I’ve got a feeling that we’re going to give a team an absolute pasting before long. I doubt it’ll be Watford (whenever we play them, FD 😉) but...
It’s tight isn’t it? If only we could put our chances away - the whole shape of the game changes if RM scores early on. Still every chance to take 3 p...
Another cracking starter, Powmill. The Throstles derivation was extremely interesting - I’m sure there are times when we’ve thought our team should be...
@exmil Good luck with it all. Let’s hope the lads can bring you some cheer in the way of goals.
There are a few comments on here about the fact that we’ve played fairly unambitious teams so far, but I wonder if we’ll perform better against teams ...
Thanks for the excellent starter Jarkko - full of info and much more erudite than most of us could be in our non-native language. We’ve got to win on ...
Got to say, I can’t see what Borges brings to the team. There was a lot of criticism of Giles, particularly around his defending, but he could be reli...
@werdermouth Haven’t seen that clip for a while. 🤣
On the subject of NE history, can I recommend the book, “Cuddy” by Benjamin Myers? It’s a great read about St Cuthbert’s and Durham Cathedral, told ov...
A quick message from Dave: “Great holiday , way too short! Thanks to everyone on Diasboro for their supportive comments. Very happy to take a point fr...
@clive-hurren My memories of Paddy’s Hole centre around infrequent trips there with my Dad. Happy Days. I remember an episode of Landscape Artist of t...
@john-richardson Those photos are brilliant:
Speculation from the Lancashire Evening Post:/p>
@john-richardson I’ve just looked for that book on Amazon. I might have to pass. (I’ve just seen that Barter Books in Alnwick have it for £66 - if y...

@original-fat-bob This link’s for you, OFB.
@original-fat-bob No! Don’t say that, this Perisher will be very disappointed!
@pedro I do think that if we can score early on, the attitude from the opposition will have to change and scoring a second will be easier. Taking that...
@original-fat-bob I’ll be interested to see how IJ develops this season. He’s undoubtedly got talent, but still lacks the killer instinct in front of ...
I watched the game on my phone whilst Mrs B drove us home from Shropshire. We’ll need to start scoring goals from open play if we’re going to maintain...
Many thanks for another starter, OFB. On a related subject I asked a couple of weeks ago if I’ve been allocated the Cardiff game in January as my init...
More of the same then as far as goal scoring is concerned. Some big chances there, not put away - will they cost us the game?
@peter-surtees I’ve had a play around with the tv here and I’ve managed to sign in to Now Tv which is how I get Sky at home. It’s showing that the gam...
Thanks guys. We’re away in Devon for a few days for a family funeral but hopefully I’ll be able to watch it on my iPad.
Another informative and humorous starter - thanks Werder. Does anyone know if the game is available to watch anywhere? Sky maybe?
@lenmasterman Now, that’s a thought provoking post, if ever I read one. Good work, Len.
@andy-r Just checking - have I been allocated Cardiff on 4th Jan? I think I stuck my hand up for Preston and Blackburn, home and away but my initials ...
Good work, Clive - I really enjoyed the many and varied Pompey theories. We need to win this one - let’s hope we’re not going through that familiar st...
