@k-p-in-spain Didn’t George Smith have windmill arms? I seem to recall him waving his arms around madly whenever he ran? Or is that my memory playi...

Thanks for an excellent opener, Andy. It beautifully summarises the respective situations of the two clubs and is written with your usual fine verve a...

Good post, Pedro!

@original-fat-bob I entirely agree with you about Conway and Browne, OFB. Both are undroppable on current form. AB really solidifies the midfield a...

Excellent, Dormo! I loved that. It’s very interesting and informative: I knew of the Welsh-speaking community in Argentina, for instance, but knew not...

Congratulations, Jarkko! That’s a brilliant opener, and even more astonishing that you can write so well in a foreign language. There were some str...

Magnificent! This side is going places! I'm going to award everyone in a red shirt, plus the manager, a 10. Except Jones, Targett and Fry who get 1...

@powmillnaemore I like it, too!

@presidentjump Why, thank you, PJ! I’ve been called many things in my time, but genius certainly wasn’t one of them…….. And thank you all for you...

@werdermouth I’ve managed to move it now! You can delete it from 2024-25, if you wish! Cheers

@werdermouth I’ve inadvertently put my Ipswich starter in the wrong year! DOH! Sorry! Could you possibly move it to 2025-26 for me? Thank you.

Jarkko As far as I’m concerned, leaving the EU was one of the most stupid decisions made by any government anywhere. What government would try to in...

After Targett had brought down one of Pompey’s players near his touchline - only a foul, nothing dirty - he then got absolute dog’s abuse from much of...

As you’ve all said, that was hugely disappointing. Boro ambled through the first half, evidently playing with very little purpose and creating nothing...

Another excellent opener, Andy! Thank you. Your analysis of both sides’ strengths and playing styles is brilliant. I particularly appreciated how you’...

I’ve seen it again several times. It’s one of the clearest penalties I’ve ever seen. The commentary team keep saying it was a slight touch - rubbish! ...

Agreed. Stonewall penalty. Why didn’t the linesman see that? We wuz robbed.

I agree with everyone else, selwynoz - it’s a superb starter, really informed and informative, reflective and analytical, and beautifully written and ...

I agree with Len and Martin, Werder. I loved your very funny opener, though am still ( not him) trying to get my head around all these stills! Will he...

With my usual flair for prediction, I had Boro down for just 12 points from 10 games. I’m just off to Aldi now to buy the biggest humble pie I can fin...

@President Jump ‘The feel good factor is definitely around the club, who would have thought RE after 5 games would be in position to have a little wo...

Wonderful, Powmill! Thank you. I loved the Lindisfarne reference. You’ve given us a whole raft of information about The Baggies and their ‘ones to ...

Re the goal-line technology: I had no idea it wasn’t working. I looked across at the linesman when Boro celebrated and he clearly indicated GOAL. I ju...

Peter and MW Sorry lads, I was still writing my post as you posted yours. Yes, there was significant cheering from our end when Whittaker was wit...

As others have said, what a game of two halves! In the pub beforehand, Mike , my PNE mate, told me their side would get in our faces! That made a s...

Boro have sold all 5600 tickets for PNE. That’s magnificent support. We’ll no doubt be sucking the ball into the net when Boro are attacking our end! ...

@philip-of-huddersfield I've just checked on Sky. The game is live on Sky Sports +. I imagine you can record it in the normal way, probably in adva...

Many thanks for an interesting and lively starter, Martin, and sincere thanks of course to Dave for his detailed and very helpful take on PNE. I used ...

@peter-surtees I entirely agree, Peter. My earlier criticism of the recruitment team has been proven wholly misguided. They’ve done an amazing job ...
