Norwich's strange attempt to get an added advantage at home

The 'Canaries' took the bizarre step at the beginning of the season, as pink is thought to reduce testosterone levels and that that would give an advantage to the Norwich players against them.

Speaking to the 'BBC', a sport psychology expert explained the reasoning behind the colour's effect.

"Pink has an effect, not because it is pink, but because it's linked to childhood experiences." Dr Alexander Latinjak said.

"If it is true that pink lowers testosterone levels then the coach should know exactly how to use that advantage tactically."

Despite this, the side lost their first home game of the season 3-4 to West Brom, suggesting that the move is not very effective.
