[u]Match Odds[/u] Norwich are going through something that happens to a lot of newly-promoted clubs. Having guaranteed their stay in the Premier League a few weeks back, they've suffered something of a late-season lull. The Canaries have lost their last four and going back a bit further, it's just one win from their last 11 in the league. In fairness to them, it's not for the want of trying. I think it's just fatigue kicking in. Paul Lambert will be hammering it into his players that he wants to finish as high up in the table as possible and that two points from their last two matches could allow them to move a couple of places up the table which equates to some decent money in the Norwich coffers. I'm not too sure a trip to the Emirates is the sort of fixture they'd want up next though. As...

Martin O'Neill has been talked about as a future Manchester United manager for a while. He's been in charge of some pretty big clubs in Celtic and Aston Villa but with all due respect to those two, the United job is in a different league and would surely represent by far the biggest challenge of his career if he were to get it. Personally I don't think he will and the Betfair next Manchester United manager market (for a bit of trivia, it's the oldest market on Betfair by a huge distance) tends to agree, making him only fifth favourite. Goodness knows when that market will be settled by the way, Sir Alex could easily be in charge for another ten years! One thing is for sure: since arriving at Sunderland he's certainly done his chances of getting that job no harm at all. [u]Match Odds[/u] A...

Norwich have been one of the surprise packages of the Premier League this season. But I did think at the start of the campaign that they were the team from the three newly-promoted ones that had the best chance of survival. They've arrived in the Premier League and carried on doing what got them into this league in the first place. Playing as a team, working for each other and being positive. Believing they can score against anyone, even if they concede a few in the process. [u]Match Odds[/u] Perhaps the most impressive thing about Norwich is that they haven't allowed themselves to be intimidated by anyone. They may have lost to the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea but in all those matches they created enough chances to get something from the game. They have the confidence...

[u]Match Odds [/u] After 11 games few would have predicted that Norwich would be sitting in the dizzy heights of ninth place in the table. And it's not like they've just been taking points off the weaker teams; their 1-1 draw at Anfield, for example, was thoroughly deserved. And even when they've actually lost against a couple of the big guns, they've certainly given their more illustrious opponents a game. They gave Chelsea plenty of problems in a 3-1 defeat and had a few good chances away at Old Trafford, before succumbing to defeat. I always enjoyed travelling to Carrow Road as a player. And no, it wasn't because Delia Smith prepared the post-match meal. It's a very intense and personal ground where the Norwich faithful love their football and create a really buzzing atmosphere....
