    Is Norwich sold out?

    Previously unaware of the existence of Bier Draak so one to check out when I'm in the city sometime soon. Frustratingly, I cant make the Norwich game as I regularly quiz on monday nights. Bolleaux....

    Things that annoy you

    The practice would soon stop if the ticket checker charged the wankers full fare for the spare seat they're selfishly taking up. Horrible bastards.

    Snow storm

    All quiet on the Eastern front so far. A bit of rain but no need to go building an ark.... if the forecasters are to be believed 🤔

    My round

    Can you get me in a few pints of Murphy's oyster stout. Utterly delicious if you enjoy a glass of the black stuff 👍

    Terry Yorath - RIP

    When Jimmy Hill had the Everton/Sunderland final score flashed up on the scoreboard during THAT game against Bristol City, Terry was on the pitch just in front of me where I was standing on the Sky Blue terrace. When he turned round and read that Everton had won, his extremely broad grin was a...

    Boxing Day Matches - The Memories.

    Definitely WASNT Boxing Day !! It was the 27th and played QPR on the 26th. Doesnt seem feasible that top flight football was played on consecutive days but that's how it was then.

    Things that annoy you

    The On The Beach tv advert drives me up the fucking wall. The fat family are off on their holidays and claim to have 'free' airport lounge access. It's the arrogant smirk on all their faces but particularly on the chubby boys chops that does my head in. Greedy fat little shit.... Advert totally...

    For those that remember 1967

    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...

    For those that remember 1967

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

    The bitterness...

    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...

    Does your wife/partner like football?

    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...

    Things that annoy you

    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 !

    Blues (A) on ITV

    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.
