    Cant be too many folk around who have 8 vowels in their surname.

    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

    What does this club mean to you?

    That big reserve team gate was certainly over 10,000 for Man Utd Reserves. I'm pretty sure it was the first season in the Central League after then manager, Noel Cantwell, decided it was for the best that the club was moved to a significantly more competitive reserve team league. The Football...

    It was 51,455 at HR. What was your biggest at Filbert 51,455 that the club was prepared to admit to. In all probability, for tax reasons, it was a fair few thousand more than that. Nice to see you back Hackers 😊⚽️

    Boxing day roll call

    Boxing Day games at HR when I was in my youth, bring back strong memories of the amount of hip flasks full of whisky all round the ground. I was too young to appreciate that a belly full of Scotlands finest export made even the most dire of games look good.

    Longest serving managers

    If Newcastle lose to the Mackems in the cup, Howe will be teetering right on the edge.

    The ones who got away

    I saw Ian Crook playing in a close season charity cricket game for NCFC. Whenever there was a break in play, he rushed over to the boundary where a friend supplied him with a regular stream of cigarettes. I was amazed that a pro sportsman could have such a heavy smoking habit.

    QPR Away

    Yesterday, I went with my lady to central London, parking at Epping where there is a big car park (all day was £6) and caught a seriously delayed Central Line train having to change at Leytonstone. That next train took us to our destination of Tottenham Court Road. Packed in like sardines most...

    QPR Away

    Presume there's still a 'Spoons opposite the exit to Shepherds Bush station (Central line) ? Was away fan friendly(ish) when I last saw us play QPR but wearing colours probably a bad idea. Out of the pub window, we saw the police leading the Legion out of the station and forced them into another...

    Worst kick off of all time?!

    Correctamundo. I was there and it was an evening game, midweek.
