A non-Shakespeare related thread by request for Friday evening's fixture.

Sontelly, this one, so a chance for everyone to check out Lennon' eleven.

Play as they did at Charlton (the only game of Lennon's I've seen in full) and they've a chance. Norwich on an iffy run too - no win in five after a bright start - so arguably a good time to play them.

I'd be delighted with a point.

Can somebody please put "Norwich away" on the end of this so we've got some idea that it's actually supposed to be the match thread?

"From Horwich to Norwich" is much easier.

Agreed.

It's like trying to decipher binary code finding threads on here at times. It's becoming far too consumed itself.

I like football and beer. And boobs. So there.

Anyway, 1-1 I reckon.

Be a tough game, but Norwich are currently on a 5 game run winless run. This includes 2 draws and a defeat at home, and they've scored just twice in those five games.

We, on the other hand, seem buoyed by the new manager and we've scored 5 goals in 3 games. I think we may well take the game to them and get a win.

Can't wait for it, like. Gonna be watching it in Manchester with a mate after work. First time on Sky for over a year.

Carrow Road is one of my favourite grounds, great atmosphere and great viewing, pity I won't be there.

Won't even be in front of the tele, it's a bird!

I should know better.

Furthermore, this season they've only won 2 at home, drawing 4 and losing 1 - the 14th-best points haul. (They're third-best on the road: W4 D0 L2.)

They've taken the lead five times but lost it twice to draw – but on the other hand they're the best in the division at coming from behind: the opposition have scored first eight times, but they've come back to win three and draw two of those games, rescuing 11 points. #bouncebackability

Furthermore, at HT they've only been winning twice and drawing seven times, the 19th-best first-half record. So it naturally follows that they're good after the break, and indeed they're the division's best second-half team: W7 D4 L2.

Have I ever told you about when I was romatically involved with the Norwich Chairman's grand daughter?

Ahh, Pippa - where are you now?

Anyway, yes, the game. Will be more than happy with a scoring draw, happy with 0-0 and would explode if we got a win.

Win this and our climb up the league is on.

More importantly though I'd like to know all your thoughts on the pedestrianisation of Norwich City Centre.

Me, personally? I'm dead against it.
I'm not asking you to 'think outside the box' I just wish you'd have a rummage around in it once in a while.

Sublime to ridiculous Tango. The first one was too convoluted and this one is downright reactionary. There was a middle way you know.

Anyway .... hard match this, and I like yellow & green together, nice combo. I like the city and county there ..... & I reckon that Delia Smith is a dirty one.

I'd take a draw now if it was offered.

Certainly one of a certain age.

'Keep Norwich flowing'

Say no to pedestrianisation.

Speaking of which, I wonder if our Liam will get a start, liven things up a bit.
