I realise the readers of this Blog will also be regular readers of (1) the primary legislation (statutes) relating to motor vehicles and (2) delegated...

Thanks for that, OFB. If only we could have a Brian Clough in the dugout. Maybe we have a young Swedish version making his debut for the Derby matc...

I had written a comment on here, but was interrupted by the arrival of the plumber. I went back and then completed my post, but on pressing "send" it...

Thanks @selwyoz for that very informative starter which I read yesterday together with the first batch of responses. I am especially grateful for the ...

@lenmasterman - Eighty six! A decent knock so far, but with scope to stroke quite a few cultured boundaries and play several high quality innings over...

@original-fat-bob - I hope you are allowed a glass of a nice red wine, or maybe a Single Malt as you watch the game, OFB.

@werdermouth - Very good points there, Werder.

If the other teams look poor yet Boro frequently fails to beat those other teams, what does that say about Boro? I mean, a team can be unlucky every ...

@werdermouth - I wonder how far Boro (or indeed any EFL teams) would go to "get their man". If he wants to bring in 4 backroom staff, and some from O...

I hope today's football will be more satisfying than the cricket. I REALLY hope so.

@gt - All supporters love to see ex-academy members playing and becoming regulars in the first team. But I suppose for those who think they ARE good e...

@jarkko - I agree. Let's not take any chances with Fry. He will be needed against Coventry and later. I'd rather he wasn't put at risk when he's not ...

@jarkko - I didn't get the impression from Adi V that Fry would be ready in time for Oxford (especially bearing in mind he played against Birmingham w...

@jarkko - So Lenihan should be available for selection very soon? (Sidelined for a number of weeks in late September - we are now in late November so ...

There must be a Werder for Match Previews of this quality but I can't think of it for the moment. A smorgasbord of humour and information, perhaps. We...

@jarkko - Riley McGree has been one of our most talented and potentially useful players for a few seasons now. Unfortunately he is injured so frequent...

A rare friendly discussion between a Critic and a Performer of musical theatre! And in a football blog. Is it permitted to say I quite liked Romeo &...

@powmillnaemore ...or the time!

Maybe AV got out at the right time!

Human beings are all very fallible. We can be relied on to demonstrate this throughout our lives. But when AI or computers generally are allowed their...

... because it might be the case that Boro has more than one iron in the fire.

Dizzying developments on the Head Coaching Team Front. A total "out of the blue" development but we will all have to wait and see what happens.

@lenmasterman : I think, Len, the expression "did well in the interview" may carry similar weight to "he's been performing well in training".

Yes, the common theme seems to be potential managers who have not done a lot of managing recently. And I did think of Sunderland's manager when I rea...

@simonfallaha - Your post at 10.45pm yesterday ... you don't see stuff like this on many other football blogs, do you? This gives you exemption from...

@powmillnaemore - A job on TeessideLive awaits.... (Meanwhile for me after a day largely spent in front of the TV watching Rugby - and a quick fix...

Could you imagine a scenario in which Messrs Gibson and Scott sit in front of a computer/laptop/tablet/mobile phone and ask whichever IT brain is embe...

@jarkko - The Northern Echo could at least give this Blog a shout-out! "And for Boro fans all over the world, if you want to read the comments/sugge...
