And just like that, there is hope again. Norwich City have recovered from their Vicarage Road hangover by doing what little imagined they would last week — by being good again (with a helping hand from Jovon Makama). It feels like a corner has been turned.Join Ryan Livermore, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan for an "end-of-the-year special" which is being used to justify an exceedingly long podcast that covers near perfection, marvellous messrs Makama & Mattsson, and answers the question: who on earth

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
