On The Ball - A show about Norwich City On The Ball

You will hear no presumptions made on this penultimate/not-penultimate On The Ball Norwich City Podcast for 2023/24. That's because the Canaries are nearly in the play-offs but not quite rubber stamped yet - with a 2-2 draw with Swansea at the weekend, along with Hull's draw with Ipswich, meaning that only an eight-goal swing in Hull's favour would see Norwich City drop out of the top six.
Steve Sanders (aka NCFC Numbers), Dan Brigham and Ryan Livermore ensure not to break any mirrors or walk under any ladders, as the panel once again pay homage to the magnificence of Gabriel Sara, try and remember the five shots of Duffy, and at least allow Sydney van Hooijdonk more air time than he gets game time.
Plus, Kenny wins player of the season and immediately slips into apology mode, finding ways to avoid next Saturday's game, and a lot of agonising noises over answers in Ryan Livermore's player-of-the-year quiz.

For the first time in quite some time, the On The Ball Norwich City Podcast does not follow a win, after the Canaries' 3-1 Easter Monday defeat at Leicester.
The panel of NCFC Numbers (aka Steve Sanders), Dan Brigham and Dave Powles review that, before moving on to the positivity of the comeback win over Plymouth, Gabriel Sara's free-kick nearly moment and Norwich City's new role as the Championship's new corner routine kings. And then there is, of course, the look ahead to quite an important derby game...
Plus, a look back at those Stuart Webber comments, a new horse-based celebration idea for Ashley Barnes, being sick in tube carriages, and answer to the age-long question: 'What Are Norwich City Actually Good At?'.

The On The Ball Norwich City Podcast turns 150 episodes old! And celebrated by doing what it's done for the previous 149 episodes: talking about the football. Luckily the Canaries obliged with a thumping 3-0 win at Stoke for the anniversary pod, so it was celebrations all round.
NCFCNumbers (aka Steve Sanders), Zoe Morgan, and Radio Norfolk Sport Editor & Norwich City commentator Phil Daley revisit the away win that put the Yellows firmly in the top six, rejoice in the wonder of Sara, ask if Stoke is still a difficult place to go, and debate who's getting Player of the Season.
Plus...playing Snog, Marry, Avoid with the Norwich City defence, a review of Onel & Jonny on the mic from one of their peers, Iwan's mystery sit-down goal, and lots of people not called Chris being called Chris. It was a chaotic way to turn 150!

Five goals, five goalscorers beginning with S - some sort of sorcery... Episode 149 of the On The Ball Norwich City Podcast deals with the alliterative, but also revels in a thumping 5-0 win for Norwich City over Rotherham on Saturday that lifted Norwich City into the top six.
NCFC Numbers (aka Steve Sanders) is joined by Ryan Livermore and Radio Norfolk Norwich City commentator Chris Goreham to run the rule over the Canaries and their historically poor opponents, dish out a bit of praise to Jack Stacey and Jacob Sorensen, and discuss who did it better: Sainz or Sara. And they're still not over THAT red card either, so the Sainz-Howson brush off gets the On The Ball treatment too.
Plus, life as Cinderella's understudy, some new kids on the commentary block for Chris, and stick around until the end for Quiz Boreham - quite possibly Ryan's finest quiz to date...
