My understanding was he liked and likes both Robson & karanka as people but when we went down with Robbo he said they stayed unified as a club & went back up whereas karanka responded to the pressure by blaming everyone else players back room staff etc. which fits with him flouncing off in...

He never ever said we’ll smash the league he said he hopes we’d smash the league & what was wrong with that? A really impressive event

Always A thing of elegant festive beauty in a dark world. I play “I bet Yule. Look good on the dance floor” that you did for me Every year Salut H

For those of you who knew him My cousin Dave Golightly has passed away recently. Gillandi Miniature G & his brother Nigel began the fanzine with our David playing a part I think. A proper boro fan & a person who listened so closely and lovingly to music it was a thing of beauty to watch him...

Never liked them but respected a club with an identity and traditions, Not a football club anymore just a mask worn to disguise a. Sadistic organised crime operation

Desperately sad to hear about this. Tom was hugely knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about music, and a lovely lad. A one off. Condolences to Tom’s family.

Harsh but big games call for big decisions. He doesn’t have to be on the bench to bring the noise levels up tho. You can suspend him from a blimp above the ground if you like I wouldn’t want him doing his scrapping on the touch line though. The calm vibe is as you say important. Bung him in...

…it’d take the roof off the stadium

Not a bad game over all for the officials but he blew too quickly for a Boro free kick outside their box when it led to a freak but perfectly legit o.g.

I said exactly the same Angus, they were totally flat footed when we attacked.

Never fight with a pig, you both get filthy and the pig enjoys it (Harsh on pigs, animals with more sense and sensitivity than many humans but the analogy works)

I never knew that was “badgers” surely not many other songs mention brer badger. I thought it was “that just” but now you say it plus the previously mentioned potatoes etc of course it’s “badgers”

For a band that was all about style Ferry wrote some weirdly unmusical Lyrics “rhododendron is a nice flowah” and “growing potatoes by the score”. Much more interesting than their later more polished malarkey

Following seeing delight no 1 Temenos I went to Sound it Out Records (Delight no 3?) and bought a nice New vinyl copy of For Your Pleasure. Every sound on that album from “There’s a new sensation “ through to Judy Dench whispering “you don’t ask why” is perfect Nearly every album has a duff...

With due cap doffing to JB Preistley and our own mighty Dan Gray, who have both wrote fine books in the neglected subject of “delight”. I had two tiny moments of delight yesterday. The first was a visit to Temenos yesterday. Getting right up close to this gives me a little buzz. Don’t know...
