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.

Who’s feeling nerves setting in? Having said that, I’m quietly confident about tonight - 1-2 win is my forecast.
Always better to have the points than relying on winning games in hand. Talking of hands, the future’s in ours now.
Hull currently 1-3 down at home to Bristol City after scoring first. That would be a great result for the Boro.
@philip-of-huddersfield I agree that a win is the ideal result but not losing is so important on Monday. As you say, good teams find a way to grab all...
Another thoroughly enjoyable (and topical) starter - thanks FD. If we can get the first goal, I’m confident of at least one point on Monday. Ideall...
@exmil You’d be much missed if you left. Indulge us old b*ggers a ramble from time to time. 😉
Meanwhile, up the road in Barcode land…
