I wasn't sat in my usual seat for the opening game against Everton
in August.
New season. New signings. Re-newed optimism.
It took a whole six minutes of the game before three middle-aged men behind me began a barrage of relentless moaning for the next 80 minutes.
Houghton's s**t. Hoosun's s**t. Hoolyhan's s**t, That Wolfwinkle's s**t. Norwich is s**t. etc etc... Utterly astonishing with the amount of bile they were spouting. I got chatting to my next door neighbours who confirmed that they moan through every game good or bad, and have done ever since they've been sat there for the last few years (including League 1 and Champs seasons)!
Even when we pulled it back to 2-2, on and on they went with their berating. Then on 86 minutes they decided they'd seen enough and all got up to go, and decided as they were moving to the exit that it had been a good game and the result was about right.
I think there is something intrinsic in our DNA as supporters of any club to have a good whinge at football matches. It's certainly not unique to us only, but there are some very special examples to be found round Carrow Road, that's for sure.
