Merry Christmas, Diasborians. As it is every year, it’s been an absolute pleasure to have been among you.
Great work, Martin!
@peter-surtees Great post, Peter.
I’m not so sure about that, Phillip. We hit the post when it should have been buried, created numerous other chances in the first half where we eith...
The second half was a disappointment but in truth we should have been home and dry at half time.
Well Boro should probably be about 3-0 up here. Bristol City surely can’t believe their luck that we’ve hit the post, not made anything of the two or ...
Thanks to everyone for the very kind comments. It’s a joy to write for Diasboro. Trips to Ashton Gate rarely end well for Boro it seems and as other...
😆😆 I did warn that I didn’t have time to post properly!
Many thanks FD, another excellent preview to add to the list this season and many before. We are blessed on Diasboro. No time to post properly but j...
Happy Independence Day, Jarkko.

No meaningful contact. Exactly the sort of pen Conway is denied on a weekly basis.
The second bit.
Basketball game. Boro strike first.
@werdermouth Morris and Browne not in the squad? I assume Hackney is being asked to play a more defensive role. VERY attacking team. If it works it ...
I missed the game again today on Dad duty supporting my daughters’ fledgling netball career (a tough afternoon but she did great). Delighted to see ...
Many thanks Bob for another cracking opener. Hoping we’ll have another new manager bounce today with some swashbuckling Boro attacking play overcomi...
Until this season, Conway has looked to be a pretty reliable finisher in my opinion. He hasn't this. I suspect that is down to anxiety due to the fa...
No Fry, Targett on the bench. Maybe it is Silvera playing as an advanced left back Carrick-style. Unfortunately I won’t be home until 21:30ish so I’...
I'm encouraged by the home performances against Ipswich and Birmingham - sides who came to attack us and left us space to exploit ourselves. It suited...
Thank you, Selwyn, for a fantastic opener, full of insight and interest. Tactically, I think a lot will depend on who is fit. If Fry is, then you'd ...
Great work on this Powmill. A bit like watching England in the Ashes this morning, against all logic I believe I’m still in it!
If Hellberg is to be our new manager then, despite Steve Gibson often turning to rookies, it will be the first appointment of his for which I have zer...
@werdermouth Good shout, Werder. We don’t want another Charming Man.
The three Boro managers with the highest win % are all out of work at present. 1. Aitor Karanka - 47.06% 2. Michael Carrick - 46.88% 3. Garry Mo...
@rich-llewelyn-evans I think that's another interesting point you make at the start of your post. I suspect those that are most angry with the situa...
I’m with GT on this. I don’t bear any particular grudge against Edwards. Offered a higher profile Premier League job, close to his young family, at ...
Ooof. Now that I could get excited about.
