Norwich City Preview

Club football returns to action this weekend as we travel up to Norwich to face the Canaries at Carrow Road. I'll have to agree with Arsene Wenger in saying that it's been a been a bit of a surprise that they've performed well enough to be ninth in the league after already eleven games considering they've only just come up from the Championship this season.

Will Norwich provide any sort of challenge for us however? I'm not really too worried about it, but if I'm honest there's always that little bit of doubt.

Yes we're on a strong run of games right now: four straight wins in the Premier League and a record of 9-1-1 in our last eleven games in all competitions. But anyone who's not been under a rock for the last five years knows we always have that tendency to drop points against little teams that we should easily be putting away. We were, of course, quite painfully reminded of that tendency at the end of last season in that collapse that costed us a chance at the Premiership title.

Norwich have a decent side, though nothing we can't handle. It seems like we made it through the International break in alright shape, perhaps Carl Jenkinson being the only loss that might be felt in the starting eleven. So with a team pretty much intact after the break we need to keep the momentum and focus if we're to win tomorrow.

With a little hard work, determination, and flowing football that we love to play we should come off conquerors tomorrow without any major difficulty. I personally can't wait to see Arsenal on the pitch again and see if this resurrection of sorts we've been seeing lately can continue.

I'd sure like to rub it in the faces of those who wrote us off by challenging for the top two or three by the new year. After this fixture, which as we've decided is certainly winnable, we have three Premier League matches lined up against teams who are currently 16th, 20th, and 17th in the table respectively. Barring any major re-collapses we could be on quite the winning run by the time we travel to Manchester City on December the 18th. We'll surely need the confidence such a run would bring.

So here's hoping for a win on Saturday. I'll have a bit of a review afterwards of course, so look out for it. Also, we're working tirelessly behind the scenes right now to update and overhaul in a way the blog in the next few weeks. Big and exciting changes are on their way, so stay close to us in the coming weeks to be a part of it all. Till next time,
