I agree with Andy. I thought Gyokeres was great last season, at least when we played Coventry! He was actually number one on my hit list. To get him...

Hi everyone. I’ve just read through the whole of this thread, having been away from the blog for a few weeks. No offence - it’s just that, like Ken, I...

Boro have been linked with ……. For a number of weeks, the Gazette has been giving us lists of possible players Boro could sign this summer. The...

Excellent Ken, thank you! (I’m also impressed with my own memory! )

Thanks OFB. As it happens, a friend had helped me work it out.

Great post, Ken. Thank you. I remember some great ‘battles’ against Darlo in our 1966 3rd division season (I think it was). We played them on s...

Hi Werder I’d like to start a new topic, but I can’t see how to do it. Can you help? Clive

You never sound vacant, Ken! Not with your phenomenal memory!

Good to chat tonight, Ken. Many thanks for your really interesting articles on the lower and European leagues - that was a great deal of hard work for...

It was. And so was the manager! Is that Big John hiding behind Big Jack? I guess it must be, and there’s just a hint of that stylish hairstyle…...

Someone earlier asked who we might fancy signing as a striker. I agree that Viktor Gyokeres at Coventry would be high on my list. And while I understa...

Ken. Sorry you were ill. I’m very glad you felt fit enough today to complete your very interesting post. Many thanks - and stay well. I have a...

I saw MK play at Bolton very early on in the season. I think Twine played in that one. They’re a fluid and attractive side to watch. He’s obviously ha...

Well, I’m just trying to calm down, having returned home from a very dispiriting afternoon at Preston. I know it didn’t matter in the end, given resul...

Thanks to everybody for a great series of comments, and especial thanks - yet again - to Andy for a brilliant opener. To all those of you who have pro...

And thanks to you, too, Len. I’m not sure how you know those things about me, except that you and I both had obvious Acklam Hall connections. Perhaps ...

Fulham’s destruction of Luton tonight has opened up a real chance for Boro. Suddenly, our goal difference is 5 better than the Hatters’ ! As Ken said,...

That’s a very fine post, Len, and one in which I wholeheartedly endorse every word and every sentiment.

Good luck with all the medical issues, Ken. Your cheeriness in the face of such overwhelming odds never ceases to amaze me. Chat soon.

Thanks for the info, KP. That’s a relief. Given how much the FA hates us, I wouldn’t have been surprised for the system to be the side nearer London g...

The relief of a win! Terribly scrappy game, but we deserved the 3 points. Boro fought and competed hard, giving little away. Where was the urge...

Btw, did you all notice the second-half spat between Tav and Bola yesterday? Tav raced back to tackle in the left back position, and then absolutely b...

Absolutely, boroexile, starting with the strikers. Only Watmore and Coburn are worth keeping, in my view. We need a serious (and expensive) upgrade at...

Maybe, but the malaise started well before today’s debacle. I doubt this Burnley link had anything to do with the Fulham and Hull defeats.

I‘ll settle for a point, but that would mean we’d then need to beat Huddersfield on Monday. Everything crossed.

That can’t be our Aaron Connelly, OFB. The Sun calls him a ‘Premier League ace’ and says he is ‘regarded as one of the Premier League’s brightest tal...

What a shambles. Where to start? Let’s start with the keeper. Another serious error, punished this time, and two points lost as a result. I’ve ...

Excellent opener, Andy. Thank you. As has been said, any win against Hull will do. An early Boro goal would settle any nerves. And another clea...

I thought Boro played very well for much of the game. We were generally very sound defensively and restricted the runaway league leaders to very few c...
