Many good posts, accurately expressing our disappointment (and Wilder’s) at last night’s result and performance. From my own perspective, it was very ...

Yes, exciting times. We’ve brought in some good young players, some obviously with an eye to the long-term, such as the young Kingstonian full-back (h...

Hi all I’ve been away from the blog for a week or two. Nothing personal, just a bit busy. I’ve just had a chat with Ken and he mentioned the proposa...

After that win, I’m lost for words - but for once it’s for the right reasons! Wow. Just wow!

Ken You wondered if Blackpool has changed over the years. Sadly, it has deteriorated terribly. It is now one of the most deprived communities in the...

Not really, Martin. My comment was based on a number of recent news reports which appeared to suggest a fairly slow spread of Omicron. However, the Gu...

Just a thought or two on the Covid debate. My wife has vulnerability with her compromised immune system. Since we returned to games in August she has ...

Excellent post, Dormo.

I’d like to echo everything that has been said above. Today’s was the best Boro performance for many a year. How brilliant it is to see us playing so ...

Thanks Ken. It reminds me of the old story:- A Newcastle fan told his wife he was still going to the game, even though she was due to give birth an...

I watched today’s game at home. My wife is vulnerable and asked me not to go this time, given her understandable anxiety about the Covid situation cur...

Martin You were better off in the warm and the dry in the pub! You missed nowt!

Experienced England watchers knew very well what would happen. We’ve all seen it so often before. England look as if they’ve played themselves back in...

A frustrating game! Not one for the highlights reel. The second half in particular was one long bore-fest. I agree that this was a well-earned point a...

Just been catching up on all your posts. Some great stuff. I’m going to Stoke tomorrow. My first away game for yonks - thanks Covid. I must be...

Good grief, Ken. Just caught up on your firework experience. Really sorry to hear of this awful incident, and I hope you’re ok. I don’t know anybody w...

Great piece, OFB. Thank you. Whilst I think Wilder will definitely hammer home some key messages to the lads for Saturday’s game, which MUST re...

Ken Nostalgia certainly ain’t what it used to be………

Great posts one and all, absolutely nailing the issues CW has to contend with. I think one of the most pressing he has to sort is our lack of mental s...

Forever Dormo i was at a Boro pre-season friendly at Preston many moons ago (!!) where Windass bared his bum to the Boro fans during the warm-up. I...

@forever-dormo Thanks for the definition. I’ve never heard that before. Is it a Scots expression?

Forever Dormo Moony intervals? Does that mean we’re likely to see the return of Dean Windass?

I agree with many comments above. I thought it was an enjoyable game. What no-one has mentioned - and I’ve not seen it in any media report - was the f...

RR and KP Very good points, well made!

Thanks for that piece of news regarding Steve Gibson and DCFC, OFB. I didn’t know Boro had filed a claim. Strikes me as a bit over-optimistic, and...

Selwynoz I’m neither a local waverer nor a foreign foam-hand, but I do live in North Wales now, so that makes me sort of foreign. It’s a hell of a j...

Many great posts, everybody! I was shocked when NW was dismissed, as I’d convinced myself it wasn’t going to happen any time soon. I’m also dis...

Great opener, Andy. Thank you. i can’t see us creating much against the Baggies. How ironic that in recent seasons Boro won twice there with 2 ...

I was expecting just 1 point from Luton and WBA, so at half-time I was thinking that 3 points at Luton, if achieved, would be a real bonus. It looked ...

Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh! Two steps forward, one back. I had to miss this game. Sounds as if I missed very little. Of course, after a run o...
