Always good to read anything you write, Dormo. So this was a very enjoyable opener since, as a Renaissance Man, you are knowledgeable about most thing...

Wow!!!!! A brilliant opener Jarkko, very well written in excellent English and meticulously researched. You have done a great deal of work, and we a...

I'm a Gilbert fan but it's a very tough ask for the lad. Has he kicked a ball in anger for us this season? He won't be match fit and that isn't what w...

Oh dear, the lack of midfield defensive cover leaves us wide open to being overrun in the middle of the park. We need to play with a solid defence awa...

There's a nice story of Stoppard receiving a call from Steven Spielberg offering him a multi-million dollar contract to write the screenplay for his n...

Lots of well-deserved tributes to Tom Stoppard, who died last week No one has yet mentioned his almost entirely forgotten TV play, Professional Fou...

I always look forward to your starters, Clive, and this had all of the qualities you bring to your writing. It is funny, interesting, stylishly writte...

Almost all of Hackney's yellow cards involved him pulling back an opponent. generally putting his team in greater danger as a result. He did this yest...

Fair play to the lads, they stuck to their task and ran out worthy winners. Derby sat deep to cling on to their advantage and didn't attempt to break ...

Derby look as though they could win this without too much trouble. They are much more dangerous on the break and from set pieces than we are trying to...

A lovely opener, Bob. Imaginative, funny and informative. Great to have such a different take. One of the glories of the blog. Many thanks especially ...

@rich-llewelyn-evans Thanks Rich. I thought your earlier post on the "calculated" (ie bleedin' great) risk of the new appointment was spot on.

Many thanks to you all for your birthday wishes, which have really enhanced what has been a splendid day, now to be rounded off with a televised match...

Selwyn, that was absolutely brilliant. I'll warrant that you will not find a better preview of the game from any other source. The blog is really ...

There was one aspect of the Oxford performance that was a distinct improvement on our previous displays and showed that Adi is working on the right li...

@pedro Hackney still M-o-M for me, always driving us forward covering every inch of the pitch and behind almost every decent Boro move. Whittaker...

We are losing because we failed to close down a wide man. Brittain stayed at home allowing an unmarked winger miles of space and when Oxford score Bri...

Best of luck, Bob. I hope your spell out on loan is brief and that you are back on our books early in the New Year. We need you for our promotion run-...

Thanks for the treat, Werder. As clever, funny, intelligent and beautifully written as we have come to expect.

The main task for the new boss was always going to be to get our forwards, and especially Scott's new young signings ,bedded in and firing by being br...

Powmill Could I persuade you to bump me up if I had the Edwards forecast in a double with Hellberg to be gone by Easter? And a treble with Scott to...

Brilliant Powmill, and thanks for the update and all of your hard work. Congrats to Bob for achieving such a runaway lead, and to your good self for...

I have always thought that some of the leading candidates for the job, such as Rodgers, O' Neil, Gerrard etc would be unlikely to accept a situation w...

@powmillnaemore Your excellent AI summary of the Boro's managerial situation presents the best evidence that I have yet seen for AI replacing journ...

As usual, I find Werder's comments and the discussion by everyone else on here to be far more informative than the re-heated rumours put out as news i...

@martin-bellamy .....if there were anyone else on it

@martin-bellamy I did something in some ways a bit more reprehensible than suggesting Edwards be sacked a few weeks ago. I predicted he would be ...

I may be completely mistaken, but if I am not, then Kieran Scott's apparent absence from yesterday's must-attend-in-solidarity game surely requires so...

@rich-llewelyn-evans Rich, just in case you happen to wonder why I had to edit a 3 word comment, it was because I addressed you ( as probably only ...

@rich-llewelyn-evans Excellent post, Rich.
