And with Lewa on the way to Bayern the period of actual competition in the Bundesliga is over for a while once again.

How many losses at OT will it take for Moyes to be sacked? It's becoming an embarrassment for United now.
With the players they have, United should be playing better. Watching them playing recently makes me drowsy.

I'm liking the development of Ki sung yueng at Sunderland, though. He's coped well after some scandal with our former national team manager. Not sure why Swansea let him go on loan.

Edit: As I type this United scores 2 goals in second half so far after a very poor first half.

Every Liverpool fan I know seems to dislike Chelsea, not that I mind because I hate Chelsea.

Anyways can't wait until Bundesliga starts up next week. Monchengladbach will be a difficult away for Bayern.

As for United, who I watch from time to time, they had awful season especially at home so far but I still expect them to bounce back. If they don't they could be going down the route of AC Milan. I used to have sympathy for them but now I just watch them as a neutral after Park Ji Sung left.

Another crap performance against a poor Fulham side. Can't defend, can't score, can't do anything. Hughton will keep his job though because HE IS ONE OF THE NICEST GUYS IN FOOTBALL. Seriously, he could bend Delia over a table in front of MWJ and still be the manager of Norwich.

Well I felt sad when he was unfairly sacked at Newcastle. He hadn't done anything wrong then. I hope he keeps his job, he'll atleast make sure Norwich don't get relegated.

Not so sure about that mate.
I think Cardiff, Crystal Palace and Fulham will be relegated. Sunderland will somehow survive.
Norwich are also in danger though and the upcoming fixtures don't look very promising. 3 points at Cardiff next month will prove to be very helpful.

Basically Norwich have to get clear of the relegation zone before the last 4 games where they play Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal. This is one of the reasons Norwich fans are so worried about being just above the bottom 3, well that and a lot of awful performances.

Our CEO gave a radio interview the other day and reading between the lines it seems Hughton has been given a 2 game ultimatum. Lose against Hull and he'll go. Draw and he'll have to win against Newcastle I'd expect.

Whoa I didn't realise that. Getting any points off them might be difficult although you might get a lucky win at Old Trafford :P There's more important home games against Hull, Stoke, Sunderland, West Brom and away games to Cardiff, West Ham and Swansea. Norwich will have to win atleast 3 and draw the rest to be safe. They can't afford to give away 3 points to other relegation threatened sides.

What a great game!! Sunderland almost stole 3 points there. Definitely surviving.

We were 15 minutes away from breaking Barcelona's streak of 58 weeks at the top of La Liga but alas, we had to concede the first penalty since 2012 and stay level with them for the umpteenth week.

Worst news are that Madrid are now just 1 point behind us. I honestly hope we throw the Cup away because it's useless effort.

Norwich City FC ‏@NorwichCityFC 20m

City confirm transfer request from Irish international midfielder Wes Hoolahan has been rejected, statement here: http://po.st/HoolahanStatement

So he'll be gone before the window closes then. Clueless Chris continues to suck the identity out of the club BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE DEFENSIVE WINGERS.

I'm glad to see Real back in the title hunt after being however many points they were behind. I mean I know you hate them Went, but if Atlético weren't to win I'd want Real to because I simply can't stand Barcelona. Either way, a three horse race for once can only be good for Spanish football. Plus Ronaldo has been my favourite player since I was 7/8 so you know it's nice to see his team to do well.

Things are still rolling along nicely on the Karanka train, Jose's student has got us all the way up to ninth with a great run of form. Hopefully the gifts Jose has granted us (Omeruo and Chalobah on loan) can take us even further.

I read an article about one of the players saying that 'Hughton out' signs spurred Norwich on to play better so maybe this will be the turnaround you're looking for -Lapras-.

From what I've heard and read Omeruo is set to have a big future, looks a good signing to me. Things are really on the up at Boro.

All I can do is hope for the best. Considering where we were 5 years ago it is amazing that it can still be doom and gloom whilst sitting 12th in the Premier League.

If Wes was to get sold I sure hope McNally and co have someone impressive lined up to replace him. Somebody like Hiroshi Kiyotake pls.
