Here we go again. The now familiar routine of a Norwich City defeat continued at Carrow Road on Saturday, as the Canaries fell 2-0 to Hull to make it a James Bond start to the season at home: 0-0-7. It's officially a relegation dogfight now ... only without the fight part.The On The Ball podcast regulars Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders try to find a new way to ask how Liam Manning is still here, relive Mark Attanasio whistlestop tour of The Fine City, and puzzle over how a team can be quite so catastrophically bad after half-time.Plus, Shane Duffy in Pulp Fiction, Kensell's coup, Wednesday on a Wednesday — and don't bother with Saturday Kitchen this week because the latest episode of ChatGPT Get Banged features a detailed recipe for a lasagne. Bon appetit! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#190 The Crisis Pod Special
Desperate times call for desperate measures, so please indulge this concept album of On The Ball episodes: a football podcast that doesn't talk about the football.Frankly, what is going on away from the pitch at Norwich City is far more interesting right now anyway. So Steve Sanders, Maddie McKenzie, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan eschew more talk about better support for Josh Sargent, giving up goals and three at the back for a look ahead to Mark Attanasio's fleeting visit to Norwich and a chance to ask their own burning questions.Those questions take in sporting directors going AWOL, an unsackable manager, recruiting ourselves in the foot, the world's most unpopular seating plan, and lobbing tennis balls. But with enough levity to make that 63 minutes fly by — honest! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#189 Plunging new depths in our yellow submarine
Just when Liam Manning thought it couldn't get worse ... it got worse! The On The Ball podcast reacts to his Norwich City team succumbing to a sixth(!) straight home defeat against his old club Bristol City, going down 1-0 at the weekend.Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan try and stay upbeat (with the words of Steve's uncle ringing in their ears), assess where the makings of this latest loss stemmed from, channel their inner Kenny with some pointing (fingers of blame, that is) and wonder just what is up with Jeffrey Schlupp.Plus, a slightly posh Adam Drury joins as the ChatGPT Get Banged mystery hots up, Mexican half-time obstacle courses, and Dan appoints a new overlord after being let down by the current bloke.

#188 The end of the great derby run
We hate to be the ones to break it to you, but Norwich City's long, long, 16-year unbeaten run against Ipswich Town is finally over after the Canaries lost 3-1 at Portman Road on Sunday.Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham and Steve Sanders don't have too much time to dwell on another dispiriting performance though, when there are murmurs of sackings in the air. The On The Ball podcasters discuss where we go from here, and who of Ben Knapper, Liam Manning and the squad should carry the can.Plus, a first-hand account of the announcement that 3,000 home fans are getting booted out of the River End, should referees be allowed to be hench, a thrilling conclusion to Ryan's football darts quiz, and mention of Nunez brings out the bleep machine...

#187 Dodging curries and derby worries
It wasn't fun and it wasn't pretty, but ultimately they did what they had to do. Not a description of this week's On The Ball podcast, but Norwich City's performance in their away point at Stoke.Ryan Livermore, Steve Sanders and Connor Southwell try not to copy and paste the review of the Coventry game as they talk about another dogged 1-1 draw with an unconvincing performance, get stuck into the numbers that show we're up against more shots than in Saving Private Ryan, and ponder where Liam Manning goes from here.Plus, there's a big game on Sunday that deserves our attention, the shiny new career of Sammy Clingan, and getting the final word on Connor's flavour phobia.
