@original-fat-bob Your current health predicaments make your starter an even better production. Here’s hoping your surgery goes well - have no doubt, ...

Thanks for this long throw-in of a starter, ofb. It’s always very welcome to get a new intro to give us a new angle to discuss. I’ve always had a s...

@jarkko Not me, I’m afraid. I guess that Trophy Virgins banner will have to go in the bin now. IMG_2322.webp

@pedro I’m not keen on the Barcodes’ owners I’m afraid. I like Geordies though.

@clive-hurren The media will be full of it if they win. I’m glad I don’t have to watch the NE version of Look North here in Shropshire.

@jarkko Oh, I’d forgotten about the break. I can properly relax now.

We’re away for a couple of weeks in Shropshire, to open up our static van after the closure period in February - the sun is shining and I refuse to s...

@exmil Precisely the point I was trying to make. SG is damned if he does make a statement and damned if he doesn’t. Why bother being hoist by your own...

I hope no one thought I was criticising @ofb in my earlier posts. It certainly wasn’t my intent - I was just expressing a view that I’d rather have fu...

@gt That’s quite a pessimistic view. I really don’t think it’s SG’s job to explain what issues have arisen within the club. I’d agree that he has to d...

That would never catch on! I remember when Preston had their’s - they earned loads of additional income by renting it out to local teams during the we...

@original-fat-bob That’s too much of a tease for me - I’d rather know nothing than have to guess, although I appreciate the need for confidentiality.

A belter of a starter, Len. Your mention of the state of Luton’s pitch worries me - we play a short passing game, predicated on getting the ball forwa...

I’ve just rewatched the highlights of last night’s game - can you imagine the scenes and the despair on here if their GK had scored with that header n...

My original grammatical reply to @Jarkko is increasingly looking more valid or, at the very least, less incorrect. I’m a big believer in flexibility o...

Phew indeed and other results going our way so far.

@clive-hurren Phew - I’m not totally out on a limb then.

Oh no, not for the first time in my life, I’m now wracked* with self doubt. Greater minds than mine have spoken, and contradicted, what in my head, wa...

@jarkko It’s definitely correct to use “are”. “Middlesbrough side” comprises 11 players, hence the use for plural objects, even though “side” suggests...

@pedro I’ve got a feeling that the purchase of Whittaker was to complete a partnership with Azaz, replicating their success at Plymouth. As for MC, I ...

I’d be interested in a spreadsheet of the correlation of results by who wrote the starter for each game. We already know that Werdermouth is the kiss ...

@jarkko You’re right @Jarkko. And I was definitely laughing with you, not at you - I’m in awe of your language skills.

Great work Jarrko - your command of English is a thing to behold, although I’m not sure if this sentence was meant to say what it did - “So, some cred...

@pedro I’m still not sure what failure actually is, in this context. Maybe SG thinks developing players to sell on at a massive profit is in many ways...

@paulinboro I feel your pain - the least any supporter should be able to expect is that the players are busting a gut to win, especially when there’s ...

@forever-dormo Fortunately, my experience of my industry didn't extend to having to explain to customers and competitors in a public forum what we’d g...

@paulinboro As someone who thinks a 7th placed finish isn’t too bad a result at the end of the season, I’d rather we stuck with MC, rather than twisti...

It’s been such a beautiful day here in Yorkshire today that I’m resisting any influences that might bring me down. I’m having a glass half full day. ...
