Much as I have enjoyed Selwyn and Werder's deep dives into probability theory, my personal preference has been to assume that we won't be either promo...

Excellent opener, Selwyn. As with your Southampton piece, very well structured, thorough and interesting. It is the controlling intelligence and ori...

Great defensive performance with pace on the break saw us through. RVDB M-o-M for me (what a player) with O'Brien and Silvera giving their best perfor...

@exmil Sorry to dent your theory but Mr Allison did not deny us a penalty at Preston . That was a Mr Harrington. Allison reffed the Bristol City g...

Thanks Powmill for a brilliantly researched, well-written and comprehensive opener. I really enjoyed it and appreciated all of the time and dedicatio...

Great post Dormo. I liked the way that most of the answers are implicit in the questions that you raised. They are precisely the kind of questions t...

Happy Birthday, Bob. Have a good one

@pedro Thanks for posting, Pedro. Really interesting. Hull's problem is that they may well make the play-offs, but even they cannot compete with ...

Thanks Andy, excellent post.

@original-fat-bob You make a really great point on the role of Danks in the Rogers saga. He was obviously a key figure in signing the lad, as wel...

Inspired openers, Clive. Two for the price of one. Both excellent. Thanks for all of your hard work. Bob, hope you are both back in full voice soon

@deleriad Good spot. Geubell'e record of 4 Goals in 47 appearances means that his promo tape is full of clips showing him not scoring. It's 18 ...

@peter-surtees Lovely documentary, Peter. You can see that the child is father of the man. Also enjoyed the Mannion piece which accompanies it. ...

@deleriad Correct of course, but I prefer the old spelling of Canute. The revised version always reminds me of that dreadful French Connection logo

An absolute belter, Werder. Congratulations and many thanks.

The reports that Rogers is Emre's top choice for a winger to strengthen his attack caught me completely by surprise. The biggest shock on this front s...

@andy-r "Give Forss a go", seems to be the dominant theme amongst supporters at the moment, and you put the case very succinctly. We may not have...

A good win against a Millwall side whom I have rarely seen play better football. In the first half their energy and creativity swept us off our feet f...

Do you know what you get when you cross a mafioso with a postmodernist? An offer that you can't understand

Thanks for the kind comments. But can I beg everyone please to keep it in the family.

Of course Millwall are a family friendly club. So were the Cosa Nostra. Family values were central to their code. And the Krays absolutely idolise...

Thanks Clive for a well written, informative, and thoroughly enjoyable piece. If the Boro can attain the same level of quality under pressure for thei...

Liverpool 0 Fulham 1 after 20 mins I'm a socially tolerant fellow, but I never thought I would ever find myself yelling "Come on you Cottagers" in m...

Great night, wonderful performance and we achieved exactly what most of us hoped for but feared might be beyond us, given our injuries. That we won ...

A terrific opener, Clive. You were absolutely the right man for this game as the tone of your piece reflects quite brilliantly what the vast majorit...

@malcolm Or as PG Wodehouse once said,"You wouldn't confuse a Scotsman with a grievance with a ray of sunshine".

Extract from Northern Echo on the signing of Azaz: The Boro move progressed quickly this week - but it's a signing that's been 12 months in the maki...

Just been pondering the Boro's chances against Villa tomorrow. My reveries took me back to a domestic scene played out earlier this week. But firs...
