@pedro - George Friend, if I remember correctly, was signed for £100K. A steal even then! Wasn't he one of the first on the team sheet for about 6 ye...
@mw-in-darwin - Possession - the stat that deceives.
That was so much better than on Wednesday. Warmer so a pleasant walk to the stadium from the parked car, and no shivers as the match progressed. Bette...
Congratulations Powmill on the Match Preview and exmil on the medical news. Anyone who believes they can predict how the Hull City game will go for...
@original-fat-bob - I hope he is a LEFT winger!
@exmil - Brilliant news, exmil! Certainly better than as well as more important than Wednesday's football.
When I posted earlier on this thread I said I wouldn't give a prediction as to the result, but I would come back later, nearer to the game, for that. ...
18 for me so far, but my memory for football games isn't great. Especailly if they were some time ago.
I hope your rented cottage was in walking distance of the various pubs in Reeth. Or maybe you took "supplies" with you? I also hope it may be possib...
Thanks, Martin, for the Starter piece. I'm sure that Werder and OFB are even more grateful, now that they don't have to take turns to do the match pr...
@exmil - I understand that, too, exmil.
@lenmasterman - Very thoughtful piece, Len. Acquisition of players is a vital area that must succeed if a club is to succeed.
@martin-bellamy - Booo!
I bet the odds against Boro scoring 7 (SEVEN) in the game against Blackburn have reduced dramatically in recent days. Now THAT would be a successful ...
@werdermouth - BBC Tees for me!
@jarkko - Thanks, Jarkko. I have seen both you and our departed Scots friend a few times over the years in the Battered Badger. I turned this on now,...
@original-fat-bob - Mogga
@werdermouth - I have enjoyed reading the posts so far in this thread (very ably started by OFB with his dive into Morse). Jarrko's enquiry has been a...
@k-p-in-spain - Ben Doak passed his 19th birthday only 10 days ago. When a lad is fit, and only 18/19 years old, I don't think "running on empty" las...
@martin-bellamy - At Dormo Towers we greatly enjoyed Montalbano (and Young Montalbano). There have been few series shown on TV in England which featu...
Lovely Starter piece, OFB. And, Martin, you could easily catch up on the Morse series because Morse is repeated very often on the various digital cha...
@jarkko and @philip-of-huddersfield - I think it is difficult for teams of a Championship level to "make it" and become established regulars in the To...
@original-fat-bob - I'd be amazed if there was anyone who uses this site who (1) doesn't greaatly respect Mogga as a Human Being (2) doesn't respect M...
Oh, go on! 2-1 win today.
@mw-in-darwin - Good "S"pot.
@lenmasterman - Have a good holiday, Len. Great start to the thread so it will be a pity you may not get to join in the rest of it, nor see the game.
@powmillnaemore - Luton Town not only won the League Cup in 1987-88 beating Arsenal 3-2 at Wembley but lost in the Final the following year when beat...
Bearing in mind that the vast majority of posts on here by @lenmasterman are thoughtful and well argued, it's no surprise that his Match Preview for B...
@jarkko - It's getting that way, Jarkko! I have just checked and, yes, I had already put the Luton game in my diary for a 12.30pm kick-off. I just ...
@k-p-in-spain - Thanks for that! I'd assumed it was a 3pm kick off but I suppose I would have found out the truth in time ...
