That’s such a prescient article. Be careful what you wish for, I guess. Is it worth leaving the Championship for a brief stay in the EPL? You all k...
I suspect it depends on which team you support!
Thanks for the starter, @ofb - it’s good that you’re feeling well enough to get us off and running for another “must win” game. I don’t think any o...
@forever-dormo Your post sort of concurs with my thoughts about promotion - is it worth it? Sure, we’d all love our team to be a successful, solid par...
@pedro I’ve got a suspicion that Whitaker was signed to team up with Azaz. They had quite a lot of success when paired together for Plymouth, but I do...
As someone who’s employed and managed people, I often wonder how I would have coped if, by being successful, my team then made themselves unsuitable f...
@werdermouth Thanks for that positive post - anything is still possible, however unlikely.
@gt I remember being puzzled that someone had Kent as their first name. I’m not sure I’ve come across another Kent since then either.
I think you’ll find it’s Travers Walton, retired CIA Agent. He’s been living a quiet life as a librarian, until he’s pulled back into service because ...
@exmil I think you may have thought that your rationale for hitting “like” is shared by every other poster. An understandable mistake, but, as others ...
A thoroughly comprehensive starter @selwynoz and a very interesting read. I’ve no idea what to expect on Saturday - any result seems possible, alth...
@gt What if the players just aren’t good enough? Is that entirely the managers fault? What if they don’t follow instructions? What if his key players...
@pedro I do actually believe that MC could get us back to the EPL dream (which I’m sure everyone is aware, isn’t really my dream). I think overall he’...
Crikey, the optimism didn’t last long did it? Ok, we lost a game to a team who are highly likely to achieve automatic promotion, but we could have won...
It’s been an interesting day. The car broke down on the way home from the dentist in Scarborough and I finally got back almost 5 hours later. What I r...
@exmil For me, having a season watching the big teams seems pointless if we get beaten every week. I’m pretty sure those teams can be watched every we...
Great stuff Powmill - it’s fantastic to feel the optimism on this forum - maybe it’s linked to the Spring sunshine! I think we’d all take a draw to...
I’ve just watched TC’s goal again and it really is first rate. Keeps himself onside, brilliant first touch, than buries it. Perfect. And, for your ...
@k-p-in-spain I agree about Borges, which is a bit of a volte-face for me, given how I criticised him earlier in the season for always passing the bal...
Job done. I’ve got a win at last. At Blackburn of all places.
Definitely. Plenty of boos at half time.
A shame Iheanacho missed that third. We could all have relaxed. Do not throw it way now, Boro.
@forever-dormo I can thoroughly recommend Benjamin Myers’ book, Cuddy, which tells the story of Cuthbert and the building of Durham Cathedral - it’s a...
@forever-dormo I used to live just south of Durham City in a small village called Hett. Happy days and a great place for my girls’ early years.
@forever-dormo Make Aidan Great Again!
@k-p-in-spain Maybe take solace from the fact that, despite some dire performances this season, we’re still within striking distance of the top 6. It’...
@forever-dormo We’re headed to York later this afternoon - will be passing quite close to Sutton.
@jarkko We were meant to be at that game too. I managed to get the Discovery to the pub in Blackburn for the planned pre-match meal, but it was touch ...
