    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.

    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.

    if there was a fully fit team

    Looks like everybody has forgotten Jodi Jones already. If he was fit, he would also be in contention for a place

    West End.

    The one exception I can remember was the 1st home game after winning the 87 cup semi final. Absolutely electric atmosphere before the game against QPR started with the West End leading the singing. In turn, it was Scoreboard, scoreboard give us a song... Then it was Sky Blue, Sky Blue give us a...

    Arsenal had under soil heating decades before us.

    Fans back in !!! kinda

    Heard this evening from a Norfolk FA official that the main FA is hovering over the cancel button for grass roots football for this season. The league that I'm an official in looks likely to get games played this weekend but after that is very uncertain. Seems players, officials and the few...

    Fans back in !!! kinda

    Cant be bothered to check back so apologies if this has already been mentioned but Norwich and Middlesborough both seemed to put their fans in an area where they looked rather close together. By contrast, Blackpool had their 1000 dotted all over the stadium. A friend who went to the Carrow Road...

    The penalties in the United game

    So the guy brought down gets injured in the process (quite possible) then has to get up and take a penalty. Never going to happen. Besides that, Manure lost so that's just fine by me.
