It's a question of language. I'd prefer to say that Sarmiento has been a very successful impact player rather than the somewhat derogatory "bench play...
Best wishes on your retirement, Jarkko. You will have a great time. I haven't regretted a single day. And hope you enjoy the game, Bob. Be careful o...
Thanks Jarkko for bringing us up to date on Norwich. Your opener is very well written and organised, a reflection of the amount of thought and work th...
Wonderful, Martin, and laugh out loud funny with your references to Billy Woof, Lowcock's ginger beer, Newbould's pork pies and much more, bringing th...
Forget what I said at half-time, eventually we turned out worthy winners. We need to talk about Alan Browne, a seasoned pro who was comfortably M-o-M,...
Agree with Andy, a terrible first half. Gilbert awful (and I'm one of his fans), Silvera, Conway., and Whittaker at their most ineffectual, Malanda f...
Aagh Clive lad, you deserve pieces of eight after that wonderful tour de force. Four pieces for each piece. The Treasure, I'll 'and over in the Benb...
@werdermouth Many thanks, Werder. Where would we be without you?
Absolutely brilliant Chris. Very real, very imaginative and very entertaining. It takes a lot of courage to start any piece of writing from where you ...
@powmillnaemore Thanks for all of this splendid and dedicated work, Powmill ,and congratulations on being so far ahead of the field. Had I been you...
Malanda had another great game yesterday and I particularly liked the way in which he was prepared to exploit any space in front of him and bring the ...
@pedro Not including McGree aand Lewis O'Brien, who were drafted in there as emergency cover, obviously.
@pedro Left backs? Any advance on eight?
Been pushed for time this week, but just wanted to say thanks to Andy for a typically well organised and beautifully written starter that covered all ...
I must be from Barcelona,KP - I know nothing. I'll take just a tiny crumb of comfort from the fact that after failing to score over the past 7 hours...
An even game with S'ton having the clearest-cut chances. Don't understand why we are giving Azaz the freedom of the park. Close him down, put in a co...
Premier League quality from Brittain in the first half, with Ayling not far behind. The game gets more difficult for us the longer it goes on. Derby's...
Very sad to hear of the passing of Gordon Jones. I have thought of Gordonon frequently over the past couple of seasons when up to seven different p...
Never mind about New Year, Werder, I thought we were back to November 5th with such a dazzling display of verbal pyrotechnics. They were especially im...
Is there no end to the creativity and imagination of this blog's leader writers? The strictly true answer to that question is "yes", since my turn i...
@powmillnaemore I love living on the Wirral, but the emotional pull of the motorways in getting there I find completely resistible.
Chris Rea's "Driving Home for Christmas" is a lovely song and justifiably popular because it taps into the experience of almost everyone's most sentim...
One for the Hall of Fame Thanks to our Martin's belle aim Ee, we all got a mention That eases the tension Before our big Boxing Day game ...
@original-fat-bob Yes, Bob, see my earlier post.
Great analyses on here re- yesterday's game. Special plaudits to Bob for publicly querying the Nypan substitution as it happened rather than after the...
It won't happen. It probably shouldn't happen. And I don't think it will happen. But there is a case for dropping Tommy Conway to the bench for this...
Excellent, as ever Andy. You could scarcely get a a more incisive and accurate analysis of where we are now, and of how we got here. And your account ...
@werdermouth Thanks Werder. I'll get something to you on or before Jan 3rd.
@selwynoz No, it's fine. I felt that I had to opt out of the intros, since when they were being planned I was just out of hospital and couldn't gua...
