Time Comment
15.00 Fulham kick off towards the goal on the right.
15.02 Free kick to Fulham. Paul Trollope knocks it into the area but Norwich put it off for a corner.

Corner comes in to Karl the German oowww! Over the bar.
15.12 Brilliant save by Miak Taylor!! from Shaun Carey
15.18 Still 0-0 with play being a bit ragged. Not a good start for the Super Whites
15.19 Free kick to Norwich. The ball goes into the box but a Norwich player puts it well past the post.
15.23 Fulham still looking a little edgy with Norwich seeming a tiny weeny better, for the moment.
15.24 Ohhh Karl the German heads in a ball from Steve Hayward, the Marshall pushes it out, but only to Paul Trollope who strikes the ball but the Norwich defence blocks it. I don't believe it its come back to Paul Trollope who hits it again. AAHHHH Norwich smotthers the ball and get it away.

How did we not score?
15.26 No goals at Carrow Road at the moment but its nice to think that so far this season we have won 8 and drawn 4.

Oh what heaven Fulham are winners.
15.30 Why did I say that. Norwich 1 Fulham 0
15.30 Paul Eadie takes a corner for Norwich and it heads to the near post. Kit Symons is right there but he has back headed it into the goal!!! Steve Finnan makes a desperate effort to push it out (with his hands!!!) but Forbes rushes in to score for Norwich.

What was Kit doing? A back header??
15.36 We continue to look very uncomfortable with even the master Cookie Coleman being beaten here and there.

Come on You Whites show em who is boss.
15.38 Shame about that goal as we had not let one in since 28 August.
15.40 Fulham have their sixth corner. Hayward puts the ball in but its cleared. Come On You Whites!!!!!
15.44 Cookie Coleman passes to Paul Trollope who chips it to The Horse, he juggles the ball and tries to chip the Goally but its blocked. At last some nice football from Fulham.
15.46 That's the whistle for the first half.

Not too good for the Super Whites but there is another 45 minutes.

Now its down to Brace to get them sorted out. It may be an idea to take Karl the German off and bring on Bazza.
16.05 Off we go COYW!!!
16.06 No half time subs so the two teams stay the same at the moment
16.07 Fulham's play is not looking a lot better at the moment Andy Melville has been caught in possession on the edge of the box. Fortunately Norwich can't do anything with it.
16.11 Fulham have their eighth corner. Steve Hayward takes the corner, into the area but its blocked.
16.12 Fulham are trying to put Norwich under a bit of pressure.
16.15 Brace will have to make a change soon as we are not doing a lot better.
16.15 Steve Finnan doing well containing Eadie
16.17 The Horse is having a poor game and I wonder if he is carrying an injury because he has not played well for the last few matches. He is also being a bit reactive when challenged.
16.18 The Horse has now fouled a Norwich player and we have a group of 8 or 9 players pushing and shoving!!!!

Come on girls we are here for the football.
16.18 Super Geoff was lucky not to get a yellow for his part in that episode.
16.20 Another silly foul by Horsfield and now he has got a yellow.

What is he on
16.21 Come on Brace make a decision we need a fresh man up front and The Horse is going to get sent off if he is not rested.
16.22 He must have heard me. Bazza and Stan the Man are coming on for The Horse and Rufus Brevett. So its 4-3-3.
16.28 The ball comes in to Bazza Hayles near the edge of the Norwich penalty area and he takes it on his chest. He turns but he has two Norwich defenders climbing all over him. Bazza is still standing, its like a circus strongman act. oh! a bad sliding tackle takes Bazza's legs and it must be a penalty.

What? The Ref, who was standing within five feet of the action, says a goal kick!!!!. Perhaps he was paying us back for not giving The Horse two yellows.
16.30 Karl the German takes a long ball beats the offside trap. What? The Ref says he was offside. AAAHHH.
16.32 Goalllllll!!!!!! Karl the German has saved our bacon!! Norwich 1 Fulham 1.

Hayward took one of Fulhams umpteen corners Cookie headed it on to the middle of the penalty area there was a melee and the ball came loose. It was only a half chance but Karl wacks the ball in the back of the net like a true striker.
16.38 Subs for Norwich Daryl Sutch and Chris Llewellyn for Lee Marshall and Adrian Forbes
16.39 Stan the Man has the ball at the edge of the box, he shots for goal oowww just past the post.
16.41 Maik Taylor comes out with Dalglish running at the goal. Maik goes down and gets the ball. (oh that doesn't sound nice)
16.43 Iwan Roberts beats the Fulham/Welsh national team defence but shots over the bar.
16.44 Stan the Man puts over a nice cross to Karl The German but a Norwich player gets there first
16.46 Karl The German is subbed by Sean Davis

Well Karl seems to have had a good first match and we wish him well for the rest of the season.
16.47 Stan the Man is putting himself about and is playing better than at any time of his loan
16.47 Bazza Super Sub has taken the ball on his chest forced himself in to the box beaten two players, who were trying to kick him to pieces, and smashed the ball in with his left foot YEH SUPER BAZZA
16.47 What a goal Bazza could have gone down under the tackles but he kept going and its Norwich 1 FULHAM 2
16.52 The whistle has gone and THE CHAMPIONS have won 2-1. What style 1-0 down and we go off winning 2-1. Oh happy days.
16.53 13 matches unbeaten!!!! What a team well done you Whites. I am on cloud nine
