Please be careful what you wish for. Peterborough United terminated their contract with BBC Cambridgeshire at the beginning of the season. To listen to their matches with the new broadcaster they were charging £5 a match or £6.50 for the month. They have since rowed back on that and it may be...

I've watched Brighton at Forest a couple of times and, even at my level of understanding, you could see what you called "patterns of play" in open play. They must spend hours on it.

I am envious of you having the input of someone with a deep knowledge and understanding of the game at that level. The TV analysis of games is frustrating as it is often reduced to clichés such as "No commitment" or "didn't track back". It be interesting to see how Taylor matches up against...

One other thought. Didn't Morgan Whittaker start his career at Derby although he is from the Fulbeck area. Perhaps Derby scouted the Lincolnshire area and the lads, who have moved from their academy, may have been "locals"? Just a theory, mind.

Agreed. I debated on what age to put.

I would be referring to the early version. I probably have started reading it c.1957.

Was it not an U23 team? They certainly were not fully mature in physical development. I understood there were a couple of relative new lads from the Derby County academy, which has closed. On a very dry and hard pitch one of the ex Derby players had a some nice touches, especially in the first...

Could be wrong here but I thought the Football Echo was blue? Apologies if I am incorrect.

I take your point. I took the information, for the Ukrainians and Dutch, directly from the RAF Museum website, see below. I have undertaken no further research or reading beyond that and, therefore, do not know, specifically, where the data comes from. Having said that, it would have originated...

Death toll from the Dambusters raid c/o Wikipedia and the RAF Museum website. 53 aircrew 1,600 civilians – about 600 Germans and 1,000 forced labourers Specifically around the Möhne area - Ukrainian & Dutch labourers and French & Belgian Prisoners of War - dead 593. Missing 156.

Jeff Smith was pretty stylish. Two and a half seasons at the second level of English football and 351 appearances for the Imps. When relegated in 1961, the Daily Mirror commented that there were "several talented players in the side – notably young inside right Roger Holmes and sound left back...

Alex Woodyard. Loan at Tranmere https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/football/posh/peterborough-united-midfielder-leaves-for-tranmere-rovers-1-9190781

Ref was worth 7. Must be extremely difficult to to suss out who is holding in the attacker v defender tussles. Refs are not helped by players diving or feigning injury. Harry Toffolo, who I rate, has in the last two games, been beating the turf and waving his arm as though he has broken a leg...

Spot on re Eisa and Maddison. I have watched Posh four times this season and Eisa looks lightweight but does have the knack of scoring goals. Toney does the hard yards for him, I think, but clubs will take a punt on goalscorers. Conor Washington went from Posh to QPR for a rumoured £2.5/£3...

9 Neil Franklin. When Endsleigh sponsored the Football League members of the NAS/UWT teacher union were able to contact a local Ensleigh Insurance office and obtain tickets for that office's local team. I secured tickets for a Stoke game for myself and my son at the old Victoria Ground. When...

I recall that Mick Brown was booed as he left the pitch after being sent off for headbutting Kevin Hector in the League Cup game against Derby in 1967

1920/21? Season tickets in the Midland League should not be too expensive. Think they might do well (1st)
