If promotion were to be achieved NEXT season rather than this, after a failure to go up this time around, I think it would be (1) much harder than to ...

@martin-bellamy - I very much enjoyed the paper you linked to your last post. An interesting short read. Maybe the feats of our heroes at Boro (or oth...

That was NOT a good performance. It was partly good. The Curate's egg looked good on its plate from a distance but on approach it was clear it had a s...

I agree. The Press Conference didn't fill me with confidence. I will be very nervous tomorrow at the match. I wish the team and the manager/coach well...

So, will it be Boro 2nd XI versus Millwall tomorrow? I listened to Kim Hellberg during his Presser this afternoon. I wasn't hanging on his every word ...

ANDY - Thanks for the Match Preview which has done its best to get me thinking of Boro again. I have been taking some time to think about other thing...

@original-fat-bob - I had a fear that your prediction about HH may prove to be true. If it does happen that way, then Boro will have some thinking to...

Thanks for those pieces, Bob. The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there... But it makes you smile to read about it.

@simonfallaha - I so much hope you are right, Si. I'd LOVE a summer break where I can bask in the joy of a successful 2025-26 campaign, and I can get ...

@mw-in-darwin - I remember spending a day at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester - not out of choice but to attend a Conference/Course. There were LOTS of ...

@martin-bellamy - I agree that a draw and a win against Millwall and Ipswich respectively should be enough to see Boro promoted in the Top Two PROVIDE...

@powmillnaemore - Agreed. I desperately hope we don't go into the last game at Wrexham seeking one point or three to secure automatic promotion, whil...

We, as supporters of our club, hold on to historical parallels. We may even dig out the records to see whether, in that difficult season (what, only o...

I went to a mate's house to watch the match this lunchtime on SkyTV. The sun was shining on a very pleasant day. I had a couple of mugs of good old Y...

@pedro - I think Ayling talked himself into the referee's book by comments he made to the linesman and referee, quite apart from the hugging match he ...

Toothless.

More of the same, so far, in this game. It is a good thing Boro doesn't give the Opponents this much possession and this many opportunities . They'd s...

@pedro ...and all that is the more sad because, when he does play, he usually plays well. I have seen/heard comments from Hellberg praising Fry, sayin...

@lenmasterman - This Blog must be unique.

Dael Fry is one of a number of Boro players who, when fit enough to start games, should be wrapped up in cotton wool between games. Warm down properly...

It is vital Hayden Hackney is fit for the Millwall game, and the final run-in so if that means he misses the Blackburn game, so be it. To be without H...

I agree with @exmil. Better to give Hayden Hackney the benefit of the International Break so he can come back hopefully 100% after that, rather than r...

@powmillnaemore - I don't know about you but I suspect that, from my point of view, poking my head into "my favourite films" is a kind of displacement...

...and I type this as I watch "The King's Speech".

@simonfallaha - How could I have forgotten "It's a Wonderful Life"? I have/had it on DVD as well as watching it on TV just before Christmas for DECA...

@clive-hurren - To clarlify: the Ipswich (A) game which had been listed for Saturday 18th is now to be played on Sunday 19th April at 12 noon, and th...

@powmillnaemore - So long as most of the goals end up in the Blackburn net.

@selwynoz - I suppose it's always a problem. "Name ten good films. Ok, I like that list apart from No 7, but what about X, Y and Z? I'd not taken ...

I met somebody in the local High Street earlier today. I told him I still had faith (specifically meaning in Hellberg, Boro and promotion). He looke...

@lenmasterman - I love Kes, too! The school football scenes with Brian Glover channelling his inner Bobby Charlton, the indescribable cruelty of the b...
