    Nought to Nine

    After City's defeat to Reading in the Frankly, Who Cares Trophy (FWCT), I realised that I'd seen City concede every number from nought to nine: nought to four many times, five fairly frequently, six at least four times, seven at home to Brentford (the previous record home defeat), eight at Villa...

    Bandages

    After the Fiorentina player whose head was cut by an object thrown by a West Ham fan who clearly only works Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays had his head bandaged in La Violas' purple, should City consider having red and white striped bandages from now on?

    Devon Bowl 21/2

    Draw for the First round of the Bowl has given City a trip to Plymouth Marjons, out by Derriford Hospital and the defunct airport. To be played at the end of September, allegedly. https://www.swpleague.co.uk/cups/county-cups/devon-st-lukes-bowl/

    Spotlight at 60

    BBC Spotlight celebrating 60 years on air with footage of former presenters and reporters such as Sheila Tracy*, Huge Scullery, Angela Rippon, Chris Denham etc No Kate Adie, however. Was I the only one to flick the Vs at the TV when Dick Woodacre came on ? *As far as i know the only trombonist...

    Under 16s v Cheltenham Town

    Went to Axminster's FA Vase game on Saturday and they announced that tonight (Monday 12th) they were hosting a City U16s game against Cheltenham, which the announcer thought was a cup final. Can't find any detail about this anywhere and, sadly, I'm now not able to attend. Anyone got more details...

    Connect Four

    https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/plymouth-argyle-versus-exeter-city-3953814 I wonder what it could be about Devon Derbies this season that put the number 'four' in Argyle staff's heads ?

    Devon Bowl (St Luke's Cup) 2017/8

    The draw has been made - in Torquay, I believe, rather than the EFL draw in Bangkok - for the St Luke's Cup. http://www.swpleague.co.uk/SouthWestPeninsulaleagueForum/topic/devon-st-lukes-bowl-draw/

    New Fivers

    Has anyone had one of the 'Churchill' fivers yet ? I was hoping that I might get one when I drew some money out this afternoon but sadly not. Then had a rather wild and weird idea that I could try drawing small amounts from several cash tills to increase my chances of getting one. If you have...

    Clever Dick ?

    Did anyone else think that on Spotlight tonight the scorer of Dagenham's first goal at Argyle on Saturday was called Clever Dick Amona ?

    Chris Anderson

    Who he ? Just been appointed as Coventry City's Managing Director. Author of The Numbers Game: Why Everything You Know About Football Is Wrong. So far, so irrelevant; however, the paragraph of the link below timed as 1507 reads: "In England, the club I’m closest to is Exeter City. I’m close to...

    When Saturday Comes Issue 337

    An article by a City fan in the latest When Saturday Comes, only seen the build up paragraph, not the full article. http://www.wsc.co.uk/wsc-daily/1192-february-2015/12163-wsc-337-out-now#.VOR7VOciZsE.twitter It's the Money For Nothing article. Nice use of 'sullied'.

    An Idea For Fore Street ?

    Could this be tried in Exeter ? Fore Street would be ideal, particularly if extended into New Bridge Street and then, erm, the river.

    Newton St Cyres Centenary

    The Devon FA's Newsletter for this month celebrates Newton St Cyres's centenary. In the picture towards the bottom of the page opposite a paragraph about the late 80s (the one with the team in red and white halves), there's a fresh faced youngster in the middle of the back row holding a...

    Suspicious Little Things

    Many moons past, when I was more cynical, I would have considered it a particularly bad omen for a City home game to fall on my birthday. Or if I'd mislaid my favourite bobble hat. Or put the right sock on before the left. However, it got me thinking about what little things can be considered...
