@jarkko " Malanda "- you are right, I got this wrong. Thank you for pointing this out, he deserves better - especially after today's goal 😁

Thank you everyone for your generous feedback. In truth, writing the preview was a welcome relief from wallpapering. We have a normal-size house but...

Thank you Si for a wonderfully detailed preview, it was very enjoyable. As others mention, you have an enviable recall of past games and it is great t...

PN - a belated thank you for an ingenious aperitif to the game. Let's hope we can enjoy the main course this afternoon. UTB

Len that was a real eye-opener of a preview; thank you. I haven't used AI myself and so was impressed by your skill with it. The Andy Burnham - styl...

Thank you Clive for a very thorough, comprehensive preview. I do hope to see Ashley Phillips given a full game to see how he does. We are in need of r...

Martin I have just enjoyed reading your Chandleresque intro which was very clever and entertaining. Thank you. My favourite Chandler novel is " The ...

Andy I have re-read your preview this morning as a prelude to the game and it really is a very interesting piece. Thank you. The comments of various m...

A long time ago I had a Saturday job selling household goods, toys, all sorts of bits and pieces on a stall at Bishop Auckland market. One of our best...

Authentic and interesting - riveting - reading. Liked that. Well done and thank you.

Billy Bremen?

I noticed that in the cup game against Wrexham the referee gave fouls against Boro at corners for what appeared to be fairly innocuous pushing. Perhap...

@jarkko I too would like to offer my thoughts and condolences for you and your family at this sad time.

Thank you Selwynoz, a very good read. Whilst it is very early to make predictions I think Wrexham should win this one as they are the more settled s...

@clive-hurren you could try PressReader which has a great deal of material on sport from many publications. Monthly subscription is around £30 but i...

Hello Andy I will give it a go if there is space on your list. I see Len suggests AI may help but I doubt if artificial insemination will produce ne...

@martin-bellamy With a fit Marco Branca we would have walked it.

Thank you Powmill that was very entertaining and given the unpredictability of this season I am unsurprised that the scores were relatively low. Congr...

@philip-of-huddersfield Good post. We can blame our goalie for a mistake but the truth is the team as a whole failed to deliver. Sol isn't perfect...

@andy-r Good post Andy. I have enjoyed your posts this season. The defeat yesterday was not of course the end of the world; it has been a notable se...

Thank you Clive you covered a pretty complex story expertly and at short notice. As we now feature in the national news perhaps you should apply for a...

@martin-bellamy All true. I think this will roll on for some time after this season.

@pedro There is an old saying ; "Hard cases make bad law". You are right, this has all the hallmarks of one of those instances. The outcome should b...

@powmillnaemore Thank you that made me laugh! Just about the only thing about this mess that has. Southampton should not be permitted to profit from...

@john-richardson Good news John and best wishes. We were the better team today and should go to St Mary's with belief we can win against the secon...

Well done Clive, a great season finale. I have greatly enjoyed the season, the writing, the comments and banter on this forum. Congratulations to al...

A terrific intro Pedro. Thank you. Let's play our strongest side and get some momentum going into the play-offs. UTB
