OTB: A Norwich City podcast

Well that felt good didn't it? After weeks of stinking the place out with six straight defeats, Norwich City have the scent of victory back in their nostrils. It started pretty ugly, but finished with Norwich City sitting pretty, thanks to a 3-1 comeback win over Charlton Athletic on Saturday. Big Phil is back everyone. Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders hail some unlikely heroes, thank the lord almighty for the return of the great Kenny, recall the greatest scissor clearance in living memory, and question whether Andy Hinchcliffe is ok, hun. Plus, kids on comms in a daring new(ish) feature, Attanasios pulling pints, Delia's favourite manager (probably), and an epic fail from the Daily Mail.

Not really what we had in mind if we're honest lads. Norwich City's big week turned into a big washout, with back-to-back 1-0 home defeats against Southampton and Portsmouth leaving Canaries fans with a forboding sense of deja-vu from 12 months ago. Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders play spot-the-difference with 2025/26, and try and find some way to explain the slump that's led to six defeats in a row, without hailing down any buses to throw anyone under. Plus, legends ascend as Norwich City pay tribute to Michael Wynn Jones, October misery, and the perfect wig for Big Phil. All on a Sunday bloody Sunday.

Well at least we didn't lose 4-3. But that aside, any hopes that things would be different after the international break were dashed, as Norwich City lost 2-1 at top-of-the-table Swansea on Saturday to get a touch closer to the edge of their proverbial cliff. Fine margins or well beaten? Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders pick the bones out of a fourth straight defeat, covering confidence, desire, Knapper, and full-backs being caught miles upfield. Plus, two more legends get the Canary Countdown treatment, the upcoming south coast invasion, watching games on a 24-hour delay, the Robson and Jerome mid-90s behemoth, and Vlad in the lions' den.

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.
