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. ...
Phew - it nearly blew my champagne socialist cover. 😉
WARNING: that link took me to the Mail Online - not a place I ever want to be.
@paulinboro I know what you mean, although Mrs B is a closet Arsenal fan. It may possibly date back to the days of Thierry Henry or maybe when she ran...
@paulinboro From the EG: ”Boro had fought off competition from Spurs for the signature of Michael Ricketts, who made one appearance for England, and...
@paulinboro Maybe he scored in an earlier round. Given how few goals he scored, I’m surprised we can’t remember them all!
@powmillnaemore Crikey! I wasn’t expecting to be in that position.
Oh yes, I’d forgotten about him.
Funnily enough, I was just thinking about him earlier today.
@paulinboro Wikipedia has him down as scoring one League Cup game for us so you may well be correct. If he’s in any way responsible for the best sport...
