@pedro I, too, thought it was a penalty at the time. Without VAR, it’s extremely difficult for any referee to get those calls correct in real time and...

@exmil I see that Bamford scored early on for United today and, whilst I’ve never been a massive fan of Paddy B, there’s a part of me that thinks we’d...

For me one of the biggest disappointments this season has been the inability of two players in particular to shoot and hit the target. Both HH and ...

So we failed to beat a team with a low block, park the bus mentality. The same team who Coventry failed to beat very recently. I don’t think KH pic...

Another info packed starter, Powmill - thanks for getting us off and running, despite your hectic schedule. If we don’t beat the likes of Oxford we...

I’d agree with those selections, KP. Sarmiento looked to give us something different up front and DS seemed much sharper than I’d seen before from him...

I’m not downhearted at all. There aren’t many teams who’ll be able to cope with us this season. I think SB was at fault for the second goal but we nee...

45 minutes to go. We look second best but it’s not over yet - let’s see what KH can do at halftime. We’re struggling to hang on to the ball in midf...

Sky or ITV? I’m sticking with Sky as usual. Like a pair of lucky underpants.

@powmillnaemore We’ve been in Leith today. Had lunch in the Teuchters Landing pub - good to get out of the cold wind.

@forever-dormo Definitely Private Eye. I think the column is still running. Here’s the Guardian’s take on tonight’s match:/p>

@stircrazy Harsh…

@forever-dormo David Vine has been in touch - any vacancies amongst the Superstars?

@pedro Very interesting - let’s hope it works on Monday. I wonder what opposition managers will do to counter the threat.

And the good news is… … there are two Smart TVs in the cottage. Happy days.

@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.
