Impressed, even. 🫣
Martin Sorry! That sounded sarcastic! It wasnt meant to be. I’m genuinely imoressed!
Martin 1000 posts! Wow. 🎂🎂🎂 I’m going to pour myself a large glass of Bordeaux to celebrate! Or maybe two, just to be sure. 🍷🍷
@malcolm Yes, I agree. I think he’s probably a good coach - I say probably because our defence has been our biggest weakness for some time - and he...
Thank you all for your kind comments re my starter(s). Much appreciated. This has seemed a very long week. But matchday is at last almost upon us. ...
@original-fat-bob Sorry to hear about the aches and pains. Hope you and Mrs OFB are soon feeling much better and that you get to the game on Sunday...
Ha, fooled you! I do have a few other titbits for you to ponder: Now what might you think are the hottest, most tempestuous derby matches in world ...
@peter-surtees I agree entirely, Peter. There have been relatively few occasions this season when Boro have opted for a long ball rather than playi...
I make that 4 goals we’ve literally given them via unforgivable defensive errors.
@ofb and powmill Wear your lucky underpants? Why? Boro aren’t on skid row yet! On the inside not the outside! 😂😂😂
Now, do you think I should wear my lucky underpants?
That’s a brilliant opener, werder! Simply magnificent. Like most of you, my heart says we get to Wembley, but my head says we’ll go out. However, I...
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!
