A reasonable barometer for how well things are going on the pitch is how much talk there is about what is going on off of it.
In recent months, probably even years, there has been so, so much to talk about around Norwich City and very little of it has been centred around matchdays.
That is, until the past 10 days or so - which is truly remarkable given the attempts of certain agents to ensure their clients remain front and centre.
And yet, off the back of three equally impressive wins - for their own reasons - the drama that felt all consuming just a week-and-a-bit ago now seems something of an afterthought.
Short of showing up Peter Odemwingie-style at Toronto's training ground, there appears to be very little Josh Sargent can do to distract from the rich vein of form City finally find themselves in.
Should it continue, he'd probably do well to trouble the back page if he even showed up on moose back in the full costume of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Rewind the clock six months and the very thought of Josh Sargent leaving was enough to make any supporter quiver in their boots.
No matter how used to flogging top talent we have become as a fanbase, over the summer, Sarge very much felt like the closest thing we had to irreplaceable - particularly after the first month of the season where he scored close to every single league goal.
Who, therefore, could have possibly pictured him having zero involvement in by far the best spell of form we've had so far this season? Certainly not me.
And yet, here we are, looking very much a team on the up, which is a huge credit to Philippe Clement.
What is most ludicrous about it all, is that all of a sudden, Phil isn't the only P word coming across the lips of the City faithful - myself included.
Clearly these lips are currently fairly firmly in front of tongues buried in cheeks.
But the very fact we're even jokingly starting to mutter about it says everything about the impact the brilliant Belgian has had since arriving in NR1.
And with each week and each positive result, these murmurs become less and less facetious.
Could we actually do it? Could we?
It almost certainly goes without saying that the resurgence is every so slightly too little, too late.
While the play-offs have seen their fair share of gatecrashers over the years, it really would take something special for City to close a gap that is still 11 points - even with the current momentum.
However, what we've seen these past few weeks has, at the very least, allowed us to start dreaming again.
All of a sudden, we seem to have the momentum of a runaway freight train, which has restored our willingness to be utterly unrealistic. And after all, this is what being football fans is all about.
Being a football fan is a beautiful thing as it gives us, as people, the licence to throw away all and any type of rational thinking and logic.
Such is this dizzy sense of delusion that I've almost started to reconsider my position on Operation Stop the Blues. Almost.
A few weeks ago the trip to Boro would have presented me with no conflicting feelings whatsoever. It was a no-brainer. Head up north, roll over, come home safe in the knowledge You Know Who are still at arm's length in the race for automatic promotion.
Now, though, I could actually be tempted by a win, who knows what could come next?
So much about Clement's reign so far has restored my belief and he is finally looking like the man to mend my broken heart over Daniel Farke.
He has united the fanbase like Farke did, he has made huge improvements in players like Farke did and he has reenergised a squad that looked devoid of ideas.
What a brilliant piece of business he is now looking.
No looking back
Following the brilliant Monday night victory over Coventry, two big talking points have dominated discussion boards and social media.
It is blindingly obvious that two blatant red cards were missed, there is little disputing this, as much as those of the Sky Blue persuasion might argue otherwise.
However, I don't have any desire to see retrospective action taken - it is utterly, utterly pointless.
Yes, I was as annoyed as anybody when we fell victim to retrospective bans last season, but I personally don't want to see football head in this direction.
Clearly what is most important is trying to get decisions right in the moment.
But equally, if an incident happens in a match, the punishment (ie a red card) should be beneficial to the wronged team, as well as a hindrance to the offenders.
In both occasions, City were wronged, but retrospectively banning Coventry players doesn't help us as they were still able to carry on playing against us.
I certainly don't want to see a team weakened purely because match officials couldn't do their job right on the day.
And no, my stance of this definitely has nothing to do with who their current league rivals are. Nothing whatsoever!
