It sounds as though the match continues in its failure to dazzle. I am treading water until the final whistle, at which point I will be preparing a ...
Not sounding as if it's the (best) Match of the Day at HT - a "drab affair" per BBC Tees.
HULL CITY 1-2 BORO (my prediction as the game kicks off).
@stircrazy - VERY interesting. If I were a Hull City defender, I'd be delighted Ben Doak has been dropped/rested/rotated. But if I were I Jones I'd b...
@werdermouth - Good to hear about your health improving. Here's hoping you'll get a further boost to that health as a result of Hull v Boro starting ...
Thanks again, Len, for your Match Preview. I enjoy reading the posts you write even though this one makes me a little less enthusiastic about predicti...
I decided eventually to stay at home to listen to the Monday night football on the radio. No alcohol has passed my lips (again) and therefore my kidn...
@jarkko - The last week or so has all been a bit of a Pantomime, really. And for the cynics out there, I can confirm no alcohol passed my lips yester...
@martin-bellamy - Between Christmas and New Year, and maybe a few days after New Year, by tradition I seem to forget which day it is. Normal activiti...
DAEL Fry (!!!)
@stircrazy - For me it (MoM) was Dale Fry but Dijksteel had a very decent game and Burgzorg showed some pace going forward.
I'm tempted to say that we need a little break now, to gather breath for the rest of the season. And then I look at the diary to see Hull City v Boro ...
As others have said, a point from this game looks a decent return given (a) the last few performances (b) the way today's other games went. Hopefully...
I can see an argument that prayer may be as a good a tactic as any other that the team has recently employed. And, for OFB, the weather outside seems ...
@pedro - If the club produces one player (like a Stuart Ripley, Gary Pallister, Stewart Downing or a Young Rogers, even a Cattermole or a few others...
@clive-hurren - Very kind of you, Clive. I'm not sure I could offer you any advice. Family commitments v attending the match? One thing to bear in m...
@mw-in-darwin - I wonder whether Boro doesn't, as a matter of course, under-estimate young keepers who come through the academy system.
@philip-of-huddersfield - The thing is Boro supporters can be so fickle that, even after three or four bad results, if the team wins a game against de...
@k-p-in-spain - I understand and sympathise with your reasoning but I really hope you are wrong. I am hoping we will all be astounded by a rampant Bor...
@selwynoz - Spot on.
@werdermouth - Thanks for that. I can do the words, but the technology.is another matter. I will use another method to get around footnotes in the fut...
Thanks for the kind comments, gentlemen. (I am sorry but I have no idea which button I pressed, or which magic spell I invoked, to cause a large para...
@original-fat-bob - I went to the Ploated Pheasant yesterday evening, after my return from The Riverside. It allowed me to watch Wolves v Manchester ...
@original-fat-bob - I WAS going to leave a short post effectively saying "Words alone couldn't possibly convey my feelings after the home game against...
@pedro - Cool dancing. Christmas starts here... Better get into the kitchen to rustle up the breakfast (with a certain French fizz). A BBQ to ligh...
@original-fat-bob - I second what OFB said.
@jarkko - EEEEK! You are correct! And to make things worse, I'm the one who will prepare the Match Preview for the Burnley game. Losing my marbles...
This is just a polite reminder that Jarkko has already posted his Match Preview for Boxing Day's match at home to Burnley... (I know we have continue...
@original-fat-bob - I think the expression I heard in "Red Dwarf" was The Prince of Dorkness. (I have come late to this thread though, to be fair, I...
