@forever-dormo Is there a spare seat for Eddie Waring?
@philip-of-huddersfield I really hope that he isn’t a “work alcoholic“ 😉 Ken used to get vexed at talk of a “six point game” as he quite rig...
Thanks for such an uplifting starter, Andy. Isn’t it great that we’ve all got smiles on our faces at the moment? I reckon we’d all take a draw on M...
15 games left to play including 8 at home. How many games do we need to win to get promoted? I’m pretty sure 10 will definitely do it, but the wins mi...
I like the way LA has perfected the ability to fall over at the slightest touch from a harrying attacker, inevitably winning us a free kick and reliev...
@pedro If there’s a Smart TV it won’t be a problem but there isn’t one mentioned in the cottage details. I’ll take my iPad just in case. I can’t imagi...
@mw-in-darwin Those are amazing stats. A win on Monday would be a great marker for the remainder of the season.
I’d not heard of Duns, so did a quick internet search. It seems that Pat Nevin was born there.
@werdermouth I had an acquaintance who was married to a Nolan sister (he’d played football for Torquay, amongst others) and lived in Blackpool. He inv...
My wife (implausibly, an Arsenal* fan) commented that the players looked as though they were enjoying themselves last night, something that, I suspect...
@powmillnaemore @werdermouth That’s really useful info about transmission of the Coventry game, although I intend to avoid doing a “Rod Hull”, so wo...
I’m away in Scotland next week - let’s hope the cottage has a Smart tv, otherwise I’ll be watching on my phone). We’re staying in Lauder (including...
Well that was nail biting. Top of the league.
@malcolm I’m watching on Sky, but I actually enjoy the Radio Tees commentary, Maddo cares about the Boro and I like that.
0-2 at HT. A brilliant first half. Maybe, just maybe, we are the real deal.

Who’s feeling nerves setting in? Having said that, I’m quietly confident about tonight - 1-2 win is my forecast.
Always better to have the points than relying on winning games in hand. Talking of hands, the future’s in ours now.
Hull currently 1-3 down at home to Bristol City after scoring first. That would be a great result for the Boro.
@philip-of-huddersfield I agree that a win is the ideal result but not losing is so important on Monday. As you say, good teams find a way to grab all...
Another thoroughly enjoyable (and topical) starter - thanks FD. If we can get the first goal, I’m confident of at least one point on Monday. Ideall...
@exmil You’d be much missed if you left. Indulge us old b*ggers a ramble from time to time. 😉
Meanwhile, up the road in Barcode land…
@werdermouth I’d agree with your view. I think of Diasboro as a virtual pub and I wouldn’t want to go to a pub where we could only talk about one subj...
@exmil You can’t leave until the bell has rung. Please put your chair on your desk before walking quietly out of the classroom. No running down the co...
I went to Guisborough Grammar but don’t recall too much emphasis on the formal naming of grammatical terms. I’ve just Googled, “gerund” and I’m probab...
@forever-dormo Things have changed in the last half century. 😉
A tough last 15 minutes to watch, but a deserved win and other results going our way. Hull seem to be on a charge at the moment, but it’s in our hands...
It occurs to me that if we’re going to win promotion this year we should be expecting to win games like today’s. As supporters we’re used to being ...
