Henry steps in for Freddie, for the weekly edition of Nodge Spotlight. Will & Henry; discuss the Middlesbrough game, the George Long narrative, Borja Sainz’s brilliance and the McLean red card fallout. With difficult away trips to Cardiff...

It?s been another of those weeks. So much to write about. Most weeks, a breathless 3-3 home draw, 12 months unbeaten, a missed penalty and a sending-off would be top of the bill but not this week. But no. I am actually quite privileged...

The weekend had quite the theme. City?s nail-biting 3-3 draw with Middlesbrough at Carrow Road on Sunday wasn?t the only 3-3 draw a Norwich side were involved in at the weekend, with the women recording the same scoreline against London Bees...

How’s anyone supposed to capture all of that in 1000 words" If the Championship, at some point in the future, decides to try and sell itself to an even higher bidder and needs a 96-minute showreel, then it should look no further than City...

City faces a tough test at Carrow Road as they host Middlesborough on Sunday afternoon in the Sky Bet Championship. Freddie and Will look ahead to the game, and cover all the Canary news from the week, as they also give their preferred XI...

Further to an earlier column on MFW when we chatted to Kevin Goodings about his new book, ‘Canary Threads’ – which reviews the most iconic shirts from Norwich’s history – our Henry chats with him and renowned football shirt collector Billy...

City look to extend their unbeaten run at Carrow Road to 20 matches on Sunday afternoon when they welcome Middlesborough, a side who haven?t lost there in over six years. After salvaging a draw from two goals down away at Preston North End on...

At the start of the 2023-24 campaign, City invited Errol Mundle-Smith to a trial, with the youngster hoping to sign a scholarship contract until the end of the season. Fast forward just over a year and Mundle-Smith has accumulated 23 goals in all...

It took an age to happen but, finally, the planets of negotiation, bureaucracy, due diligence, and patience have aligned. Mark Attanasio and his Norfolk Group are now the majority shareholders of Norwich City FC. The significance of this...

I mean, we could talk all morning about what went wrong in the first 15 minutes and ruminate on why City turned up 15 minutes late for kick-off but let’s instead focus on what went right between minutes 16 and 94. First things first …...

We reflect on Norwich City’s 2-2 draw away at Preston North End. https://x.com/MFW_NCFC Facebook: https://open.spotify.com/show/5WOsTVO… Instagram:

It was two cup games in two weeks for City as they welcomed Actionians to The Nest in the second round of the National League Plate. In what was billed by many as a warm-up game ahead of the league fixture in a few weeks, all eyes were on how...

City look to become only the second team to win at Deepdale this season as they travel to Preston North End tonight in the Sky Bet Championship. Freddie previews the fixture and gives some thoughts on how the Canaries will fare against Paul...

I’ve lived up north for the last 40 years and, to this day, still get a lot of weird looks when they discover I’m a Norwich City supporter. Some locals say my accent is of the West Country and why would I support a club from Norfolk, so I...

This is one of the times I?m grateful my remit is a preview, not a prediction. On top of my hopeless record at prediction, games involving Preston are notoriously hard to forecast. Even within the glorious general unpredictability of the...

The latest episode of the MFW pod may be missing Jack Wright and Henry Miller, but the duo of Freddie and Will return for the weekly mardle with a special guest in Steve Cook (no, not that one). From being locked in a Sky Sports studio...

Who doesn?t love an international break" Yes, that?s the opening line I used last week and nothing that happened over the weekend has changed my mind. After the last international break, on the back of the first win under Johannes...

For some City fans, the 4-0 win over Hull signalled the start of an inevitable surge into the top six from which promotion would invariably follow. Those same good folk probably stood rigidly by that belief when Ante Crnac crashed one into...

City face a tough week as they have to play three games in seven days in the Sky Bet Championship. Freddie and Will look ahead to the week to come for the Canaries and mainly preview Saturday afternoon’s clash with Stoke City. They will...

After some blistering recent form, Norwich seem all but unstoppable right now, so the only thing that can prevent us from coming away from Stoke with three points is surely some awful luck. Well, fortunately for Narcis Pelach I will be at the...

La?Sean Sealey and Uriah Djedje are, arguably, the two most important players in their respective academy sides. Sealey contributes sublime numbers for the U18s, while Djedje provides a vital backbone across the U21s midfield.  Unfortunately,...

With City enjoying a fine run of form under their new manager Johannes Hoff Thorup, Freddie and Will poise this week’s ‘Big Question’ on whether the Canaries could become contenders for automatic promotion from the Championship this season....

It’s okay folks, we’re nearly there. Just three days before the world’s longest, most inconvenient international break ends. Then normality can be restored, which, in City’s case, usually involves a sluggish restart to proceedings as some...

I didn?t intend to write a MFW column today. And then the FA go and officially appoint Thomas Tuchel as their next England manager. Cue uproar from the Daily Mail, the Telegraph and many many little Englanders on social media who have...

Football is a simple game. That?s what everyone says. I?m not so certain. To start with, I don?t think it?s a game played by professional footballers anymore. At least not in the traditional sense. Seeing a footballer out of his...

It?s that time of the week again when I review all things Norwich City Women as they look to get back to winning ways in the FA Cup Third Qualifying Round. The Canaries? last game saw the points shared in a 0-0 draw with Real Bedford...

Who doesn?t love an international break"  Two weeks without a game; meaningless friendlies; sweating on whether City players pick up injuries; and, if you are really unlucky, being forced to watch an England game. I?m not sure when...

Another international break, another quiz for the MFW team (minus Will) to provide you with some content to fill in the void of no game for our beloved NCFC. Feel free to partake, and let us know your scores in the comments below! Maybe you...

The third episode of the Club’s excellent On the Ball series dropped on Friday teatime. If you’ve not yet seen it, you really should. It gives the best insight yet into what makes this group tick while reassuring us that, if we were in...

As this un-lovable international break (particularly after last night) has robbed this editor of fresh NCFC content, I thought it time to delve into the MFW archives and resurrect a classic from the past – one that will hopefully chime as much...

Norwich U21s bounced back from their irritating defeat against Manchester United with an impressive, ground-out 2-1 away win against Reading on Monday night. Reading came into the game sitting in 22nd position, having won only once this...

Remember that time when many of us were likening JHT?s first Norwich City season to Daniel Farke?s first season" Well ?that time? was only about three weeks ago. Now, off the back of three wins and a draw, we?ve very quickly pivoted and are...

Do you remember Liverpool Are On The Tele Again! " It was one of several celebrated Norwich City fanzines of the ’70s and ’80s, which celebrated the club and its players in a rather more unorthodox manner than that adopted by the...

Carrow Road?s fortress status continued with a convincing mauling of hapless Hull City. With the Tigers put to the sword, a three-man MFW crew of Jack, Henry and Will rave about the glories of Hoffball, mull over the complex youth pathway and...

It?s been another of those weeks for me. And typically it came in what could prove to be a pivotal week for the fortunes of the Club this season. Tuesday night found me in Farnborough on a week-long training event. After some protracted...

What a difference a year can make. Roll the clock back to game nine last season and, while we were in the same league position (seventh), it felt nothing like this. Not even close to feeling like this. In truth, we were a point better...

Hoffball is beginning to take shape in NR1 after a rampant display from his new-look City side. Sit back and enjoy as we reflect on the Canaries 4-0 tonking of Hull City on a gorgeous Norfolk day at Carrow Road. x.com/MFW_NCFC...

It?s been quite the week in our now-lovely little Canary bubble. The win against Derby was one of those in which we rode our luck a bit but also rolled with the punches as they came raining in (mainly metaphorical ones from Derby fans on...

Before I analyse Lucien Mahovo?s magnificent start to the season, I apologise for the lack of academy articles over the recent weeks. This was due to being on holiday and having other commitments at awkward times. My commitment to delivering weekly...

The club have relished an enjoyable month of results, with the team extending their unbeaten run to three games. As well as previewing the Hull game, Freddie and Will discuss the possibility of City entering the free-agent market, with...

How many of you would have taken a point before the start of last night’s game" The majority I suspect, although it says something about the mentality and bravery of this team and, crucially, its head coach that after a difficult night, it...

City look to extend their unbeaten run at Carrow Road to 19 matches as they welcome the very side who denied them a chance at last season?s Championship Playoff Final, Leeds United. After recording just their eighth win from their last 27...

Another game week down in which Norwich played two matches. The games really are coming thick and fast for the women?s side. The Canaries began the week looking to bounce back from a draw with Chesham by travelling to AFC Sudbury under the...

?I hope we can be better than this? Not the words of a head coach who has just suffered a poor defeat away from home. These were the words of JHT in his post-match interview following the 3-2 victory against Derby. While I wouldn?t...

Borja Sainz will grab the headlines for this one – deservedly so – but three points could easily have been one, even zero, without some Angus heroics in those frantic closing moments. But in the face of a hostile environment, not all of...
