@selwynoz - Thanks for the Match Preview, which was a good read. A "we are here, so what do we need to do in order to get where we want to be" piece....
@exmil - Prices discussed for footballers are often ridiculous over-estimates but Morgan Rogers was a steal at the money Villa paid and, if they sell ...
@werdermouth - Just as all three promoted in 2024 might very well end up this season being relegated back to The Championship (though Wolves, promoted...
@martin-bellamy - What I'm suggesting is that for a club in Boro's position and unlikely to win the "lottery" of discovering a long-lost billionaire t...
@stircrazy - The stats from the report in The Times, for which you kindly provided the link, suggest an even game rather than one which Sunderland des...
@lenmasterman - I enjoyed reading those posts, too. We can all see there are issues with the team and the system it plays. It might be a combination...
One point of view is that we should be resigned to winning some games we will not be expected to win, followed by defeats in matches we thought would ...
It's past midnight. I don't have it in me to write a long piece about the Boro v Sunderland game. But just a few points: Do we support the team tha...
@john-richardson - Glad to hear that, John.
@werdermouth - No problems, Werder.
As I have said on the Transfer/Rumours thread, I have been a little busy lately so have not posted on here for a few days. But I have read @OFB's wond...
Sorry, but I've been a bit busy so I haven't posted much here recently. As far as concerns selling/buying/loans of players, none of us on here will be...
@jarkko - Ten years old children at my village Primary School MIGHT concede a goal like that second one. They would probably still be laughed at. Th...
Martin - Thanks for another good read and thanks, too, to Deepdale Dave for the Preston intel. Let's hope we have all, or WILL have, escaped unscath...
@original-fat-bob - Nice bit of motoring journalism there. I was delighted with the result. Two bits of excellence for the two goals. A CLEAN sheet....
@original-fat-bob - I have very mixed feelings about this. Do I see him as a 20+ goals a season player for a team at the top end of The Championship? ...
@Powmill-Naemore - Thanks for the Match Preview and particularly the "Baggies' name theories". I've no idea. If I had to guess, I'd say the bag-mone...
We have massively missed Morris. I accept that when Boro players click, playing well, the football is good to watch and the team often wins. The pr...
As a final thought before I get on with the rest of my life, which team will get to the Premier League the sooner - Middlesbrough or West Bromwich Alb...
Is anyone really surprised that Boro should lose here after being 1-0 up? " "In the 2nd half upfront Boro were impotent and they were undone at the ...
Double bu**er"! Is this Boro side REALLY a promotion candidate? In the last few weeks there has been a noteable failure to beat teams who were, at th...
Bu**er! (As AV used to say at this juncture). 1-1 early in the second half, and a couple of attacks soon after the equaliser that could have made Boro...
HOOORAY! Latte Lath in a breakaway goal. Pompey 0-1 Boro with a Burgzorg assist (30 minutes).
@k-p-in-spain - I know that accidents happen but an awful lot of Boro's players seem to "take a knock in training". Maybe they should be wearing neo...
@exmil - The information in my post (about Atlanta's "bid" for Latte Lath) came from OFB in his post of 16th January at 9.19pm on the Transfer Thread....
@OFB on the Transfers thread - $20M offer for Latte Lath verbally accepted by MFC with only personal terms to be agreed. It will need some good PR t...
@jarkko - Very kind of you, Jarkko. I am toggling between Ipswich v Brighton and Man U v Southampton. Both are 1-1 and I have missed BOTH goals by wa...
@werdermouth - Yes, I think it's an "open secret" that the economics of football at the higher levels, and in the Premier League in particular, are ri...
@OFB - Thanks so much for your Match preview. Someone above thought it was your best ever and I don't want to disagree. I don't want to go back to pr...
It's all very well saying it was the performance rather than the result that was important in the FA Cup tie against Blackburn. But that makes it wor...
