What They're Saying
Norwich City manager Alex Neil (via Evening Times): "[Last week] I was signing things at Ipswich for Ipswich fans and the ones behind them were booing me while I was doing it, so that is all part of the game, it is that whole sort of pantomime villain type thing. But the good thing is [these games] are played in the right spirit by both teams, but equally are still really, really determined to beat each other and that is what makes it such a great game."
Ipswich Town manager Mike McCarthy (via ITV): "I enjoyed his [Neil] company after the game last Saturday, and I enjoyed his comments and what he said. I can generally judge the person by that as much as by meeting them and he's a nice guy, a nice fella. I think we can go there [Carrow Road] and win. I might as well not bother if I didn't think we could. We played really well last week, there's nothing between us on that performance."
