Cod Almighty! (Cod Almighty Dog Almighty Book 1)

Product Information

It was not difficult to see why each Arsenal player had been handed a contract; they were bigger, stronger, faster and all were able to read the game – they made many interceptions simply by observing the Town players. They had been coached well and were able to follow those instructions. They'd be pushing for a play-off place in division one ('cos they weren't that good). But they had Bergkamp and, if the memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime, then he won't remember this. His brain still works, but his legs don't. Football is in the grip of a panic that just won't ease. Players are spending whole seasons sitting on benches. Yes, we need a squad, we need healthy competition, and we need to cover injuries, but the loan system is no longer fit for purpose. Its nature has shifted to benefit the few, to serve the elite, and so managers sign players for whole seasons, knowing full well they might not even see the light of day. Charles Ekberg covered Grimsby for over a quarter of a century, and is thoroughly immersed in its culture. Although he quite often gets bogged down in reciting statistical details that you will find more clearly conveyed in A complete record (qv) or the Dave Wherry books, and occasionally repeats himself,his book nevertheless conveys, through snippets and anecdotes,a good sense of the part played by the Mariners in the life of the town.

So, I'll sign off with the matches in which Grimsby Town proudly scored and embarrassingly conceded five goals or more. How many of them do you remember, and how many of them did you attend? If you have stories from any of these games, please share them with us!The simple Piemen assembled with their colours and noise and promised a half-time treat for all: a special guest appearance by a former Mariner, an old estate agent called Gary. Ah, you're too young to get it. Do I have to spell it out? G.A.R.Y.L.U.N.D. Old times, old players, just old memories for old men. And this is no county for old men. I probably overlooked a couple of Arsenal shots, but you, and I, don't care about that. As far as Town goes, there was one more effort and, hold on to your functional headwear, it was on target. We made their keeper touch the ball with his hands. A triumph and something to tell your grandchildren on a future festive occasion. The bank itself resembles an undersea mountain, peaking about 45 metres below sea level and descending more than 900 metres. Its unique geography traps warm southern currents, which are divided from the rest of the Faroese plateau by a cold-water channel that flows with the pressure of all the world’s rivers combined. “It is like an invisible fence, which makes it an isolated ecosystem,” said Eyðfinn Magnussen, a marine biologist at the University of the Faroe Islands.

Our emergency replacement diary service has broken down somewhere near Mablethorpe, so while punctured egos are being fixed we need something to sate your desire for some mid-week diversion from the hum-drummery of the blank week before Walsall. However, Gregersen says that while local people did not realise how good Faroese fish was, Spanish buyers did. “Faroese cod is really good,” he says. “But the Faroe Bank cod is one level higher than that.” As interest from Spain grew, islanders began to see the commercial potential of their unique cod. It was salted and sold abroad – to the Basque country in Spain, Italy or Portugal as bacalao. used as first-person singular as well as plural; eg. I went round me Nan's and she tret us to some spoggy!Ian Dawes stood down as Tranmere Rovers' caretaker manager after they appointed Keith Hill on 21 November 2020, and after they had beaten Grimsby 5-0 Grimsby. Current research suggests that the term emerged in the mid-1990s as a humorous tribute to the townspeople's fondness for abbreviating words by taking the first syllable and adding the letter O (see Freemo, immo, Boato, etc) Crank up the Vernamator! Town in a hurry with a bit of a flurry. Crosses flashing hither and thither and through the six-yard box from left then right. Little Harry's careful curl deflected wide. Eisa was spotted then swotted, Conteh began to clamp. Nice.

A season-by-season statistical history of the club, covering all competitions including the Lincolnshire Cup, with narrative accounts of the history of the club, its grounds, managers,major players and the club programme.While other books provide more up-to-date statistics, the narrative sections have a good eye for interesting detail. Sometimes, I just wish more managers would work with what they've got — you know, the squads they signed — before they go off and sign some more. If Vernam hasn't been the answer so far, he could be the answer this Saturday with a tweak to the system, some specific drills or even a few chosen words. This isolation is what gave the cod its unique features. As well as faster growth and a higher fat percentage compared with Atlantic cod, Faroe Bank cod have lighter skin – as much of the seabed is white shell sand – and fewer vertebrae, as is often seen in fish that live in warmer waters. And then there were the blue and white ones. These were for the generic lower league sides, and they were filled with ones and zeros… but one side featured a five. This provided teams like Newport County and York City a passage beyond the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal.indefinite but lengthy period of time; eg. I haven't been to Wonderland for yonks! Again, not exclusive to Grimmo, but I like it transitive verb: to (illegally) take a passenger on one's pushbike in such a configuration that they occupy the saddle and hold onto one's hips for balance while one pedals and steers from a standing position; eg. I pagged him all the way from the Nunny! Also noun: the ride given in this manner; eg. Pags are dead immo! The Mariner makes a welcome return this afternoon for the visit of Woking to Blundell Park. To commemorate their 20th anniversary, Cod Almighty take over a number of our regular features and articles, putting their own spin on today’s edition. We've done it before, let's do it again, let's keep up the tradition of last-minute goals at Meadow Lane. Let's keep on making them unhappy. Town weren't bad, just not good enough to cause Arsenal any problems. There was some excellent controlled defending by Chapman (who, according to someone on my left, "leapt like a salmon" at least seven times during the game. That was his phrase du jour), including one moment where he controlled the ball on his chest near the Town goal line, and calmly passed the ball upfield. Similarly, Broomes and Groves had a couple of flashy moments inside the Town penalty area.

Remember 'Fright Night' at Blundell Park on Tuesday 29th October 2002? Who could forget. Burnley came to Cleethorpes and scored five, but the Mariners — in the poorest of goalscoring form — scored six. In his post-match ramble did you spot a gentle rain falling softly in Paul Hurst's weary eyes as if to hide a lonely tear? Arsenal warmed up at the other end, in front of a wall of empty red seats, with fancy-dan continental stretches and balletic jumps. As they were doing this their team was announced on the two big TV screens, "Number 57 – Juan". I will resist the temptation to make a Heinz joke, but 57! And Juan wasn't a singular sensation, by the way. We feared for Ben Chapman, possibly being swept away by the elephantine ears of Jermaine Pennant. Up front they had Bergkamp and Wiltord. Now that's cheating. appear smartly dressed and groomed, eg. You look a right bobby dazzler! Off up the Bags' Ball, are yer? After Neilson had given the ball away and been roasted and toasted (with a crunchy cheese topping) Aliadiere (Scrabble bag boy) hit a low shot from 20 yards which skipped over Groves' heels and travelled towards the bottom right-hand corner of the goal. Coyne threw himself horizontally across and parried the ball away for a corner. He even caught the corner when it came in. In the last minute or two another one of the substitutes (Halls, how unusual an Anglo-Saxon name on their team sheet) ran onto a Bergkamp low cross from their right and, from about 12 yards out at the near post, swept the ball across the face of the goal and just wide. Oh, and Bergkamp spun and twisted past Groves in the penalty area on the Town right, got to the bye-line and crossed into the centre of the goal mouth. Little Ben leapt (perhaps like a salmon) and headed the ball over the bar.Interviews by pupils of St Thomas CE Primary School with 45 ex-Boston players, including ex-Mariners Keith Alexander, Brian Clifton, Mike Czuczman, Don Donovan, Brian Dunn, Jimmy Fell, Bill Harvey, Billy Howells, Phil Hubbard, Keith Jobling, John Lakin, Jim Lumby, Arthur Mann, George Simmonds, Matt Tees and Malcolm White. The focus is natually on their Boston career but there is still a lot of interesting Town material as well. Chapman is most famous as the ground-breaking manager of Huddersfield and Arsenal, but his playing career included 12 games for Grimsby in 1898-99. There are several books about him: Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Just to add to this nonsensical view of football scores, I'd consider losing 5-2 worse than losing 4-0. Because, you know, five. Most impressive of all, we won 2-1 away at Liverpool in the League Cup in October 2001 and four days later Gerard Houllierwas rushed to hospital with heart problems
