Boro ran out 5-1 winners against Newcastle this afternoon. Lewis Wing sent off for Boro.
@ken Alan Moore, Chris Morris and Keith O’Neill spring to mind from the 1990’s. I always enjoyed watching O’Neill in particular for his all-action, ...
It’s a good tip for those viewing via Apple devices. The option is at the top left beside the web address, expressed as AA
Spare a thought for Dom Shaw. He’s rocketed from being banned by the club to perhaps the Gazette’s most senior football writer in about eighteen month...
@lenmasterman What an absolutely brilliant post. I hope someone has Vic’s email address and can forward it to him.
6’3” German centre back Toni Leistner released from QPR. Played 45 times for them in the season before last but fell out of favour last season. 3...
@werdermouth You‘ve done a terrific job in picking up the baton, Werder. As great as UntypicalBoro was - and it really was - I think with the added fo...
AV leaving the Gazette is a real, real shame. A fantastic journalist and founding father of Untypical Boro which of course spawned Diasboro. He deserv...
@plato I'm not sure that that's really the case these days, Plato. Vardy is more an exception than a rule. How many more players from non-league are c...
Quite amazing that two supposed independent valuations for a football ground can be £58m apart, with one valuing it at almost four times the amount of...
@exmil He looks happy enough.
@ken I wasn't aware of Alec Bedser so thanks for that. Interestingly, if you take away the early part of Jimmy's career, their Test bowling averages...
@ken Yes many congratulations to Jimmy Anderson. A historic feat owing to years of dedication. Potentially controversial question: where does Jimm...
I see that Messi is pushing hard to leave Barcelona and believes he can go for free. Great news for us as we could do with another option at right b...
@jarkko Burgers, sausages, bananas with clotted cream... No mention of a beer though. You can’t have a barbecue without a beer surely? All those pla...
Whilst I'm sure there are still talented youngsters in non-league and lower league football, I think the game has changed a lot with large-scale acade...
@original-fat-bob That makes more sense to me.
@grovehillwallah Looking at the various rumours, all of Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs are looking for centre-halves but the names are ...
@original-fat-bob Thanks for info, Bob. Priceless inside info as always. That said, I’d be very surprised if he made that level of step up. A Premie...
@redcarred I think I’m right in saying that Spanish clubs don’t have to go through work permit regulations for players from South America. Could be ju...
The Junior Hoilett link seems to have gone quiet. Have I missed something?
@redcarred Agree with that, RR. The XI I would select are different to GHW’s but either way there’s a half decent Championship side there. As you say ...
@exmil That FA Cup Final on 15th May could be tricky.
@plato Fair point. There’s rarely many points between the middle 10 or so clubs in the Championship and it doesn’t take much to be 4 or 5 places up or...
@k-p-in-spain I agree that the defence is particularly weak with only two experienced centre-halves, one of which isn't that experienced and the other...
@k-p-in-spain I think that's right on the problem we have, but only if we're trying to put together a squad capable of challenging at the top end. A...
I imagine that the recruitment team (i.e. Gary Gill, his team of scouts etc) are responsible for drawing up shortlists based on what the manager wants...
It is indeed the end of an era - unless I’ve forgotten someone, George was the last of Mowbray’s bargain signings still at the club. I know, I know,...
Maybe look at it this way: Stojanovic Djiksteel Fry Hall Coulson Spence Wing Howson Browne Tavernier Fletcher Sub in Saville, McNair, Asso...
@jarkko Youth team manager at Villa apparently:
