Just 4 remaining from the team of 3 years ago, and it looks as though JT needs a fresh club to restart his career. I still believe that Jacob Sørensen, given a good run in the team, playing to his strengths and remaining injury free, can be massive for us. But he needs to show it now.
3 years today.
This #NCFC line-up got absolutely pumped at home by Dean Smith's Villa.
That was probably the day Stuart Webber made a note in his diary of possible future Canaries managers..

That moment of realisation…
Hang on a damn second. You’re telling me that the chicken who crossed the road was KILLED and went to “the other side??” THATS THE JOKE? All these years I thought that little fucker was just crossing the road.

Brilliant
During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes.
Does anybody know if this service is still available and, if so, do you have to book it?

Does the fact that so many people are looking to purchase Thames Water, with such an awful record on delivery and environmental protection, with huge amounts of debt and an aim to massively raise bills, mean that there is yet more value to be stripped from the utility into the private sector?

The water firm has reportedly received multiple bids as it faces running out of money next year.

Great assessment and showing what we have in the squad if they are (mostly) available. Onel = Chaos…. Give that man a new contract, and make it clear that he is an impact sub, but what an option to have. “If Onel doesn’t know what he’s going to do, how do the opposition?”
🟢🟡 Chaos theory prevails as City find a way when there didn't look to be one.

10 goals in 2 games. A young forward getting the rewards for a lot of hard work. Re-introduction of several injured players. Some great cameos from the bench and Borja adding to his value for this season and the inevitable future sale. Pretty good week in NR1. #NCFC #OTBC

Part-rant and part musing, will be a thread. Firstly, this is very good news even if the drug itself, Benralizumab, is in early clinical stages and as a monoclonal is tricky to manufacture and will most likely be challenged by biosimilars. And the asthma charity quoted clearly does great work. 🧵 1/n
First new asthma attack treatment in 50 years
Around two million asthma and COPD attacks each year could be treated with the drug, a study suggests.

All teams have to start somewhere, all teams have to take stock of their performances to see where they can improve. Yes, a long way to go, but there are always, always, positives to take from a game like this - the wickets taken, the fielding, the dot balls faced, the additional experience.

Millions of us valued Twitter/X at times of breaking news. It was a way to get info, fast.

That value has been shattered by misinformation & a destructive algorithm.

We can now make Bluesky the go-to platform for news. Here's a list of (verified) journalists to keep up with UK breaking news.

Brilliant quiz. Highly specialised but brilliant all the same.

I’m quite happy with 43 from this, even if most of the ones I know are shite. There’s some good names hidden deep in the list, I had a very long deep conversation about Bob Vylan with a bloke my age with a pink beard at Truck, and Soft Play are absolutely superb.

Priorities for Norwich City?
- Recruit for first team & Academy?
- Promotion?
- Improve facilities?
- Player development & sale?
- Break even?
- Expand stadium?

IMO: none of these: priority is to keep the squad healthy, stop getting injuries and not recruit injury-prone players.

People use social media for many reasons. Some just like pictures of cats, some only want to engage with things they like, some think is a news outlet, some want to share their worldview. All types are valid, no need to criticise because people don’t use it in the same way you do.
