@k-p-in-spain Sorry mate! I’ve just made the same points as you did. That’ll teach me to read others’ posts before I add mine!
Superb, Andy! You’ve highlighted Boro’s issues expertly and given us all a really good understanding of Bolton’s current strengths and weaknesses. Man...
@jarkko Thanks for the interesting Vitek article. His current stats don’t look good. I was struck by this line: ‘His save percentage is one of th...
@forever-dormo Absolutely! This Malanda in midfield malarkey must cease! Today he offered Morris very little support, which allowed Cardiff far too...
@jarkko Sorry you’ve had this issue. Every week we hear yet more horror stories resulting from Brexit, which was frankly a huge act of self harm fo...
Thanks for a very thorough, interesting and informative starter, Dormo. I particularly appreciated the comparisons between the growth of Middlesbrough...
Well done, werder! You’re on a roll! We never make it easy for ourselves, do we? I hope your hearts are ok, OFB and John, after this rollercoaster per...
Very best wishes OFB/ OSB, and good luck with your further operations. Great to see you posting again!
I agree wholeheartedly with those of you who have condemned the Eckert decision. He may have expressed genuine contrition (according to the panel) bu...
@lenmasterman What a small world of coincidences! I lived directly behind Grove Hill Methodist Church throughout my formative years, until I went t...
Thanks so much for this outstanding opener, Selwyn. I knew the history of the club, but had no real idea of what was happening around the time we were...
@peter-surtees Thanks for the technical tip, Peter. Ingenious and very helpful…….. or perhaps not? Why didn’t they teach us that at Acklam? I’m gla...
Please forgive me if I change topic briefly, but there are some seismic developments happening in football right now. Firstly, Eckert has had his E...
Many thanks to Andy for an excellent and most unexpected opener to this thread. I really can’t fault your analysis or your scores, Andy! I think you’v...
Lankshear scored England U21’s fourth goal on his international debut and was given the highest score on the BBC’s player-rating system, despite only ...
If the season continues in this vein I can’t see us finishing top two. We are far too vulnerable to costly defensive errors. You could argue that most...
Many thanks, Chris. It’s a lovely opener which brings in a bit of real history, a bit of tongue-in-cheek history ( I loved the Peaky Blinders!) and a ...
@stircrazy It wasn’t Hackney’s debut, unless you mean as a starter. As a sub he played a leading role in Everton’s 2-2 draw with MUFC, providing th...
@peter-surtees Good post, Peter. I was going to post that I have serious concerns at our ability to defend, at least so far, but I think you’ve ...
It’s a great starter, Si, and although we’re all used by now to the quality of your writing, it’s still hard to believe that this is your preview debu...
That was a very poor goal to concede.
Boro playing some lovely one-touch football and dominating possession impressively, but effectively we’re up against a low-block with Palace loading t...
I really enjoyed that, Len. Thank you. Whatever role AI played, it is terrifically inventive and a great read. I can’t see us winning at Palace, bu...
@martin-bellamy Wow! What a trip! I hope you enjoy it. Flam is fantastic. I hope you get a ride on the wonderful Flam railway, which drops down ...
@k-p-in-spain It was not only an uncomfortable watch! On the radio the second half was excruciatingly tense! It sounded as though we lost all contr...
@werdermouth Thanks for the Dom Shaw quote. MFC website has now confirmed the deal is done. It’s a rather restrained piece which doesn’t say much a...
Has anybody seen any news on the Whittaker transfer? I’ve seen nothing and there’s no news of it on the Colorado Rapids website.
Inspiration indeed! It’s really inspiring! Loved it!
Absolutely fantastic, Martin. I’m guessing it’s a tribute either to Dashiell Hammett’s ‘Maltese Falcon’ or to Raymond Chandler’s ‘The Big Sleep?’ Or i...
