OTB: A Norwich City podcast

In the absence of another 4-3 defeat to speak of, the OTB podcast brings you a very special episode with voice of Norfolk and all-round nice fella, Chris Goreham. As part of the deal for having a minor fuss made over him for an episode by Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan, Chris shares his thoughts on the season so far, answers questions from listeners on everything from his favourite Norwich City player name to yell to who the scariest interviewee was, and (the big one...) gives us his own personal Canary Countdown of his top 25 players at the club this century. Plus, the panel react to the sad news of an actual club legend in Michael Wynn Jones, trying desperately to paint a positive picture of a spate of new injuries, a new game involving a budding Goreham of the future and The Life of Riley, and the return of Earnie...

Oh. Oh dear. Goals did not equal fun at Carrow Road on Sunday, as Norwich City lost 3-4 in a seven-goal-non-thriller, with Bolton taking a big old chisel to expose quite a few considerable cracks and leave the Canaries with five defeats from their opening eight league games. Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan try and make sense of the nonsensical and question where this has all come from. Is it overly gung ho wingers? Kenny's legs? Vlad's inability to make saves these days? Is Big Phil still the messiah? Suddenly we're questioning everything we held dear. Plus, going 'phwooaar' at Mo Toure finishes, a splash of country and western, players with their arms hanging off, and possibly the most half-hearted homage you'll hear all season in the latest Canary Countdown.

First-minute screamers, wild spells of clinging on for dear life, a great comeback, and ultimate heartbreak; Norwich City's 4-3 defeat at Middlesbrough on Saturday had it all. OTB's Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Craig Draycott try (and miserably fail) to sum up 90 crazy minutes in ten podcast minutes: the welly of Toure, the madcap pressing, Vlad's current uncertainties, the last-gasp set-piece catastrophe, and nearly conceding from four of your own corners in a row. Plus, looking ahead to our greatest cup win of all time, trying to fit all of our attacking players in one team, which Norwich City player would you like to be dressed as, 1980s French waiters, some incredibly quick Boyzone knowledge, and a dog burglar.

If you think we're above Hugh Jackman film puns then you'd be very wrong. Particularly on a week when Norwich City have turned in a proper vintage away performance to take three points at Bramall Lane with a 3-1 win at Sheffield United, with a certain speedboat starring. It hasn't all been plain sailing though and Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan try to evaluate what City's first three points on the road mean in the context of the 1-0 defeat to Stoke earlier in the week. Plus, two more star names hit the Canary Countdown board, it's grim up north for Norwich City, the Clement-Wilder love-in, Big Phil's team (and outfit) rotation, and a little bit of Hollywood A-lister chat obviously.

What a difference a week makes, eh? Norwich City's league campaign is off and running after a dismantling of Burnley on Saturday, and you could say they're CUP and running as well! Right? RIGHT?? The Pink 'Un's Connor Southwell joins Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham and Zoë Morgan to talk over a week of wins, wingers and, um, wonderful (?) Big Phil Clobber that really make you feel like Norwich City are back. Plus we swoon over Brooks and Ben, Dan (metaphorically) points a Gunn at Connor's head, there's Sophie's Word of the Week, and two away days of red and white to look forward to as well.
