Why Norwich are the best promoted team?

Simply this:

Norwich 3-1 Swansea
Norwich 2-1 QPR
QPR 1-2 Norwich
Swansea 2-3 Norwich

Also
8th - Norwich Points 35
11th - Swansea Points 30
16th - QPR Points 21

My case has been made, your thoughts?

I think it's a bit more complex than just that to be honest, I'd say the single. Biggest thing would be their away form, so far they've plasyed 13 games, won 4 drawn 4 and lost 5, that's a pretty decent away record, I think Man Utd only won 5 on the road last season, Norwich are a team that fight to the death and always have a go and due to the nature of the Premier League it means they'll get more wins than losses at home, their approach to away games is refreshing though, with the exception of the really big clubs, they've went out to win games away from home rather than not to lose them, this shows the Martin O'Neill influence in Paul Lambert

What about Norwich City 1-2 Leicester City?

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yes, Norwich are the best promoted side, because they're the highest in the league. I think it's as simple as that.

Whether by the end of the season will be the best side promoted, we can't know.

We are purely the best promoted side because we have AARON WILBRAHAM

i acutally think swansea are the better side..

think we can all agree QPR are the worst

Think we'll have to wait until the end of the season to answer this. But I agree the have been the best so far, even though they do have inferior squad compared to the other 2, on paper!

Reason QPR are the worst is because they have an idiot in the shape of Barton who none of the other players respect. Oh and they have pretty poor defence. Swansea are definitely much better on the eye than Norwich, but perhaps Norwich are higher in the table because they compete better physically and in the air.

I think QPR's problem is they are not a team, Norwich's side has travelled up the league's together and Swansea's team is intact from last year as well. QPR's side is a mash-up of other team's rejects.

That's the stereotype about Norwich but we went to Swansea and completely outworked and out passed them. We had 53% possession.

That's a very simplistic view and one that doesn't always give an accurate account of things

I believe Liverpool are a better side than Chelsea and Arsenal, they have even beat them twice at Stamford Bridge and at Arsenal, Liverpool for some reason can't convert the amount of chances they make however and find themselves below them in the league table

They look like they have more unity, make more chances, lose a lot less goals than both those sides.

I just don't think that simplistic view tells the true story

Swansea are the best team for me, play the better football but haven't had much luck thus far.

You have obviously never watched Norwich play this season. Outplayed Swansea at football twice!

Only watched them live 5 times so you're right.

Stoke
United
Chelsea
West Brom
Tottenham

Fair enough but we do play good football. We're just more efficient than teams like Swansea. If you saw Stoke you must realise we weren't lucky that day

The 1-1 result against Stoke was the right scoreline as far as i'm concerned.

There's still a lot of the season left so we'll see come May who are the most efficient but Swansea do play a better style of football.

Oh yeah Swansea play a better style of football but we're far more entertaining to watch than them

I think by the end of the season Swansea will finish highest from the promoted teams.

No, you might have more shots on goal than them but you don't look as skillful, certainly a good team spirit to get Norwich where they are, but no-on in their right mind is going to watch Norwich over Swansea this season, too many tall players on your team playing long ball. Swansea > Norwich!!!

Long Ball??
We play to the opponents weakness and when we need to go long ball we can but we play good football all the time. Just ask Man Utd today

You played alright but Swansea caused us a lot more problems.

Norwich might just be another Stoke, aggresive tackles, big long balls and aerial presence, hopefully you won't leave players with broken legs though...

Olly - nothing to worry about there. I would remind all of the wise words of one of the greatest managers in the history of the game, Liverpool's Bob Paisley:

''It's not about the long ball or the short ball, it's about the right ball.''
