Thanks, gentlemen, for the kind words about the Match Preview. It was a bit of a rush to put it together after the game at Charlton but, in view of th...
It's a real honour to read your comments, Len. Thank you. I will now float off to the Poisoned Penguin for a few hours.
@powmillnaemore - YES - it was Roger Dean who designed a large proportion of the album covers for the records issued by the band. I had it mind that ...
@malcolm - Spot on, Malcolm. And the more I hear about, and from, Kim Hellberg, the more I like it. And I have posted the Match Preview for the hom...
@paulinboro - If three successive wins with "lost" players miraculously reappearing for those games is a bit of a "rough start", I'll take it any time...
Correction in about the last third of the piece, where I mentioned Alex Gilbert had started (and scored) at Hull on 5th December, and started again at...
Phew! A 2-1 away win is always a good result even if the last 10 mninutes or so were very nervous. Five points caught up on Coventry in 4 days. I'l...
What has Hellberg put into Whittaker's tea? I could do with some of that myself. It is no secret that Whittaker was suffering a bit under the Coach ...
@jarkko - The Match Preview for the QPR game. Ahhh....! Or should that be Arrrgh? So quick, such a rapid turnaround between games.
@Jarkko - I read your starter during the first half as I listened to BBC Tees. I am delighted with the HT score with Boro 2-0 up at Charlton, but equ...
@Jarkko - Many apologies for not having been here for a couple of days and, as a result, for not having been able to reead or comment on this new thre...
@martin-bellamy - If Conway is not scoring but is at least contributing the odd assist to others who do score, and if he is at least closing oppositio...
@Jarkko - Who needs four candles? Two are quite enough in any window! Enjoy the day... I think ANY country would celebrate freedom from the grip of ...
That was the very definition of a statement win against a team much better than Boro on recent form. I am feeling very positive without wishing to ge...
@jarkko - We ALL want Boro and Wolves to swap places at the end of the season!
What a difference a new manager makes! And a completely unexpected game for young Alex Gilbert, who scored!
What is going on? Can we please replay the Coventry game?
Has my wife slipped something in the tea I have just finished...?
And, in case I forget, the dulcet tones of Maddo on BBC Tees reminds me that the Big Game is due to kick off in about 90 minutes. I have a sort of fee...
@lenmasterman - Your post at 7.21pm on 3rd December... I have long admired Sir Tom Stoppard (he was knighted in 1997). There have, unsurprisingly, b...
On reflection I have a feeling that I might have mentioned some of the history of Hull including William Wilberforce and the cream coloured telephone ...
@jarkko - In reply to your query from 1.30pm on December 3rd: A quick squint at Wikipedia tells us what we all know, that the name of the city is K...
Good stuff, Clive! I think a point would be good away to Hull but I must be getting greedy in my old age. Three points would allow us the possibil...
Bulldozer. That's the word (not excavator).
@selwynoz - Douglas Adams was a VERY imaginative and funny writer. Whilst enjoying a lie-in one Sunday in Chester, with Radio 4 doing its thing on t...
@werdermouth - So, if Conway (should he be selected) and Hackney both avoid a yellow card against Hull, will the next hurdle be "10 yellow cards in 38...
Arghh...! It was the whale which had the internal mental disussion about the very big and apparently ROUND thing the whale was approaching at great s...
I realise I am late to the party after the Derby game, so I may keep this short. It has taken me the last 18 hours to dry out following the Biblical ...
@stircrazy - I certainly DO remember that earlier exchange and it was good to have the story updated. Thanks!
