    Nick Platnauer

    Indeed he did. Scrambled across the turf in the goal mouth to head in the 1st goal at the Kop end in that famous 4-0 win !

    Thursday match

    I'd better get some extra Prozac in if I'm going to watch that...🤯
  3. The Great Eastern

    Robins linked with Bristol City.

    Shame Doyler has yet to get some management experience. If we dropped to League 1 and Robins walked, he'd be just the man to kick arses that needed kicking.

    If you could have one new thing at the Ricoh

    I'd absolutely love to hear that as goal celebration music !

    Recommend a beer

    I was working behind the bar at the Norwich beer festival a few years ago and there was a barrel of Saltaire Triple Chocaholic on the racking near me. Tried a half and absolutely loved it. Recommended it to punters asking for a decent stout then quickly realised thet were coming back for 2nd and...

    Football is back!!!! Premier League

    After his performance today at Anfield, Alisson could be available at a knock down price at the end of this season.

    Terry Gibson

    Gibbos 2nd goal was just before half time and loads of fans in the Kop where I was, had already bought their half time pies and beers to avoid the inevitable rush. First time I had seen many, many beers thrown into the air in celebration. Just coming up to half time and 3-0 up against the mighty...

    Terry Gibson

    The following game, we were away at Norwich and got very generously applauded onto the pitch by the home fans, purely on the strength of the 4-0 hammering we gave Liverpool the previous week.

    Drama queens

    Things must have changed since then as both Baileys and Tesco version are 17%. Bought an Asda variant last week. Drinkable but it was 15%.

    I'll bet my house that Tesco own label Irish Cream is Baileys under a different banner. Its proportionately cheaper even when u can buy proper Baileys at £12 a litre.

    I like to mix Baileys with a smaller portion of Cointreau and ice. Nightmare for my blood sugar levels but so fucking tasty. I'll try it with Tia Maria this weekend.

    Quest v Norwich

    Pretty sure Colin Murray hasn't been replaced. He didnt make Fighting Talk on 5Live yesterday either so I assume he's ill. It's either that or he was filming for Countdown on C4 as he is temporarily in the chair during lockdown #2. Nick Hewer is shielding.

    Maurice Setters R.I.P

    Yup. I was at that game too. It happened exactly as you described it Magwitch. A game we could easily have won but got done by the ball sticking on the sodden surface.

    Maurice Setters R.I.P

    What he lacked in skill, he more than made up for in Nobby Stiles type marking and aggression. Every team had one like him in the 60s. Yes, those bowed legs were quite unlike the legs of any other footballer ! RIP Maurice

    Really poor research by BBC

    For at least the 2nd time over the last few days, BBC reporting Kings Lynn reaching the FA Cup 1st round for the first time ever this season. What utter bolleaux ! They knocked us out in R.1 in the early '60s to herald in the appointment of Sir Jimmy Hill a few days later. Thus, the Linnets must...

    Men v boys

    That post mirrored my thoughts completely. No need to be crestfallen as yet. Most of us knew what was coming when we won promotion. 21st place (or above) this season will do me.

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    Bit confused by the Weetabix debate. Not heard of putting Butter and jam on one before. Do you then eat it dry like a biscuit or soak it in milk as per a normal breakfast ? Keep getting images in my head that if the eater lives in Lestah then it's normal practice to get your sister to piss on...

    Little bits of history.

    A gate was left open for people who didnt want to buy a programme at normal match admission prices. No idea if anybody marched in for free but was done to comply with the law at the time.
