Is it a bit of a coincidence that Steve Parrish deliberately comes out to praise Carrick one day before sacking Vieira? Prepare for incoming aggressiv...
@exmil Thanks exmil. As your post comes immediately after mine, I’m not going to incorporate your views into my summary, unless you specifically as...
Summary of key points I’m going to use ‘he’ in the following points. I suspect we are all male, but I genuinely don’t know! If this offends you,...
@powmillnaemore Many thanks, Powmill. That’s really helpful.
That old football adage: If you can’t win, don’t get beat. We didn’t. Many a Boro side from the past would have caved in and conceded a late sickener....
As Len said, this has been an amazing discussion. I’m starting now to collate / summarise responses. That looks to be a challenging task, but one I’m ...
I posted my views on the Swansea thread, but picking up on Selwynoz’s point, I’ll start the ball rolling with some questions: 1) Do you want the blo...
Ah, the great Eddie. Famous for such gems as, ‘Oh, he’s going for an early bath! Well, at least he’ll get the clean towel!’ All delivered in those me...
@ken Hang on in there, my friend. Youve got to see Boro back in the Premiership and England winning the Ashes again yet before you can even think ...
Yessss! I saw a Tweet today that said he has scored more goals in 2023 than any other player in the four divisions. And, apparently, only Haaland in t...
Good news! Blackburn lost at Stoke last night! Less good news: - Stoke have now won two games on the trot against top 8 sides, including a 5-1 win ...
Thanks for a terrific opener, OFB! Here’s an interesting scenario. I think I’m correct in stating that Sheffield United have to play at home to Lut...
Deleriad I agree to an extent that Riley is less comfortable on the right, but what the highlights don’t perhaps show is how fluid the pair were. Th...
What I can’t get my head around (yet!) is how quickly MC has transformed this squad into a team that plays scintillating one-touch football. We were u...
Another brilliant opener, Andy, thank you. I don’t care how or by how many we win this one. All that matters is we get the 3 points. As you say, we ne...
Exmil Here are the votes for the North Wales jury. Royaume-Uni nul points. Oh sorry, got carried away there, wrong contest! Many thanks for all ...
And that’s the key point, Deleriad, isn’t it? Today’s defeat was disappointing, but we have to hope it was just a bump in the road. What matters now i...
I Hope you’re feeling better, Ken. All the best.
Dormo Dont forget the new Theatre of Dreams, aka The Riverside!!
Many thanks for another terrific opener, Andy. I agree that this should be a comfortable win. But this is the Championship, where usually any team can...
Heckofabottom! Genius, OFB!
I see the EG gave n/a scores for Crooks, Ramsey and Mowatt. In the latter’s case, fair enough - I don’t think he touched the ball. But Crooks made a t...
3-1 win! You beauty! Outstanding performance!
@lenmasterman A very good post, Len. I think you’re right about the Blades’ approach. Let’s hope Boro weather the storm and come out fighting. I’d ...
Great opener, OFB, thanks again! And many excellent posts to follow up, playmates. I think we’ll give the Blades a game tomorrow night. It is, afte...
Well, that was a relief. Boro were magnificent first half, playing some delightful stuff and really bossing the game, with the exception of Steffen’s ...
Again, many thanks for another terrific opener, Andy. I've got a ticket for Cardiff. Transport for Wales kindly ran a promotion recently which offe...
Dead chuffed with our transfer window business, me like! Though I’d have kept Duncan, who I thought was tremendous for us. As far as the loanees ar...
I’ve enjoyed reading all your comments, playmates, and fully agree that we were absolutely superb, apart from a couple of defensive lapses that almost...
@forever-dormo I really enjoyed your post where you compared us to Arsenal and Man Utd. I loved your fantasy drive with Lewis Hamilton in a Fiesta!...
