“It's a good game the pitch is perfect. Both unlucky not to score. Great shot by Knocky it's a pity he ain't a team player though. Good to watch though”

“Wisp or two of snow it may be, but with gridlock then you ain't gonna get to the game easily at all as even buses have stopped now!! Personally have an 80 mile round trip myself and have had to waste a match on my season ticket tonight due to our lovely friends from SKY inisisting on game going ahead.
By the way have Boro even got to the ground yet?!?”
