@malcolm Thanks for a link - an interesting listen. Far from spitting his dummy out though, it sounds like he was quite poorly treated to be hones...

Same to you, Martin and to all other bloggers. Merry Christmas 🎅

Plenty of Christmas cheer being shared by Birmingham keeper Etheridge. What an absolute shocker he’s had.

A big afternoon for Wing. I hope he takes it by storm.

All the best to your better half, RR. Hope she is rested and recovered in time for a relaxing Christmas. Well there shouldn’t be many goals on displ...

As posted on the previous thread, Boro are becoming a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde side in terms of home and away form. The good news is that we face Luto...

Whilst on the subject, for anyone who doesn’t mind a bit of bad language and lewd content I can highly - HIGHLY - recommend The Socially Distant Sport...

I haven’t yet listened to it myself but just pointing people in the direction of The Greatest Game with Jamie Carragher podcast, episode 22 which was ...

Thanks RR. Great report as ever. Who saw that coming? Not me, but maybe we should have.... Millwall in terrible form and a clear trend with Boro f...

For my two penneth on the issue, I’m very much in favour of a powerful demonstration against all forms of racism. I appreciate that there may be ele...

Thanks Werder, terrific opener. Re GHW's "square-pegging" point above, McNair and Tav are interesting ones in that debate. Before blossoming this se...

Time has beaten me again this week. Just wanted to say a quick thanks to Werder, all the best to OFB, and (only partially in solidarity with OFB) pr...

Thanks RR - another spot on report and appreciate the effort you put into them game after game. Fairly typical of Boro to have put in such a below p...

Been up against it with work this week and only just remembered that we’re playing tonight! Just a quick note to say thanks to Werder (“cocupball” 🤣...

Thanks Werder - superb opener full of wit as always. Norwich look the best side in the league at present but, let’s face it, we’re bloody awful to p...

Warnock has been nominated for the Championship Manager of the Month award and accrued more points in October than any of other nominees. No Boro pl...

Thanks RR. My suspicion on Patrick Roberts is that Warnock sees him as a defensive liability. That fact that he considers Coulson and Spence to be w...

Well that’s an excellent point for me and I was very impressed with how we contained one of the most dangerous attacks in the league, making them look...

@k-p-in-spain My thoughts exactly, KP. We’ve been so solid this season but Morsy and Saville have been a huge part of that and without them, today c...

@grovehillwallah I guess there would have been some spare bricks from that wall with Mexico, right?

Excellent opener, Werder. Very topical and had me smiling as I read. Boro have shown progression on the left and the right in recent weeks whilst re...

@k-p-in-spain Correct! Though as we see in Martin’s link, even an absolute specialist will score from little more than 1 in 10. Am I right in reca...

I did a quick google on percentage of direct free kicks that result in a goal. Far from conclusive and varying data sets, but the answer I concluded w...

Thanks RR - a detailed and very fair report of the sort we’ve become used to but do not take for granted. Britt’s record overall isn’t terrible - ab...

Looks like 4-3-3 again. I used to really dislike us in that setup but not so this season under Warnock.

@lenmasterman What a great post, Len. Fantastic.

Thanks Werder. My impression of Mowbray is that, for the many positives of his playing style and recruitment, he really struggles to turn around lo...

Gettin! Wasn’t expecting the win but it was deserved and delighted to be proved wrong. 8 unbeaten and up to 5th. Remarkable and what a fantastic job...
