Racism through the roof. Domestic abuse through the roof. Vandalism through the roof. All neanderthals… and the saddest part is that they feel more enabled than ever because of events over the last 5 years.

If the BBC had put even half this much effort into analysing the effects Brexit would have on everybody as they have on the death of Prince Philip, we might not be in such a bloody mess as a nation. 😙.

Even as a Norwich fan I share your despair at all this. It does have an air of ‘punish Leeds cos it’s Leeds’. I thought it was all rather funny and harmless, so to see it still being discussed in terms like this baffles me. Make some jokes, small fine for Bielsa, case closed 👍.
Just gets more ludicrous by the day this spying nonsense. No other club could elicit such an overreaction. Now we have Stuart "Psycho" Pearce feigning outrage and demanding the 'punishment fit the crime' - what crime is that then you absolute plank? #lufc.

Gove was given an easy ride on the BBC this morning. Meanwhile, Kay Burley on Sky News is making him look the fool we all know he is. Levels.

Sacking Farke feels like putting your much-loved but in-pain pet to sleep. You’re incredibly sad but you know it’s the right thing to do. That’s the best analogy I can come up with. #ncfc.

So Buendia looks likely to leave and now some fans think ‘he’s not that good’. Utterly bizarre. One of the most gifted footballers to ever grace Carrow Road. #ncfc.

Two things strike me. 1) it's relatively fair. 2) that team would get relegated from the PL.
The official EFL Team of the Season has been revealed!. Thoughts? 🤔

I’m beginning to reach the point where I’d be satisfied if #ncfc made a stand against this and just refuse to play any more games. Let them relegate us. Why should we, and other clubs, put players and staff (and their families) in danger? I’d like to think others would follow.

Quite peeved at the lack of respect some fans are showing to Ashley Barnes. He's spent 7 of the last 9 seasons playing regularly in the Prem Lge (& doing a good job) & the other two seasons he was part of title winning Championship teams. The guy is a warrior - just what we need.

I don’t want Johnson as PM. I don’t want Corbyn. I don’t want Swinson either. No. I think we should take Obama on a year-long loan with a view to a permanent transfer. I’d like that.

I’d happily keep him IF he goes back to his tried & trusted formation, trusts his philosophy & tells his players to concentrate on playing our game & stop focussing on the opponent. Attack them; no-fear Farkeball. If we lose, so be it. If we go down, so be it. But do it our way.
I've seen a lot of people saying #NCFC shouldn't sack Farke because he's on a 4-year contract and the pay of is sizeable. We've also spent £16 million on Tzolis & Rashica to leave on the bench, so it depends what you think is a more foolish use of cash.

I’m watching Brentford cause Liverpool no end of problems and I’m feeling angry. Angry because less than two years ago, #ncfc totally dominated Brentford at Carrow Road; and you look at our paths since then… I’m angry at what we’ve become. It’s happened quickly & at great cost.

Getting this in early but just a quick reminder to people who will no doubt lose their shit tonight if #ncfc lose to the side top of the table: we haven’t lost away from home since August 18 last year. We’re still in the mix for promotion whatever the result tonight. Be proud. 👍.

If this is what the Plymouth manager is complaining about then he probably needs to see a replay. It’s a massive and blatant dive.

Just 18 months or so ago we totally outclassed Brentford at Carrow Road (Buendia scored). Since then, despite having similar financial constraints, we’ve made a total mess of things and they’ve never looked back. Easy to see why #ncfc fans are so frustrated.

He won’t play Gilmour. He’s made a scapegoat of Giannoulis (who’s been pretty decent bar a couple of mistakes). He won’t pick Tzolis. I still think its blindingly obvious he’s fallen out with Cantwell. He has no idea about Rashica’s strengths. He ain’t half making a mess of this.

Quick summary of MOTD2s coverage of our game last night: . Arsenal this; Arsenal that; Arsenal bad, Arsenal poor; Arsenal rubbish; Arsenal sad; Arsenal Arsenal Arsenal; more Arsenal; angry at Arsenal; shame for Arsenal. But Norwich played well no?. Yeah. 🤷♂️ #ncfc.

Playing lads like Maddison, Godfrey or Middleton is more likely to get me to renew my season ticket than Whittaker, Bassong & Lafferty #ncfc.

No idea if it’s ever been suggested before, but a statue of Justin Fashanu celebrating ‘that’ goal, perhaps with rainbow laces incorporated into his boots? He represents more than just football, would be a nice idea I think. #ncfc

I don’t know if it’s possible, but Attanasio HAS to back JHT (via Knapper) financially in the market because he is clearly the real deal as a coach.

I’ve got to tip my hat to Farke and the lads on the pitch. In the summer I really thought he’d lost his mojo/desire to be here but he, along with the players - under immense pressure due to congestion, injuries and fan demands - have been absolutely brilliant. #ncfc 👏👏👏.

Remember that time when Chris Hughton agreed a combined fee of around £13m for Van Dijk and Alderweireld? That’d have been good. We ended up with Joseph Yobo. #ncfc.

Dean Smith's tactics at #ncfc:. Kick the ball long towards Teemu Pukki. If that doesn't work throw on Onel Hernandez. That's it.

No issue with Ipswich fans taking the piss. They’re our rivals. We just got relegated & humiliated. It’s what they’re supposed to do. Just so long as they acknowledge they are so shit it makes us look like Liverpool in comparison & that we are light years ahead of them. #ncfc.

Finally got around to listening to the ‘controversial’ Webber interview. My conclusion. STOP FINDING OFFENCE IN EVERYTHING YOU SEE OR HEAR!! You wanted open and honest and you’ve got it. You can’t go running to mummy when you don’t hear what you want to hear. #ncfc.

Ok, so my main takeaway from that is this: JHT is a good coach.

According to Leeds fans, clubs like Norwich are greedy and ruining football. Apparently, it’s unfair that Norwich want to complete the season by, you know, actually playing the remaining games. It’s also fair that Leeds go up with ten games to go. #ncfc.

So much crap being spouted about Pukki. I think I'm right in saying he's 4th in the Championship this season for goal involvements which, given how horrendous we've played, is approaching miracle territory. As always with him: give him good service and he'll deliver. #ncfc.

Today #ncfc fans will be told we’re tinpot for having an open top bus, tinpot for not all being smashed at 9am, tinpot for not beating everyone up and tinpot cos Leeds would have had more fans at the parade. Oh, and we’re not allowed to take the piss out of our relegated rivals.

Interesting that the people who regularly watch 2.Bundesliga think that Marvin Ducksch would be a good signing for #ncfc, but Barry from Diss doesn't rate him and thinks he's the cheap option because he's never heard of him.

I just want to add to the CJ love-in that I bloody love Russell Martin too. I know it’s not cool to say that because he has struggled for a long time, but what a brilliant ambassador for the club - and he was a very good player for at least five years. Good luck at Rangers #ncfc.

I’m not replying to any more #ncfc fans tonight. The lack of perspective is winding me up. Look at what has been going on in football these last couple of days. And we’re moaning because we didn’t win the title tonight (but almost certainly still will)? Madness.

Maddison walks into this England team. He’d also be the best player.

Shearer wants consistency on the offsides where keepers views are ‘impeded’ yet he said #ncfc v Leicester was correctly ruled out yet the one last week and Villa’s yesterday should stand! Ours was the most contentious of the lot!! Some consistency from pundits would be nice too.

Let's not beat around the bush – that is a huge 3 points for #ncfc. Huddersfield aren't up to much and I can see them in a relegation battle, but today was all about the psychology and having suffered 12 straight defeats, a win was essential.

@bbclaurak It’s almost time to ditch Boris. Literally. Oh, and while we’re at it, let’s ditch Brexit completely and get back to being a (relatively) sane and (genuinely) cool country again. Perhaps ditch a few of the top brass at the Beeb too.

Are we not allowed to like Nelson Oliveira AND Cameron Jerome anymore? Both good players; both have a part to play @ #ncfc. Back them both 👍.

First time I’ve seen the new one and I seem to be in a minority but I thought #SpittingImage was pretty good. Some of the voices were a bit ‘off’ but lots of good lines and sketches. People forget but the original was hit and miss every week but didn’t spoil my enjoyment.

I've no idea if Allan Russell's a good coach (you'd hope he is baring in mind he worked with England), but the fact he spoke more sense in one presser than Smith did during 13 months is another indication of how football's moved on. We need a proper coach to take us forward again.

As great as Farke was for Norwich, let’s not forget how exceptional #ncfc was for him! Doubtful many clubs would have plucked him from Dortmund II and been as patient with him as he put his style in place. Will get a rousing reception whenever he returns. But it was time to go.

“Britain are the envy of the world.” There, in a nutshell, is the problem with Brexit - delusions of grandeur. We are not the envy of the world. We have made ourselves the laughing stock of the world. #bbcbreakfast.

The Cantwell absence, whether unfortunate or deliberate, is harming us. Likewise the Tzolis lack of game time. He tormented (a currently unbeaten) Bournemouth and was the brightest spark v Liv (cup) yet as soon as the pen is missed he’s had no mins. Questions to be asked. #ncfc.

I mentioned it a fair bit last season, but never underestimate just how much damage the Dean Smith reign did to #ncfc. Yes, we had a ‘mare end of last season under Wagner, but you can now see what he can do as a coach with time to implement his plan with players to suit.

Might put a bet on Swansea going up next season. Looked a bit like us last season - can see them really progressing under Potter.
