@presidentjump Izzy was pulling up trees for the Hatters at the end of last season. A real crowd pleaser and probably their best player in the fina...

The warmest of welcomes back, Si. Great to hear from you again, and many thanks for your typical, but still extraordinary, historical research into Bo...

I'm happy with the draws from the last two games, and with the philosophy that if we cannot win games then we must make sure that we don't lose them. ...

Happy to escape with a point after a second half dominated by Stoke, who spurned a hatful of clear cut chances. The coaches have received well-earne...

Good performance so far with lots of neat approach play. We need to get onto Strellecs wavelength. He seems to have made little impression, but his mo...

I hope that Browne will play in midfield making us really strong in that area rather than right wing back. This would have the disadvantage of moving ...

PS Glad to see Browne in tonight. Thought he was outstanding when introduced as a sub last Saturday. An experienced hand just when we needed it most

Best wishes, Bob. Hope the Boro do the right thing by you and speed your recovery with a good win. Thanks Andy for stepping in for the Pompey preview....

Great stuff, Selwyn. A very thoughtful and reflective piece with many insights on our current position, as we have come to expect from you. I thorough...

Boro very poor so far with our midfielders and defenders caught on the ball or giving it away far too easily. Morris and Hackney especially prone to g...

A lovely opener, Werder, carefully constructed, cleverly themed and seasoned with your usual flair and wit. Premiership quality in every syllable. A t...

@forever-dormo As we have come to expect from you, Dormo, some interesting, pertinent and reflective comments on this topic. One of my favourite pr...

An excellent pre-match briefing on the new West Brom squad, Powmill. Like Clive I didn't know a great deal about their signings, but they seem to have...

@martin-bellamy Martin, thanks for arranging this and do thank Dave once again for his very interesting piece on Alan Browne. There is nothing more...

Malcolm and Pres J Anyone who has served on a committee will recognise that when someone opens his remarks with the words "with respect", what is li...

Thanks Martin for an interesting and informative piece. We used to celebrate Carlin Sunday every year when I was growing up in the 1940s. The story my...

Best wishes, Bob. Hope you are out soon We root for each other As well as the Boro

Two great previous posts, Selwyn. Many thanks. And thanks too for the courtesy and restraint in your earlier post in not mentioning the fact that I ha...

Absolutely agree Andy. This has been a great window representing a complete change of focus from the previous three or four years. I think there was a...

@exmil Don't really understand the logic of this. It's great news if it means that Hackney is definitely staying. Good news for both Law and the cl...

@k-p-in-spain Best wishes to you, too, KP. I hope that both you and your brother come through this difficult period well. Seeing a large number of ...

Malcolm, great to have you back. Your contributions have been greatly missed, particularly on the Scottish scene. Best wishes for your recuperation.

@original-fat-bob Bob, the headline to that article is a case in point to my post above. "Michael Carrick lined up for shock Manchester United Ro...

A brilliant summary of our through-the-looking-glass opening to the season, Andy, and as you rightly say it's a perspective that equally applies, thou...

Thanks Dormo, well written, entertaining and informative as always. Who knows which Boro will turn up? In last season's 3-3 draw we played brilliantl...

@chris-from-barlby I thought I was being diplomatic. I never look at it now, because the 'service' used to run to a sentence every five minutes or ...

Thanks for your kind words and concern, Clive. I greatly appreciate them. I'm not yet able to get to games but I manage to access a good stream of Bor...

@werdermouth Other similarities from last season: Silvera, for all of his good play, isn't really a wing back, so that defensively we are still w...

One of the curiosities of yesterday's game was well picked up by Werder. When asked about the first 10 minutes, Edwards spoke afterwards about the imp...

MoM for me was Hackney. There was no suggestion that his thoughts were elsewhere, and we really are in with a chance if we can keep hold of him. We sh...
