Thanks, Andy. What uplifting times. I dare say that many of us allow ourselves a glimpse at other blogs and podcasts and from what I have seen there s...

@lenmasterman Yes. We did notice that at the time.   Edit: Just to be clear. This was a reply to your first post, not your second! &nb...

I had an inspirational English teacher at the of age 11. Some of you here may be able to guess his name. Regarding one of our other topics, footba...

A very belated thank you to Martin for so cleverly evoking that parallel Enid Blyton universe that many of us probably imagine ourselves having inhabi...

@clive-hurren Well I was feeling relatively positive about next Wednesday, but now me timbers are properly shivered. Brilliant work, Clive

I'm rapidly reaching the conclusion that Tommy Conway's biggest problem is the number on his shirt. If it was anything other than 9 he wouldn't have s...

Well, that was a satisfactory way to extricate ourselves from an unwanted cup. Much better than a 4-0 home defeat to Doncaster Rovers. Our fans enjoye...

I suspect a wave of pessimism swept Teesside when that team sheet was announced. Let's hope the reality is somewhat better.

You could imagine that the MC brand of possession-based football didn't help Micah Hamilton. Perhaps he was so focussed on not losing the much-prized ...

It seems that so many of us have been affected, of course by the death of Chris Rea, but also very much by Len's post, especially the paragraph quoted...

That's a fantastic piece of work, Martin. A merry and points-filled Christmas to all. Except Wolves.

Quite a few years ago I made a video about my life story. Not that there was much to tell, more a way of trying out digital video editing. I used Stee...

@clive-hurren I agree with you I think KH made it pretty clear in his interviews yesterday that there's much more to be learned from a def...

Brilliant, Andy. An excellent summary of where we are and where we might end up. Of course, I especially enjoyed Del Boy's van

Thanks Jarkko. I really enjoyed that. When I used to have to work away down south a lot, I used to fill in time away from the family by visiting the l...

@forever-dormo With a rope or two we might pull the points through.

Thanks, Clive, for a highly entertaining and informative opener. Having family connections to Hull (including my Dad having been posted at Spurn Head ...

Craig Johns is back. I never thought I'd miss his mangled grammar, constant recycling of old quotes from earlier interviews / press conferences, ...

@jarkko Oops. Thanks for the correction.

If it's true, it looks like SG has managed to avoid poaching another team's manager. However, this one does seem to have been waiting in the queue for...

As far as I can see, every Premier League club has someone called Director of Football or Sporting Director or Technical Director. Also 18 of the 24 C...

It was interesting to see the faith shown in George McCormick today. It was reminiscent of the promotion of HH in the immediate aftermath of the depar...

Impressive interview with Adi Viveash on the MFC website. He doesn't sound to me as though he's a man about to follow RE to Wolves

I thought there was a lot to like about tonight's performance. There was still a lot a disfunction across the front four. Bad first touches, the misco...

@clive-hurren The windmill arms are definitely the thing (or should that be things?) that I remember most about George Smith.

@lenmasterman So that would make you 23 or 24 when you taught me in class 1G at Acklam Hall. Seems just like yesterday, ish.

Well that was good. The coaching staff certainly look to have made good use of the international break. Strelec excepted, the selections were made fro...

@andy-r I agree that a lot will depend upon the wingbacks. Brittain and Target are not quite the prolific crossers that Giles, Jones and especially...

Thanks for the great opener, Andy. The Tommy Conway question is certainly a very interesting one. I think it reaches into questions across the whole o...

Thanks Selwyn. That's a really absorbing opener, full of well thought through points. I liked the PRE-INTRO section. I suppose it's natural to worry t...
