Real Madrid are apparently about to sign Nuri Sahin. Dumb career move as he'll be turning from one of Dortmunds key players to a bench warmer at Madrid.

Wasn't it the Bernabeu or Villa Park?
Why leave German champions though? Out of contract?

Well done Norwich, and of all the teams looking in with a chance of going up they are the ones I will be hoping to stay up next year.

yeh,a great little club with no pretentions but a very loyal following (20000+ in the third tier) with sell out crowds every game.
Can't see them staying up but it's great to bask in the glory for one season at least ...

Both !

I was born & brought up in Great Yarmouth which is in the middle of nowhere and the closest Pro club was Norwich and my big brother took me to see The Canaries from about 1964ish when they were in the third division (south) or whatever so I was weaned on them but every kid in the area had a 'big club' to support and the first game I ever recall seeing on tv was Spurs v Leicester City in the FA Cup Final in 1961 as a young lad and was hooked on them from that moment.
My big brother and late dad were both Norwich & Arsenal fanatics...

it's different in most other parts of the country where you are not far from a 'big' club so the choice is easy...

So the whole country to choose from and you went for Saints?

yeh,just about the furthest team to follow - it use to be a six/seven hour trek to KR from the most easterly point in the UK !

my mum and eldest brother (born in 1939) were living in Great Yarmouth which was a front-line town for the german bombers and so were evacuated to Saint Helens (Pinfold Farm,Ecclestone) for the duration of the war.We re-visited the family she stayed with in the 60s and paid my first visit to the fair town and was hooked on the RL team from that moment.
Anyway,i'm glad she was evacuated to St Helens & not Workington,for example !!!!!

(not to mention W***n!)

The poor buggars! Fancy being sent from one bombsite to another.

Happy memories of holidays at Cherry Tree holiday park in Great Yarmouth. Ice creams on the front and Ripley's believe it or not.
