I wouldn’t sell Rogers right now unless Villa offer megabucks/ silly money. He’s blossomed into one of our key players of late and has started chippin...
I really enjoyed your opener, deleriad. It was very different and very funny. Thanks, too, to powmill for giving a slightly more balanced picture. Per...
Thank you for a superb report, Len.
@John Richardson ‘It'll even do in Black and white too.’ But not in stripes, though, mate!
And the bad news is that both Bangura and Latte Lath are out for some time, as I feared. Yet more reasons to hate Chelsea.
Oooops, sorry everyone. I offered to do the Chelsea game because I thought my next one was Sunland in February. But I’ve just re-checked my schedule a...
This is an interesting take on Chelsea (with some nice Boro detail thrown in.) it certainly gives me hope for the second leg.
I hadn’t realised until these reports came out that it was Sir Steve Gibson’s birthday yesterday. It’s good to know he shares his birth date with anot...
As Jarkko said, it was amazing to lose the game plan so soon but to battle through the adversity and get a great win! So we lose the pace of Latte Lat...
@forever-dormo Good 1066 referencing there, Dormo! And thank you all for your kind words. I am humbled. I don’t think Boro will be tomorrow.
@lenmasterman That’s brilliant, Len. It’s both beautifully written and very funny. I hope you got your tea!
This is MC interviewed (oh so briefly!) on Football Focus about the FA Cup. Nothing Boro-related, but his usual good sense and intelligence shine thro...
werdermouth ‘Glad to hear that any talk of Coburn going out on loan has been knocked on the head - never made sense in the first place given we're p...
@malcolm I’ve just seen that. When I made the joke about deleriad’s rumours a little earlier, I had no idea that Keith Lamb’s death would be announ...
In other transfer news, here’s a bolt from the blue! Good luck to him, I say!
@deleriad Interesting rumours, Deleriad! Where did you find them? The BBC site is unhelpful, as is SSN. Are they for real or did you find them on k...
@exmil I’m with you on that one. I want Boro to win every game, of course, and I know good cup wins build confidence, but this Villa game really do...
There’s a guy called Lawrence Shankland who is scoring goals for fun at Hearts. He must be worth a punt, Boro?!
I thought we were excellent first half. We played some very fine football and created a number of opportunities. This time we were not thwarted by poo...
An excellent starter, Andy, thank you. And as Len says, it’s very much of the high standard we’ve come to expect from you, especially your analysis of...
@selwynoz Many thanks for a really interesting and informative starter. I love the historical perspective that many of you come up with. That’s not...
A very merry Christmas to all bloggers. May it bring you all much joy and tons of lovely Boro points!
I love your brilliant starter, OFB! Given our horrendous catalogue of injuries, I can’t see us winning this one. I’d settle for a draw. Or perhaps ...
@original-fat-bob Hi OFB. As I’m down for the Mackems in early February, I’d rather not do the Chelsea away game. I’m happy to offer the home leg, ...
I had a different view of the game from some of you. I thought this was a really professional performance, with everybody playing well. I felt Barlase...
@original-fat-bob Is that true, OFB? I haven’t heard anything.
A lovely opener, Bob! Many thanks. I think tomorrow’s game will be a stiff challenge. Vale will definitely be up for it, especially Uche and Ripper...
Many thanks for a fabulous opener, Powmill, which was very well researched and very interesting. I’ve been learning Welsh for 3 years. Because it has ...
