I haven’t, although I hear it is very good - thanks for the recommendation. This week I am mostly enjoying Clausthaler Dry Hopped, which is a superb 0.5. I also have some Days’ in the fridge, which I also rate (although after the Clausthaler they are starting to taste a bit thin).

His recipe, not his bones.

Mine would be Fergus Henderson’s roast marrow bones.

I’ve booked tickets for Norwich next weekend. And I’m doing Dry January. At least the Ghost Ship 0.4 is pretty decent.

Absolutely, I would say that’s the biggest problem. I do think Key and Tymon have talent, but neither of them are natural FBs. Also doesn’t help that Grimes spends so much time in the sweeper position but doesn’t actually sweep when it is needed.

A 3-0 thumping that perfectly encapsulated all our current problems. We can only score by sliding the ball to Cullen’s feet; Ronald rarely gets as far as attempting a ball into the box and Eom is marked out of the game, so Cullen-friendly balls are now vanishingly rare. Fairly easy to work out...

Relics is one of my favourite compilation albums. Listening to it as a teenager in the late 70s felt like discovering a lost world, along with the Velvets and MC5, even though a lot of that music was barely 10 years old at the time!

"...neither mastery nor satisfaction can be found in the playing of any game without giving some attention to the relatively neglected skills of the inner game. This is the game that takes place in the mind of the player, and it is played against such obstacles as lapses in concentration...

I love that we are discussing the evils of social media on a social media platform.

While I don’t want to minimise the effort that many supporters put in to travel huge distances and part with money many of them can ill afford to back their team, for the players it is literally their career and future earning potential at stake every time they step on the pitch. One bad tackle...

This thread is a wind-up, yes? Eom is clearly one of our better players. Cuts through defences at precisely the point where Ronald stops dead and turns around to see who he can pass back to. Eom is still a work in progress but we missed him badly when he was out. Would love a couple more players...

Excellent post, couldn't agree more! The manager's job isn't to just hand round the oranges and throw the odd football boot at half time. Just a few observations from me: - QPR came out with an extremely high press second half and I thought 'here we go again'. But either they couldn't keep it...

Well to be fair two of the last three seasons we had ‘Russ’ in charge, running around eliminating anyone who looked like they might be a winger and pairing Grimes and Fulton in MF. Williams and his squad are a work in progress but I am having more fun watching them, flaws and all, then I did...

This morning I got an email from the club saying they are now on general sale. But there's no link on the official site. Are they all gone already?

For some reason I always think of Stoke and QPR as our closest comparators in terms of how we've fared since being relegated - QPR because they came up with us and Stoke because they went down at the same time (and because their fans always tipped us for relegation every season we were in the...

We are getting rather off topic here, but if other posters don’t mind I’ll respond. 230 people died in bombing raids on Swansea in WW2. 330 died in bombing raids on Norwich, during which a substantial number of historic buildings were wiped out. Check out the ‘Hell Fire Raid’. I don’t...

It's The Gower where I grew up, and the H in The Hafod is silent. Hence the LA (Lower Hafod). Was only joking about Swansea only having the Gower and the LC2. Obviously there's Wind Street too. Norwich has loads going for it - people say the centre has a mediaeval church for every month of the...

Norwich's home support didn't drop below 25k for a single game last season other than when they played Bristol Rovers in the third round of the cup (and even then they got just shy of 20k). Not when the match was on TV. Not when they dropped to 17th place. Not even when it rained. Proper...

Plenty of positives to take from yesterday's game: Cabango, Cooper and Grimes reminded us what they are capable of, Franco outstanding again, Ronald and Eom showing real potential. Of course we should be aspiring to finish in the top 6 - that should be the minimum goal for most clubs in this...

I'd be quite happy for Cullen to lead the line from the start. But Vipotnik needs to come on early enough to make a difference, and we need to get the ball to him. Having been quite gloomy after the last game and the end of the transfer window with only Cullen and Vipotnik as strikers, I thought...
