A Dull Moment

Norwich City 0-0 Walsall

'There's never a dull moment at Carrow Road.' I have probably said that a hundred times this season, using it as the default way to react to record home defeats, manager sackings and outfield players going in goal so I probably needed this.

It was a poor game. Walsall have now drawn three successive games 0-0. I am not going to use that as a stick with which to beat them, they more than deserved this point. City did not really look like breaking them down.

I noticed one woman sitting near me spent most of the first half reading the matchday programme. It was that sort of game. The rush for the half-time pie queue started a little earlier and was a little busier than usual as the inevitability that this would end 0-0 set in.

Paul Lambert, midway through the first half, reacted to one mis-placed pass by ripping off his tracksuit top in a kind of 'I really mean business now' kind of way. I now know what our new manager wears under his black tracky top.

It's not a vest, it's not a t-shirt and it isn't even just his bare skin. He had another tracksuit top on, which looked to me exactly the same design as the one he had just taken off. No wonder he was warm.

Next time I feel the urge to splutter about there 'never being a dull moment.......' I am going to remember this game.
