@powmillnaemore Thanks mate! Honoured to be recognised among the real greats of the blog who have been honoured in previous poems.
@original-fat-bob Thanks Bob. I’ll drop you an email.
Thanks Bob. Much appreciated and hope I didn't keep you up all night by not taking this one on.
@original-fat-bob I don’t think I’ll get a chance tomorrow I’m afraid Bob.
Possibly one for you, Ken.... Below is a list of clubs in order of average finishing position since 1880. 1 Arsenal 2 Liverpool 3 Everton 4...
@jarkko Yes, I forgot about Wing. I agree that there a Championship player in there, though not sure it’s one Warnock particularly wants.
@deleriad I guess that just proves the point that it’s very much up for debate!
@k-p-in-spain The amount of recruitment is still up for debate in my view. A new keeper is a definite and replacement for some leavers if they do no...
@lenmasterman Quite possibly, Len, and certainly a factor in my view. Although it's harsh on Hall, the idea of McNair-Fry-Howson as a ball-playing...
An enjoyable game overall last night, certainly by contrast with much of the last four months. It was ironic that on the night that Britt and Fletch...
Boro pressing and passing. Nice to see.
As the proposed European Super League is a closed shop with no promotion or relegation, it only makes sense to those proposing it to draw a line in th...
My worry and suspicion on the dressing room “clique” is that it contains more than just those who are due to leave us. Warnock’s comments suggest as m...
@powmillnaemore Oh don't get me wrong, if it goes ahead then those clubs have to be expelled. But that would be a lose-lose situation.
@powmillnaemore I certainly hope they do NOT leave, though I am happy for them to face sanctions (10pts and a season-long transfer ban seems a nice ...
I’m far from calling for Warnock’s head but I do agree that it might be best for everyone if we have a fresh start in the summer. That, however, is en...
@jarkko I can’t comment on Jack Charlton but of the others, only Bruce Rioch could succeed with the current squad and circumstances. Robson and McCl...
@original-fat-bob I’ll have a go 👍 Happy Birthday Jarkko 🎂
I’m with you, Jarkko. If for no other reason than we’re overdue, I’m going for a 2-1 win today.
When it comes to using the loanees/players due to exit or not, I think it comes down to confidence levels of retaining them. I can see little point ...
Thanks Ken. Mowbray is a true Boro legend and a fantastic man as well. He was the first Boro player I met in the flesh as I spotted him in Preston...
Thanks Ken. Schwarzer was definitely the best Boro keeper in my time following the club. A big presence at the back at a time when we weren’t always...
@original-fat-bob Sure, OFB. I’ll put something together for the QPR game.
Sorry Jarkko, I thought that was one of the worst games I’ve ever seen. It’s rare that you see both teams playing hoof ball thank goodness but that’s ...
By the way, how have Barnsley gone from one of the most footballing teams under Struber to what we saw today in less than a season?
The problem with unattractive football is that it’s only acceptable if you’re getting good results. We’re not. That wasn’t unattractive football tho...
@selwynoz For my pennies’ worth, I think it’s gone wrong in the second half of the season as Warnock has tried to make us more of a goal threat over...
@jarkko You're probably right Jarkko and there’s likely a bit of being fed up with Britt that creeps into judgements. Akpom does run about a bit t...
