You didn't think we'd leave this season unfinished did you? The On The Ball team convene for one final time this season to talk through a weird Norwich City season, taking in the Hoff's departure, the short rein of Wilshere, Knapper's gamble, departing players and the shape of the squad.

Host Ryan Livermore is joined by Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders to formally announce the OTB Player of the Season (sponsored by Farming Simulator 25) , hand out their awards (Best Game, Worst Mistake, Best Rallying Call, Best Schadenfraude) and look back at the good, the bad and the 3-5 against Portsmouth of an up-and-down campaign.

Plus, there's time to go back over some patchy predictions (featuring Liam Gibbs), get singed by a hot potato in a new quiz from Ryan, and pitch a sponsorship offer to David Bentley. Thank you to all for another highly enjoyable season (we had fun anyway), see you in August to do it all over again!

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.

Host Ryan Livermore, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders reflect on the rights and the wrongs of the big decision, debate the legacies of departing stars, worry about the possibility of Daniel Farke having scurvy, and the latest bout of fully-seated comic acts to be performed at The Riverside.

Zero points and eight conceded - that's probably not the Easter we all had in mind. Hot off the heels of a 1-3 defeat at Millwall, which itself came off pretty sharply after a 3-5 at home to Portsmouth, the On The Ball podcast dissects Norwich City's terrible slump in form.

Host Ryan Livermore, Craig Draycott and Steve Sanders chat youth v experience, set-piece woes, bad starts, and crosses, and what this all might mean for next season's chances.

Plus, rolling through who to keep and who to shift for next season, the players and managers who never represented Norwich City but should have, and adding items to the club shop.

Is that it then? Well yeh, probably... Norwich City's play-off dream all but died on a sunny afternoon in Plymouth, as the Canaries lost 2-1 in a limp display at the Championship's bottom club on Saturday.

The On The Ball podcast, featuring a panel of host Ryan Livermore, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders analyse the Canaries' troubling return to old away game woes, fragile confidence, Kenny the sacrificial lamb, Sargent's two-touch beauty, and Norwich City's new Mr Wright.

Plus, community heroes, Onel gets nearer to needing a social media intervention, getting up close to a wedding proposal (in a Canary suit), whippets, and Ryan, Ed Sheeran and Ben Godfrey convene on the world's least enticing hill.

The last couple of weeks haven't exactly gone as planned for Norwich City. But why review just one depressing result when you can pick the bones out of three!

That's what this week's On The Ball podcast - with Ryan Livermore in the host's chair alongside Dan Brigham and Steve Sanders - attempts to do and with the play-offs seemingly now a pipe dream for this season, the panel delve deep into the project: Is Hoffball better than the Wagner-vision? Is the short-term pain worth it for the long-term gain? And, of course, what do the numbers say?

Plus, The Brigham Rule and the slimline penalty areas, contract conundrums, Northampton Town spin-off podcasts, and you're guaranteed a top-tier podcast when you have a man literally listing off positions on the football pitch.

Is there anything worse than conceding a last-minute equaliser? Conceding a last minute equaliser when you've failed to run the clock down and you're playing ten men? Yes, probably that. The On The Ball podcast team reflect on a painful finale in the 1-1 draw for Norwich City at Blackburn Rovers at the weekend.

Steve Sanders, Zoe Morgan and Ryan Livermore discuss the right time and the wrong time for Hoffball, feel sad for the short-lived joy of Crnac, and posit the theory that Angus Gunn wasn't Scottish enough to avoid punishment on Saturday.

Plus, VAR in the Championship rears its head, choosing between your three favourite children (Sainz, Sargent and Nunez) and one man's struggle to name anything that you might find in a washbag

Josh Sargent keeps scoring on Saturdays so the On The Ball podcast is forced to keep saying nice things about him. This week it was his brace that helped see off Stoke City at Carrow Road, in a 4-2 win that keeps the Canaries in the play-off chase. But is all this not getting injured and playing football going to entice other clubs?

Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan debate the Sargent ratio, pile the praise on our young full-backs (but are less complimentary about Stoke), and ask how many laws of physics Oscar Schwartau defied to put that chance over the bar.

Plus, birthday cakes with faces on them, how much respect should you show Lungi, goose noises, injured pigeons, more accidental shade thrown on the farming community, and the star-studded line-up at Pete Dye's 60th bash.

Oh Jack, what have you done...? The On The Ball podcast reacts to an impressive groin stretch from Norwich City's full-back but a less than impressive penalty concession, which resulted in two points dropped in a 1-1 draw with Derby County at the weekend.

Once they'd got over that, the panel of Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Dave Powles got to task with praising Sargent (again), anticipating the return of Sainz, and grading the transfer window, and the Canaries' transparent out-with-the-old, in-with-the-young approach (including a new defensive midfielder!).

Plus, Vithushan Ehantharajah lauds Darren Eadie, smelly scarves, bleeding fingers, some unrecognisable Simon and Garfunkel, and the only person in the whole of Norfolk to spot Gary Doherty's pre-corner routine...

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 youngsters: Schwartau's swashbuckling display in midfield; Crnac's star role from the bench; Mahovo's assured debut; and Dobbin getting off the mark. The panel debate whether there's enough there, with all the returning players, for a play-off push after all.

Plus, big wins and big defeats from the past in Ryan's quiz, talking up Onel's testimonial, Sargent's 50/50 record, mascot battles, moobing it into the net, and big Norwich City personal news from one of the panel...

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 on the Canaries this (don't say transition) season of all (don't say transition) seasons.

Plus, some love for departing captain Grant Hanley, your first Jurasek Park puns as City's new Czech signing arrives, Connor goes misty-eyed over the Spurs buffet, and victory is won by a matter of centimetres in Ryan's quiz about The Tall Boys.
