The Along Come Norwich Podcast

Jon & Tom cover a huge week at NCFC Towers, including Jonny Rowe, Oxford (A), Idah, Stevenage (H), new signings, outgoings, guarantees for Blackburn (H) and, of course the Delia & Michael news.

Connor, Punt & Tom look back at a summer of change (albeit not as much as we thought) and preview the new season - giving guarantees for Oxford (a). "If you hurry through long days, you will hurry through short years".

Jon, Edie, Ben & Tom say farewell to personnel on and off the pitch, the playoffs, Wembley, players (most of the defence), and guarantee who the next head coach will be. It will be an interesting summer...

Edie, Jon & Tom look ahead to Leeds (h) & (a), discuss Wagner's future, and engage in some early speculation on squad refreshing as the window hurtles towards its grand opening. But for which league will we be recruiting? (We think we know).

What a week. Ffion joins Jon & Tom to chat Them, Wednesday, PNE and offer some run-in and POTS guarantees. 6 games to go for the finest football club in the world.

Connor joins Tom & Jon to preview a rather sizeable game in East Anglia and look at what we might expect to haul in points wise over the final 6 games.

Jon & Tom chat about #BooGate and look back on the fantastic results but bonkers vibes of the last 10 days of #ncfc. We chat Carlos Cuesta, guarantee the result(s) against Blackburn and preview a March full of must-wins.

Clare joins Jon & Tom to reflect on a very positive Coventry result a prideful showing against Liverpool (in some people's eyes) and work out if it's safe to feel positive yet?

Tom & Jon are joined by McG as they look back over 3 games against promotion race rivals (6 points from 9, who saw it coming), and look ahead to this weekend's FA Cup triumph over lowly struggling Liverpool.

Welcome back to City 'Til We Die!  Illness has prevented us (Ben) from content recently so there's plenty to catch up on.  The agenda: 14 Years, going round in circles, 2023 (sorry) and winning not being good enough (yup.)

Punt & Tom round off the year looking back on a derby of anxiousness and pride, the Wagner conundrum, the sense of drift, the inertia, the renewals, the attendances, Knapper's audit. And if the Grant Holt spares us and the broads don't rise we'll be back to do it all again after Christmas.

Tom & Jon discuss Watford (A) and a little bit of QPR (H) through the considered lens of WHY HASN'T KNAPPER MADE A MANAGERIAL CHANGE YET?

City 'Til We Die returns following a Norwich City win...  Watch out for the flying pigs!  Ben & George return to discuss Stuart Webber's legacy, a legacy which Ben Knapper will have his work cut out in... restoring? complimenting? ignoring? Who knows.

Ffion, McG, Jon & Tom discuss Knapper's early start, Wagner's last game(s), and the rollercoaster of NCFC experience that for many is currently set to apathy...

Ben debuts our new podcast, City 'Til We Die, alongside the Pink Un's Connor Southwell and George Wilson.

Tom & Jon reflect on a split between fans that see things to be positive about and those ready to turn the page on David Wagner. There's a new sporting director, but same old inconsistent Nodge.

Norwich are unbeaten, the boys are feeling positive, we've got guarantees for Rotherham (a), risky real time transfer deadline coverage and a few listener questions. Features the first conker chat in over 120 episodes.

Jon and ACN debutant Ben Ambrose are joined by Norwich City Women's first teamers Alice Parker and Megan Todd to discussion the season ahead, a new head coach, fresh faces and Lionesses

Praise for the new boys, the atmosphere, the hardness, the bastardness. What's this, confidence going into an away game against one of the pre-season favourites? That'll never do. Enjoy our optimism whilst it lasts, we are!

Tom, Jon & Edie are back to share their unrivalled excitement and enthusiasm for the new canaries season, and give unparalleled insights such as comparing NCFC's prospects to trapped air leaving a bloated corpse.

Jon, Tom & Paul discuss the good, the bad, the ugly of 2022/23 for Norwich City Football Club, and offer some thoughts on the way the sporting director handled his media day to round off a forgettable season.

The goals, the promotions, the titles, the memories, the man. Hannah, Tom, Edie & Jon recall some of the reasons there might be a bit of dust knocking about the old carra on Monday.

It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times. Well, for a while anyway. Connor does some proper analysis, McG offers some excellent insight. Rent a gob Tom mouths off and Punt peppers the pod with listener questions.

4 points away from the playoffs and 4 games since we won - anticlimax anyone? We cover Pukki's contract, Wagner's report card, summer kitty (or lack of), entitled norwich fans, listener questions and guarantees for Great Friday...

#ncfc are 1 positive result away from a playoff spot with only 8 games to go. Why does it feel like we're reversing towards the end of the season? The Athletic's Michael Bailey joins us to talk about inconsistency, the 3 mega games coming up, Angus, Kenny&Gabby and a quieter summer ahead than most fans will accept...

Edie, Tom & Jon talk about the great run #ncfc are on and look ahead to a couple of testing fixtures on the horizon, with Sunderland looking to regain form and Huddersfield scrapping for their lives.

Jon and Tom discuss a very satisfying performance against Hull, 3 wins from 5 (or is it 6?) and reflect on how much may be changing at all levels of the football club in the months to come.

Ffion joins the boys to relive an incredible league debut for Wagner at Deepdale on Saturday. There's the preview of the Coventry game and some listener questions thrown in as always.

Jon & Tom react to the news that Wagner and Buhler are joining Norwich City as head coach and assistant (probably). We look at the pros and cons and consider whether the bigger problem than getting up will be recruiting the right players to stay in the PL.

We react to the news that Deano/Deanie/Deansgate has left the club and we're in our second managerial search in as many years. Who's next, who don't we want, what the hell's going on out there?

It's beginning to look a lot like Smithmas, not likely to have a corner flag this side of Luton(a) so Connor, Maddie, Tom & Jon reflect on the awful atmosphere and unfortunately how it's likely to get worse, we talk unlikely managerial candidates and try and find a bright side before Crimbo.

Edie, Jon & Tom reflect on another positive start and underwhelming finish against Middlesbrough, we talk about the future, take listener questions about sacking Smith, Webber's decision making and more.

Hannah, Jon & Tom review Norwich's last 2 games (Stoke, QPR) and weigh up if we've learned much about Dean Smith's team that we didn't already know. Some guarantees are given for the upcoming Rotherham game, eventually.

Tom & Jon weigh up the possibility of the club taking a brave, if seemingly obvious decision to change the manager ahead of the world cup break. We chat through potential replacements and what else could be done to turn around the gaping hole where the love-in between club and fans used to be.

Connor from the Pink Un joins us to try and put his finger on the solutions to the apathy surrounding the club at the moment, along with some guarantees for the Sheffield United game.

It's a busy a month ahead with 24 points to play for - Clare & McG join the boys to look ahead to a packed 5 weeks, with 4 home games + 4 away games which will show us what #ncfc are really made of. Also, how come being 2nd in the league isn't enough for some people...?

The boys rate the #ncfc players on their performances so far after a hectic 9-games-in-5-weeks schedule. We might have forgotten some, we didn't get round to giving Dean Smith a mark either. We also guarantee what will happen on Saturday, so go and lump your cash on the opposite outcomes.

Zoë, Jon and Tom chat Wigan, Hull, a bit of Cardiff, some Birmingham, panenkas, Sørensen, Gibbs, it's a Norwich podcast, what do you expect really. It's the 100th one. We've not got the hang of it yet.

Marcelino Nunez is Chilean football expert Adam Brandon's favourite player, and Norwich City have signed him, so here's a podcast where we ask Adam Brandon why we should all be so excited. We also review the Cardiff disappointment and make some guarantees for the upcoming Wigan game.

SEASON PREVIEW TIME - We won a place in the championship! Clare, Lawny and Tom are chatting XI for Cardiff, Pre Season Wrap Up and make some guarantees for the upcoming season that you can count on definitely happening, yup.

Its done. Bye bye premier league. Edie & MattMcG spend some quality time with Jon & Tom discussing this week's investment buzz, last week's webber interview, where the squad needs most work and of course your listener Qs.

Edie, Jon & Tom consider whether the endgame for a certain sporting director is upon us...

Clare & Hannah join the resident nodgecasters Tom & Punt to chat Burnley wins, POTS outsiders and United predictions. We also reflect on the hostility that Michael (and mostly Delia) received on social media during the barren run before the last two unbeaten results.

Edie, Jon & Tom preview Brighton(a) and predict how many points this shower end up with at the end of the season.

ClarebearThomas joins PuntNParsley to chat Palace & City, a bit of drumming and a whole bunch of hope. Which yes, we know, is what kills you.

Zoe & Colo join the boys to talk about the amazing feeling of a win, recounting the atmosphere, idolising Idah, loving it off the bottom and preview the impending Watford game

Matthew & Edie join the Nodgecasters to reflect on the latest run, well, jog, of performances and comment on the existential crisis happening at a club just 4 points from safety.

Welcome to the Along Come Norwich Christmas Special 2021, there's not been that much footy lately so we bring you a double helping of the quiz and two of the jolliest Nodge chatters in the ACN stable / manger. Merry Christmas from all at ACN towers x

Edie joins the boys (for 2 / 3rds of the to chat until technical gremlins robbed her informed opinions from us) to work out if it's the end of the world, too early to tell or somewhere in between.

BRING YOUR SCARVES AND COLOUR AND NOISE ON SATURDAY. Ffion joins the boys to chat Arsenal and selection choices for the Watford.

Zoe & Maddie join us to reflect on the Leicester performance & the transfer window, hopefully both will still seem brilliant in a few months time when a handful of context and bucket of hindsight are poured on them. See you after the international break.

Jon & Tom are joined by Lawny & Ffion to chat Liverpool defeat, who (if anyone) deserves the most praise from a 3-0 loss, where to draw the line with chanting and also we look ahead to Man City with no trepidation at all...

For our season preview pod we are joined by Hannah & Edie to approve the transfer window so far, lament a lack of CDM and make the usual outlandish predictions for the season to come. Plus Edie introduces the science of blinking in transfer success.

We gather for an impromptu summer chat about the less than tasteful choice of new shirt sponsor, joined by the always excellent Zoe & Edie who make some points that sum up how so many are feeling tonight.

7 points clear at the top of the league, on the back of a 4 game winning streak. Jon & Tom are joined by Karen & Matthew to preview the run in, address a bumper mail bag and cover Matthew's excellent article about the state of football effecting that lot down the road.

There are 18 games and 54 points left, and Norwich are only SECOND?! We talk about whether Brentford deserve the trophy to be awarded already, review the Swansea disappointment, ponder on whether if we lost Emi we'd even still be in the football league pyramid, Andre Wisdom pops up thrice, we predict the Stoke game and wrangle some cracking listener Qs. Enjoy!

Jon & Tom chat all things nodge with Zoe, matchday programme legend & norwich city history book author, and Dan also returns, former head of content at NCFC & did some writing for that book too. We cover the new gambling sponsorship ban, the cup exit, the boro millwall & swansea games, theres the quiz, a player of the season update, and stay tuned for garden centre chat.

We also chat about the Luton defeat and how we're top of the league so it doesn't matter.

Jon & Tom chat TOP OF THE TABLE NCFC, what a pair of back to back wins. A fair few injuries and goodness knows what's in store whilst we wait for everyone to get back. A little extra in between guests to keep you warm now the weather's turned. Enjoy.

"Malky Couldn't Pass Water" ACN Pod 59 by Along Come Norwich

We're back, this time with South American based football expert-type Adam Brandon, who returns for his second ACN pod appearance. Jon and Maddie weigh up who they'd rather keep, Todd or Emi, and we answer some fantastic mailbag conundrums.

We welcome a couple of proper journalists; The Times' Hannah Shaddock & The Guardian's Paul Macinnes to the pod, so we're on our best behaviour as we discuss the Godfrey speculation, Todd & Emi's potential toy/pram exit, how alarmed should we be by the Bournemouth defeat, who is City's Jenga piece and the ACN quiz returns with a vengeance.

Paddy Davitt joins the boys to review a season of fine margins and gaping chasms, give his transfer insights on what will be a short summer, and look positively ahead to the new campaign. Thank you for listening this season and hopefully there are a lot more wins to talk about in the coming months. If you'd be kind enough to leave us a rating and a review using your podcast-unit of choice we'd real 'preciate it.

Nick, Maddie and Terri are back with the flag squad pod after a bit of time off, and there's not much to talk about except the wider collapse of Norwich City, football and wider civilisation as we know it.

Tom chats with Iwan from Manchester United podcast Red Voices about who in their xi might give NCFC fans some hope going into Saturday night's quarter final.

Tom & Jon share a working from home lunchtime with Michael Bailey, discussing Norwich's return to action on Friday night against Southampton at Carrow Road. We predict who will go down, and Archie Bailey makes his ACN pod debut.

We spent a lunchbreak with Zoe Ward a couple of days before Project Restart of the Premier League got underway. Zoe is one of the three executive committee members tasked with steering the finest football club in the world through these upside down times. We covered everything from COVID19, transfer windows, agents, buying James Maddison with 90 seconds to spare, club statues(maybe), Netflix documentaries(a hard no).

In this edition, the team talk about the first players they loved, the other clubs they like for some reason, PornHub, a certain sweary Scottish Norwich Player's alcohol choices, Tizer and the annoyance that comes from seeing the still prevailing myths regarding women going to the football.

Welcome to a new podcast from the ACN family - The Flag Squad introduce themselves, talk about how they came to spend 3 hours pre-game laying out fabric attached to plastic sticks in the Barclay and away day memories.

The Along Come Norwich boys see if they can work out a fair way to end the Premier League season (they can't) and then see if they can beat 4 listeners in the quiz (they can't). A little something to accompany your stare out of the window or your commute to the frontline. If its the latter, we thank you x

Norwich City's goalkeeping coach talks the ACN boys through his dual skills as a taxi driver, where he'd most like to fight Paul Lambert, and why we're so bad at defending corners.

The gents are joined by away stalwart and professional anti-nastyperson Matt McGregor to look ahead to the FA Cup 5th round tie between the Nodgers and the Hotspurs. We tackle racism, horse sized canary fights and there's double tie-break "drama" in the quiz.

The boys discuss Liverpool's visit to FCR, Tettey's contract extension, our prospects in the FA Cup tie against Spurs, debate whether orange juice with bits in is more affable than Jurgen Klopp and of course round off with the quiz.

Adam Brandon off of Santiago joins the ACN nodgecasters as we dissect (in the mildest sense of the word, punditry wise) 2 wins from the last 3 and look ahead to the potential of staying in the promised land. Adam tells a story about getting his tits out on TV and falling off a wall like Humpty Dumpty.

Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan. Dan, DAN, DAN, DAN, DAN, DAN, DAN, DAN joins the boys to discuss new signings, VAR, where it's all gone wrong, can it still go right (no), Who would go for the most cash, who should we sell in the summer, and Punt takes about 5 minutes to look something up on a smartphone, like an 87 year old cave man.
