It looked soft as anything. And you’re right about Norwood in injury time too. He’s miles on. I think I heard it said the flag was already up so I’m glad Hogan got in the way as that would have been infuriating to see a goal ruled out in those circumstances.

Like I've said he isn't bigger than the club despite what he thinks of himself.

The linesman was raising his flag and then stopped mid height when Hogan touched the ball - it would have been another shocker if the move had led to a disallowed goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as he's from my neck of the woods I should be a big fan but Alan Partridge never did it for me I'm afraid. However when he does the serious stuff he is a superb actor - Stan and Ollie, and The Reckoning, to name but two. He was amazingly good as Stan Laurel, and to take on the role that he did in The Reckoning was courageous to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine why anyone would be a fan just because they came from the same area. That would be like saying two Latics fans could never fall out...

Opinions on Latics are generally way stronger and more heartfelt than being a fan of Steve Coogan or another artist I'd say. It can be depressing when as fans we verbally beat each other up on here, but I guess it would be a boring world if everybody felt the same way. Come to think of it though, I never did rate Tommy Booth....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you might have picked up on me saying the pub, my attempt at humour, but probably too early (or not funny) I have gone out and watched a local band before actually hearing them just because they were local and then through that grown to like them. Although I do think locality can help when it comes to humour as I find Peter Kay, Jason Manford etc. way funnier than any cockney comic. Stuff they say resonates with locality eg big light , gravy on your chips.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sort of intrigued as to how Steve Coogan came to decide that Partridge comes from Norwich. That polarises opinion round here (I'm not far from Norwich) with some people loving the locality being highlighted and others thinking he's just taking the piss out of what is often termed 'Normal for Norfolk'.

I think he wanted somewhere outside of London but was seen as parochial and had enough "Daily" readers. It could be worse I live in Hadfield which for those of you who don't know is famous as the home of Roysten Vassey the opening credits you can almost make out my house its fimed at the end of my street. In fact when they did the reboot a few years ago I got a letter through the door asking if we could potentially use it in the making of the league of gentlemen.

I vaguely remember Coogan saying in an interview he wanted it to be somewhere fairly inoffensive. Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester, etc are "cool" sort of places with a fairly territorial population, so it wouldn't work. I think he toyed with Devon, but Norwich is generally though of as a bit bland... Edited March 19 by JoeP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
