And then, from nowhere, came five goals. Well, not quite nowhere - the return of Josh Sargent certainly helped. And the On The Ball podcast give a returning salute to the returning, saluting hero, who bagged the opening two goals in the 5-1 win over Swansea on Saturday. Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Ryan Livermore also take a moment to heap a bit of praise on some youn

No goals, no shots on target...no worries? Ok, let's not go that far but the On The Ball podcast tries to make the case that things could be a lot worse, after Norwich City's 2-0 defeat at the hands of Sheffield United on Saturday. Ryan Livermore, Connor Southwell and Steve Sanders play the 'we've got a few injured lads' card in mitigation, and talk about whether we can be too hard

#169 May the Fors be with you

Can all of 2025 be like that please? The year of On The Ball podcasts had no other option but to get off to a cracking start after the pandemonium at Carrow Road on Saturday, Amankwah Forson's two injury-time goals completing a miraculous 2-1 win over Coventry. Steve Sanders, Zoe Morgan and Dan Brigham relive a crazy five minutes and salute a new hero, try and make sense of that On

#168 All I want for Christmas is...

Dec 16 2024 86 mins  
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 f

#167 That's enter-ten-ment

Dec 02 2024 72 mins  
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 ge

#166 A time to shine

Nov 25 2024 80 mins  
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 r

#165 Adding insults to injuries

Nov 11 2024 75 mins  
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

Football doesn't get much more thrilling than that! The On The Ball podcast somehow tries to play the follow-up act to the insane topsy-turviness of a week of following Norwich City, which culminated in a 3-3 comeback draw against Middlesbrough on Sunday. Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Maddie Mackenzie get their heads together to pour praise on the comeback Canaries, reminisce abou

#163 Splat du jour

Oct 21 2024 67 mins  
The On The Ball podcast returns from the international break to find Norwich City still hovering outside the Championship play-offs after a 1-1 draw at Stoke City.

#162 Heaven and Hull

Oct 07 2024 74 mins  
It's the feelgood pod of the year! Sometimes it's difficult to be anything but positive - and after a 4-0 win for Norwich City over Hull City, with some free-flowing, progressive football under a new coach, The On The Ball podcast has come over all glass-half-full. Host Steve Sanders, and guests Dan Brigham, Ryan Livermore and The Pink Un's Connor Southwell, get the joy of talking
