Have a great day, Jarkko.

Great stuff, Andy, and a very astute tactical analysis of Monday's match. Thanks for this and all of your other leaders throughout the season. And p...

I have really appreciated your opening articles this season, Selwyn, and this was also excellent. You could scarcely have done a better job in your as...

The only things that will linger in the memory from this match were the two goals from Latte Lath. The first just reward for his persistence in holdin...

Thanks Powmill. In spite of your self-imposed limitations in not wishing to repeat yourself you have produced a fresh and very interesting piece, whic...

Thanks Bob for another first-class preview, and I echo the sentiment that every single opener this season has been well worth reading and is a tribute...

Thanks Martin. A typically splendid piece by, in my view , the best sports writer of the current generation. I try to catch everything he produces.

Brilliant, Clive. You are able, almost as a matter of routine, to produce articles that are far superior to most of the journalism one reads. Proves t...

A brief note on the wrong thread to say thanks to powmill for all of his great work on the COTS challenge, with apologies that i haven't been able to ...

@exmil good post exmil

Good post Pedro in response to equally interesting ones from Werder, Andy and others. The level of discussion on this forum is way above what is avail...

Thanks Dormo for a brilliant and comprehensive opener, especially as it was composed at such short notice after your excellent Birmingham piece. I'l...

On the face of it a scrappy 0-1 win by a very average Championship side over a very poor one. More positively, Boro's defensive formation was never ...

@powmillnaemore Thanks powmill. I'll try that next time.

Thanks Dormo for your very enjoyable opener. And apologies for my belated like and response. Your piece originally came up on a format that did not al...

Our three centre backs were the foundation for this win and a rare clean sheet. Clarke was an absolute rock, RvDB produced a match saving tackle with ...

@john-richardson John I'm just recovering from a cataract operation last week. It has gone well but the drops were a bit of a problem. I should h...

@jarkko Kings Park Rangers. A silly joke. One reference was probably too many.

Nice one, deleriad. An original approach from a creative mind. Looking at the Boro XI for the first KPR game I was reminded of how Engel was skinned...

Half time scoreline: Sheffield United 0 Arsenal 5 I wonder what Chris Wilder will be saying to his lads at the break: "You useless lot haven't...

Very enjoyable, Clive. Your distinctive voice comes though in everything you write, and we need that positivity, albeit undermined by a natural Boro s...

No pressure, Clive

@k-p-in-spain Have a good one, KP

Only Clarke and VDB were worthy of the shirt today. Latte lath had a reasonable first half As far as I am concerned they can clear the rest out at t...

@forever-dormo I believe that Dinner for One is played as a tradition around Christmas every year in many European countries and even in South Afri...

@forever-dormo "Abstention" (from drink) would do equally well, but I admire your punctiliousness. I gave a silent cheer for your earlier reference...

@martin-bellamy Indeed, Martin. It amounts to depressingly conclusive evidence that any failure to reach the play-offs would only be a case of disa...

I think that is the right decision, exmil. Thanks for all of your curating work on your challenge. Maybe next season... Lovely intro, Martin, whic...

Brilliant post, Peter. Intelligent and witty. Sums up all of the conflicting hopes, fears and aspirations of this thread and the remainder of the se...

@k-p-in-spain KP, you inspired me to have a go at this, and much to my astonishment, given my scepticism about the Boro's chances of making the pla...
