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.
@forever-dormo Well done, dormo! Your starter is clearly well up with your usual very high standard, despite your nearly missing the editor’s deadl...
@philip-of-huddersfield I hadn’t realised Rav might have been at fault for one Norwich goal, Philip, and according to the EG’s ratings today he was...
@philip-of-huddersfield Is Rav Van den Berg overrated? No, I don’t think so. I must say I haven’t seen what you’ve seen. He still seems very compet...
I absolutely agree with everyone that it was very disappointing to give away two points, when the win should have been in the bag. Boro played real...
Thank you, Powmill, for producing an excellent opener at short notice. I particularly appreciated your analysis of Norwich’s season to date. I’m de...
I think that was one of Carrick’s best wins as a manager. It was a very good team performance against strong opponents. Boro defended superbly. I thou...
@lenmasterman Excellent post, Len. I did hear about the Hackney incident and why he was sent back to Boro, but I’ve definitely not seen anything at...
@exmil Yippee! And wow! 5 yellow cards in 10 games (plus EFL Cup, perhaps) is some going. Cattermole-lite you might say!
Hope you get to the game on Wednesday, Exmil. At least you’re up and about again and mobile. Take it easy as your recovery continues. I’m glad you’r...
@andy-r That’s a brilliant post, Andy. I do agree that Wilder brought in an exciting brand of football which was a breath of fresh air, as you say....
@original-fat-bob Wonderful, Bob! Thanks!
@exmil Good for you! Let’s hope Boro provide you with some success-therapy.
A cracking starter, werder! I really enjoyed that! My only problem with it is that somehow I have to follow it up with the next one against Sheffield ...
Magnificent win! Hugely impressive. Lots of terrific passing interplay, and great calmness under pressure. Don Goodman on commentary called us ‘a very...
