@werdermouth That’s a great post, werder!

@k-p-in-spain and werder I’m not so sure about all of those being seen as definite starters. Silvera looked good on YouTube, for example, but was o...

@werdermouth Excellent post!

@original-fat-bob Am I doing Watford? I thought I was doing Cardiff! Help!

Again, lads (and lasses?), it’s a fine debate. I agree to an extent with Len that Scott's recruitment this season has been poor, but last season he (o...

Well, when I said it would take a battling, backs-to-the-wall performance to get us an unexpected win, I never for one moment thought that that would ...

Many thanks for a really interesting opener, Selwynoz. A very interesting debate, lads. One player who wasn’t mentioned by anybody was Howson. Do w...

Dormo and OFB Thank you for paying homage to me. Only right, I suppose. I must make it clear, however, that my lineage only becomes royal ultimatel...

Well, we were better second half, though that’s not saying much. There was more energy, more threat on goal and some decent combination stuff from Jon...

We can’t pass the ball to a teammate, we can’t defend, we can’t create chances. We have continually given the ball away. There’s a real lack of qualit...

I’m so sorry to hear this sad news, Philip. This morning I did send Ken a card from all of us. Tragically, this was too late. I never met him but I...

@original-fat-bob Yes, of course, OFB. I’ll send a card on behalf of us all. No need to contribute.

@philip-of-huddersfield Many thanks for the update on Ken, Philip. I last rang him several weeks ago when he found it very difficult to hear me, ha...

Thanks for a great scene-setter, Powmill. Like you, I predicted a top 6 finish for Boro. That is currently looking no more than a pipe-dream. Like ...

I’ve just read MC’s explanation for having O’Brien on the left side: ‘We see him as an attacking midfielder.’ I mean, yer jokin’ arn yer? Isn’t he ...

We were warned, weren’t we? Everything the EG wrote about Blackburn in the run up to the game said they are a high energy side that creates a lot of c...

@original-fat-bob Pretty impressive stats from HH! Thanks OFB. As you say, the scouts will soon be out in force.

John - so glad the NHS did their work so well on you, enabling you to continue enjoying Boro (albeit from behind your sofa) and contributing so well o...

@exmil Looking at that list of likely top earners, I can’t believe the likes of Chalobah, Amorebieta and (checking my blood pressure before writing...

@martin-bellamy In those days, I seem to recall, a try was only worth 3 points, so yes, there were plenty of tries! If only my team had tried!

@dormo and martin I met someone once whose aunty’s third cousin’s husband knew a bloke’s son who actually understood the rules of rugby union. Th...

@forever-dormo Your point about other teams scoring first is very apt, Dormo. By my reckoning, we haven’t scored first in any of our 9 most recent ...

I hope this doesn’t prove to be a short-sighted move from the club.

Who knows, we may start (Diasborians) to look forward to the next league game at Blackburn on the 16 September! I’ll have to be at my best to get ev...

A very interesting statistic from Borostats. Most goals prevented in a single match: 1st Asmir Begivic - 9 (1.85) 2nd Lee Nicholls (Huddersfiel...

Thanks Pedro. I hope that was the reason for the booing.

I’m struggling to find any positives at all from yesterday’s defeat. You could say that we created a number of one-on-ones, but of course we missed th...

Thank you for a terrific opener, werder. I’ve no idea which team MC will play, but it will be good to have more options. Presumably, we won’t be fi...

Great win. Shows what I know!! All 3 goals ( as seen on Sky Sports) were terrific, and we seemed to be playing some lovely football. Let’s hope this i...
