On The Ball - A show about Norwich City

It's the final On The Ball podcast of the year, but there hasn't been a huge amount of festive cheer on the pitch from Norwich City in the last week or two, culminating in Sunday's 2-1 defeat at home to Burnley. So the panel take matters into their own hands... Steve Sanders, Ryan Livermore, Zoe Morgan and Dan Brigham finish with the week's woes and the FA's strange retrospective four-match ban for Kenny McLean to take on the more enjoyable task of looking back at some of the big moments of 2024 and putting in a few wishes for the year ahead, including winning at Elland Road and the end of Samba De Janeiro as we know it (note: these may not be the views of the entire panel). Plus, wins, fails and hay bails in the latest Farming Simulator update, Wagner's cry of 'get it in the box' gets another airing, plenty of mooing and a long overdue mention for Stuart Nelson. Enough merriment to see you through to the New Year! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Not a bad week to be a Norwich City fan, with 10 (ten) goals to shout about, to yield six very welcome points, which ended their winless run in emphatic style. Ryan Livermore takes over hosting responsibilities, and is joined on the panel by Steve Sanders and Dan Brigham, to discuss a potential coming of age moment for Ante Crnac, bask in more Sainz ridiculousness, ponder how to get four into three in the Canaries' midfield, and all smugly agree that they'd rather not be in the top six if it means just watching some fun football thanks. Plus, the greatest new feature on farming you'll hear on a podcast this season, goats on trampolines, the rise of the dressing room dirge, the impossible choice between Stephen Fry and Ed Balls, and focusing on Ashley Barnes' hair...obviously.

As Norwich City ease out of their injury crisis (putting aside the news about the newly stricken Glen Riddersholm), the On The Ball podcast takes on a more optimistic tone, following a creditable 2-2 draw away at West Brom at the weekend. Steve Sanders is joined by Zoe Morgan, Ryan Livermore, and BBC Radio Norfolk's Chris Goreham to herald a goal for Emi Marcondes, the successful return of Jack Stacey, and Hoffball twitching back to life. Plus, Chris stands up for the goalkeepers' union, Kenny returns with what could be his biggest apology yet, Alex Neil and the hostage situation, and Ryan's 'time to shine' comes back around again in a fiendishly difficult quiz.

How many times can you say the word 'injury' in one podcast? Well quite a lot, as it turned out in the latest episode of the On The Ball Norwich City podcast. It followed a 2-0 defeat to Bristol City, Norwich City's third loss in a week, a week in which they've had to do without Angus Gunn, Kenny McLean, Marcelino Nunez, Josh Sargent and a supporting cast. Steve Sanders, Zoe Morgan and Dan Brigham lament their collective and individual losses, and try to keep some perspective in amongst it all. Plus, rating the Hoff's first 15 games, a new feature with the update you didn't know you needed on Moritz Leitner's Instagram, filling up Anis Ben Slimane with fuel, Dan has the unenviable choice of Warnock or Wilder, and huge news from the world online farming.
