Thank god! Maybe if I bugger off for another 7 weeks Popa will pick Nizzie for the Socceroos.

Meanwhile... I've been OS for 7 weeks. What have I missed?

I have numerous issues with that paper. The line that made me laugh was: Pragmatic considerations aside...

He's been making a few chances for others.

Every time I ever got sent off were the worst refereeing performances I ever saw.

I note Farrell has been playing at LCB for the Wanderers. Good player in a losing team... could make a late run.

Some great stuff from Irankunda in these highlights, especially from 1.20

Watford fans also pleased with Irankunda's shift. Apparently he ran the length of the field, beat a few players then missed a one on one. The miss was a shame but they were impressed with the ability to set it up.

Some Norwich fans very pissed off that Toure was replaced - saying he looked almost inevitable to score the way he was running the defence ragged.

A defender coming off after 70 mins usually means either an inury or poor form. Could potentially be a change of formation but being the one chosen for that is still not a good sign. I don't rate him.

Popa speaks of Degenek in the highest terms. I reckon he's a shoe in to go - even though I don't really rate him myself but he has had some decent games for the NT during Popa's reign.

I've long regarded Strain as our best RB but he's had a dreadful run with injuries. If he can stay injury free to the end of the season then he's a great option.

Always been a disappointment at NT level. He's had a few chances but that won't stop Popa picking him ahead of (say) Segecic.

Lifeline for Ryan Strain? Sad for Miller but he's not our best option at RB. Toure rated MOTM on BBC despite only half an hour!!!

Norwich forum going crazy about Toure, and not just the goals. They're saying his all-round play is outstanding.
