On The Ball - A show about Norwich City

And so the Norwich City FA Cup dream dies for another season — at Leeds United and at the hands of the man who last got the Canaries into a quarter-final, Daniel Farke.

Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan lament a performance that didn't quite do Big Phil's yellows justice and ask what might have been if not for all the inexperience, those cursed injuries and just generally not being quite as good.

But with his 300 appearances and a new contract, the real hero of this podcast is Kenny McLean. Zoe reads a poem, the panel pays tribute and Dan does a mini quiz.

Plus looking up the table, looking down the table, and looking at a familiar journo from the land down under in ChatGPT Get Banged.

Norwich City are marching into March with two 2-0 wins this week — the latest being a win at relegation (whatever that is) rivals Leicester on Saturday.

Ryan Livermore is joined by Chris Goreham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders for the latest eulogies on the Clement revolution, some love for Paris and of course, the fun of having a centre-half playing as your number nine.

Plus, Daniel Farke standing in the way of a cup run, Gunny popping up where you least expect him, our line-ups for a Norwich welcome video, Chris Goreham atop Black Beauty and trying to settle the ultimate debate: who is the coolest Norwich City player of all time?

Some defeats are better than others and getting warmly clapped by all four sides of Carrow Road doesn't feel like the worst response to a defeat — which was the reception for Norwich City as they went down 2-1 to Birmingham on Saturday.

The On The Ball Podcast team of Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders reflects on yer classic game of two halves, and works out how and where the winning run ended. And the Sarg-a is finally over, as Josh Sargent looks set to put pen to paper on his protracted move to Toronto FC ... and gets the heartfelt farewell you would expect.

Plus, two clubs in an even worse crisis than having Liam Manning in charge, the prawn sandwich brigade gains another member, children with banners get short shrift, and everyone loves Refcam.

They're at it again. Two more wins for Norwich City in two different competitions this week, the latest for Philippe Clement's juggernaut yellows coming with a 3-1 victory over West Brom in the FA Cup on Saturday.

In round five it's Leeds and Steve Sanders, Zoe Morgan and Maddie McKenzie react hot off the press to the news of a Farke v Clement showdown at Elland Road, find time to heap more praise on the new signings, and stand aghast at the incredible start made by the Canaries' new Aussie sensation Mo Toure.

Plus, picking out the lads who need fist-pump training, Kieran Dowell posters, Alex Pritchard's imaginary wound, and a renewed request for a managerial hair swap.

Winning: it's just what we do now. The On The Ball Podcast celebrates a sixth victory in eight to open up 2026, with a no-frills 2-0 success over Blackburn at Carrow Road.

Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham and Steve Sanders zero in on some new heroes in Jose Cordoba and Anis Ben Slimane, revel in Oscar's winning role, and celebrate the potential for a new terrace hero in Mo Toure. Heck, Josh Sargent hardly even gets a mention.

Plus, a funky new pronunciation of Todd Cantwell, Bono taking corners, the cup run we all want (and now inevitably won't get), Onel's rocked up in Stoke, and never challenge Steve to anything in case he makes a quiz out of it.
