Diary - Thursday 20 March 2003

20 March 2003

An early Diary again today, as I'm on the road this afternoon to see some bands tonight in Leeds. Then I'm getting trashed in Sheffield again tomorrow - so you shall have a guest diarist tomorrow, on a little dishy: namely Cod Almighty's puzzlemeister laureate Miles Moss - more of whom later.

Right - my coach is at 2 o'clock so I've got to hurry. First up, Town's home game against Wolves scheduled for 29 March has, as expected, been postponed due to international call-ups, Town having two players (and Oster) in the Wales squad, and Wolves having some as well.

Leicester midfielder Junior Lewis - who just a few weeks ago considered himself rather too special to go out on loan to the likes of Grimsby - has gone out on loan to the likes of Swindon. Since snubbing the Mariners, the arrogant sod has been told he has no future at the Walkers Stadium, much to the mirth of the Diary, and has now been forced to dirty his knees in an even lowlier setting than Cleethorpes.

Diary Poetry Week gathers further momentum, with two more pieces from the ever prolific Alistair Wilkinson - one an epic report on the win at Rotherham; the other a haiku. Cod Almighty tipster Mat Hare has chipped in with a humorous limerick and another, more humorous, limerick; while Miles Moss has come good with the best effort of the week so far, a brilliant GTFC-flavoured reworking of Philip Larkin's 'This Be The Verse'. Well done again, all of you, and keep them coming in to codalmightydiary@yahoo.co.uk.

Finally, the Diary would like to thank Keith Collins and Guy Keeble for pointing out the error in early editions of yesterday's Diary, which referred to John Oster's "headed goal" against Rotherham. "I do understand that if you were at the game itself," adds Guy sympathetically, "you may have innocently made this mistake due to the madness which ensued!" Afraid I just copied it from Ceefax, Guy, but it was still pretty wild in my sitting room.

Have a great weekend, everyone, and stay beautiful.
