Roeder defends Huckerby decision
Glenn Roeder has made a vigorous defence over the way he handled Darren Huckerby's controversial departure from Carrow Road. Huckerby was told on Tuesday morning - less than 48 hours after the season had ended - that his four-and-a-half-year reign as Norwich City's biggest star was over, leaving many fans angry that they had not been given the chance to give their hero a proper send-off.

In November few thought we could stay up
It might seem to some people slightly odd for a great club such as ours that after Saturday's game against QPR there were cheers and smiles to greet the achievement of safety in the Championship.

The things we’ll miss in summer
Summer's here and the time is right for. . . sitting in the back garden, actually. Weekends just won't be the same without those fortnightly trips around the country, admiring the passing traffic on motorways, being robbed at bun-point for a coffee and a cherry Bakewell - and then watching 90 minutes of pretty average footy before doing it all again on your return journey.

No way to treat a true City legend
How to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, in one easy step. I'm not talking about the game of two halves at Hillsborough last Sunday, but about Glenn Roeder's remarkable ability to generate a PR disaster from absolutely nothing.

Let's steer clear of final day disasters
And so it all comes down to the final 10 days of the season. Or rather, hopefully not. There can't be a single Norwich supporter who'd relish a trip to Hillsborough on Sunday week if City's survival is still in doubt come the final weekend of the campaign.

Final Word
Add goals and City have recipe for better season
Free from the threat of relegation, would Norwich City go out with a bit of a swagger and end a campaign to forget with a flourish? But, hey, why break the habit of a season? This game should have been done and dusted within the first half-hour.
