I just saw that Jamar Loza has joined Leiston. So I checked his career since leaving us in 2016. Non league mostly, and only 31 career goals. We must have seen something in him surely, we extended his contract in 2014 but he only ever appeared three times for us, scoring once. Went th Maidstone, played 63 times, scored 10. Bits and pieces from then on. 4 in 9 matches for Kings Lynn among them.
Have been watching old matches on YouTube and realised that the ko rule must have changed. KO was made by a forward pass, now it is passed back. When did this change? Or are all ko 's now illegal?
You're right in that you had to pass it forward in the past, but that changed in [checks google] 2016. You can still pass it forward if you want to but no one appears keen to do so. Technically you could have a shot from the kick off if you fancied it.
From the Villa website today: "Aston Villa can confirm Emi Buendía has suffered a significant knee ligament injury. The midfielder sustained the damage during training yesterday and has subsequently undergone a scan. Buendía will now be under review ahead of a further consultation with a knee specialist." Does that indicate there's a question mark over the extent of the injury? Here's hoping it isn't as bad as at first feared.
Gary O'Neil now managing Wolves. He did good job at B'mouth last year ending up in 15th, then they canned him.
Just discovered a Norwich City quiz book by Edward Couzens-Lake that my daughter sent me a few years ago which I put away and forgot about. Q:- Former Tottenham manager loanee 1974/5. Never actually played for us in the loan spell, but I have absolutely no recollection of the event. Q:- Who was the first player to score against City in the Premier League? You have to be a real City anorak to answer a lot of these.
Steve Bould 28 min was 1st player to score against us in Premier League. We beat them 4-2 at Highbury. Happy days. Don't know the Spurs loanee?
I believe that was Mark Robins' first game for us and he score twice. Then we beat Chelsea away after being behind as well. I think that was the game when Ian Porterfield practically sacked Dave Beasant publicly.
Which team were the opposition for City's first ever match. It was a friendly? Who was City's manager on New Years Day 2000?
I think the answer to the first one is West Ham, part of me wants to say Aston Villa, but I think it is West Ham, unless I am thinking of the first game at Carrow Road New years day 2000- I would guess Nigel Worthington - he started around then because Hamilton did half a season around there
