Many possibles, some of whom could bring in a hefty sum. Not one of our three keepers are the best we could get. Could be one of those on top of Moore. Could be Bidders or JDS if we have Milan mk ii lined up. Could be Eccles or Sheaf if we have two CDM in sight. Could easily be Allen...

I'd like to see Wilson given a chance at left back, now we are using a back four.

Ahem.

I said at half time we needed to step up. We did. We were really twisting their melons for most of the 45. I'm no expert but the difference I saw was bringing Tats and Simms into the game more. Magnificent cross from Bidders for the third. For them. Jones is a special player on the right...

I think we, are lucky to be level at half time. We are not playing too badly but Boro have been better and created lots of dangerous chances. Collins has pulled off a lot of good saves and I'd say he's keeping us in it. Our biggest issue is defence. We are all at sixes and sevens too often...

Is there any reason why we cannot put players on the line for free kicks? So one tall player against each post? It's done for corners, why not free kicks?

Shocking equaliser, why leave a hole in that wall? East Germany knew how to build a wall. If they wanted to get through that one they had to burrow underneath or throw themselves against it in some kind of vain martyrdom statement. Open letter to Mark Robins: Study the Berlin Wall, Mark...

The team has been fucking purring since the substitutions. Expect more goals.

Swansea are keeping the ball mostly well and are having their moments. However we are the better side. Some lovely one-touch footy at times and we look dangerous. Allen and Sheaf having a faff for their goal. Palmer, Wright, Saka the pick of the bunch for us. Collins made a good save from a...

I'd forgotten about those satin scarves from the 70s. Everyone used to tie them around their wrist.

Parachutes. If Cal wants it then they will pay.

Started slowly. Dominated possession and several good chances after the goal. Should have put another away diring that spell. Weds coming back into it in the last 10 minutes and hit an uncontested header high and wide. Need a second goal.

Took me a few seconds to realise you meant the play offs. Not sure that an atmosphere akin to a po is what we, want... Rather stagnant and smelly.

They are all excellent, apart from juvenillea and the plays. Brighton Rock is another recognised classic but I prefer the foreign-themed entertainments. I know Brighton; I can imagine Haiti, Lima, Saigon et alia.

Bumping old threads is not a victimless crime. Spare a thought for ccfcchris as we approach this very special time of the year. Back in August he believed he had made the definitive and closing comment about Callum Styles. He now has to face Christmas knowing that he has been usurped and...

We were quite poor for the first 25. Defended well but passing was awful; just gave it back to them immediately. Wright and Simms not holding it up when they did get the ball. Improved in the last 20 but still feel it could go either way.

I read a lot of books. These are my all time favourite novels (I read non-fiction too but those are usually depressing): * Scoop and Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh. * Atonement by Ian McEwan. Not fashionable but I also rate Saturday. * The Magus by John Fowles * I love Graham...

In an ideal world, we could look at rolling over contracts in the same way as buying a new player. We would pay £5m for Cal, so why not pay that in salary to keep him? I think the answer lies in jealousy and the unrest it would cause with other players. Squad unrest would be worse than losing...

Naughty!

It definitely happened, I was there. It was wrong. But it isn't the fans that were culpable nor the current regime. And as you write, it was a long time ago. I'm fine with Mackems not liking it, so long as it's in the pantomime spirit of football and doesn't spill over in real anger. Good...
