@exmil - Never be surprised by ANY decison made by FIFA. The organisation is locked in a long-term competition with UEFA and the International Olympi...
@lenmasterman - Hear, hear, Len!
@simonfallaha - Promotion with Boro would give Sarmiento a magnificent hat-trick to look back on when his career comes to a close. We haven't seen mu...
Well, gentlemen, that was EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. Three goals, three points and a return to form. I have read the comments posted after th...
I will read the various posts from the Birmingham game after a good sleep and maybe some breakfast. In the meantime: 1. We are back on track 2....
@simonfallaha - A great set of recent posts here, fellow Diaborians! Simon - carry on looking back if you want to, because the resulting posts almost...
Sunny intervals this morning in North Yorkshire. Let's hope the sun shines on Boro this evening. I will take my seat at the Battered Badger to watch ...
@werdermouth - I agree, Werder, Boro must go for the three points at Birmingham. And without wishing to repeat an old tune, we should not worry about ...
@selwynoz - I have just read your Match Preview on this thread and will go back shortly to read the responses. Firstly, however, thank you for the pie...
@philip-of-huddersfield - Similar story to Boro's. Sheffield United had a number of chances but only put one away The game could easily have been "s...
@martin-bellamy - I feel very disappointed about the results in the last two games. Having said which I agree with you, Martin. If I had been offered ...
@powmillnaemore - Whilst accepting we can't rely on there being any easy games in The Championship, and whilst accepting both that Oxford has a good ...
@mw-in-darwin - Thanks for that. A transparent and honest Head Coach - "Who'd a thunk it?"
@pedro - Have I missed something: comments made about Hansen by the manager? What has been said? I feel deflated after that game. Two points out of ...
I have finally managed to uncross my legs after having read your very arresting Match Preview yesterday, Werder! I'm not an anti-vaxxer (as I think s...
I have AGAIN lost a post typed directly into the "reply box" rather than saved as a Word document or similar, and then cut and paste into the blog. ...
Any win, even 1-0, will do, MW. But a nice early goal and then the opening of the floodgates to help out the goal difference would be MUCH more comf...
@werdermouth - In an ideal world Boro would score early, then put another in as Oxford strive to get back on terms, after which the confidence which s...
You should have had no worries, Powmill, as your Match Preview certainly did pass muster. Not having looked at Oxford's form, I was surprised to read...
Some of Boro's players made mistakes on Monday night whilst some others didn't show the imperious form that had carried the team through six successiv...
@martin-bellamy - We will have to see which channel is showing at the Busted Beaver. See you later as I'm setting off now....
@powmillnaemore - Sad to hear that, Powmill, because retirement has allowed me, this afternoon, to watch an 82 minutes long (!!) YouTube video dissect...
@martin-bellamy - Thanks for that, Martin. Private Eye always seemed like a student magazine that had somehow lasted beyond its student years. Much...
An excuse can be made for any result tonight. The variations are limited only by the extent of one's imagination, but most of them are still "good" ...
@stircrazy - Funny you should mention David Coleman's Olympic Games commentaries. In the 1968 Games held in Mexico, in the Men's 400m hurdles Final, w...
One more sleep before The Big Game. Well, the biggest since last Monday and, no doubt, the biggest until we greet Oxford United for next Saturday's ma...
@powmillnaemore - Wolstenholme + John Motson have been caught up in traffic but will arrive for the second half. (By which I mean before John Arlott a...
@stircrazy - Walker and Peter O'S are racing each other to the bar as I type... Peter is in front by a short head.
