Best wishes exmil for a successful op and a speedy recovery A few years back I was given a date for an urgent skin cancer operation. I asked the spe...

@andy-r Thanks for the excellent link Andy. I'm not a stats man myself but it is a very well researched piece which actually suggests that we sho...

I'm in awe of your smashing opener, Jarkko, with so much well researched background. It sets us up nicely for Saturday's game. Congratulations on a gr...

It's been a matter of great regret to me that I was abroad when the Gibson meeting took place. I was invited but couldn't make it. What I was part...

@werdermouth Agree Werder, two points dropped against a very poor side. We should have had the game won in the first half, but after the opening go...

Werder, so sorry that you finally succumbed to Covid after all of your great advice on here at the height of the pandemic. Hope you manage to get back...

Hi Powmill I hope that you can repeat your excellent idea from last season of putting in an entry that represents the majority view of Diasboreans. ...

Thanks Martin for a very interesting and informative opener with some excellent source material. Sets us up beautifully for the game. Interesting re...

Sol, a great man, a wonderful personality, and some player, who created an indelible impression in his short time with us. He will be sorely missed ...

What a farce. Coburn, a young lad, one of our own and a striker who has never let us down, publicly humiliated and trailed over the past two weeks a...

"For good or bad", Bob ? I don't think so. For really excellent I'd say. An interesting first- hand view of Tuesday's game and a fine summary o...

Thanks Werder, good to see you back at the helm with your normal fluency and wit. It can't be easy to be satirical about a cup competition that has su...

As events unfolded at Derby last Saturday they did not really take me by surprise I was disappointed that six of the side which eviscerated Leeds we...

A great opener Clive which I thoroughly enjoyed: informative, entertaining and rendered in your own inimitable voice. I just hope that we manage to ...

Thanks Si for your typically thoughtful post, and a warm welcome back. It's a very subtle contribution which I had to read more than once to begin t...

Thanks KP for your generous comments. I've written about what I would like to see on team selection, but I agree with you that i don't think it will h...

Thanks Bob for a well written and very enjoyable piece composed at short notice after Saturday's game. It sets us up nicely for Wednesday evening. i...

A warm welcome back, powmill. You have been sorely missed, so it is good to know that you are recovering from your set back. Look forward to your co...

Thanks to everyone for your too kind words. I greatly appreciate it And to Werder for setting it all up for me, including the editing in of Clive's ...

Thanks Jarkko. Well spotted. Luke was a very talented young prospect and it was sad that injury meant that he was unable to build upon his early promi...

Thanks for all of your work on this, Clive. I think it's an excellent and very helpful idea. But, as you suggest, individual contributors shouldn't n...

@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...
