Well, hopefully everyone is into the swing of the 2026-27 Prediction League, though it seems several are keeping their powder dry. Last week was a low-scoring week, but Week 3 might be a chance to show our bouncebackability. (I'm hooked on managers' quotes this week). Talking of 'hooking', those with an interest in fishing…

What’s happened to Harvey Knibbs?
Remember the excitement of that winning goal in injury time in our first game back in the Championship last season?

It's the way of the modern world that all of us have to try and save for old age. And it is not the place for politics, even though politics affects our…

Any of you boffins have a view on the cyber attack warning issued on Monday? It seems the Ruskies are infiltrating not just the routers of business and commerce, but also our home hubs.

Your longest gap between away ground visits
I've decided to go to Vale on Saturday despite mostly limiting my away games to new grounds these days. I went there only once before, for an insipid 2 0 defeat in March 1997. That'll mean a gap of some 27 years between visits. (And probably another insipid 2 0 defeat.) What's your longest gap between away ground visits?
