The New Old Norwich

Well we called it, Norwich are in the play offs, but City stuttered into them rather than strutted! 1 win in 5 against a Leeds team that has 1 in 6! Sunday May 12th at 12noon and Thu May 16th at 8pm. When was the last time a team that finished 6th in the Championship won promotion to the Premier League? You'll find out in this episode... And we loopback at 2014/15 and the Alex Neil affect for the plays offs in our memorable matches! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The play offs here we come! But who do we want to play? Are this City side suited for the sudden death end to the season!? We're back - sorry all fine just Easter holidays got in the way - and we review the past 6 matches and look ahead to the next six - all being well! And we praise City for bringing in Ben Knapper - he's our highlight of this turnaround season! We want to hear from you on this turnaround this season - and your memories of the 2015 play off final victory! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

With only two matches left this month, a great time for Dad (Peter Cushing) to dissect the final few fixtures for us, and our rivals for a play off spot. If we don't finish 6th now we'll be disappointed - for everyone we've said about David Wagner, it will be a disappointing end. But what's also become apparent is we could get all the way to Wembley, and actually end the season higher than Ipswich! One of our key questions we've asked every episode this season! It's episode 60 and we're in the top six! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Never seen or heard anything like it at Carrow Road! Two home wins, scoring 4 goals each time, and still fans were booing David Wagner's substitutions in that first match against Watford when leading 2-1. It was never this bad even under Roeder, Gunn and Hughton!! But with that emphatic 4-1 win over Cardiff at the weekend, with the return of goalscoring machine Josh Sargent, who's revealed this ongoing on and off ankle problem, surely all is forgiven from the fans and Wagner alike? We discuss - and talk about that Ben Knapper interview too, when he claims all the glory! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

New month, new striker, new Norwich! After a comeback win against highflying Coventry City surely now the play offs are a probability if City and Wagner carry on like this? Wins over the other City, Hull, West Brom and a draw with Southampton have given us 10 points from 5 games - that's promotion form says Dad! We look ahead to the next 6 matches in the next month PLUS the glorious 88/89 season with Stringer in our memorable matches! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This is the New Old Norwich podcast, after a 1-0 defeat at Daniel Farke's Leeds Utd. But after wins over West Brom & Hull and draw with Southampton is progress being made at City? Or it covering up the cracks in the club? We ask the big questions - and our 5 weekly questions! 1. Where Norwich will finish? 2. Higher/lower than Ipswich? 3. How long will Wagner last? 4. Will Webber join Farke at Leeds ? 5. What will the Americans do? Dare we mention Liverpool? Best not! And in our memorable matches we start with the Stringer years in 1987!

We've stopped the goal conceding rot, but seem to have lost the goalscoring knack! Is David Wagner just defending his own position? Where does Ben Knapper stand on it - surely something has to change? This is the first episode of 2024 and we're hoping for more from City. We also start a new memorable matches section with the Stringer years - and Norwich's first ever live league match on TV!

Worryingly, from a Norwich point of view, were we too delighted to just draw with Ipswich? Yes our 15 year unbeaten run remains in tact for now, but if that's the highlight of this season?!? As this festive season draws upon us, shouldn't we be aiming higher? Don't we have the players that means we should be higher in the Championship and challenging Ipswich? Maybe Ben Knapper is helping David Wagner and we are getting better? This is the New Old Norwich episode 55 - and we finish our 'memorable matches' focus with the end of that famous '59 cup run! Merry Christmas and a Happy New 'City' Year from dad and me! (Peter & John!) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Delia wouldn't like us whinging but despite Dad leaping out of his chair with a last gasp winner again from Adam Idah and celebrations on the pitch, the woeful Watford performance surely sums up where we are? We'll beat Preston and Sheffield Wednesday but not Ipswich in a million years? And why we would we want to get in the Premier League with this manager and end up like Sheffield United? Talking of which - the memorable matches are all about them too 😉 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Something has to be done was the last episode. Ben Knapper started earlier than planned and Stuart Webber finally walked away. But the new Sporting Director of City says it'll take some time, several times, during a club interview. Someone needed to ask the question have we given up on promotion this season then? As Dad reveals, David Wagner's record at Norwich over the course of a season is mid table at best! So uncertainty remains, but as least we have the glory days of the '59 cup run in our memorable matches section! This is the New Old Norwich podcast! Tell your friend - or better still - a City fan!

Leeds, Middlesbrough & Sunderland - Blackburn and Cardiff to come before the international break. David Wagner admits change is needed and he can deliver it. The Webbers, the board, the Americans - someone at Norwich City needs to do something to stop the dramatic decline in form and a fall down the Championship table! Learn more about your ad choices.

What a moment in the season! A great summer start but a struggling September, a new sporting director and new major shareholders, but same old issues on the field. Letting in goals and not scoring enough - unless things change this season feels like nothingness - we're not going to go down, but we're not going up either! As we're in another international break, let us know where you think City are?!? @JohnCushing_ or @PeterCushing1 on X and track us down on Facebook too. Learn more about your ad choices.

We thought Leicester's second team always had a bit more than Norwich, but did anyone see that Plymouth result coming? Honestly? Norwich's best ever start, has capitulated like the Duffy/Gibson defence at Home Park. 3 defeats in 4 the Rotherham blip's become more of a concern. And episode 50, we return to the 1950s and that famous FA Cup run in '59 for our memorable matches Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sorry it's been a while - holidays and illness and kids starting school (John's not Dad's as that would make me 12 again!)... And what a month it's been City fans - can you believe it - we've never had it so good apart from Rotherham (blip?!?) - even the transfer window deadline day was exciting - well the following day when we woke up! We review the first few weeks - and rewind to the 50s for the start of our latest memorable matches! Get in touch anytime - @Johncushing_ @Petercushing1 on social media!

Startling stat - that before the 2002 plays offs, we'd only been in the top ten in Championship ONCE in 6 seasons. Crazy - that's why you can never let it get that bad again! We kick off the new memorable matches feature with the 2002 play offs! And we also look at latest Norwich City news including the new kit (whatever!), and start worrying about the the lack of goals already! Learn more about your ad choices.

The fixtures are out! Best time of the year isn't it? Not so says Dad, with Stuart Webber still in his role. Shouldn't he be on gardening leave? We look at some of the big challenges to come on the pitch for City this coming season 2023/24. And we've completed our greatest ever managers, PL squad, Team and never eleven! So we're starting a brand new discussion on 'memorable matches' - we'd love to hear from you! We're John Cushing and Peter Cushing on social media! Learn more about your ad choices.

On reflection, has anything changed at the football club? We knew Stuart Webber's time was up. Now he's confirmed he's leaving but when? Why are we waiting? Because effectively we don't have anyone to run the club. That emotional statement from Delia and Michael was so insightful - it shows there's no one in charge of that club and 28 years is too long time to be there! Also, in episode 45, we confirm our greatest NEVER Eleven again - yep we made a deliberate mistake honest! Listen to find out! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

When you're a team that has spells of success - that challenge of picking the greatest ever Norwich City XI that had never played together before was a big of a challenge! But it kept Dad (@PeterCushing1) busy 🤣 Listen through to hear why those from the Greatest ever XI stayed in the Greatest NEVER XI. We also welcome Jack Stacey, discuss further fallout from the Webber interview on the actual club itself, and there's a crucial date for your diary - when the fixture list is out!
