Always enjoyed a good read and my sister bought me 2 excellent books for Christmas. One is by Billy Connolly called Tall Tales and Wee Stories,and the other CULTS about 48 of the worlds most sinister sects and organisations. A good contrast there ! Also as they knew they were shutting down...

Five years ago today that the great man passed away. My dad started taking me to watch us play at Highfield Road just after Jimmy had taken over. And it didn't take me long to become a fan of the Sky Blues as I loved everything about the place, the atmosphere and the football his teams would...

Anthony Joshua returns to the ring tonight. He's up against the tough Pulev who should give him a firm test ? But the Bulgarian reckons he can knock out AJ and after the Ruiz shock defeat we know anything could happen. Going to be an interesting fight, and not easy to predict ?

Talking to a customer today who is the same age as me and we both went to Caludon Castle school . He commented at how things have changed over the years, and how life is strange these days etc. I agreed and it got me thinking that we both were lucky in a way to be born in the fifties, and grew...

First 2 callers in to the phone- in have said they want their managers out. First up was an Arsenal fan saying their manager will get them relegated, and then on came a Wolves supporter saying time for a change at Molineux. Unbelievable even Chris Sutton said is this a wind up ? But no they...

Haven't had a beard for some years but thought I'd grow one and see how it looks ? Bit of a shock at first seeing all the grey hair ! But thought sod it I'll keep it short and neat, and like it now. Had the Father Christmas jokes off customers, but mainly positive comments. Only downside is the...

Not long now before Mike Tyson enters the ring verses Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition contest. Both fighters are in their fifties and past their best, but seem serious about putting on a real fight. As a boxing fan this fight intrigues me, more so to see if 2 ex top Pugilists can still perform in...

Got my sister to order me the new ACDC album on Amazon recently, and I felt like a kid on Christmas morning when it arrived. And it doesn't disappoint as its typical ACDC hard rock music, every track a winner. But it took me back to some years ago when I bought 2 tickets for me and my then...

Just been announced that the popular series is getting a fourth run. Attracted 2 million viewers each week, and although I'm not an angler I enjoyed watching these 2 funny blokes putting the world to right. It got me thinking what one person would you like to do a similar programme with ? It...

Tommy Hutchison 73 today. Is he our best ever player ? What a signing he was and was a fans favourite and club legend. Loved it when he'd beat a defender, and go back and do it again ! So our greatest ever player, got to be up there. ⚽️

Keiren Westwood seems to have fallen out with his manager at Sheffield Wednesday. And on social media he has said how much he loved his time here at Coventry City. Is he trying to get a return here ? 🤔

Went to a mate of mines funeral on Thursday, a friend of 40 plus years. And last night I watched the Vinnie Jones on Piers Morgan interview, where Vinnie really opened up about losing his wife, and at times got really emotional. Mega respect to him for showing his feelings on tv which couldnt...

In the pub on Saturday night a group of us were discussing great players who have turned out for us over the years. Taking it in turns we had to choose our favourite ever player not necessarily the best. I had a few players in mind but chose George Hudson as mine. A no nonsense centre forward...

A friend of mine borrowed his mate a couple of hundred quid to help him out. Told he will get it back as he was waiting for money to paid into his account etc. Heard he ripped him off and a few other people too, a really lousy bastard. That happened to me a few years back, took ages to get my...

Since the lockdown has eased we are able to get out and about more. I've been to the pub a couple of times, been out for some good walks, and met up with friends and family. But I have to admit I'm really missing going to a match, in fact to me it is without doubt the best day out. Meet a few...

Been in my new home just 5 weeks. Next door about same age as me are a Polish couple , friendly enough even though they speak broken English, and I know no Polish at all. He borrowed me his lawnmower on Saturday so I could tidy up the front garden etc. Anyway on Monday night he knocked my door...

As mentioned before me and 2 mates would go every summer to the Monsters Of Rock concert. Saw some great bands there and we always had a great time. Got me thinking about my favourite concert over the years ? Not easy picking one but the one that stands out is the Rolling Stones at the old...

Had a conversation recently with a fellow music fan. He said the best British bands in his opinion came in the decades from the sixties up to the nineties, and then stopped. So this got me thinking about my " favourite" British bands from those decades. Breaking it down to top 6 in each category...

Joe Joyce fights Michael Wallisch tonight. Live on BT Sport. A warm up for Joyce before his big fight with Daniel Dubois in October. The German has a decent record and hopefully gives Joyce a good test ? I've watched Joyce a few times on t.v. and has power but looks a bit slow and cumbersome...

As 2 managers have been sacked at Watford and Huddersfield, got me thinking about getting fired. I've been sacked a few times in the past, and at the time couldn't understand why ? I was on a building site aged about 20 and I was being trained up to be a plasterer's labourer. I was useless but...
