Amazing result! 4 wins in 5 away games! Can’t ever remember Boro winning so many away games in such a spell. (Any offers, Ken?) And but for a last min...
@ken Fingers crossed!
@powmillnaemore I’m equally conflicted, Powmill. I’ll probably watch England’s games - and some of Wales’, as I live in Wales now. But I am disgust...
@john-richardson Good luck with the radio therapy, John. Hope it makes a difference and allows you to lead your normal life.
By the way, OFB, I really enjoyed your opener. Great work, as ever!
I’ve been to Carrow Road twice. It’s a nice ground, with good fans and a non-threatening atmosphere. We lost them both. (Sorry Andy.) On the first...
@ken It was a brilliant England performance, the best I’d seen for years. And as Dormo says, without Bairstow. But also without Jason Roy, Topley, ...
@forever-dormo Ah, the good old days! We had an outside loo in Grove Hill. It was usually absolutely freezing.
@martin-bellamy I’m a member of the tofu-eating, Guardian-reading wokerati, too, Martin! Like you, I read the digital Guardian every day, though I ...
@jarkko By the way, Jarkko, I knocked on your door tonight, like Martin did. But no-one answered. And there I was looking forward to a place on you...
Wow. 3 wins in 4 away games. Nosebleed territory! I listened on Tees and saw Sky’s 10 second clips of the goals. This sounded a very dominant perfo...
I’ve just checked Sky’s website. They are not covering our game tonight on the red button. Why not? It looks like every other game is on. I think this...
@jarkko Thanks for the invitation to share your sofa, mate. I’ll be round your house about 7.30!!
@original-fat-bob So how do we watch via Boro Live, OFB? The message on there last night said Blackpool had opted against live video streaming. We ...
Oh, I’ve just seen Philip’s post. We should be able to get it on the red button, of course! DOH! Further edit:- Bogger. That’ll teach me to read al...
@martin-bellamy The message on Mfc.co.uk says Blackpool have opted not to stream the match live on video, so it’s only available on radio. It’s ann...
@jarkko I agree, Jarkko. I wasn’t at the game, so I’m not really qualified to comment, but I was just going to say what you’ve just said! 23 shots ...
Just to add my thanks to all those above, Bob. Yet again, a superb opening piece. It made me laugh, too! UTB.
Andy How do you (and OFB, of course) do it? You’ve had just 24 hours to produce another fine piece, and one which is remarkably upbeat given the ou...
@pedro I largely agree with your downbeat assessment, Pedro. I was there. It was a typically frustrating performance by Boro. Our passing was often...
@philip-of-huddersfield I agree, Philip. I’ve said many times before that the decision to send Josh out on loan when we were crying out for a dece...
Just to say that I am excited by the MC appointment, though I wasn’t at first, as I initially thought we needed someone like Corboran or Hannes Wolf, ...
Come on Boro! Let’s do it for Jarkko and Mrs Jarkko! 🤞for you tomorrow, Jarkko. Hope you enjoy the game ……. and the result!
Blimey Powmill, please can I have some of whatever it is you’re having?!! Personally, I think we should win, but not perhaps by a cricket score. I’ll ...
I really enjoyed last night. We’ll, to be honest, I really enjoyed it once we had equalised. Had we not done so, with Wigan suddenly on the front foot...
@original-fat-bob Many thanks for that insight into what preparation Carrick will have gone through, OFB. It’s really interesting and not anything ...
As ever, playmates, it’s been a fascinating and thought-provoking debate. I have to say the thought of employing yet another rookie manager and allowi...
I have to say I’m very nervous about Saturday’s game. As Ken says, our recent record against Rovers is not good, though a glimmer of hope is that thei...
@ken And you are definitely NOT a moaner, Ken! Bon courage, mon ami.
On another matter, has the world gone mad, or is it me? I’m hearing that Cattermole and Agnew is now the favoured managerial team to take over. I mean...
