Cod Almighty | Diary

We don't plan it all, cos making it up is so natural

What? They're closing the ticket office forever? Oh, London Underground. Phew!

Hello, and welcome to Thursday with your original/regular Diary, keeper of the faith since, ooh, I dunno. Bit of a quick 'un today because we've got a quiz to publish as well.

One recent correspondent to Cod Almighty's Postbag said: "I think you are flattering yourselves by assuming John Fenty comes on this crap web-site [sic]". Well, in March of last year we did receive an email which seemed to be from the non-chairman of GTFC. The awkward English and bossy tone convinced us, anyway. But no, we don't expect Shelton sits there every lunchtime clicking refresh in between bites of fish finger sandwich to see whether the Diary's been published yet. It is gratifying to see, nevertheless, that Fenty's brother has clearly spent some time here recently – having copied and pasted the content of our Grimsby Reaper page on to the Fishy messageboard. It would have been polite of him to acknowledge that he took this material from Cod Almighty, but I suppose the admission that he's a massive CA fan might have made conversation awkward over Christmas dinner round at John's place.

Speaking of the Reaper, I was almost as chuffed to see Brian Laws get the heave-ho yesterday as most Scunthorpe fans. But even then, it wasn't remotely as chuffed as I'd be if the bookies' 33/1 shot Kevin Keegan replaces Bri over at Glanny Park. Keegan for Scunny. It's just crazy enough to work!

And lastly today, a group of Town fans have been shocked by the fact that the police arrested them for nothing before the Scunthorpe match. You'd almost think they weren't among the people who the police arrested for nothing before the royal wedding.
