@werdermouth - Did Hoppe answer back the manager in the changies?
@werdermouth - That was a piece chock-full of information and chuckles. I particularly liked the quick Putin/Wilder footwork in paragraph 6. Thanks ...
@original-fat-bob - It would be a very dodgy decision to sell Jones if there was a chance that Doak might be recalled or sold by Liverpool (it's not a...
@pedro - I think that social media can offer very real benefits. Family members living far apart can keep in touch if some live in the UK and others a...
Hi there, @Len & @Werder. I turned away for a day or so (?) and now see there is a Blackburn thread for the FA Cup match on Saturday but, before I...
@lenmasterman - But who checks the Fact Checkers?
@original-fat-bob - I have a suspicion it will end with BORO 3 and that must happen SOME times! It would be better, though, if the opponents don't sc...
@jarkko - I'd be relaxed about Boro averaging a decent 1.7 points per game if Boro scored that percentage against the better teams in the division. B...
@martin-bellamy - Sorry to hear about that, Martin. Get well. I hope your stepping back will be a short affair. We will miss your comments and I'm s...
@pedro @martin-bellamy @PhilipOfHuddersfield - I will feel much better about life generally if Boro could get the train back on the rails. Whoever is...
@jarkko - Marcus Forss was last seen chatting to Sleeping Beauty (and that was BEFORE she went for that extended sleep). It's been so long since he p...
Ah well... Ross County won the 3rd away game on the trot, to leap up the Scottish Premiership table. As for Doak, if you take a player on loan then...
@jarkko - Next: 50 things to make from Reindeer antlers followed by how to survive in Minus 40 degrees!
@clive-hurren - If we all repeat, really often and loudly, that the match officials were poor, then it will at least divert attention from the perform...
@gt - For me, Morris has been out biggest "miss" in terms of injured players. And the feeling that our players heal much more slowly than others.
@pedro - I apologise for my wilful and frankly ridiculously optimistic score prediction. I posted it on the walk into The Riverside. No alcohol, not e...
BORO 3-0 Cardiff
I enjoyed reading another good Match Preview from Martin and then a host of replies which were fun, too. Fun if you don't mind losing money on the Po...
Two clean sheets in a row?
@stircrazy - Thanks for the clip. A good way to end a game!
@original-fat-bob - Ah, yes! I did know that but I'd forgotten. The bottle of Pinot Noir had nothing to do with it....
Wow! Well done young Alex Gilbert. Boro now 5th in the table.
Alex Gilbert! Deep into injury time. A club must use its youth players!
It sounds as though the match continues in its failure to dazzle. I am treading water until the final whistle, at which point I will be preparing a ...
Not sounding as if it's the (best) Match of the Day at HT - a "drab affair" per BBC Tees.
HULL CITY 1-2 BORO (my prediction as the game kicks off).
@stircrazy - VERY interesting. If I were a Hull City defender, I'd be delighted Ben Doak has been dropped/rested/rotated. But if I were I Jones I'd b...
@werdermouth - Good to hear about your health improving. Here's hoping you'll get a further boost to that health as a result of Hull v Boro starting ...
Thanks again, Len, for your Match Preview. I enjoy reading the posts you write even though this one makes me a little less enthusiastic about predicti...
I decided eventually to stay at home to listen to the Monday night football on the radio. No alcohol has passed my lips (again) and therefore my kidn...
