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...

That's a wonderful piece of writing Werder. We're very lucky to be able to read something of that quality, whilst bathing in the glow of unexpected su...

I've seen very little reaction to the departure of Alan Fettis, explanation about what's behind it or whether he is going to be directly replaced. H...

@clive-hurren Thanks Clive Nothing beats the first hand account

@mw-in-darwin Regarding hearing the crowd reaction to Whittaker's substitution, I didn't hear anything on the TV coverage. Mind you, I hardly heard...

@lenmasterman I thought the section in the Scott interview about selling the club to incoming players was interesting. For quite a few w...

@jarkko Yes. Perhaps the introduction of Strelec will be the trickiest one of the lot. His stellar goal last week has probably raised expectations ...

Slovakia lead Germany by 2-0. One goal and one assist from David Strelec.

@selwynoz As I read your post, I felt increasing levels of amazement at what has been achieved in this window. I think if you had asked most ...

@pedro Perhaps bringing on Lenihan in the last few minutes was deliberately designed to reassure the fans that he is fit and available, in the know...

The thing that encouraged me the most yesterday was the tenacity right through the team to win the so-called 50-50 balls. It just felt that whenever...

I'm quite surprised to see Neto Borges going out on loan. I think he was a major force for good as the season progressed last time. I suppose it's a...

@clive-hurren It doesn't seem to be there at all. Teesside Live seems to be all over the place at the moment, even without taking into account the ...

I've been having a look back at the baseless hopes that I posted the day before the season started and reviewing progress. Who knows how good or bad i...

@clive-hurren Well your scene-setter couldn't have set the scene more accurately. An addition to the pantheon of depressing home cup defeats to l...

I've found it very difficult to comment meaningfully in recent weeks, as so much of what lies ahead is unknown. As we head into the actual reali...

Thanks very much for running this, Powmill. I very much admire your spreadsheet work. I'll make it eleven entries, so that at least we've got a full...

@lenmasterman It's great to see you back in the outside world after your very long incarceration. I look forward to your next installment of Scott ...

@powmillnaemore A man after my own IT heart. I'm sad to say that I get far more pleasure than is rational from finding an excuse to apply a spreads...

@powmillnaemore I've been getting the same problem. I think if you click on this link directly, it will also take you back to page 1, but if you ...
