And a big welcome from me, too, Peter, obviously!!
Talking cricket, thank goodness England managed to win today at Headingley. That was a very nervy run chase. Once again several of our batsmen did the...
Friends: re Ken I spoke to Ken on Thursday evening. He had been in hospital for 3 days, having had a nasty fall in his bathroom, which had left him...
On a completely different matter, I had the pleasure of listening on Test Match Special to the lunchtime Ashes interview today with Gareth Southgate. ...
@clive-hurren Have you seen the new Barnsley shirt yet? Sit down before opening the link .. Up the Boro! Good grief! I see what you mean, J...
@malcolm One of the ones we should never have let go!
‘Actually I like the new home shirt and will be pre ordering it shortly, like every season, as far as the white band is concerned, many of our home sh...
@exmil Thanks for the link. I have to say I hate the new shirt. Where has our unique white band gone? It’s a key part of our identity. Bring it...
@werdermouth Hear, hear. I wholeheartedly agree with every word you wrote.
I’ve just been enjoying all your posts after a busy family spell that has kept me out of action. I was very sorry to hear of your further troubles,...
I’ve just caught up on all the posts on this thread and those I’d missed on the last one. I must say that the quality of debate just gets better and b...
I’m just numb today. I’ve got the promotion blues hangover. I was so tense at the game last night and used up so much nervous energy, all to no avail....
Exmil I completely missed the final results of the regular season challenge, so preoccupied am I with the playoffs. I’ve just checked the final tab...
@malcolm I absolutely agree with your praise of this game’s opener. Many thanks and very well done, OFB! How lucky are we to have such dedicate...
Very sorry to hear about your fall, Ken. I hope it’s not limiting your movement much or giving you pain. I think it will be a close game on Wednesd...
@werdermouth I agree that McNair was MoM. I thought he had a superb game against Gyokeres. I wasn’t as impressed with Riley, but I did think the de...
This has been one of the best-argued threads for ages (from a very strong field!) You have all magnificently explained the pros and cons for the game ...
@martin ‘I see that Leeds have made an approach to Fat Sam. Same old, same old.’ Yes. I had to check it wasn’t 1st April when I read that this m...
werdermouth Am I correct in thinking you have a list of everyone’s email addresses? Last night, when Diasboro went down, I realised I had virtually...
Rotherham had a game plan today and stuck to it tremendously well. For the first half, it was get in their faces and don’t give them a second on the b...
Ken I’ve only just clicked on the blog tonight after a busy week. I was so sorry to read your first post. Like everyone else on here, I’ve really ap...
What’s really encouraging is that MC doesn’t buy into this Typical Boro stuff. OK, we’ve had a few avoidable slip-ups, such as at WBA and Huddersfield...
A fine opener, OFB, thank you ! I put the Luton game down as a loss for us in the Exmil challenge, purely because Luton don’t concede many and I do...
Some interesting results in the Champo tonight. Burnley failed to clinch the title by drawing at Rotherham, which suggests that our game at The New...
Great opener, Andy. Great news, John. I hope you continue to make such good progress. Great idea, Exmil! Boro to win tomorrow. It’ll be tight, espe...
