Just done my last report for @5liveSport ending 51 yrs at the Beeb & 44 in the Sports Dept. My decision. Will remain on this platform, fulminating & eulogising in equal measure. Thanks for listening & ( usually) the supportive feedback.

There's a £2 free Derby bet for every reader in this week's edition of @HpoolMail courtesy of our friends at Chisholm Bookmakers. I'm tempted by an each/way punt on #StanhopeGardens at 16/1.

Hard to believe it is 20 years today since #Hartlepool United reached the League 1 play offs at the expense of #Bournemouth - that's the same #Bournemouth now challenging for Europe while #hufc are stranded in the National League.
