Some Picture Perfect Goals

Norwich City 5-1 Bristol Rovers

What a week. At one point there Norwich City had scored a total of 8 goals in an hour's football. First half strikes from Chris Martin, Wes Hoolahan (pen) and Grant Holt (2), the second of which was a very special individual effort, had the match won by half-time. Jamie Cureton then added a last minute strike for good measure.

We were joined in the BBC Radio Norfolk commentary box by a nice man called Norman.

He had won the chance to sit next to myself and Neil Adams by bidding for the prize in an auction. His day job is to illustrate bird books. I shuffled in my seat all afternoon and just about managed to get through it without asking him what he was like at drawing canaries.

Commentators tend to make dreadful hosts. What would you think if you had paid good money to spend an afternoon with someone who then did not talk to you for the best part of two hours? Thankfully Norwich City stepped in and entertained Norman with five very good goals so I don't think he was that bothered that he had to spend most of his afternoon sitting quietly.
