@martin-bellamy - Thanks, Martin. I have heard enough and read enough about the England shirt (it's quite simple, folks - if you think something grim...
Nice Starter, @clive-hurren. I suppose that BORO would have to play to 100% and hope that Southampton had an off day, and even then there'd be the nee...
I'd say that the qualities that make a player an attractive purchase are ability, character, age and price (in terms of purchase price and wages). Th...
@original-fat-bob - I must admit that although I've always renewed my seat at the Riverside (the same seat since the stadium opened - it's even got my...
@original-fat-bob - Yes, much better than an unknown owner of any description! Maybe the plan is muscle in on the concert business (music acts, big c...
@jarkko - As he left the field on Saturday I doubted Firss would be fit for the international games. Whether with rest and treatment he might be ready...
@jarkko - Thanks for those two posts, Jarkko. It would be nice to go back to a simpler time when SEVERAL clubs had a chance to win the title. And I...
@clive-hurren - Spot on! And another thing that doesn't REALLY effect me as a BORO fan (because we don't have VAR in the Championship) is that the su...
@martin-bellamy - The issue is getting football clubs to agree on things/a way forward. If your suggestion were to happen, it would cause the PL clubs...
@exmil - This probably needs its own book, maybe a library, to answer. One the one hand, does anyone believe that the various UK Government or Indepe...
@martin-bellamy - Nice one!
@martin-bellamy - I have no idea how anyone would calculate the insurance premiums for the Heart of Gold after the Infinite Improbablilty Drive was in...
@jarkko - The system in the UK has changed greatly over the years. Maybe I had thee best of it (as with many other things in my life so far). I went t...
@paulinboro - That's maybe where I went wrong. I should have said he'd have to go to live with his Aunt & Uncle (and Grannie & Grandpa) near ...
@exmil - An absolutely valid point of view, well expressed. My concern is that we will not see the good prospects (VDB, Hackney...) playing very lo...
@jarkko - It looked to me as if he'd pulled his hamstring. And he walked very slowly and carefully from the field, some of the time holding the back o...
Well, obviously a club should aim to win all its games if possible (but even the Arsenal "Invincibles" didn't win all their games, just didn't lose an...
@jarkko - As I regularly remind my son... I have, to be fair, tried to temper his enthusiasm about the club's potential under its very wealthy owner...
@martin-bellamy - Nice one! It MIGHT come to that. I was bashing away on my mobile phone whilst trying to follow the football on ITV. A 4-3 win at t...
@martin-bellamy - Football is now a "business", a multi-million pound concern rather than a family owned business (eg a local shop where the owner's p...
@martin-bellamy - He is 67 years.
AND FINALLY - Aynsley Pears' performance against us yesterday (to say nothing of his outstanding performance against Newcastle Utd in the previous rou...
Well, there are positives and negatives about that game. We kept a welcome clean sheet, weren't defeated and therefore continued the "unbeaten streak"...
@jarkko - So he did! And I read that post of his and liked it, as several others did. I must be going around the bend... (When I typed that first, I...
Who missed out AndyR...?
@k-p-in-spain - The question is: "How Untypical can BORO be?" You wouldn't put it beyond them, but maybe after 3 successive wins some self-belief migh...
@lenmasterman and @pedro - Thank you, gentlemen. It's sort of fun doing the Starters but back in the day, when Werder, RedcarRed, Bob were doing them ...
@clive-hurren - It's a fair cop, Gov! I'd read it through a few times before pressing "send" but I guess my eyes were just glossing over the mistake s...
You will all have had to take steps to renew Season Tickets by that (Southampton game) weekend, if it is intended to take advantage of the extended Ea...
@martin-bellamy - I would certainly take a 2-0 win. That would be four wins on the trot and suddenly the world is our oyster. Yet only a few weeks ...
