Nope. Harold definitely touched down at HR in 1966. It was my 1st season of regularly supporting after having my interest in football massively raised by the world cup win that year. I can recall Harold Wilson and City director, John Camkin, wearing identically coloured rain coats standing side...

The days when the Cobblers went from Div 4 to Div one and back down to Div 4 in about 7 seasons !

Yes. The 2-1 win against Bayern was a feather in the cap but only window dressing for the 6-1 hammering we got in Munich. 4-0 down in the 1st half before Ernie Hunt scored for us. Still, it was terrific to see the likes of Beckenbauer and Gerd Muller at HR. Hope those times can return at the CBS...

My partner has a bias towards Norwich given that she was born and bred in the fair city. Having said that, she is not particularly bothered if we dont watch a televised game. Took her to the game at Carrow road last January and sat with the Cov fans. She was well put off by the utter foul...

Lose all your breakfast healthy eating points for consuming Weetabix. Oatibix far better for your belly. Been eating them (with a few spoonfuls of granola) for years !

Used to watch Star Soccer at roughly 2pm on a sunday afternoon followed by either Ipswich or Norwich on Anglia tv at 3pm. At the time we lived high up in Allesley Park and received a rather fuzzy Anglia tv signal through the back of the 625 line aerial. Was better than nothing I guess.

Watched the four episodes that were available on iplayer and thoroughly enjoyed them. Shame the final episode isnt available until next Sunday.

I'm guessing 21.5 years will be drastically reduced on appeal. Hope not...

Night time oncoming drivers who put their lights on main beam a second before you actually cross over with them... Absolutely no time to reciprocate the action by slamming your own lights on full as they are gone by then. The temptation is to do a hand brake turn and chase after them, lights...

I was in the Kop and the lads in front of me had just got their half time beers in despite it still being the tail end of the 1st half. Gibbo puts the ball into the net for 3-0 and 6 or7 paper cups of M&Bs finest went flying into the air ! Gibbos hat trick goal in the 2nd half was scored with...

Not much of a drinker these days but a meet up in the New Year would be great. We might still be top of the league by then !

Not particularly good. I'd be refused an hgv licence if I was to apply for one. I was down for 3 wires to be fitted to my ticker but only 2 were actually put in place due to the AF. The technician explained it to me as he was carrying out the procedure and I didnt take on board the reason. I'll...

Had a pacemaker fitted yesterday at the Norfolk & Norwich hospital. It was due to my heart slowly getting worse through atrial fibrillation over a number of years. Procedure was about 2 hours and slightly uncomfortable but not painful. Not sure what to expect in terms of improved health going...

Near me in North Norfolk is a Waitrose supermarket. While driving past the entrance on the A149 (North Walsham to Cromer road) I get utterly pissed off with shoppers there pulling out in front of me onto the main road like they're entitled to do because their 4x4s or Audi's are 'obviously...

Going to give it a look tonight or tomorrow. Is it serious drama or light hearted ?
