@powmill-naemore ‘This is going down to the very last game of the season and there isn't too much to be gained from swinging pessimistically from bem...

@paulinboro That’s a very damning assessment from Scott Wilson, and not much to disagree with, sadly.

@philip-of-huddersfield I agree. I think we now need to win all 4 of our remaining games. And to be frank, we’d need to build up that kind of momen...

@martinbellamy I remember being puzzled that someone had Kent as their first name. I’m not sure I’ve come across another Kent since then either. I...

@selwynoz Thanks for a superb opener. It’s thoroughly researched and really interesting from start to finish. I loved the way you referred back to y...

@powmillnaemore That is quite brilliant! I’ve used all of those reasons to either like or not to hit like on particular posts. I hit like on GT‘s r...

Gt, Martin I think Steve Gibson will stick with MC rather than twist next season. I’ve rather got used to that idea in recent weeks as we’ve refresh...

Aaaaaarggghh! Both Bristol City and Coventry score last minute winners. How unfortunate is that? That leaves us in 7th, two points behind Coventry and...

I agree, Martin. I thought we played some brilliant football in the last half an hour and put Leeds under serious pressure for sustained periods. Putt...

Thanks for a really good and very encouraging starter, Powmill. You’re quite right - just a few weeks ago, most of us would have had this down as a gu...

I really enjoyed our first half last night. Boro were excellent and never gave Rovers a sniff. Second half was a lot nervier as BR applied lots more p...

Well done with the starter, Martin. You’ve nicely combined a little nostalgia and local colour with an apt description of the issues facing Rovers rig...

@andy-r I agree, Andy. I thought this was a better performance overall than many people are giving Boro credit for. We certainly started slowly and...

@OFB Sorry to hear you’re in hospital, Bob. I hope you’re soon fit and well again so you can get back to cheering on the Boro!

@powmillnaemore That clip is very funny! I’ve never seen the film. It looks one worth investigating.

@powmillnaemore I’ve just read up on the HALO procedure. Ouch! I imagine you’ll be walking like John Wayne for a day or two? Really not pleasant...

Good luck with the op, OFB. We all wish you well and the speediest of returns to full health.

Oh, sorry, OFB. I meant to wish you well. Hope you’re feeling ok.

Thanks for an interesting opener, OFB. This is another game we simply must win. No ifs, no buts. Let’s hope we get some of the walking wounded back...

@martin-bellamy That banner was genius! The whole of the ground laughed uproariously, except the Geordie troglodytes, of course, who were most upse...

@martin-bellamy I switched off as soon as the final whistle blew, so I still have never seen a Geordie lift a cup……. In normal circumstances, I ...

OMG. Oh no. Geordies 2-0 up at Wembley. It was 1969 when they last won anything. Had to happen some time I suppose, but I can’t say I’m overjoyed.

Even listening to the game today was painful. It sounded like there was a really strong tide, a wave of non-stop attacks, coming in against us for alm...

That’s a superb opener, Len, written with your usual flair and panache, and which exemplifies your beautiful use of language. I suppose that’s only to...

@ Martin Bellamy Although I draw the line at the confusion over “fewer” and “less”! So do I, Martin. I’m so glad you want to see these two used pr...

That was much more encouraging, with good performances from most players in red. The 2 fill-in centre-backs played really well and Iling-Junior looked...

Jarkko, dormo, Martin Great stuff, prompting a linguistic debate! Dormo is quite right that, grammatically we should say, ‘Boro IS playing badly’ ...

@pedro Thanks for that. I missed the article on the Swansea thread.

@selwynoz I like that formation, Selwyn. I think the 3 at the back with wing-backs might be the best solution, and I agree that Conway, Azaz and Bu...
