Some may say the running time of this week’s pod is too long, but it’s only 18% of the entire Godfather trilogy, so… Stay for @lyanrivermore.bsky.social’s superb hosting, Steve and I quizzing-off, and me arguing the case for making the penalty area smaller in Brad Hills to Die On. #ncfc

Podcast time! We talk about Blackburn, refereeing, the agony of throwing three points away, and how long youthful naivety can be forgiven. Plus a @lyanrivermore.bsky.social quiz classic! pod.fo/e/2b42e7

There’s an awful lot of discourse around why Jos Buttler doesn’t open the batting in ODIs anymore, which, I dunno, seems a bit odd for someone who has never opened the batting in ODIs??

Sorry to say we’re being all hopeful about Norwich again. #ncfc Plus: 🚜 We dig into the Farming Simulator review archives 🔫 @zoevfmorgan.bsky.social practices decisiveness in Gunn to the Head 😴 I bang on about midfield combinations yet a-bloody-gain 🙄 Steve still isn’t on Bluesky

🟢🟡 Norwich are peak midtable. What happens next? 🗣️ @danbrigham.bsky.social 💭 "When we’re good this season, we’re better than we were last season, and when we’re bad, we’re not as awful as we were." LINK: norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/2025/02/19/n...

If you were thinking you wanted to read a piece about Norwich City with absolutely nothing new to say but that does deliver a strong whiff of optimism about where the club is at, then this is the article for you! #ncfc

We ask the big questions in the latest #ncfc pod: 🟡 What’s the optimal number of games Sargent can miss per season so he’s good for us but no one bids for him? 🟡 Who wins a Championship mascot race? 🟡 What are people saying about Farming Simulator? 🟡 Can Norwich sneak into the top 6?

Please be patient with me, with us, with everyone. It’ll be okay guys, right? Sharp blades, expected dogs, Gunns to the head, and the price of height. No further context needed. #NCFC podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

Don’t let that magical, warming afterglow of Forson’s magic 4 minutes fade away just yet… First pod of 2025, with injury time mayhem, bye-bye Barnes, another oddball Farming Simulator 25 review and general good cheer with @zoevfmorgan.bsky.social and Steve Sanders #ncfc

This is an absolutely bizarre and enthralling story: the brewing magnate who has such strong views on what a pub should be that he would rather have his pubs closed than even allow someone to swear in them. www.theguardian.com/news/2024/de...

Merry Christmas #NCFC community on Bluesky! Steve won’t get this app as the blue clashes with his Christmas tree lights, but thank god @danbrigham.bsky.social and @zoevfmorgan.bsky.social are here to spread the festive joy after a difficult week. 💛🎄💚

Christmas pod! Sadly no Xmas cheer against Scott Parker’s gilet but lots of fun with @lyanrivermore.bsky.social’s quiz, another Farming Simulator review, and @zoevfmorgan.bsky.social shaming Steve’s Ipswich Christmas tree. #ncfc

Best home scorers vs best away defence today, but no idea what to expect from Norwich. If they’re fit enough then it feels like Nunez, Slimane and Marcondes have to start, with Nunez in the Kenny role. Just really want 3 points against Scott Parker’s gilet 🙏

10 goals, 6 points, and 1 big happy week. @lyanrivermore.bsky.social hosts, and Steve (still not on Bluesky but we’re trying) and I rabbit on. Plus, finally we’re giving the fans what they’ve been crying out for: genuine reviews of the game taking Carrow Road by storm, Farming Simulator. #ncfc

What’s the midfield 3 when everyone’s fit? Nunez, Kenny and Marcondes? Or Nunez, Kenny and Slimane?

England’s run rate here making it very difficult to be mean about Labuschagne scratching around like a no.11

Plymouth so bad but think we’ve seen tonight why we paid decent money for Crnac. Finally managed to get a fit, functioning midfield behind him and the potential seems clear.

Still no NCFC Numbers on Bluesky (unbelievable) so sharing this here. @chrisgoreham.bsky.social joins Steve, @lyanrivermore.bsky.social and I to talk goalkeeping, nice boys, Alex Neil and Kenny. And there’s a quiz! pod.fo/e/287857

Nightwatchman feels like the only natural role in the order Labuschagne has left

Great point, good fun, created the better chances, midfield looked fitter than pre-international break, never want to hear Andy Johnson making weird noises ever again

Not sure Test cricket gets better right now than Bumrah doing classic Bumrah things and Head doing classic Head things
