Well it's a long time since I came in the top two in anything. Second year 80 yards hurdles, springs to mind most readily and that lingers in the memo...

The AI Law article clarified some things for me. The main point that came over to me was that the most significant issue facing the panel is proporti...

Well I didn't expect the EFL to leave the door ajar for the Boro in such a bizarre way. Almost all outcomes now seem either weird or somewhat unfair ...

Well I suppose we've spent the last few weeks thinking that we are bound to capitulate in the playoffs. At least with that performance there wer...

If you throw four tails in a row, what are the chances to that fifth throw will be a tail? I think we all know that the correct as answer is 50/50, bu...

Thanks for that stunning piece of work, Martin. Whatever happens in last 6, or 8 or 9 games this season, I don't want to forget how much I've enjoye...

The volume of attacking opportunities that we are frittering away is beyond parody. Something seems to have got into the heads of all the team, not ju...

@stircrazy Of course not. That was all my own work. I'll swear to my dying day that it was spell checker or autocorrect or something, but my best b...

What do you make of Kim Hellberg's Slow Gardening Clubs sweatshirt today, with the subtitle 'Let nature take it's time'? Was that a subliminal messa...

I too found that Len's final paragraph really resonated with me. In the weeks before the Coventry match, maybe I was looking more avidly than previo...

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...
