Always first with the news, the Post notes Norwich's season opening draw with Wigan, yesterday. While the action on the pitch has been thoroughly analysed by the pundits, the Post notes the additional off the pitch action, which may have passed readers by:
* Paul Lambert's "more bigger moobs,now!" gesture from the touchline, captured by the Match of the Day cameras (but currently impossible to find on the interwebs - the Post has spent most of the day trying). The Post assumes that this was meant as encouragement to the players to 'puff their chests out' and show pride, but it came over a tad "Carry On". Grant Holt was not available for comment.

| "Ooh! That was never a penalty!" |
* Matt Jackson made a good stab at being "the New Neil" as a member the Radio Norfolk commentary team. Some good summarising and insight and he came over well on the radio, but he's got a bit of work to do before he can match Neil Adams' endless patience when facing up to the Canary Call audience. Thankfully nobody asked what was going on in training. It appears that Radio Norfolk are not going for a full-time replacement for "the Old Neil", preferring to rotate former players before settling on a permanent signing. On the other hand, it does raise the vaguest of possibilities that the new "New Neil" might eventually turn out to be the "Old Neil", at least once in a while.
* Wes Hoolahan has changed his name to Hula-hoop.
Carry on, City!
