@forever-dormo One of my favourite cryptic crossword clues: "He saw himself as winning on the pools" (9)
btw I had thought that the polls running level in the US election presaged a Trump win analogous to the Brexit referendum with large numbers somewhat ...
@forever-dormo With the greatest respect, Dormo, I really don't think there is any comparison to be made between Trump and Harris in terms of their...
We drew 6-6 at Charlton in the early 60s, our defence letting in goals as fast as Cloughie was scoring them at the other end. There was another rema...
@mw-in-darwin Edmundson appeared to pull his man back as he was breaking through when he was already on a yellow. It might well have been penalised...
Boro brilliant after a very uncertain start. Once we got our passing game going we were much the better side. Doke causing all kinds of problems and h...
An excellent opener Powmill, and I agree with your sentiments. Latte Lath really came good as our mainline striker at the end of last season, but ea...
I'm pushed for time today, but I do want to say how much I enjoyed Clive's typically well-written polemical piece which did exactly what he would have...
Werder, belated thanks for a typically well-written opener, and best wishes to KP, Bob and exmil for speedy recoveries. Yet another international br...
Best wishes KP. I hope it all goes well
Great news exmil and I agree with you about both the Boro and life. We played really well at Watford- played them off the park for most of the game-...
A very interesting and comprehensive piece of research, Selwyn, matching the high quality of your previous openers .It's a fascinating and original co...
@powmillnaemore Thanks for the retrieval powmill. Much appreciated
@chris-from-barlby Chris, Funnily enough I did the leader piece last season on the West Brom v Boro game which looked at the historic parallels and...
Thanks for an excellent opener, Powmill. You may well be right that the Baggies will take the game to the Boro, but that hasn't been Corberan's approa...
I would say in the ref's defence that although it was not a dirty or even particularly robust game, almost all of the cards were well justified. It...
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...
