@andy-r Thanks Andy. I'm happy with my assignments, but since i have been given both Luton games it might make sense to swap the second game with s...

I really fancy Gareth and the lads to beat the odds tonight and win the Euros. Spain have been the outstanding team of the competition, but in the s...

Congratulations John. Great news

According to Dom Shaw, a pretty reliable source I would have thought, in the Northern Echo, Boro had an interest in Swift which they have so far decid...

@exmil Good move. We should have gone for Swift years ago when he left Reading. I suspect he is a Carrick /Woodgate prospective signing, since he ...

Apologies to Andy and Bob. Have only just seen this thread. I'm happy to take the first two league games, Swansea (H) and Derby (A). Still haven't m...

@exmil Best wishes for a positive outcome, exmil

I thought that there was now general agreement within the club that quality not quantity was to be the hallmark of this Summer's signings. O' Brien wo...

@martin-bellamy Fantastic compilation, Martin. Thanks for posting

@werdermouth The surgeon who last operated on me was a Mr Butcher. There used to be a dreaded dentist in Middlesbrough in the 40s called Mr Flood. ...

@exmil So sorry to hear of your diagnosis. You will have the support and best wishes of everyone on this blog to which you have made such importa...

@original-fat-bob Sounds a bit like Dirk Diggler's respectable brother, but looks good to me. Classic Dutch midfielder, comfortable on the ball wit...

So sorry to hear of your terrible news, exmil. Setting your sights on getting back to your seat at the Riverside as soon as possible demonstrates exac...

No qualms about Greenwood and Thomas, but why the rejection of O'Brien? He has proved himself to be a solid and experienced Championship performer w...

@exmil An astonishing development given Rosenior's record at Hull and the major progress Hull have made this season. He'd make a great No2 to Carri...

On Greenwood, Kieron Scott was keen to claim ownership of the loan deal that brought him here. This was around the time when Greenwood was playing w...

Thanks to Dormo and belated thanks to deleriad for two typically excellent openers. They both have such distinctive voices. Indeed that has been true ...

Have a great day, Jarkko.

Great stuff, Andy, and a very astute tactical analysis of Monday's match. Thanks for this and all of your other leaders throughout the season. And p...

I have really appreciated your opening articles this season, Selwyn, and this was also excellent. You could scarcely have done a better job in your as...

The only things that will linger in the memory from this match were the two goals from Latte Lath. The first just reward for his persistence in holdin...

Thanks Powmill. In spite of your self-imposed limitations in not wishing to repeat yourself you have produced a fresh and very interesting piece, whic...

Thanks Bob for another first-class preview, and I echo the sentiment that every single opener this season has been well worth reading and is a tribute...

Thanks Martin. A typically splendid piece by, in my view , the best sports writer of the current generation. I try to catch everything he produces.

Brilliant, Clive. You are able, almost as a matter of routine, to produce articles that are far superior to most of the journalism one reads. Proves t...

A brief note on the wrong thread to say thanks to powmill for all of his great work on the COTS challenge, with apologies that i haven't been able to ...

@exmil good post exmil

Good post Pedro in response to equally interesting ones from Werder, Andy and others. The level of discussion on this forum is way above what is avail...

Thanks Dormo for a brilliant and comprehensive opener, especially as it was composed at such short notice after your excellent Birmingham piece. I'l...
