Rusty start from Boro which culminated in the visitors taking the lead. It was a terrific low strike from Clark but both Howson and Hackney will be di...
Boro unchanged for the fifth straight game.
I’m afraid my footballing history doesn’t back as far as many here it seems. Below is my take on a best XI of players I’ve seen (though mostly on TV):...
@philip-of-huddersfield I think it’s Cristiano Ronaldo you’re comparing Messi to, rather than Ronaldinho. However, Ronaldinho was another in rece...
I'd agree that the signing of Juninho disrupted a fantastic partnership between Hignett and Barmby but I have to say, I think Juninho was on a complet...
@original-fat-bob I’m just glad not to be sending us down!
Happy to report that after 12 intense weeks my jury service has now ended. We can now concentrate on all matters Boro… oh
That’s absolutely mad after the start we’ve had isn’t it? Best league in the world?
Have a look back at the last 5 or 6 games. How good are Boro in the second half these days?
Missed the game (again) today due to a wedding in stunning Edinburgh. Just logged on to see the score - wow! Lift off!
Ugh I’d forgotten about that 4-4 game. Petition to recall only happy occasions from now on!
@ken Just to point out in case you’re arranging your diary - the T20 World Cup Final is on SUNDAY morning. Come on England.
🤣🤣 Love it, Bob. Top work.
Ryan Giles deserves a bit of credit for last night. Whilst Akpom, Howson and Hackney will rightly get most of the plaudits, Giles defended very well a...
Three unbeaten and a very comfortable victory. Probably the most comfortable of the season. Genuine progress now. Good to see a couple of younger pl...
No contact on Forss but only because he pulled his leg away to hurdle the keeper. Had he left his leg there, as is customary in those situations, he’d...
Decent from Boro. Clearly the better side but lacking a ruthlessness up top. One or two slightly nervy moments and I don’t trust us to keep the clea...
Superb, Bob. Many thanks for that comprehensive preview. I’m interested to know what the situation is with Bola as it was a surprise to see him left...
@deleriad I had a similar thought around Akpom/Kane. I also think that, the more I see of him, Forss isn’t really a number 9. He’s more of a runner...
With Boro in the shape we’re in and adapting to a new coaching setup, we’ve really no right to expect top performances. Take the three points and mo...
Unfortunately I’m going to miss the game today but looking to reading all about our magnificent victory from my fellow Diasborans. Not quite sure wh...
@malcolm I presume it’s both, Malcolm - a loan deal to the end of the season but Boro have an option to recall in Jan if they want.
@pedro I think Coburn has largely come off the bench too, though he is still returning from injury. The ideal situation with Josh would have been...
@exmil I take your points re Scott but he didn't need to say anything in my opinion. His role is one for the long term and he can be judged on what...
I thought it was an interesting and ultimately quite uplifting press conference. Carrick came across much like he used to play: not flashy, not a hu...
Many thanks Bob for the opener. Just in time for the news today. Best of luck to Carrick. I hope he does brilliantly. I wonder where this leaves ...
