@werdermouth Two huge thankyous to you, and as many 👍👍👍as you wish! Firstly, the new format of the front page of the blog is simply stunning. Ha...

Dormo @powmillnaemore - OUTSTANDING! If I could give it three thumbs up, I would. So, for your starter and for Powmill, here they are, three each!...

Excellent, Dormo. I really enjoyed that. Thank you so much! As someone who regularly walks up mountains (though with increasing difficulty these day...

@pedro As my brother often says when I show him the league table or express my optimism/ pessimism, ‘You win nowt in October (January/March), mate!...

@powmillnaemore Many thanks for all your excellent work on this. It’s fascinating.

I’ve just caught up with the posts from the last few days and have really enjoyed reading everything, in particular two outstanding posts from Len and...

I think I’m cracking up. Since 2.30 pm, I’ve been smiling, laughing maniacally and doing virtual jigs around the living room, and I can’t seem to stop...

@werdermouth Team news. Eeeeek! 🫣🫣🫣🤞🤞🤞

The news about Lewis O’Brien is terrible. We probably hadn’t seen the best of him yet, despite a couple of good performances at left back. To lose him...

@martin-bellamy What a fabulous blog you’ve produced, Martin. I’m very impressed (and jealous!)

Thanks for a terrific, very enjoyable opener, Deleriad. Great work! I would be more than happy with a point on Saturday against the Deckchairs. It’...

Some very good posts, friends, and your analysis of the game generally has been spot-on. I particularly enjoyed Boro’s second half performance, Lat...

@deleriad That was an excellent post. I certainly hadn’t realised that 3 points from this game would leave us better off than at the same stage und...

I enjoyed the game. It was the first time I’d been to Valley Parade, which has 3 immense and impressive stands but also a couple of tinpot affairs tha...

@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 ...
