The irreverent Norwich City podcast that doesn't take the football too seriously. Ryan, Steve, Zoë, Dan and assorted guests bring you your weekly fix of Norwich City FC, discussing the Canaries' latest fixtures, taking in players and games from years gone by, and throwing in the odd novelty feature.
Well at least we didn't lose 4-3. But that aside, any hopes that things would be different after the international break were dashed, as Norwich City lost 2-1 at top-of-the-table Swansea on Saturday to get a touch closer to the edge of their proverbial cliff. Fine margins or well beaten? Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders pick the bones out of a fourth straight defeat, covering confidence, desire, Knapper, and full-backs being caught miles upfield. Plus, two more legends get the Canary Countdown treatment, the upcoming south coast invasion, watching games on a 24-hour…
In the absence of another 4-3 defeat to speak of, the OTB podcast brings you a very special episode with voice of Norfolk and all-round nice fella, Chris Goreham. As part of the deal for having a minor fuss made over him for an episode by Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan, Chris shares his thoughts on the season so far, answers questions from listeners on everything from his favourite Norwich City player name to yell to who the scariest interviewee was, and (the big one...) gives us his own personal Canary Countdown of his top 25 players at the club this century. Plus, the panel…
Oh. Oh dear. Goals did not equal fun at Carrow Road on Sunday, as Norwich City lost 3-4 in a seven-goal-non-thriller, with Bolton taking a big old chisel to expose quite a few considerable cracks and leave the Canaries with five defeats from their opening eight league games. Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan try and make sense of the nonsensical and question where this has all come from. Is it overly gung ho wingers? Kenny's legs? Vlad's inability to make saves these days? Is Big Phil still the messiah? Suddenly we're questioning everything we held dear. Plus, going 'phwooaar' at Mo…
First-minute screamers, wild spells of clinging on for dear life, a great comeback, and ultimate heartbreak; Norwich City's 4-3 defeat at Middlesbrough on Saturday had it all. OTB's Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Craig Draycott try (and miserably fail) to sum up 90 crazy minutes in ten podcast minutes: the welly of Toure, the madcap pressing, Vlad's current uncertainties, the last-gasp set-piece catastrophe, and nearly conceding from four of your own corners in a row. Plus, looking ahead to our greatest cup win of all time, trying to fit all of our attacking players in one team, which…
If you think we're above Hugh Jackman film puns then you'd be very wrong. Particularly on a week when Norwich City have turned in a proper vintage away performance to take three points at Bramall Lane with a 3-1 win at Sheffield United, with a certain speedboat starring. It hasn't all been plain sailing though and Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan try to evaluate what City's first three points on the road mean in the context of the 1-0 defeat to Stoke earlier in the week. Plus, two more star names hit the Canary Countdown board, it's grim up north for Norwich City, the Clement-Wilder…
What a difference a week makes, eh? Norwich City's league campaign is off and running after a dismantling of Burnley on Saturday, and you could say they're CUP and running as well! Right? RIGHT?? The Pink 'Un's Connor Southwell joins Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham and Zoë Morgan to talk over a week of wins, wingers and, um, wonderful (?) Big Phil Clobber that really make you feel like Norwich City are back. Plus we swoon over Brooks and Ben, Dan (metaphorically) points a Gunn at Connor's head, there's Sophie's Word of the Week, and two away days of red and white to look forward to as well.
Norwich City throwing in a stinker at the start of a season? Oh we're properly up and running now. The Canaries were mauled by The Lions at The Den, with Millwall coming away deserving 3-0 winners on Saturday. Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders refuse to be rage-baited but nevertheless do some unheard of Big Phil questioning, play the Field (criticism) and ask why this keeps happening at Millwall. Plus, Ashley Barnes is back in town...and so is Marcus Edwards, just how do the panel unwind after a heavy defeat (somebody wanted to know, okay?), and revealing the…
Yes, it's a hand pun because there was a handball. Norwich City start the season with a 2-1 home defeat to West Brom that owed more than a little to an illegal body-part. But the panel of Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders eschew blaming The Hand of Heggebo and instead look with some optimism at what was a good performance with some fairly dodgy finishing, check in on the imminent arrival of Anthony Musaba, and ask a little more out of Pelle Mattsson. Plus, Zootopia trivia, just how tanned will Alex Neil be this weekend, a few too many Miley Cyrus impressions, and…
The OTB podcast is back for a new season - and it's time for Philippe Clement to turn honeymoon period into honeymoon permanent (it sounds better when Dan says it). Host Ryan Livermore, and panellists Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders, are as ever in optimistic pre-season mood, and maybe justifiably this season, with the return of our friend continuity and Big Phil at the helm. The gang submit their predictions on who'll be player of the season, who'll breakthrough, and where the Canaries finish (one of the panel has the temerity to put them 5th, naming no names...), and plenty more…
The 2025/26 season is done for Norwich City, and we're filing this one under 'eventful'. The OTB podcast team of Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders look back over a nine months that started with optimism at a time when we thought Big Phil was an Eastenders character, took in sackings and boardroom farce, and then a daring rescue by a heroic Belgian. The team revisit their highlights (Tony Gary's comeback, Clement's bleep test, Kenny waving his arms to help Vlad save a penalty) and lowlights (Sargent, Nunez, basically everything up until November) of the…
So close yet so far for Norwich City! The OTB panel (bar Steve) are joined by the Pink Un's Connor Southwell to dissect and digest things other than press room pies. Ryan Livermore, Zoe Morgan and Dan Brigham, along with Connor, talk a squad that may be ready made for a play-off push next year, a wonderful, unified reaction to a *checks notes* 9th place finish that would rival most promotion celebrations, and Kenny's place in our all-time City XI's. Plus, Dan puts a Gunn to Connor's head to find out his end of season accolades, condemnations, most unusual moments but most of all, his…
He's only gone and done it again. All on the OTB podcast hail Mo Toure, Norwich City's wonder from down under, who bagged himself another hattrick, as the Canaries came from behind to triumph away from home again, this time with a 4-2 win at Roy Hodgson's Bristol City. Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham, Zoë Morgan and Steve Sanders congratulate themselves on their decision to tune in, kick off the Toure v Makama debate ahead of next season, ask how many strips Big Phil tore off them at half-time, and give some kudos to the thoroughly uncheeky Ryan Garry/Garry Ryan. Plus, there may be no mysteries…
That's not how that was all supposed to go. The On The Ball podcast reacts to the big one/damp squib (delete as appropriate), and try and find some positives amidst the disappointment, as Ipswich Town get their first win at Carrow Road for 20 years with a 2-0 win on Saturday. Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders take up the less than enviable task of reliving the soreness of the weekend's result, including refereeing cowardice, a misjudged starting XI, and the cameo from a little Chilean fella who totally lost his head. Plus, the criminal offence of grabbing the ball,…
Slightly new name, slightly new look, same podcasters, and absolutely the same vaguely coherent waffle. The On The Ball podcast is now the OTB podcast and Norwich City have helpfully kicked off the 'OTB' era with a win (they must have known), triumphing in one of their finest performances of the season at The Den with a 2-1 victory over Millwall. Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham, Zoë Morgan and Steve Sanders dish out more praise to the lads as Toure comes over all supersub, Field plays the field, and one of the panel has to eat some humble pie over Pelle Mattsson's finishing. Plus, big derby…
After a midweek blip, normal service under Philippe Clement was resumed for Norwich City as they took to The Valley to grind out a 1-0 win at the weekend. However, in every great heroic quest there's a chippy little Welsh fella … the panel of Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham and Steve Sanders examines the tape of the Nathan Jones vs Philippe Clement and the handshake that wasn't, as well as talking up Norwich City's new-found solidity, the rise and rise of Pelle Mattsson and the versatility of Liam 'Ryan' Gibbs. Plus, there's the ultimate verdict on two left-footed lads of yore, Mattsson's…
