Thanks so much for this outstanding opener, Selwyn. I knew the history of the club, but had no real idea of what was happening around the time we were...
@peter-surtees Thanks for the technical tip, Peter. Ingenious and very helpful…….. or perhaps not? Why didn’t they teach us that at Acklam? I’m gla...
Please forgive me if I change topic briefly, but there are some seismic developments happening in football right now. Firstly, Eckert has had his E...
Many thanks to Andy for an excellent and most unexpected opener to this thread. I really can’t fault your analysis or your scores, Andy! I think you’v...
Lankshear scored England U21’s fourth goal on his international debut and was given the highest score on the BBC’s player-rating system, despite only ...
If the season continues in this vein I can’t see us finishing top two. We are far too vulnerable to costly defensive errors. You could argue that most...
Many thanks, Chris. It’s a lovely opener which brings in a bit of real history, a bit of tongue-in-cheek history ( I loved the Peaky Blinders!) and a ...
@stircrazy It wasn’t Hackney’s debut, unless you mean as a starter. As a sub he played a leading role in Everton’s 2-2 draw with MUFC, providing th...
@peter-surtees Good post, Peter. I was going to post that I have serious concerns at our ability to defend, at least so far, but I think you’ve ...
It’s a great starter, Si, and although we’re all used by now to the quality of your writing, it’s still hard to believe that this is your preview debu...
That was a very poor goal to concede.
Boro playing some lovely one-touch football and dominating possession impressively, but effectively we’re up against a low-block with Palace loading t...
I really enjoyed that, Len. Thank you. Whatever role AI played, it is terrifically inventive and a great read. I can’t see us winning at Palace, bu...
@martin-bellamy Wow! What a trip! I hope you enjoy it. Flam is fantastic. I hope you get a ride on the wonderful Flam railway, which drops down ...
@k-p-in-spain It was not only an uncomfortable watch! On the radio the second half was excruciatingly tense! It sounded as though we lost all contr...
@werdermouth Thanks for the Dom Shaw quote. MFC website has now confirmed the deal is done. It’s a rather restrained piece which doesn’t say much a...
Has anybody seen any news on the Whittaker transfer? I’ve seen nothing and there’s no news of it on the Colorado Rapids website.
Inspiration indeed! It’s really inspiring! Loved it!
Absolutely fantastic, Martin. I’m guessing it’s a tribute either to Dashiell Hammett’s ‘Maltese Falcon’ or to Raymond Chandler’s ‘The Big Sleep?’ Or i...
I have to say that if Boro keep on defending as we did today then we will really struggle to get automatic promotion, and maybe even the playoffs. Bla...
For all our domination of possession, we are very lucky to be ahead. Rovers have caught us on the break several times and have missed 5 clear-cut chan...
@pedro Not sure about the prices. I only paid £32 for my ticket, but that’s because I’m a very old codger!
Thanks for your superb starter, Jarkko. It’s a really good read! Mogga will have seen how Lincoln pressed us last week and how successful this was. So...
Welcome back, OFB. Great to hear from you. Hope you’re feeling much better and getting stronger all the time. Having you back on here is like getti...
@pedro Thanks for those Press Association judgements on the Championship clubs. Here’s an earlier BBC version, which seems to include some of th...
@stircrazy Ooops, missed Vitek off. Sorry. He scored 6.
@Stircrazy I’ve discovered that several articles (but not all) blocked on the EG by the paywall are provided for free on the Teesside Live free app...
Our second half performance was excellent. It was such a relief to get the win late on when it looked for all the world that we’d have to settle for w...
Really, really poor first half from Boro. Bullied out of it by Lincoln for 20 minutes. No pace, precious little creativity. Far too many sloppy passes...
