@jarkko I think the expression comes from the game of bowls, traditionally played outside on grass greens. The aim is to roll your bowl closest to a s...
An excellent headliner P-N, and I totally accept what you say about fine margins. Maybe I was clutching at straws with my rub of the green comments! ...
@jarkko Desperate times, call for desperate measures.
The trouble is, loyalty is a two way street. All managers (and politicians) know that their jobs will ultimately end in failure - no matter how good t...
@presidentjump An interesting article but this quote made me think: ”I worked with some fantastic doctors and medical teams, but they always knew th...
@k-p-in-spain I’ve got to say those won’t be my thoughts if we don’t win on Saturday. I’m with PJump on this - a different rub of the green and we’d a...
@presidentjump I think I agree about us not being far away although I’m struggling to see who’s going to score. How many of us were confident that Con...
This is a crazy league. A few wins can make a huge difference - we really need three points on Saturday.
I’ve no idea what HH was doing there. Looked outside the area though.
Lashing down at the King Power - no sign of it stopping during the game either.
No Fry in the squad. Do we know how badly injured he is?
I don’t want to be that bloke, but compare and contrast the behaviour and class of Stuart Boam, with that of our ex-player Djed Spence this week. It’s...
@original-fat-bob I know we all look back with rose tinted glasses, but my recollection of watching Stuart Boam is of him being a colossus in defence,...
@original-fat-bob Thanks Bob.
@powmillnaemore Sometimes it’s hard to see the wood from the trees!
Crazy isn’t it?
@pedro Thanks for that - I saw it when I did a search and thought it looked good.
A plea for help from PNE Dave’s wife. She wants to book Dave a surprise weekend away at the end of January, incorporating watching the game at the Riv...
The answer to that question is definitely Yes. Will we maintain that position if we don’t start to pick up points? Definitely not.

@lenmasterman The behaviour of the Man Utd players that day was a disgrace - Bosnich saving the penalty and Beckham scoring such a soft goal to win th...
@presidentjump I couldn’t agree more about SG. It always amuses me when fans online bemoan the fact that he hasn’t sold up to some foreign billionaire...
This is an interesting article from the Observer - will we ever have an owner rich enough to compete in the EPL?
I’m due to write the starter for the Leicester game on Tuesday but have a bit of a dilemma, timing wise. I’d usually wait until Monday to publish, to ...
Many thanks for a very well researched opener, Andy. Like you, I think Saturday’s game will be a tough one, but if we’re going to achieve promotion...
If I remember correctly the current population of Middlesbrough is around 150,000. All’s well that ends well?
@malcolm The trouble is, that as a striker, it’s imperative that he contributes a significant number of goals if he wants to keep his place in the tea...
Good work, FD - I assume you’ll end this winter’s tale with an exit, pursued by a bear.
We’re going to have to take our chances if we’re going to maintain our league position. Strelec seemed particularly anonymous tonight and for all the ...
