@ken There’s a running joke in Wigan that he ALWAYS mentions his broken FA Cup Final leg in any football related interview.

I see SG as a kinder, more sane version of Dave Whelan, the ex owner of Wigan Athletic. DW has a reputation in the town of being a ruthless businessma...

I can’t help feeling that if a manager is sent off he should have to go to the dressing room, rather than being allowed to sit with the subs within sh...

There’s certainly no love lost between Burnley and Blackburn (and you’re right about the BB postcodes) but you can throw Bolton into the mix too. Si...

I’m really warming to Sam Morsy. His support from midfield has been great. There’s a tribute to him still in Wigan.  9609B803-7CCA-4905-...

My father’s family originally came from Worsborough, near Barnsley apparently. I guess they moved to Middlesbrough when the town was rapidly expanding...

I live deep in PNE territory, but there are lots of clubs in the North West and a massive rivalry between them. In some respects Boro fans are lucky, ...

I guess, for me, it’s been such a bonus being able to watch every game that I’m a bit more forgiving of the occasional commentary faux pas. I too get ...

I really miss them when we pick up the opposition’s commentary for away games. I like the fact that NM is involved with the club and knows the players...

Lovely to hear from you on here FD. Keep safe and (please) keep contributing. Oh, and enjoy your retirement.

It’s always hard to tell whether players are doing what comes naturally or they’ve been told by their coach to act that way. Our GK’s distribution i...

@malcolm You’d let Bollassie go but keep Spence?

Funnily enough, I hardly ever recall Bobby Charlton heading the ball (apart from the goal in the European cup Final).

@ken The weird thing is that that myth still exists. After the cyber bullying by RaRa fans at the weekend, I think it’s been safely dispelled. The ...

I think NW’s strangest decision this season was appointing BA as captain. I hope one day that he explains his reasoning. On a related note, I do th...

@john-richardson Surely, the word should be diaborocal...

@redcarred I’m happy to pay my £10 to watch on the iPad. Hopefully some of the money goes to MFC. Being able to watch the games has been a rare positi...

Bournemouth play Cardiff this week and I can’t work out what the best result for the Boro looks like. Any thoughts?

@redcarred You’ve explained it much better than I did. At times it felt to me like the main commentator hadn’t been to many games of football before -...

There were a couple of moments when I was reminded of how good some of our previous strikers have been. When Paddy had his shot saved just befo...

I’ve got to say that the Reading TV commentators seemed a bit poor to me. I’m looking forward to having our local guys back for the next game.

@lenmasterman However, we feel about the copy cat nature of Yusuf’s interviews, I’m sure we all agree that the abuse he’s been receiving on Twitter fr...

In Rugby League if a referee misses a dangerous tackle players can be put on report and a panel decides later in the week if any action needs to be ta...

Does anyone know what Leo’s role is at the moment? I’m not going to throw any criticism at him because what’s he’s been through must be unbearable, bu...

I watched the second half of the Wolves vs Leicester at the weekend, mainly to watch Adama. He doesn’t seemed to have improved greatly, as far as dist...

Disappointing, but I was encouraged by Bolassie’s performance. Is it just me who thinks Spence has gone backwards quite a bit?

I see that Lewis Wing has gone out on loan to Rotherham. I think that’s quite a good idea and hopefully he’ll come back refreshed and a better player.
