Let's be honest. Dig deep inside and search for the the truth. You expect us to secure three points this afternoon. Go on, Admit it.
If like me you never predict a win for fear of "boking" (Irish for curse) the team, then you will be doing all you can to pretend this is a difficult fixture against a team who have upset us in the recent past, but we all know we should beat Norwich today.

Manchester United continued their winning ways against a tough Norwich City side as the Red Devils handled the match quite comfortably in their 4-0 win at Old Trafford.
If there was any team whose season so far was the hardest to define, it would be Norwich City.
Speaking as a fan, the mixture of emotions I've experienced from the opening disaster at Fulham to their ten game unbeaten run to their crushing defeat recently at Liverpool has been astonishing. From anticipation to dread, to pride and embarrassment – they have all been there.
LIVERPOOL V NORWICH CITY Liverpool face Chris Hughton's Norwich City at 3pm today with the ideal chance for the Reds to earn another three points in the hope of rising out of 8th place and slowly up the table in our hunt for a top-four finish this Season.
Expect Sturridge to start upfront after his great start to his Liverpool career with two in two so far.
Norwich City 3-4 Manchester City Premier League 29th December 2012
Manchester City bounced back from that shock defeat at the Stadium of Light by securing all three points at Carrow Road, albeit in a less than comfortable.
Having gone two goals up, both courtesy of Edin Dzeko, City looked to be cruising to a simply away victory.

On Tuesday, December 11th, the League Cup quarterfinal clash between Norwich and Aston Villa will see two of the five remaining Premier League sides left in the competition fighting for a place in the semifinals.
We watched the Swansea vs Norwich City game yesterday, and the two in-form teams put on an excellent display for the fans, and would you believe Norwich City were 3-0 up at the break, and finally won the game 4-3. Chris Hughton doing great at Norwich City Swansea are a very good side this [...]
Appreciating Norwich's Wes Hoolahan - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Norwich City's memorable victory over Manchester United on Saturday was a superb team effort, but amid the blood-and-guts style of Chris Hughton's side, one man stood out as the class act of the team: Wes Hoolahan.
The 30 year old Irishman is far from a household name to followers of the Premier League, but he has been terrific all season for The Canaries.
Thank Dennis for that it's over .Two weeks of unrelenting football withdrawal. Cold turkey is over and we get our fix this afternoon.
Last time we played the Canaries it was a roller coaster gameat THOF in May; we went one up after 65 seconds, 2-1 down after 30 minutes, 3-2 up and finally allowed Norwich to equalise in the 85th minute.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Norwich City, Saturday 1st September, White Hart Lane, 3pm kick
off
So after 2 decent performances to start the season, with only 1 point to show for it, we welcome
our former Spurs player Chris Hughton and his Norwich team to the Lane on Saturday.
Five months before he was hired by Newcastle in December of 2011 to take over from gentleman Chris Hughton, , he was fired at Southampton by the Executive Chairman and former Italian Banker Nicola Cortese, and it was a surprise to most Southampton fans, since Alan had just won the Football League Trophy, also known [.
Newcastle were after James Perch in January of 2010, when he was still at Nottingham Forest, but the versatile player was not available at that time, and we eventually brought him to Newcastle in the following summer, as we got back into the Premier League. James Perch - transformed his Newcastle career And of course [.
Chris Hughton will finally be returning to Newcastle this coming Sunday, when he brings his Norwich City side to St. James' Park, and it will be the first time he's been back to Newcastle since he was rather unfairly and suddenly fired in December of 2010, after he had done a magnificent job for our [.
Since I wrote a few pieces on how Alan Pardew's Newcastle United had become the biggest "long ball" side in the Premiership this season some time ago, It piqued my curiosity to look beyond and see how the "route one" style favoured by Pardew this term compared with that of his predecessors, and possibly, what [.
Well not if your surname is "Ferguson," "Wenger" or "Mourinho" perhaps, but for most, if not quite all of the others who won the award, it has seemingly been a ticket to disaster, despair, and possibly permanent career oblivion, or at least a prelude to a big dent in the manager's CV. In this story, [.
Venue: Carrow Road, Norwich. Date: Sat 12th January, 2013. Kick off: 3.00pm. Referee: Anthony Taylor. UK TV: None. Hello, good afternoon and welcome to our latest "match banter" for this afternoon's "Battle of the Bird's" as the Magpies travel to Norfolk to take on the Canaries of Norwich City. City of course are managed by [.
Many thanks to "ToonBano" from the Toon blog www.toonbano.com for his second guest blog here – wt. Today is the two year anniversary of Alan Pardew's very first game as NUFC manager, when we defeated Liverpool 3-1 thanks to goals from Kevin Nolan, Joey Barton and Andy Carroll. Just looking at the goal scorers that [.
It's two years since Alan Pardew took over the Newcastle manager job from the sacked Chris Hughton, and in some interviews out today, the Londoner has admitted that the last two months at Newcastle have been the hardest of his management career. Alan Pardew training in the snow last week Newcastle lost four league [.
Newcastle take on Reading later today at the Madejski Stadium, and Alan Pardew and the coaching staff will be looking for their first win since being handed eight year long deals by the Newcastle owner, Mike Ashley. And Newcastle are coming off a hard-fought win at St. James' Park last Sunday against Chris Hughton's well [.
Extended MOTD highlights of yesterday's game between Newcastle united and Norwich at St James' Park, Newcastle. A sublime defence splitting pass from Hatem Ben Arfa, along with an excellent finish from Demba Ba in the 19th minute was the difference between the two sides. Norwich almost struck back on the counter after 27 minutes when [.
Venue: St James' Park, Newcastle. Date: Sun, 23rd Sept. Kick off: 3:00pm Referee: Neil Swarbrick. UK TV: None. Hello, good afternoon and welcome to our "match banter" for today's game against Norwich City at St James' Park. Of course, this one sees the return of an old face, Alan Pardew's predecessor Chris Hughton, with whom [.
With today's game against Norwich City seeing Alan Pardew's predecessor, Chris Hughton, returning to St James' Park for the first time since his sacking in December 2010, there has been far more of the usual pre match words from the managers on both sides. On the Pardew side, amongst other things, he has been anxious [.
Venue: St James' Park, Newcastle. Date: Sun, 23rd Sept. Kick off: 3:00pm Referee: Neil Swarbrick. UK TV: None. Chris Hughton will make his first public appearance at St James' Park since he managed a 1-1 draw for the Toon against Chelsea in November 2010. We all know that shortly after that game, with the team [.
Newcastle have four draws in our first 7 games of the season, and while it's good they were not defeats, real success in the league comes from putting a string of wins together, and we hope we can get back to our winning ways tomorrow afternoon, against Chris Hughton's Norwich City side. Alan Pardew - [.
Newcastle fans get a chance to welcome Chris Hughton back to Newcastle on Sunday afternoon, but Alan Pardew has come out today and said it would probably be better if they did that before the game, because once the whistle goes, it's going to be a hard game with Newcastle looking for all 3 points. [.
Following the departures of Leon Best and Peter Lovenkrands Newcastle United have only three
recognised strikers in our 12/13 squad – fact. A much documented lack of transfer activity has
left countless Geordies despondent with the size of our squad entering a hectic season, yearning
for the signature of a new striker.

Ah, you can't beat a good old-fashioned cupset, except of course, if you're a supporter of the big-time Charlies who have just been slayed in true giant-killing fashion (I seemed to have mixed a fair few metaphors in there. I'm tired).
Anyway, it was the turn of Luton Town of theBlue Square Bet Premier to a big name out of the Cup, with Chris Hughton's Norwich on the end of a rather embarrassing defeat.
Match day. This time it's a trip to Carrow Road to face Norwich. After the end of the round of fixtures today, we could be sitting in second place if results elsewhere goes our way. We are now in 7th place, which is nothing to be sad nor happy about because we are still relatively very early in the season to be thinking that the table indicates how strong the team is.
Chelsea maintained their lead at the top of the Barclay's Premier League heading in to the international break with an emphatic victory over Norwich City.
Grant Holt had put the visitors ahead only for Fernando Torres to head the Blues level just three minutes later.
Frank Lampard then fired Chelsea ahead with a powerful finish before Juan Mata's neat pass was calmly converted by the returning Eden Hazard.
Chris Hughton was hoping to get his first victory as Norwich boss against his former employee's Newcastle, however there was to be no joy as Demba Ba grabbed the winner to give Newcastle all 3 points to spare the blushes of Countryman Papiss Cisse who sky-rocketed a penalty over the bar in embarrassing fashion.
All eyes will once again be on Luis Suarez when Liverpool host Norwich City in the Premier League on Saturday. The Uruguayan is making headlines after admitting to diving against Stoke City earlier in the season and, although he has avoided Football Association action, he could be punished by his club.
Liverpool will hope a strong record against Norwich City in the Premier League will bring their first top-flight win of the season on Saturday. Brendan Rodgers has yet to record a domestic three points since moving to Anfield, including last weekend's defeat by Manchester United, and will be desperate to address the struggles.
The mid-performance managers have some of the most interesting stats, a high % of draws has pulled them up the win+draw ladder: see fan favourites Allardyce and Redknapp. However, Laudrup is the draw achiever.
I think Norwich were incredibly unlucky to lose 1-0 at Wigan last weekend and to draw 1-1 at Sunderland the gameweek prior to that. The team is on a pretty poor run only 1 win in their last 14 ... Continue reading →
It's a little bit of a cliche, and it's something Chris Hughton used to say all the time, that in the game of football you take just one game at a time, whatever happened in the last game win, lose or draw and you simply concentrate on trying to win the next game. [...]
