Who can forget April 9, 2005 when then English Premier League strugglers Norwich City Football Club
toppled mighty Manchester United 2-0? Since then the Canaries have lingered in the English Football
League Championship and are now fighting to avoid the drop to League One. Yesterday, Norwich City
FC unveiled their new 2009-11 Aviva away kit at [.
Huckerby waves goodbye to MLS?
A rough season for the San Jose Earthquakes only got worse with the news that star midfielder
Darren Huckerby was lost for the season after undergoing hip surgery last Friday. The Newcomer of
the Year winner in MLS last season, and a player San Jose hoped would lead a dynamic attacking
offense in 2009, was limited to just 14 appearances in an injury marred season.
A sad day personally for me yesterday, as I watched my team, Norwich City, fall without a whimper
into a League One. And it was painful.Excruciating to bear witness too, I was standing with 3,000
other NCFC fans, as we watched our team capitulate to a side already relegated to League One,
Charlton. We lost 4-2, though that doesn‘t tell the entire story.
It's been clear for quite a while that Andriy Shevchenko will leave Stamford
Bridge this summer and even though the Ukrainian striker was linked with the return to Dynamo Kyiv,
the latest reports are suggesting he could join Fenerbahce after all. Player's
manager is negotiating the transfer with Turkish giants but we are yet to see if Sheva will choose
Fener over his Dynamo.
Things go from bad to worse to unbelievably awful!
Norwich slumped to a huge defeat as Bryan Gunn's Championship return bid began in
utterly disastrous fashion.
Keeper Michael Theoklitos missed his punch to hand Kevin Lisbie Colchester's first, and Clive Platt
finished into an unguarded net three minutes later.
Fraser Forester has joined League One club Norwich City on loan for another month, after Rovers
failed to agree financial terms with Newcastle United for their star young goalkeeper. Fraser
Forster - switches to the Canaries The 21-year-old 6′6″ talented goalkeeper has spent a month

Championship
It was an exciting finish to the Championship season. Wolves had already clinched the league
championship, but the second automatic promotion spot, the fourth playoff spot, and the third
relegation spot were up for grabs. Birmingham clinched automatic promotion and second place with
their 2-1 win over reading.
Canaries boss Bryan Gunn made five changes from the side that lost 7-1 to Colchester on Saturday
and it seemed to do the trick with Grant Holt spearheading the attack scoring a hat-trick and
helping Norwich City to a morale boosting win over fellow League One outfit Yeovil Town.

Columbus loses 4-2 on aggregate to Real Salt Lake. It was a great season, boys. Maybe not
Massive, but not anything to be ashamed of.
None of us expected this, no one thought it was possible. The Crew always performs under
pressure. Columbus always gets the clutch goal or Jesus-save that it needs to stay alive.
29-year-old defender, Michael Nelson, who signed with the Canaries on a Bosman free transfer
recently, is really impressed with his new club stadium. Speaking with BBC Radio Norfolk, Nelson
noted:
"When you come and look around the place, it sells itself. This is a massive club with
one of the best stadiums in the Championship, let alone League One.
*The English sack race bagged after just ONE game??? League One Norwich have fired their coach
Bryan Gunn after 90 minutes of the new league season, a 7-1 home hammering by Colchester. Here are
the Canaries in better days beating Bayern Munich at the Olimpiastadion in the 1993 UEFA Cup with
an all-British eleven.
Can you imagine being sacked after just one full week in you're new job? You would have thought
it would take something deadly severe to be shown the door before you've even managed to get feet
under the table. So, how must Bryan Gunn have felt last weekend having been shown his marching
orders last week as manager of Norwich City.
MSL in such a pathetic state it badly needs a revamp

NO wonder the Super League is being labelled the Super Flop.
On May 23, only 11 fans paid to watch UPB-MyTeam FC play out a drab 0-0 draw with Police in a Super
League match.
This is the pathetic state of affairs of the Malaysian Super League (MSL), which will be going into
its seventh season next year.
It is starting to look as if West Ham striker Dean Ashton could be forced to retire from the
game at just 25-years-old.
The former Norwich forward broke his left ankle while training with the England squad in 2006
and has been unable to recover from the injury.
Hammer boss Gianfranco Zola had this to say on his situation: "When something like this happens,
it is very much personal.
