Following on from Ken's typically excellent Wednesday history, one of the highlight's of my youth was the pleasure of seeing the young Derek Dooley at...
After Monk and Pulis, surely Wednesday's next logical choice of gaffer has to be Woodgate to complete their hat-trick of employing failed ex-Boro boss...
Comments on Atsu from Newcatle fans could scarcely be worse. They describe him as the worst player ever to play for the club, not fit for the Northern...
Merry Christmas to all friends and contributors who have made this blog one of my must-reads every day of the past year. Stay safe, get the vaccine ev...
A great win and a triumph of organisation, team spirit and togetherness, typified by George Saville's gutsy, all-action M-o-M performance. Morsy, ...
What a turn up This is Huddersfield in reverse. Blues totally dominant for 25 minutes and getting a well deserved goal Us not at the races, then t...
Best wishes to you both, RR. Hope it goes well. Don't fancy the team NW's put out. No Watmore, Spence or Akpom. We are relying on Britt and Wing...
Excellent report, RR, and much as I saw it. The dominant narrative at the club this week has been about the thinness of the squad, avoiding injuries...
Boro came out for the second half with the required higher tempo and got the goal they needed. Bettinelli"s spillage of a routine shot led to Morsy'...
A first half utterly devoid of interest, energy and skill. What happened to the dynamic start of just four days ago? Our torpid start typified by Be...
Excellent report, RR. Many thanks
Well done Jarkko for predicting this almost unpredictable score. Watmore my M-o-M with Tav a close second. These two playing just behind the strike...
Progressive team selection. Just as I was downcast when seeing the selection at Preston, I felt much more optimistic this time. Watmore and Tav bo...
Team selection as good as it could be under the circs. Roberts for Watmore after an hour I'd imagine. 2-1 to us
@plato We've stopped doing it already. After a few months. For how long is it to go on? How about until the racist abuse by a tiny minority has ...
A sober and realistic assessment from the manager. Small squad, playing resources over-stretched, key players out, can't buy a goal either from set-p...
Lost 3-0 and lucky to get away with that scoreline, Preston also hitting the bar Still we managed a shot on goal after 70 minutes. Britt and Akp...
Another borefest after 45 minutes. We have zero attacking intent against a team with one of the poorest home records in the league. No Tav, so n...
Thanks Martin, this was a typically excellent piece by one of the best football writer we have at the moment. Whilst there are excellent crossers li...
A great initiative, GHW. Plenty to talk about there. NW saw a different game from most of us on here at Stoke. And for me the same applies to the ...
Agree RR. My impressions on the previous thread are identical to yours.
Boro the poorer of two mediocre teams. An awful game with both sides giving away far too many free kicks and little cohesive play. As difficult to p...
Before a ball was kicked I thought we would struggle in these opening games of the season, having looked at the fixture list. In fact we have done muc...
@grovehillwallah Terrific link, which I really enjoyed. Thanks for passing it on
Brilliant piece, Werder. Loved the reference to Giuliani, though, of course, he was caught fiddling when he gambolled and drew the short straw again...
Terrific report, RR, both detailed and accurate. I agree with every word. On Tav's free-kick on the half-time whistle, I was pleased that the decis...
A good win against a good team. For me this was our best performance of the season, and we looked to be in control until the final 10 minutes. Very ...
