Diary - Friday 27 December 2002

27 December 2002

It's been one of those quiet days... but unbelievably, there's another match tomorrow, with Norwich City making that journey to Blundell Park which most tired old pundits and lazy hacks seem to find so amusing. Richard Littlejohn, i thumb my nose in your general direction.
So, anyway, what of tomorrow's line-up? The diary isn't going to waste precious time speculating when there are turkey leftovers and chocolates to be guzzled, so let's just give the whole thing a big Georges Gallic shrug, and we'll see what happens tomorrow.

One last thing though - did anyone else notice that good old Peter Handyside scored and own goal on Boxing Day to help put Stoke further behind us? Pete, the Diary rather cheekily salutes you.

The Diary's tv-fixated younger cousin informs me of several Grimsby-related moments over Christmas. Firstly, Ally McCoist fails to let the world know he knows that GRIMSBY TOWN play at BLUNDELL PARK (complete with sly little look up from Sue Barker). Secondly, CARL FROM GRIMSBY goes out in the first round of the new-format Blind Date (complete with tuts from the Diary's tradionalist gran as she muttered something about "when I were young"), missing out on a date with some posh bird called Tara Palmer-Tompkinson. And finally, the Dingles of Emmerdale announced relations from the east coast, specifically UNCLE MOSES FROM GRIMSBY. Christmas telly - keep waving that flag!
