space to attack. We've got some decent technical ability in the team so I fancy us to match those teams much better and it'll be those sorts of matches where we see Benitez's tactics become more prevalent. This is far from done yet, like.

If you can't beat Norwich, you deserve to go down. It's a must win and anything less is a disgrace.

 

Does that include West Brom, Man City, West Ham, Southampton, Man United, Everton, Arsenal, Swansea, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Stoke, Sunderland and Villa? ;)

They were awful in the first half against West Brom. They have the same issues as us an Sunderland, can't score and lack creativity. It's honestly a toss up between the three teams. We have Rafa though, so I have some confidence.

He started plenty of games in the World Cup

 

That was two years ago, plenty has changed since then.

 

Maybe so, but you said 'he won't ever start'  when he already has plenty of times

 

Norwich are defensively much more solid than when we played them back in October but surely we can exploit a midfield with Gary O'Neil in there.

I quite clearly meant for the Euros, also not to meant be taken that literally tbh.

Smoke me a chorizo, I'll be back for breakfast.

 

Isn't chorizo already smoked?

 

Smoke me whatever the sausage is before it's chorizo, alright.

 

The original quote was "Smoke me a kipper...", which is likewise already smoked, so I reckon that's a decent Spanification tbh. :thup:

 

:milner:

Chorizo is not normally smoked. You can get a smoked one but its not that common. It does contain alot of smoked paprika though.

:lol: This is getting out of hand. I can categorically state that I am not an expert on smoking Spanish sausages.

Upon reading the wikipedia entry on chorizo I realise that Gorilla is right so Ian's original post was not only erudite and witty but also factually and technically correct.  I humbly apologise for my embarrassing lack of knowledge regarding Iberian meat delicacies.  I've let myself down and i've let the forum down.

 

On the kipper front, possibly Ace Rimmer enjoys them double smoked or encourages his colleagues to skin up dried smoked fish as a pre breakfast livener.

Don't beat yourself up, mate, we've all been there. :thup:

 

:lol: Imagine not knowing your chorizos.
