Episodes
"Twinkly Toes" ACN Pod 178
Connor Southwell joins us for an international break catch up. We bask in the glory of an amazing week in the fortunes of the Canaries, and think about where we still need to sure things up for a proper promotion push. Punt tries not to get carried away. We chat about Pukki. It's a good time to love Nodge.
"Brown Trousers" ACN Pod 177
We're marching up the table - Top half! We reflect on quite the turnaround and call out the players most deserving of praise. It's a lot of them, but not all...
"Ringrust" ACN Pod 176
We are rocketing up the table! Or we will if we keep scoring more than the other team. It's too early to think it's all fixed and the playoffs are back on, is it?
"If This Was France" ACN Pod 175
How are we here again? It's as the old saying goes, "Repeating the same mistakes and expecting a different outcome is a clear sign of still having Knapper as your sporting director". Something drastic needs to shock this season back into having a pulse.
"Cheers Michael" ACN Pod 174
It's not going to plan on the pitch, and we discuss what might need to change off it to buy Phil a bit more time and credit to get us back on the up. We lost an incredible human since we were last in your ears. Rest easy Michael, you'll be missed.
"X-ray vision" ACN Pod 174
We're closer to the drop zone than we'd expected to be. Let's all search for positives. Clare and Jon will have some right? Right?
"A Really Small Sample" ACN Pod 172
Two steps forward and one step back, even though that step back was against a really good team that will be in the promotion conversation all season, we won't let that kind of level headedness get in the way of our intended intro. Quick chat from us ahead of the Cup run continuing and 3 home points against Bolton. Probably.
"Go For The Jugular" ACN Pod 171
Nodge are up and down like a caffeinated kangaroo test-driving a trampoline. Some of us are coping with the inconsistency better than others. Some of us also had internet problems causing us to abandon an episode a few mins in - sorry for the less than graceful join, Punt was actually making one of his bi annual good points.
"Straight Outta The Blocks" ACN Pod 170
3 wins from 5, shame only 3 points to show for it - but what a performance. Is this the start of an unbeaten run and relentless momentum? We're willing to get hugely carried away after not learning our lesson!
"Ministry Of Silly Walks" ACN Pod 169
Should have been 3 points. Shouldn't have been a goal. Shouldn't already desperately need points away at Millwall. But we are where we are. Clare, Tom & Jon chat Nodge.
"Semantics" ACN Pod 168
It's the new season! We've already scored 4 goals at home and smashed through to the 2nd round of the league cup. We have great continuity and the greatest coach around. Welcome to another season preview that may look hopelessly over optimistic come May. Thank you for listening.
"Bummed It In" ACN Pod 166
It's the end of another Norwich City season, one quite unlike any other. One more chat then, before the summer of a World Cup DOMINATED by Canary talent...
"See who turns up" ACN Pod 165
Clare, Jon & Tom talk comebacks after another Mo hat-trick leads us to one in Bristol. Not long left now, still 3 games to have some fun, try some new things and score some more goals in this topsy turvey season.
"Meat in the sandwich" ACN Pod 164
Jon, Clare & Tom reflect on a bountiful bank holiday Monday at Millwall, oh I can't be putting alliteration in these notes too. We talk about Norwich and then that lot on Saturday.
"When the storm is racing" ACN Pod 163
Jon, Clare & Tom are joined by Glen Riddersholm, former Norwich City assistant coach, who was a senior figure at Carrow Road less than a year ago. We talk about projects, promises and trust, Josh Sargent, the best place to live in the UK (world), Neil Adams, Ben Knapper, and plenty of the philosophy and psychology beliefs Glen's developed over his decades long coaching career.
"Lucky Charm" ACN Pod 162
We all have Clare to thank for 3 points at Charlton, but why? And can she do it again? We read some of your Random Nodge moments that you think noone remembers but should - email us yours to alongcomenorwich@gmail.com
"Rubbing Themselves" ACN Pod 161
We are a bit giddy after a double league win, shall we get carried away and talk of playoffs again?
"Rotisserie Chicken" ACN Pod 160
It's beginning to look a lot like survival. Time for a cup run?
"Fiddle Around With It" ACN Pod 159
We lost to Brum (again) but we played some lovely stuff. Eventually. And bye bye Sarge. And hello Wednesday (and also bye bye).
"Jove's Avulsion" ACN Pod 158
Has anyone else noticed that we keep getting loads of injuries? We put the leading medical mind of our generation on the case of what's going on up Colney. Sort of. We talk about loads of goals and that. It's great at the moment, drink it in friends, we're owed these performances to be proud of.
"The Form Boys" ACN Pod 157
Pre deadline day chitter chat, and the Boro loss was only a one off wobble, right? right?!
"Obviously Jove" ACN Pod 156
Clare, Jon & Tom wang on about Wrexham and wishful think about West Brom. Could this finally be the week we nip out of the bottom 3?
"It's Already Over" ACN Pod 155
Springett, Makama, there are lots of reasons to be joyful after a 5-1 thumping of Walsall. But someone has "Transfer Stuff" on his mind and decides to make it all about him. Oh Josh. What a let down.
"Mouldy Old Cave" ACN Pod 154
Two steps forward one step sideways, one back, a jump forward a couple of steps back. It's going to be nervy and frustrating right up to May, folks. 2 thirds of us are confident it won't be League One football next season...
"All Gonna Click" ACN Pod 153
It's Christmas. And under Clement, there's no need to be afraid. We prattle on some nonsense and only the one factual inaccuracy on the Christmas quiz (we think, at this point) which by Tom's perilously low standards is a fairly sizeable achievement. Have a joyful peaceful Christmas everyone x
"Hands Off" ACN Pod 152
It's beginning to look a lot like Norwich. 3 great performances in a week has us all feeling the magic of Norwich. Happy Norwich, everyone.
"Master Craftsman" ACN Pod 151
WE WON A GAME OF FOOTBALL AT HOME. Time to get delirious and massively read way too much into a couple of positive games, getting completely carried away, right?
"A lovely Hygienist" ACN Pod 150
First Clement game was awful. A couple of us are keeping positive that there's still time to turn this around. The person actually at the game on Saturday is going to need to see these players actually perform somewhere near their best a couple of times to believe it. 2 home wins this week are essential. Can we do it?
"Still In Pret" ACN Pod 149
There's a new head coach to attach unreasonable levels of expectation, attachment and hope to. We have a wee catch up about how we feel on the PC appointment, on the night the glorious, wonderful Kenny and his pals book their flights to the World Cup.
"Long Throw Army" ACN Pod 148
It's time to bid farewell to Manning. Nice bloke. Got a very very long run to turn it round. How are we feeling? Listen as we guarantee who the next head coach is...
"What has happened" ACN 147
No corner flags yet. Mr Norfolk Holdings came, saw, paused some seats moving but nothing else was changed. Clare, Jon & Tom scratch their heads in audio form. One of the few episodes we hope is out of date pretty quickly....
"Their inevitable goal" ACN Pod 146
Clare, Jon & Tom wonder where the corner flag is, maybe it's like when different areas of the country have their half terms at different times and the corner flag's kids are already off school so it's gone to center parcs or eurocamp.
"Clip This Up" ACN Pod 145
For a divided fanbase, a podcast which reflects that. Rome wasn't built in a day, nor was a team in 9 games. Or is the right answer Manning out? Knapper out? OR turn the whole thing on and off again?N.b. re-edited version of this week's episode thanks to some Punt internet shenanigans that slipped under the radar of the first edit.
"Misery Pit" ACN Pod 144
It's not got any better despite a point away at currently high flying (but we doubt for long) Stoke. Will it have to get worse, really worse, before there's a change? Is this the week it finally clicks, or finally gets blown up and reset? Clare, Jon and Tom chat doom, gloom and perspectives.
"Treble Horse Noise" ACN Pod 143
That was woeful. It can't go on like this can it? Clare, Jon & Tom try and work out which blame belongs where and figure out why we should all remain cheerful.
"Roar like Vlad" ACN Pod 142
Clare, Jon & Tom review an excellent result at Blackburn and look back on the tricky week that preceded it. Not everyone is "Fine". Tom also endeavours to find new ways to make what should be a simple quiz seem like rocket science.
"Head with your head" ACN Pod 141
It's been a bit up and down so far. Some of us are more willing to see the positives than others. We review Boro and try and work out if Nodge and our new players are good or not. OTBC.
"Absolute Levels" ACN Pod 140
We have the first 3 real games of the Liam Manning era to dissect and discuss, loads of talking points, lots to be excited about.
"Where have you been" ACN Pod 139
Clare, Jon and Tom look ahead to a season of ManningBall. It's been a busy summer of ins and outs, we touch on the highlights here and make some guarantees for Saturday and the season.
"A Really Nice Balance" ACN Pod #138
Tom & Punt look at the Stoke dismantling and build up to Blackburn, with some thoughts on the run in and which players need to play to their strengths and not beyond them.
"Still 18" ACN Pod 137
Nodge have wobbled however there's lots of things to be positive about for the position we find ourselves in. BUT, Tuesday against Preston was so unbearably bad, we do have to have a good moan about it before moving on.
"The Half-Time Team Talk" ACN Pod #136
Two gingers, one Punt. Jon, Ben & Connor drool over some last minute Carrow Road drama whilst trying to be sensible about the January transfer window that lies ahead...
"Hooked" ACN Pod #135

"Dribbling Spaghetti" ACN Pod 131
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).

'Circles' City 'Til We Die #3
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.)
"Fourteen Years" ACN Pod 125
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.

"Soccerbot ROI" ACN Pod 115
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.
"Venom" ACN Pod 114

"Eight Games To Go" ACN Pod 113

"Wagnerok" ACN Pod 109

"Thief Of Joy" ACN Pod 108
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?
"Beggars Belief" ACN Pod 107
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.

"Flop One In" ACN Pod 101
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.
