I support OFB. Not sure about his raw speed, how quickly he can turn these days and I'm not sure how much stamina he still possesses, but his commitm...
Good Luck, OFB. Some things are more important than football. I'm sure that everyone on this Blog, and those who might look in even if they do not po...
@pedro - So of your first 5 names, two are a "yes, they can make it", two are a "possibly" and one "could grow into it". Of the second five "squad pl...
@Jarkko - and any others who might be interested. Three days ago I see that Wendall (@WendallExplores) posted a video on YouTube. It is titled "Midd...
@selwynoz - In order to do a Bournemouth or a Fulham, Boro would first have to achieve promotion. Obviously I enjoy watching the passing game that B...
@clive-hurren - Oh my goodness! Surely not another couple of "Must Win" games...?
@gt - "Good Afternoon, grapple fans". And so began, most Saturday afternoons on ITV, as a late segment to "World of Sport", a series of well choreog...
Travers for Walton...?
@Selwynoz - Well, that was an epic of a starter piece and very good to read. It must have taken you AGES. Thanks for that. I really enjoyed it. I'...
@powmillnaemore - "All of the above" applies to me, too.
@jarkko - Just out of interest, on which date do you intend to fly back to Finland? Wife is currently out but I'm trying to work out which would be th...
@Selwynoz - that was quick off the mark! I will have to come back later today to read your starter which looks full of information. But the reason f...
It isn't an easy question to answer. Stick with Michael Carrick or twist (with whom?). Maybe the players are OK but maybe not good enough for promoti...
As I wait for King Charles III to address the Italian Parliament (maybe my stream from Sky is a tad delayed...): A disappointing performance from Bo...
@original-fat-bob - Get better soon, Bob. And if your predicted score proves correct, then I guess that will encourage a swift recovery. I'd be delig...
@Jarkko - I think I might have been too pessimistic with the number of supporters who qualify for the various points tiers. The website says: 180+ ...
@Jarkko - I'm not sure how many away tickets Sheff Wed has offered Boro but my mate (who will organise things) says it will be at least Thursday befor...
@Powmill - Great starter piece. We are now at the "business end" of the season. Can Boro do the business? The thing is that, in these games, teams ...
The atmosphere in the pub was good last night. The smell of garlic from the pizzas which people had ordered was heavy. The game started with a BANG an...
@martin-bellamy - Thanks for that. The football blog with "extras"!
@martin-bellamy - One of the likeable things about Durham City is its size: small and walkable. Yet there is much to see in Durham and the Cathedral i...
@martin-bellamy - Love it! Must get a hat made up! (As it happens my son-and heir attended St Aidan's College which is on the banks of the River Wea...
I think I'm right that the 45th and 47th President of the US intends, at about 10pm UK time today, to announce his "Liberation Day" tariffs against t...
Thanks for the starter, @Martin. It served as a reminder to alter my diary/calendar, which was originally written-up listing this game as a Saturday ...
@pedro - Quite a few mugs like us on this site, renewing!
@pedro - My heart bleeds for Seny Dieng who is reported as "not being happy as a number two" (keeper). At least he is being paid. Speaking as someon...
@peter-surtees - It may well now look as though, if Boro were to have to play Sheffield United, Leeds or Burnley in the Play-Offs, Boro would be fated...
