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

Werder what a great intro - topical funny and relevant. Your writing is so fresh and full of energy. Bob I am sorry to hear of your continued health...

As Basil Fawlty said "It might be a dream" (Bangs head on desk ) " No, it's real, we just have to get on with it. " Love your positivity Jarkko. ...

Great writing Martin, I really enjoyed that. Happy Easter to everyone especially those facing health challenges. On the upside thanks to the Boro ...

Thank you for your excellent introduction Andy. Two good teams who are outperforming expectations: in both cases based on fairly parsimonious defen...

Thanks Andy a very informative introduction. QPR may be inconsistent but they are capable of raising their game against stronger opposition ( e.g. C...

Very amusing and informative read Werder. Let us hope Boro can inject a ball or two into Leicester's net tomorrow night.  

@philip-of-huddersfield Fair enough Philip but I reckon Boro have played well so far.

Really good Andy. I am going to read it again now as there was so much content there to mull over. Thank you for all the work you put in on these open...
