@powmillnaemore I’ve just read up on the HALO procedure. Ouch! I imagine you’ll be walking like John Wayne for a day or two? Really not pleasant...

Good luck with the op, OFB. We all wish you well and the speediest of returns to full health.

Oh, sorry, OFB. I meant to wish you well. Hope you’re feeling ok.

Thanks for an interesting opener, OFB. This is another game we simply must win. No ifs, no buts. Let’s hope we get some of the walking wounded back...

@martin-bellamy That banner was genius! The whole of the ground laughed uproariously, except the Geordie troglodytes, of course, who were most upse...

@martin-bellamy I switched off as soon as the final whistle blew, so I still have never seen a Geordie lift a cup……. In normal circumstances, I ...

OMG. Oh no. Geordies 2-0 up at Wembley. It was 1969 when they last won anything. Had to happen some time I suppose, but I can’t say I’m overjoyed.

Even listening to the game today was painful. It sounded like there was a really strong tide, a wave of non-stop attacks, coming in against us for alm...

That’s a superb opener, Len, written with your usual flair and panache, and which exemplifies your beautiful use of language. I suppose that’s only to...

@ Martin Bellamy Although I draw the line at the confusion over “fewer” and “less”! So do I, Martin. I’m so glad you want to see these two used pr...

That was much more encouraging, with good performances from most players in red. The 2 fill-in centre-backs played really well and Iling-Junior looked...

Jarkko, dormo, Martin Great stuff, prompting a linguistic debate! Dormo is quite right that, grammatically we should say, ‘Boro IS playing badly’ ...

@pedro Thanks for that. I missed the article on the Swansea thread.

@selwynoz I like that formation, Selwyn. I think the 3 at the back with wing-backs might be the best solution, and I agree that Conway, Azaz and Bu...

This assessment of Boro’s season and our many associated problems by The Northern Echo’s Scott Wilson is massively critical. It makes the Gazette’s da...

Well done for producing a very fine starter, Jarkko. As Martin says, your command of English is remarkable. Very impressive. I have no expectations...

I listened to the game on Tees. That’s 96 minutes I won’t get back. It would have been better to listen to paint dry. The radio team made the point...

Thanks for an entertaining, enjoyable and informative opener, FD. Swansea away is never an easy game. On paper we should win. But actually a point...

@forever-dormo I didn’t see it in quite the same light as you did. It wasn’t a great game, by any means, but it had its moments. We had 16 shots, c...

@exmil Give me half an hour. I’ll knock something up.

@exmil I’m really sorry. I haven’t been paying attention, so had no idea the challenge deadline was today. I’ve been a bit distracted. We’ve had a ...

It’s a(nother) big game tomorrow. A win is vital if we’re to keep the season alive. Come on Boro! Send us home happy. Keep the hope burning!

@martin-bellamy Oooops sorry, Martin!! I’d like to blame predictive text, but I can’t really, can I? There isn’t a word marupin in the English lang...

[ @marupin bellamy I’m up in Ardnamurchan, miles from anywhere with no tv or WiFi on 8th & 9th. Should I be worried? And I’ll be on a Danube ...

We won a game, we won a game! Walking wounded now have to follow this up against Derby!

@selwynoz Good video, thanks! Shows what we’re already missing from ELL. And that must have been Brad Guzan in goal for Atlantic!

That’s really good, Powmill! I only know a couple of Supertramp songs, so most of these are new to me, but you have inspired me to have a listen on Sp...
