The great Brian Clough said to build a winning team you have to start with the keeper.So he bought Shilton and built from the back.Even an average team needs a solid goalie,and we haven't got one !

We lived in Walsgrave and it was peaceful and crime free. But still got burgled. My dad put barbed wire on the fence but the police told him to take it down ,so even in the 60's there were health and safety rules. We didn't have much to steal so they must have been desperate !

Its an addiction. Just like drinking or smoking but a lot worse for your health !

They said you could leave your back door open in the 60's as it was that safe.My parents tried it and we got burgled !

Fair play to Italy they stifled England and stopped us from steamrolling them. Going to be another tough game verses Scotland but can see England edging it.

I was in Aberdaron in North Wales a few years ago and a couple walked past me on the beach and he had a Cov City shirt on. I was that surprised as it was a early morning and with just a few dog walkers there,that all I said was Up The City ! He turned and laughed and went on his way. You can...

Loved Highfield Road and loved the Ricoh when we first moved in. In a way I'm like Otis as you have to move on,but nobody can take away memories can they. Stood on the Spion Kop as a kid with my dad,and then in my teenage years went in the West End with my mates. I go up where the ground used to...

Stick Status Quo track on and play it at the Ricoh: Down Down. Another reason to enjoy Wembley !

There's been a great prog on telly about the original SAS formed way back to combat Hitler etc. A few are still alive and sharp and articulate. What they did and saw was horrific but thankfully even though they lost their mates,a few lived to tell their tales.Bet they'd still be able to handle...

Mentioned this before but it fascinates me to see really old people doing stuff that would put younger people to shame. Watched a prog a while back where it showed mountaineers returning to a tough climb they did decades ago. The leader was 80 odd ! Fit as a fiddle and was ahead of much younger...

A customer today told me he is going to Wembley and he's in his eighties. He is one of those fit sprightly pensioners who does a paper round !

I'm lucky I got a hospital bed they're in short supply !

I recall a conversation with a fellow fan in the pub a couple of years ago.He said that the both of us will never see Cov City at Wembley or us back in the top flight in our lifetime. Well he's wrong on the Wembley bit and as we're both only in our sixties he may be wrong too on the top flight...

Love Darkness great band. Impressed they got them so I'll be there.

I'm gloating with us beating Gillingham on Saturday !

A friend of mine who's a Norwich fan likes to remind me that her team stuffed Sutton 8-0 in the next round after they beat us. That hurts as well !

Probably got more chance of getting the Chuckle Brothers !

If Sutton beat Arsenal in the Cup the Gooners will be after Arsene Wenger's blood !

We're acting like we're on the Titanic but ignoring the huge iceberg ahead, don't worry everything will be fine. And like the mayor in Jaws who tells everyone not to be silly,go in the water there's nothing there to worry about. In other words we know our club is fucked but we pretend otherwise...

Forest Green is in the Cotswolds and vegetarian. Not your typical football day out !
