    Unusual Events

    I remember Smiler saying they were heading to that Watford game and diverted once they heard of the postponement. They headed to Northampton v Torquay along with a good few other City fans and went in the away fans section where they met up and talked to Helen Chamberlain. No idea of the match...

    My favourite goal

    Loved the Stuart Linnel commentary to the Luton goal - agree it was so crucial and again West End went mental. Distinctly remember Les Sealeys reaction in the Luton goal. He desperately wanted us to go down after falling out with the Cov crowd when he was one of our keepers. Killers very late...

    Badger

    Very sad news to hear from Smiler of the passing of Kev this week. No idea if he regularly used SBT but he would have been lurking there somewhere causing havoc in a highly amusing way from time to time. I knew him from the GMK/Rivals days where he had so many different aliases that it was...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Binge watched the 8 episodes of The Gentlemen this week. Absolute quality series and has Guy Ritchies stamp all over it ! Vinny Jones, as usual, was more or less playing himself and it really worked well.

    Best place in Cov to watch City games?

    I've also been to all 5 Wembley games up to now but got to miss this one as, due to a significant birthday, I'm being taken to Switzerland by train on Saturday, 20th April. Absolutely gutted but the only way I could make Wembley would be a total, country wide and Eurostar strike ! Oh well... I'm...

    Leicester points deduction

    In Norwich, the Ipswich fans were known as the Bin Men for a few years. Came about from an episode of Suffolk based antique drama Lovejoy. One of Ian Mcshanes cohorts went looking in a bin for something, found an Ipswich scarf and promptly put it round his neck 😁

    QF Draw

    Couldn't remember which year that was but I was there in the middle of the South Bank. All went OTT with the Old Bill at the back of the terrace before the game started. Bits of 4x2 were broken off the ironwork by our firm and then grabbed by the coppers and swung around with gay abandon...

    Sky Blue Song

    I'd much sooner sing a rousing chorus of the Ying Tong song by the Goons.

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    League promotion every time. We're not going to win the FA cup anytime soon while the likes of the Mancs or Liverpool are still in the competition. Just one season in the Prem plus parachute payments will do wonders for the clubs finances.

    Match Thread Norwich City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 3rd Feb

    The Murderers also known as the Gardeners Arms depending on which side of the pub sign you're looking at. Former landlord offed his wife and DIDN'T get executed as he claimed his wife was a bad 'un. I've used the pub many times and it's well known for it's great selection of real ales.

    Debuts

    Stuart Pearce's 2nd game for us was away at Luton. Scored a diving header, worthy of Keith Houchen, into his own net. Still won the game 4-2 though !

    Transfer Rumour Fadz to Blackburn

    George Curtis was the type of player who, if an oppo forward needed totally cleaning out, George would be the man to do it. Take your pick if it was row Y or row Z
