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 ...
@clive-hurren - Is Boro after the 1-4 win at QPR the finished article? Almost certainly not. Are we confident after that win that Boro will beat Luto...
I missed the Bonfire Night at the Cricket Club but the chicken was good and was followed by a 4-1 away win by Boro. Quite a good evening. In the US...
I am just relieved. A 4-1 win away! What would Man City give for that when they lost at Sporting Lisbon 4-1. Their third consecutive loss - last hap...
Explain QPR 1-4 Boro after last weekend's display! My view - Jarkko has to do EVERY Match Preview from here onwards. It's obviously down to him.
As we know, it's never over until the Fat Lady sings ... But I liked the First Act and hope for more of the same in the Second. Get that Fat Lady t...
@werdermouth - or his mate Phil....
@original-fat-bob - I'd like nothing better. The chicken dinner went down well. Too much of a rush to get to the Fireworks Display. So now it's down...
