Bad evening for the pro-VAR crowd if that Wolves equaliser being ruled out is anything to go by. And to think, people want more of this. In our league as well!

Barcelona are in a massive mess. Is the league itself or any of the other clubs? I thought it was actually the opposite. They’re mostly in good shape because of La Liga’s stringent financial rules but aren’t able to compete with Premier League clubs for wages. But then who can, apart from Saudi...

The point being it can indeed be good watch. The problem is when that’s all your team does, such as Boro under Pulis. Just lumping it, knocking it down the channels, watching your isolated target man trying to get on the end of own flick-ons or, in the case of Jordan Hugill, actually attempting...

I’m being thrown a ‘party’ of sorts at my other half’s family home this weekend after the past 2-3 weeks! Otherwise I would be there. I was hoping to see Maidstone in the NLS playoffs this weekend but that’s been scuppered as well. I’m guessing we must live pretty close to each other? It’s a...

I’m just watching Match of the Day from last night and Murphy is analysing the Merseyside derby. He’s doing a bit on how good Dominic Calvert-Lewin was - and he was absolutely majestic - and he said he was “brilliant at winning headers and holding the ball up… it allows Everton to get up the...

I think this sort of thing is what’s driven me towards going to more and more lower-league football, National League South and below. It’s almost as if the game these absolute tossers are ripping apart is a different sport altogether tbh. It’s a circus really.

Again, what are his qualities? Going off WhoScored, statistically his main strengths are aerial duels and blocking. His weakness is concentration. His style of play is tackling and he gets fouled a lot. He’s your bog-standard combative midfielder. It sort of tallies up with my thoughts on him...

Sending stern letters. Grumbling. Flags.

I don’t want to be negative but I don’t really see a lot of others seem to see in terms of his quality. He’s very industrious and always shows for the ball, but as said above he doesn’t impact the way we play or the game itself like Howson and Hackney do. I always thought he’d sort of played off...

They’re likely to concede one on the break though. Havertz isn’t clinical or ruthless enough and I suspect it will cost them. It should be 2-0 now at least.

Got one working. Thank you!

I know, wash my mouth out etc, but just wondered if anyone had a link to the Arsenal match. I’ve had a look - typed it into Google - and can’t find one.

It’s not meant to be taken literally. As I said, some you get and some you don’t. The actual problem, in my opinion, is caused by those who cannot accept a mistake or a wrong call going against their team to the point where the laws and even the game itself must be changed to ensure they are...

It means you get some that go for you and some that don’t. Over the 33 years I’ve been supporting Boro I could give you a massive list of incidents that have gone both for and against us, from Kernghan having the ball lamped at him at Fratton Park and conceding a penalty for having the temerity...
