Rotherham United vs. Norwich City, with infinite windchill
It might not sound like your idea of a great way to spend a Saturday, but it was a cracking game (match report). Goals galore (final score was 4-4) including a last-minute equaliser, plus plenty of controversy from dubious goals on both sides, a punch-up in the tunnel and subsequent sending-off. Splendid stuff, and all thanks to Sky shifting the Newcastle vs. Fulham game to Monday. Well, ok, my presence was thanks to Sky. And a friend’s invite. And a need to bed-in some new brakes on the Mini. Moving on...
Darren Huckerby, now putting them away for Norwich after an unsuccessful stint at Man City, looked a class above most of the players on show. I can’t help feeling he’s dropped a division just to put himself back in the shop window, despite signing a 2½ year contract with the Canaries. Maybe someone will swoop for him in the summer. Or maybe Norwich will just get promoted. For the first time in years, it’s looking a reasonably likely prospect. I can’t ever see them recapturing the glory of games against Bayern München and Internazionale, but the Premiership’s not beyond their abilities this year. Staying there might be another matter, mind. Still, good luck to them. Should be a nice six points. ;)
