Norwich City 3-2 Manchester City | Michael Bailey - Premier League Verdict

[@richardnoy1736]

I echo the thoughts of "Yellowhammer20)", Michael. My Dad (died 1991) worked on Prince of Wales Road within earshot of the Carrow Road roar. He used to work out what the score was from the noise and then, when they opened the gates with 15 minutes to go, ready for the crowd to leave...he would sneak in! Now "upstairs", I believe he's having the heckofaparty. In Teemo Pukki we have another Terry Bly (and more!). Don't EVER, Michael, stop providing these sensitive and emotional insights into our beloved team - you verbalise what other can only see with their eyes. Thank you for your skills, used on behalf of those of us exiled a long way from our home county.

[@ianeverett458]

Here here. Michael's videos are one of the first things I look for after the game as they are honest, passionate and intelligent. The emotion is a massive part of what makes them.

[@michaeljbailey]

Thank you so much for sharing Richard - and your kind words. 💛💚

[@gingerking76]

Please forgive my intrusion, but I thought the approach to your role around the time you lost your Dad was incredibly commendable. I imagine you are aware, but both the intrinsically professional and personal approach you took to your reporting during that time (and do, in general, btw) was very apparent. It was moving for many, myself included. Whilst the loss of a loved one never true stops hurting, moments in life that bring us closer to their memory and can be somewhat a liberation from our grief. I may be wrong, but what comes through your reports is that the amazing journey that NCFC have been on since has been a truly cathartic experience for you personally. The good things that happen in life help us treasure what is truly important. I thank you for sharing your experience and allowing the personal nature of your thoughts to cross over into your professional role. Respect to your Dads memory. I’m sure many have gained from your journey, Micheal. All the Best OTBC.

Brilliant as always MB, you father would be proud, God bless u.

[@krisstoney7644]

Excellent summary Michael and no need to apologise for the touching reference to your Dad. Football at it's best evokes emotion 💛💚 OTBC

[@northyorkshirecanary3750]

Thanks Michael. A great report as usual. Think that rates as the best city performance in my 50 years of supporting the club along with the win at Bayern Munich. A fantastic effort from the players and praise too for the Daniel Farke and his coaching team for the preparation of the players and the way the team executed the game plan. Otbc !

[@namakudamono]

Thanks Michael.Excellent summary, as always. It was a nice touch referencing your Dad - he must be loving this!

[@simonmeadows4436]

Excellent summary Report Michael,many thanks💛💚

[@steverichards575]

Looking forward to your 1 st 1000 views Michael . Excellent report again . Carry on sir .

[@kbane25]

Awesome, didn't expect that, so pleased and very very proud Otbc keep it up, well deserved

[@julianroberts698]

I too got emotional how couldn't yoo after watching that? I also agree best atmosphere ever and I've been going quite a lot longer than you. Don't know if we will ever experience anything like it again but i do hope so

[@geoffpoole483]

Manchester City had won their nine previous away games. Fantastic result.

[@dannytanti7762]

This seems an age ago, what a superb day.

[@ShaneHockey]

Great video Michael time for us to buy tickets for Bayern Munich away in the UCL next year

[@michaeljbailey]

ShaneHockey1139 Haha!

[@colinbland3716]

Stuart Webber and Daniel Farke to be given the freedom of Norwich. So proud of the boys. How do they keep unearthing such talented players at rock bottom prices? They then improve them and get them playing Farkeball. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks but just look at Alex Tettey. He now passes forward, lol. They are displaying their talent in front of the world and I hope they stay with us for the remainder of this season. It would be such a shame for any of them to leave in January. OTBC

[@michaeljbailey]

Colin Bland I just don’t see anyone leaving in January, especially if things keep going so well - because that would mean their values would all be higher come the summer.

[@colinbland3716]

Thanks for the response Michael. I think you are correct my only reservation is teams can be desperate in January and if we get a silly, high bid then given the self-funding model we might just accept it.

[@michaeljbailey]

Colin Bland True of course, and that’s why you can never say never.

[@geddebbyking2584]

@@michaeljbailey When we do get offers, will the players want to leave though??? This is all a bit special (they'll probably never ever find this kind of atmosphere, love and support again in their careers - seems unheard of in my experience) and I can only see them leaving for Champions League football.

[@julnsey]

Far better report than the arrogant 90mins crew!

[@eddivens4915]

I didn't even dream that one I am still in shock

[@michaeljbailey]

Edd Ivens Haha! Nope. It really happened Edd.

[@the_luggage]

Wow, sounds like quite a performance... You've made me regret living a few thousands miles away. Time to fly back to The Nest methinks.

[@7915thomas]

Buendia looked like.a Man City player today. Him, Godfrey and Amadou are top 6 players, keep it quiet.

[@alanalan9242]

I'm convinced Buendia will one day play for Real Madrid or Barcelona. I just hope we can keep him for a little while longer and get a shedload of money when he finally does go. The commentators are saying how out of position the Man City defenders were for the second goal, but that is partly due to the brilliant flick by Buendia that took him past his man and completely changed in a flash the situation on the pitch. IMO, that second goal has not got anywhere near the praise it deserves, including Pukki for having the intelligence to pick out Cantwell rather than shoot. A fabulous performance by the whole team.

[@michaeljbailey]

alan brayne Completely agreed over the second goal.

[@michaeljbailey]

7915thomas Getting harder to do that!

[@roberttreborable]

Brilliant Isn't It....

[@dubaicanary2016]

Well Michael, wake up...……. pinch yourself and ask DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN ??

[@johnlyons4836]

Wow what a spanking
