I apologise for the delay after yesterday's match. I am at a loss to explain the game against Norwich. There was a low crowd but the club will, anywa...
I have a gnawing feeling deep inside me that the recent form shown by BORO can't carry on. Something has to change. Would it be unduly optimistic to ...
@powmillnaemore - I must say that when I went through the list of the money behind the Premier League Clubs, I felt a warm feeling towards Luton Town....
Further to the post I made at 10.35am, I thought it might be interesting to look at the ownership of the EPL clubs and the estimated net worth of the ...
It's a difficult conundrum: obviously Championship teams see promotion to the PL as their target yet, if achieved, in the large majority of cases that...
@stircrazy - If we can have pundits deciding which teams should, or shouldn't, be banned from the Top Flight, can we please have a vote on which pundi...
Clive - I very much enjoyed reading this Starter. I shouldn't worry about the Leonard Cohen vibes: if you'd written about the confidence you were har...
@clive-hurren - I'm sure it will be a Bootiful piece.
Poor Clive. Mind you, I've got one coming up in the not-too-distant future: the away game at Birmingham City. The one drafted earlier with the sub-t...
Maybe we should have a sweepstake - "Guess the number of season-tickets sold for 2024-25". Even Maddo on BBC Tees is talking about the possibility o...
The Stoke second seemed inevitable. A BORO goal would have been a surprise.
You all know the rules - even if Boro should be 5-0 down after 30 minutes, and all 11 players are showing dreadful form, there will be no substitution...
@exmil - One for the oldies there! Poor old Johnny in the background.
@k-p-in-spain - Whilst dry, the good thing about stollen, from my point of view, is the marzipan. I love the almondy taste. That's why I'm happy to ...
@lenmasterman @martin-bellamy @OFB - thanks for the replies and information. All the supermarkets in the UK sell stollen these days, and Panettone, i...
@werdermouth - Do people eat Christmas Pudding in Germany and, if so, is that with custard, ice cream or cream (or any/all of them, because I know my ...
I should have said "abstinence" rather than "abstention" at the end of para 2 in the 15.59pm post, above.
@martin-bellamy - I was there at the Milennium Stadium, too. Flew down from Teesside Airport to Cardiff with a mate and flew back very late the same ...
@martin-bellamy - Football is said to be a cruel game (maybe not as cruel as Rugby League but maybe that is another subject). I remember when Newcast...
@selwynoz And a belated welcome to @chris-from-barlby from me as well. The more contributing, the merrier.
@k-p-in-spain - I was first!!!
@martin - Thanks for that Starter piece. It was a very enjoyable read. I must be a youngster as I knew about Sir Stanley Matthews. And I don't think...
@exmil - I agree that your decision seems sensible in light of the team's position in the league table following recent results. Thanks anyway for th...
@werdermouth - More money needs to be spent, though I appreciate there are other services in the UK crying out for money, too, and at some point a bal...
@martin-bellamy & @werdermouth - I think you are right that there are some places where no amount of money would cause most of us to move, but the...
@jarkko _ I'm not sure whether you were really asking for information whilst you are on your travels abroad. If you were: Against Leicester City...
@selwynoz - Middlesbrough FC, whilst dear to the hearts of some of us mugs, isn't a big city club, it isn't a club which can point to a trophy room fu...
@martin-bellamy - Mine, too! And probably a grand total of NO shots on target against that mythical team.
@paulinboro - Your son's friend, watching one game at the Riverside against Plymouth Argyle, is saying what many BORO supporters have been saying for ...
@andy-r - But this squad (with some additions) will not start the next season. Instead there will be a number of players going out. It would be a sur...
