Norwich City FC


What do you think of Norwich being presented as a kind of Joke team in this movie, and do you think that now Norwich are back the the Premiership that it has kind of lost some of the joke effect?

reply

Na i think the idea of the joke is the f.a and norwich arent bad the cup in mike bassett is basically the carling cup

reply

The joke's the bus ride, which I found very funny.

Co canaries!

It was probably based on Bobby Robson who managed Ipswich for many years, the other East Anglian place, with a succesful team, that no-one has ever been to.

I'm more annoyed that Leicester lost to them in the Mr. Clutch Cup.

Leicester fan here, we lost to Norwich as recently as 2007, and lost in the 1965 and 1999 League Cup finals. :P

We probably would have lost to Norwich when this film came out too, do you remember just how bad we were in 2001/02?

reply

it's a joke now that Norwich are now in League, where Leicester have just come from...

Shame really, I actually like Norwich, have met quite a few of there fans over the years


Wonder what Delia 'Lets be avin you' Smith thinks of there current predicament

reply

Their fortunes have turned for the better since you wrote this.Running away with the league now.They'll soon be a Championship side again and with crowds like they get,it's well deserved.

reply

First game of the season 2 fans threw there season tickets away, got served with banning orders after got beat 7-1 off Colchester and ended up winning the League...you couldn't make it up

reply

It's not making Norwich a joke team. I think it's just saying Norwich is a second tier team. I cheer for Norwich and I thought it was great they were in the film.
