I agree with fellow bloggers, deleriad - this was an inventive and clever way to approach the starter. I like the historical perspective. It works rea...
@original-fat-bob and others! Oh dear. I fear I may disappoint you all if you are hoping I’ll lift the mood!! Like Dormo, though for real, I’d pre-w...
Today’s second half was even more disjointed than against Plymouth, and all game we barely created anything. We hardly ever threatened the Stoke goal....
I was at Cardiff. When the final whistle went I turned to my brother and yelled (above the astounding, joyous din coming from Boro fans), ‘Europe! We’...
@martin-bellamy Indeed, Martin. My Burnley-supporting mate is in despair. He gave up hope of salvation 3 or 4 games ago. He says Kompany has been n...
KP and Martin Thanks for those addenda to my chant post. Your memories are stronger than mine. I thought we’d lost 3-2 that day at Derby, but I can’...
Brilliant, Martin, thanks. I really enjoyed your starter. You mentioned Arnold Bennett (1867 - 1931), who wrote prolifically. Many of his novels ar...
@martin-bellamy I’ll try, Martin, but I fear that if we had a home cup game this week against Slough of Despond we’d most likely lose 2-0…………. 😉😀
It was very noticeable yesterday how flat the crowd was, understandably as Boro gave us absolutely nothing to get excited about. There was a sort of q...
Utterly shambolic. That was the worst Boro performance I’ve seen for years. No passion, no fight, no tackles, no creativity, no cohesion, no leader...
@peter-surtees ‘How many of us eulogise about dead-rubber games or friendlies of the past?’ Yer jokin arn, yer, mate? I still eulogise about Boro...
Selwynoz I’d just like to add my belated thanks, and express my admiration, for a superb opener. Very different, very interesting, really thought-pr...
The euphoria after yesterday’s magnificent and wholly unexpected win is understandable. Great credit to MC and all the lads. Given that we had Fry, Th...
@peter-surtees We told them, Peter, didn’t we! We said Boro would definitely win at Leicester. Nobody believed us! 😉🤣🤣😉🤣😉🤣 I’m just going to cut ...
@peter-surtees I agree, Peter. Where does Carrick think our goals are going to come from? Silvera in place of Forss? WHY? WHY? WHY? And I don’t ...
@jarkko I hope you didn't mind, Jarkko. Your English is fantastic.
@jarkko May I correct one piece of your English, something I very rarely feel the need to do, as you write and speak brilliantly. I only wish I spo...
@philip-of-huddersfield I don’t agree that Carrick can’t develop players. I actually think that’s been one of his greatest strengths. Look at Akpom...
I’d like to say a big thank you to: Powmill - that was a fascinating opener. I used to live in Leicester, but I knew none of that! Werder - On t...
Many of us are now thinking the playoffs are beyond us this season. Apart from the obvious widening gap to 6th spot and our very inconsistent form - p...
@andy-r Oh no, not the Glover death-stare!
@andy-r That matches my view of the game. We played some lovely football and for a period put the PNE defence under sustained pressure that nearly ...
Wins last night for WBA, Norwich and Hull have made it extremely difficult for Boro to reach the playoffs, even if we win our game(s) in hand. With th...
Great opener, Martin, thank you. I lived in and around Chorley for many years and I used to work in County Hall in Preston, so I know the area well. D...
@eboroacum I agree with all that, especially that MC got his tactics wrong; Hackney has looked like a fish out of water in the number 10 role, but ...
@k-p-in-spain / OFB Nonetheless, OFB, I think that’s terrible news. Crooksy has always given 100% and has been more than useful on many an occasion...
I really enjoyed your opener, OFB. It sets us up very nicely for what is yet another must-win game for Boro.
Brilliant post, Andy! I agree with all of that.
@martin-bellamy Oooops! Wrong again, Clive, as Mrs H likes to say, all too frequently. I know PNE have been very inconsistent (ring any bells?) ...
