We Just Need Norwich To Blow Up (I Think)

Post by THEWELLERNUT70 » Fri Mar 29, 2019 9:41 pm

It's a strange anomaly but am I correct in thinking that whenever Burnley have been promoted to the Premier League Norwich City have been relegated and vice versa ?

No we want Norwich to go up - along with Sheff U... with Leeds missing out.

But recent history dictates we then go down

I'm pretty confident in one not impacting the other.

I’m with you Weller. I live in Norwich and the last time were in the same division was when they went up from League One and we came down from the Prem. We’ve swapped places ever since.

Correct, they have.

But should we survive I want them, Sheff U, and Preston as the three promoted outfits. Three teams we can financially outmuscle and lack outstanding individuals in their squads. Perfect opposition.

Sadly something I know about all too well living in Suffolk. Superstitious as I am, this doesn’t bode well in my view!

Would love to be proved wrong!

I think in 2009 when we went up Norwich were relegated to the third tier. It is true that we have never played them in the Prem. As we came down to the second tier Norwich came back up to join us then went up to the Prem league in 2011 came down in 2014 as we went up and swopped with us in 2015 and again in 2016

Exactly that WN70.

Coyle was in charge last time we went Carrow Road and we have swapped Divisions every time since.

I too have had this in mind all season :roll:

If we go down and Norwich go up, it won’t be down to the pixies, it will be because we both deserved it.

Leeds blowing it will be a minor consolation of the worst happens.

My bad, I got picked up by Accy Clarets on the A17 in Lincolnshire just after an operation on my elbow so notdriving meant I was more into drink than normal :lol:

I seem to remember them equalising at the death when looking offside to all but the officials.

If you include Norwich being relegated to League One which they did in 2009 when we were promoted the first time.
