Not very confident are they? Perhaps they've got good reason. If we hit the ground running and are on it, this could get very messy for Norwich

I spent a lot of time in with the Norwich fans when I lived there and couldn't get to (what is for me the real) City. In my experience they are a good, friendly, knowledgeable lot who appreciate their football. Even the coppers came up to us and started chatting. The team usually don't try to kick you off the park either, which helps.
They really do not like the rags either and they beat them a lot when I was there (their Beating Bayern Period). I hope we win, and win handsomely, but I really want NCFC to stay up. It is a long trip from Manchester but the friendly locals, decent beer and pubs and (usually) an entertaining match make up for how bloody hard it is to get all the way over there.
You can't really blame them for their trepidation, can you? But football is a funny thing. It will need total concentration and commitment from our lads to get the three points, as it always does in the Premier League. Every team have got talented players, internationals even, that can do you damage if you allow them to.

Many thanks for sharing the enjoyable quotes from the Canaries.
What an unsurprising coincidence that we have Robert Madley & Mick McDonough, as ref & 1st ass... The same incompetent officials that helped West Ham to defeat City... So, I'll be watching every ref & linesman call and hoping that they don't purposely screw City over, today!

I like Niteich and I've liked playing them ever since John Bond joined us and we beat them twice at Maune Road that season in cup and league, scoring ten.
Their fans seem decent too, had a chat with one after we scored six there towards the end of Roberto's title season. It still seemed too late at the time, but he sportingly said we would have won the league if we'd had Tevez all season.

Always liked Norwich. I was a kid but that Jeremy Goss goal is still imprinted in my memory.
