Other than a back pass from Clichy across the goal mouth (simple touch) I am not really sure anything else as put in his general direction. He had that one touch around the post at the end of the first half that was far and away the most he was troubled.


At one stage in the first half about 35 mins or so the ball flew in across in front of him and he should have came for it but didn't. In truth he wasn't tested. Postman pat and his black and white cat could have played in goal today.

Yes, and it's not our biggest win SINCE the 6-0, it's our biggest win including that and many more years.

The 10-1 in 1987 was a league match, but not top flight and the 7-0 against Burnley in 1968.

Either one of these could be used as our biggest win SINCE (insert match here), but not a smaller win.

You are right, but since he is just starting I think we should give him that leeway.

Problem with Hart was he made a few mistake, but unfortunately for him all his mistakes lead to goals.

You can only beat whats in front of you but we seriously could have scored 12 today if we'd have been that bothered.

Nasri and Silva excellent, Ya Ya positive, and all 3 strikers scored. That combined with Chelsea's defeat ticked all the boxes for today.

Now we need to string a run together in the Prem Lge by beating Sunderland, Spurs and Swansea and then seeing where we stand.

You couldnt make any judgement on Pantilimon or the back 4 today, as they simply came under no pressure at all. Im confident I could have kept a clean sheet for us this afternoon. Hughton is a cert to be sacked by Monday.

I bow to your superior understanding of the footballing psyche and I stand humbly chastised and corrected.

Well done to you.

That was some thumping dealt out to Norwich today.Those twunts on motd will somehow manage to wrap it all into a 60 second segment towards the end of the show and then forget all about the beautiful football and focus the discussion on Joe Hart.

Unfortunately true.

It was a fantastic game today and I enjoyed how ruthless we were. This attitude should be carried forward in to 90% of our games. The remaining 10% is for the big guns and maybe a little more restraint will be needed.

As for MOTD, I don't expect much from them in terms of praise, but I do expect them to talk about the GK situation and the fact our starting XI had no English players.

In all matches(1st team, u21's, etc.) Norwich have conceded 19 goals this week and scored zero.
