That was a really poor defeat. We gave the ball away far too often, and were the masters of our own downfall. How many times did we make suicidal pass...

And get Borges off. He’s been beaten out of position against James at least 3 times, one of which led to the goal, and one which nearly did. Ayling on...

It would be very nice if we actually passed the ball to a red shirt occasionally.

Guys Just to let you know that I shall be posting the Millwall opener after their game with Sheffield United tomorrow night. It’s a game we’d probab...

Thanks for another brilliant, very funny starter, werder! I would be very happy not to lose tonight. Come on Boro - play our usual game and we can ...

Yes, I agree. It was a good point in a very hard-fought game. Defensively, we were excellent, the equaliser apart. Edmondson and Fry were terrific and...

@selwynoz That’s a quite brilliant starter! Loved it! We really are spoiled on here, aren’t we? I rather tend to agree with those who think we mi...

@k-p-in-spain Defensively, I agree. That was always Giles’ weakness. But he did show on two or 3 occasions that he is a superb crosser of the ball,...

Best left backs I’ve seen at Boro in the last 20 years or so? French Franck and the one spotty German. Can we get someone like those two in, please?

Btw, I meant to mention that I think Dijksteel could do a job in midfield while we await the return of Hackney and Morris. Neither Howson nor Barlaser...

Thanks for a superb opener, Powmill. It dissects the issues facing Boro (and Hull) for this game quite superbly, and also brilliantly epitomises the t...

@martin-bellamy Thanks for the opener, Martin. Your starters are always great, whatever the length ! (Ditto, everybody else’s, btw! ) One notab...

I’m happy to do the Derby game on 1 March if no-one else has bagged it?

I don’t know about you, mates, but I can't wait for Wednesday’s game!

Before the Oxford game I wrote, ‘I’ll go with the draw, and breathe a huge sigh of relief if we don’t lose.’ You can see why I’m not a betting man,...

@ofb That's a brilliant starter, OFB! Ingenious, intriguing and inspired! Lewis was a Boro fan? Who knew? As others have said, I think tomorrow’...

@werdermouth In reality, the great majority of people learn their own language by hearing it, using it, and repeating it, without ever understanding...

@original-fat-bob Yes please, OFB! If you possibly can.

What a tonic today’s game was - hope it cheered you up, those of you who are ill or suffering! Nine goals in two games, and not a scrappy one among...

I loved your thoughtful and really interesting starter, Len. As ever, you have found another way to present the argument and the analysis, both of whi...

@boroexile Can we beat Luton? Of course we can!! Should we beat Luton? Of course we should!! Will we beat Luton? Well, who knows, not sure, co...

@jarkko They’re now even less of a favourite club!

@jarkko I’m surprised the BBC leaves out the apostrophe. Who are the heathens allowing this to go out? This is a cardinal sin in my book. It’s the ...

Jarkko This is a staggering piece of work. It would be excellent even if your first language were English, but to be able to produce such a detailed...

Hackney now on four yellow cards after his dismissal. It appears he started the game with three rather than four. I’m sure I read a Tweet from the EG ...

@forever-dormo Me too! I think I might have given a hint about how I feel about Wilder on a previous thread……… !

@werdermouth Thanks werder. I had no idea that the two yellows would wipe out a previous one. That strikes me as really curious - surely it makes m...

Unlucky or not, Hackney really let himself and the team down yesterday. Having been booked once, he should have been more cautious instead of lunging ...

@k-p-in-spain Good luck with your recovery, kp.
