Just looked out the window. As far as I can see, the sky hasn’t fallen yet.

It’s easy for me to think this being a few years off that sort of age, but I do tend to think anything after three score and ten it is a bit of a lucky dip. That doesn’t mean to say someone can’t feel vital at 75 or feel like they haven’t got life yet to live…but I would like to think at that age I could adopt a philosophical view and think “Well there were people I went to school with who didn’t make it past their mid twenties” so I couldn’t have too many complaints. Sadly that isn’t a completely made up thought, when I was in my mid twenties, three people who were in my school year all died within about 6-12 months of each other. As it gets said, getting older is better than the alternative.

I hope it’s six. But four points from West Ham and Wolves would be very welcome.

“I can see YOU…YOU can see ME!!!!” Every time without fail I laugh when he says that.

A week on Friday. If it was this Friday, I’d back QPR. I don’t know when Mowbray is due back. I’m conscious of debating what is ultimately a trivial matter of our local rivals being relegated and factoring in a man’s health while doing that…but if he was able to return for the end of the month, that might change things for me. It is a huge game, regardless.

Hmmm. They lost - pleasing. Still not in the bottom three - displeasing. On balance, I’m ok with that. I think. I have the sense that they were aiming for 3/4 points from these two home games. Managed to pick up zero. Results wise they are on the worst run compared to the likes of Huddersfield, Wednesday, QPR… I think it will be down to Mowbray. If he is able to return, they’ll survive. If he doesn’t, I’d be inclined to think it might actually happen.

Luton level

Norwich doing well, don’t want them cementing a play off place before the final game ideally, resting all their players for the play offs and giving sha an early friendly. I know we rested players when we went up, but it was against already crowned champions (Norwich, again) so it meant nothing.

Huddersfield down to ten

Forest one up

Excellent game In fairness Wolves have been involved in two classic cup games in recent years. They’ve lost both 3-2, but still, great games

**** Coventry

What a game this is

Wow

Lol so undeserved

Coventry only have themselves to blame

**** me if Coventry don’t win this they will be livid

Goal stands. I’m not as anti VAR as others on here (and elsewhere) but if they are unsure…and they clearly were based on the amount of time taken, it has to stand.

If you have to look at it for this amount of time, it should count…

Enjoyable game so far

Up at eight - you can't be late. For Matthew & Son, he won't wait Watch them run down to platform one And the eight thirty train to Matthew & Son.

Oh damn Meredith Brooks ain’t going to be happy reading that. (I never use the word, well certainly not in the context of a woman, I might use it in a way Jesse Pinkman might)

Fun, isn’t he?

Yeah that looks a bit too slick and stylish. The original looked more like a grainy Robert Smith fever dream. And I’m not a huge devotee of the original - I only saw it for the first time a couple of years ago. It’s enjoyable, I vaguely remember it being funnier than I thought it was - or maybe a bit more lighthearted in places? A few more wisecracks then I thought there would be.

The not quite thirteen year old me bawled his little eyes out when the beeb chose this to soundtrack England’s exit from Euro ‘96.
