Canaries Make Hard Work Of Cup Tie

The Canaries were outplayed by League One outfit Rotherham for long spells at Millmoor but managed to escape a second round upset in the Carling Cup tie courtesy of two goals in as many second-half minutes to triumph 4-2. Scorers for Norwich City FC were Peter Thorne (6th minute), Ryan Jarvis (53rd and 91st minutes) and Craig Fleming (54th minute). Buck up, you guy!

Canaries Win And Lose

Norwich City FC recorded a win and a loss in their past two matches in the English Championship. The Canaries lost 0-1 away to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough and unlikely won 3-2 against Queen's Park Rangers at Carrow Road after being two goals down. In the EPL, Chelsea need only a point to secure their second successive premiership title. This may happen when they play against Manchester United. At the bottom end, Portsmouth, Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion are all in a dog-fight to avoid relegation. In a poll, Portsmouth are favourites to avoid the dreaded drop and Pompey is currently showing good form.

Canaries' Dream Dies

Two own goals made sure that Norwich City FC remained in the English Championship for another season. They lost 0-2 away to Preston North End. In the EPL, Chelsea edged closer to retaining their Premiership title with a 4-1 win over West Ham United. Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur all won to put the pressure on the leaders.

Canaries Chalk Up Fourth Successive Win

Well done, Canaries! A resurgent Norwich City FC scored a 2-1 home win against high-riding Burnley at Carrow Road. Goals came courtesy of Simon Charlton and Darren Huckerby. The Canaries are climbing the English Championship table and is poised to grab a place in the play-offs.

Back to the EPL, Chelsea won again. So did The Kop, who beat their Merseyside rivals, Everton, 3-1 in a derby, notching their ninth consecutive victory. Manchester United stumbled to a draw, while Arsenal also tasted victory. Spurs lost, while Wigan won.
