So long Liam Manning, we hardly knew ye. The On The Ball team reacts after an eighth (EIGHTH!) straight defeat at Carrow Road to start the season saw the axe eventually, and almost inevitably, fall on Norwich City's (now former) head coach.

Steve Sanders, Zoe Morgan, Dan Brigham and Connor Southwell analyse what went wrong and whether anything went right in his 17 games, why it's a great big bloody shame it didn't work out, and pick the bones out of the Leicester defeat that sealed his fate.

Plus, there's a run through all your favourite and least favourite names in the frame (there's a few you'll have heard of), a few Warnock and non-Warnock suggestions for the next boss from our listeners, the week in Vlad, and a moustachioed gent shows up on the team coach to give Wes and Holty a steer in the right direction in ChatGPT Get Banged.

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!

And the Liam Manning era has lift off. After opening weekend had some podcasts (not this one, obviously...) worrying about Norwich City's prospects this season, a pair of 2-1 away wins at Watford and Portsmouth have got things back on the rails.

The On The Ball panel of host Ryan Livermore and guests Craig Draycott, Maddie McKenzie and Steve Sanders toast the hero of Fratton Park, Big Vlad, and wonder if pragmatism over idealism is the way forward. There's also some Nick Stanley redemption and a warm hello to Diallo.

Plus, a Norwich v Boro game without Jonny Howson, knock-knock run with Leroy Lita, the second coming of Tzolis, some less-than-classic names from Norwich City past in Ryan's quiz, and Maddie makes the ultimate call on the Panenka in the new feature/hit gameshow 'Wright Or Long'.

After the pre-season excitement came the inevitable disappointment of the action. The On The Ball podcast takes a look back at a (familiar) Norwich City opening day defeat at home to Millwall that just about took on the dictionary definition of 'anticlimactic'.

Host Ryan Livermore and panellists Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders pick out the positives (we're looking at you, Josh Sargent), remind everyone it's not time to panic/scrap the manager's system and philosophy just yet, run the rule over some of the new lads, and ask whether a different pre-season might have yielded a different result.

Plus, new feature 'Useful or Useless Mulumni' assesses the cult status of two of Norwich City's Class of 2021, there's a new half-time competition to get excited about, and on a scale of 'very to 'extremely', just how embarrassing is it to have a pop star in your squad? And it's Episode 2 of the mystery thriller everyone east of Swaffham is talking about: it's 'Chat GPT, Get Banged', and McNally's entered the building...

The club's Championship-winning season came to a close with a draw at Barnsley but Michael Bailey has assembled a winning team of key players from the Athletic's Norwich City podcast. Joining the celebrations: Steve Sanders, Jon Rogers, and Stuart Hodge.

It's the podcast equivalent of bringing board games to school, and we make no apologies for the end-of-term giddiness. We hope you enjoy our round-up of an unusual, but incredibly successful, year for the Canaries as much as we enjoyed making it.

Congratulations to our award-winners, with a couple of obvious exceptions (apologies to them). Here's to a fruitful season of transfer business and a strong start to life back in the Premier League.

New season! New manager! New players! New features! Same old podcasters banging on about Norwich City!

The On The Ball Norwich City podcast is back for the 2025/26 season. Host Ryan Livermore is joined by Steve Sanders, Zoe Morgan and Dan Brigham to look back at a big summer of change, assess the club's prospects under a new head coach (it's Liam Manning in case you've slept through the last couple of months), work out who on earth all these new players are, and bask in the usual positivity that greets a fresh season. Mainly though, we're here for the predictions, and it's predictions we deliver.

Plus, a brand-new feature that sees Grant Holt and Wes Hoolahan getting their sleuthing on to solve a Carrow Road crime, rating the new kits, (just about) remembering the time Steve Morison came on the show, and, as it's episode one-hundred-and-eiiightyyyy, we have a special darts quiz. Simply, everything is as packed in as a Topic bicep into a yellow-and-green shirt sleeve - the 2025/26 season starts here!

The Athletic's Norwich City guru Michael Bailey is joined by Ffion Thomas and Stuart Hodge to review a week that saw Watford beat Millwall to seal their place in the Premier League and keep the title race on life support.

Norwich are still very much in the driving seat after victory over QPR at Loftus Road, but they'll be more than happy to get a helping hand from a slightly stuttering Brentford (Watford's next opponents).

And, of course, thoughts turn to next season. Who will be leaving us for pastures new? Max Aarons could well be one of those, but we'd like to see a big-money move to a serious club for the attack-minded fullback.

The Athletic's Norwich City Correspondent Michael Bailey welcomes regular guests Steve Sanders and Jon Rogers to celebrate promotion to the Premier League where everything is completely normal.

There is an elephant in the room, of course, but we'll give that short shrift as we bask in the glory of our immediate return to the top tier of the suddenly-sacred English football pyramid, and that was despite defeat at home to Bournemouth.

Watford are next at Carrow Road on Tuesday evening and there's a trip to QPR at the weekend so the team won't have had too much time to celebrate that achievement, but they'll want the title (even if our panel don't seem too fussed about it!).

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Athletic's Michael Bailey is joined by regular panellist Steve Sanders and Norwich City legend Darren Huckerby.

Promotion to the Premier League is possible even before City take to the field again, but the podcast consensus is that we'd rather do it ourselves, especially as our next match is televised.

And there's plenty of nice pundit/ruthless pundit from our chalk-and-cheese pair, the genteel Steve providing a stark contrast to Darren who shows no mercy to players or songwriters!

The Athletic's Norwich City correspondent Michael Bailey and his guests, Steve Sanders and Jon Rogers, reflect on a title race that's all but over.

Sometimes the end of a Norwich City season is all about the football, sometimes it's about the madness off it.

This is definitely one of the latter, in a week that has seen the shock departure of the head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup (less shocking six days after the fact, but we're still not over it), the instalment of the baseball cap/cardigan-wearing Jack Wilshere in the interim, and the departure of three long serving players in Angus Gunn, Onel Hernandez and Jacob 'Lungi' Sorensen.
