@lenmasterman _- A really good post and your argument is well and reasonably made. I must confess that I felt miserable as I walked away from The Riv...
Just before I sit down to my fish, chips & mushy peas... I have just listened on BBC5Live to an interview with Hull City's manager, Mr Rosenior....
Finally, maybe if I am "realistic" in my predicition it might have the "reverse result" and Fate would favour Boro for a change? In that case I will ...
Well, Fellow Diaborians, let's go down the rabbit hole which is YouTube. It is a medium which contains much that is good (some travel videos by exper...
You've heard the drill: if the defence is weak it's because the midfield isn't giving proper support; if the attack is weak it's because the midfield ...
Nice one, Powmill! It would require someone with much better command of Welsh than me to comment on the quality of Google's translation but it's goo...
Our Plan B is to continue with Plan A, whatever is happening. We are very slow to use substitutes and slow to change the system if it looks under str...
@martin-bellamy - I hope that Coburn turns out to be a really good player. I'm not SURE that he will but one thing is certain: if you don't get a game...
Well, fellow Diasborians, maybe it is ME who was responsible for that defeat by Hull City, in light of my optimistic "maybe 1-0 but more likely to be ...
@exmil - Very informative, so thanks for that. And in the second post above, the link you left to the article by the sports lawyer put more meat on ...
@jarkko - Rhys Williams (lovely Welsh names there) was a really good player but sadly very injury prone. Maybe you can come to the UK when Boro approa...
@clive-hurren - It was a pleasure, Clive. It was Timothee Chalamet who made the comments about the "sexy" Hull accent. He is a Hollywood actor curre...
@john-richardson - Very kind of you, John. I think one of the joys of this new system (apart from the lightening of the load on the few who previousl...
@exmil - If it happened it would certainly be "destabilising" for Boro. As to "illegal", approaching the Boss of another club (ie surruptitiously an...
@lenmasterman - Phyllosan Fortifies the Over-Forties.... "Go to work on an egg" -- "A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play..." -- "It does ...
Morning, fellow Diaborians! Sorry to hear about your back @Jarkko. I suppose it means that I am one place nearer to the "call-up" so I will take my ...
@original-fat-bob - No problem. At one point I thought I'd deleted the saved Opener piece from my laptop (!!!) but managed to avoid that catastrophe a...
@selwynoz - I also think that if Morsy was still at Boro he'd have walked into our team on Saturday. Ipswich = good team, well managed and confident....
It WORKED but by cutting and pasting rather than using that toggle button, and I didn't lose the saved document. Next time I will save twice with slig...
That was a very poor way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Spitting with rain on the walk to the ground. Cold, grey and breezy. Not a great spectacle to...
@martin-bellamy - Thanks for that link. I HAVE heard of Filey Bay whisky and I think I have seen it displayed "upstairs" at Campbell's of Leyburn, bu...
@original-fat-bob - Nice one! I have one bottle of Tamnavulin Red Wine Cask edition and one bottle of Tamnavulin Double Cask (matured in American oak...
@jarkko - If you are playing at centre back it would only be fair to move Rav to full back. After, all you are making yourself available at short not...
@martin-bellamy - Somehow I am not surprised to hear that. I mean - Christmas comes around at this time every year so you might have expected the buy...
@werdermouth - You, OLD? A cynic obviously but OLD? I think just settling into early middle-age with the wisdom acquired over the years being put to...
@lenmasterman - I suspect most of us on this Blog (and maybe the football supporting public generally) think the way football is run in this country i...
@deleriad - Thank you for your Opener which, again, and since we now have a variety of contributors, is proving to be something of a delight in view o...
MARTIN - Thanks for that link to an interesting read about Stuani. When at the club he was our best striker. I was pleased to see him doing so well a...
@OFB - He will go down with that ship at the end of this season.... To be fair to him, I suspect that Sir Alex Ferguson or Brian Clough in their resp...
