@jarkko - I saw what you did there, you punny devil! Heel/Heal...

@jarkko - You would hope, Jarkko, that with the club doctor and no doubt also a specialist who would be consulted when the issue was identified, and s...

Maybe Middlesbrough FC never played against Middlesbrough Ironopolis (when in financial difficulties I remember hearing a merger was planned between t...

@andy-r - Thanks for that updated list, although there are no changes in it for me. I don't commit all the other matches to memory but hopefully ever...

Thanks for that Starter, @OFB, which I enjoyed reading (together with the subsequent replies, especially the geographical ones). It really is stagger...

@jarkko - I am catching up with the posts today. The summers in the tent near the lake sound idyllic and something my son and his friends, and the peo...

I have had quite a lot on since the Stoke City game so I have not yet had the time to read the posts made following that match, nor the new thread whi...

@original-fat-bob - Mrs Dormo reminds me it was over 10 years ago that she had PF. And she had it in both feet which is apparently uncommon. Exercis...

My condolences, too, Jarkko. Best wishes to you and to the family members who mourn the loss of your Aunt. I hope that when you return to thoughts of...

I have some recollection of hearing that Riley McGree has plantar fasciitis - which is an extremely painful/debilitating condition caused by inflammat...

Thanks, Gents! I enjoyed his morning's read of the latest posts. Charlton's Champions was as good a team as there has ever been in England's 2nd ti...

Further to my post from yesterday (directly above this one) I see from today's Daily Telegraph (Page 1 in their Sports Section under the Headline "Eve...

@exmil - Everything seems so much better when the sun shines...

@andy-r - I must have pressed a button by mistake as, originally and before this "edit", I posted a completely blank reply! I had intended to thank ...

@lenmasterman - Sorry, Len, I hadn't seen your earlier post (about time wasting) when I put my reply up to Clive a couple of minutes ago. It's the pe...

@clive-hurren - I can only assume the ref took the view that Boro was wasting time and that may be the reason that we had 9 minutes "added time" shown...

It isn't only little clubs who get battered by the FA or Premier League for infringements of the rules, but they seem to get more HEAVILY battered. ...

@pedro - I suspect that quite a few of the players who DID play tonight (let alone those who were on the bench or missed the trip altogether) have kn...

@stircrazy - I'd hate to CANARY about it though. Three points. Six league wins (7 of all sorts) in a row. Amazingly in a play-off position when Boro ...

Come on, Boro! Norwich 1-2 Boro. There: I've let the cat out of the bag ...

If I understand this correctly, the recent record of Norwich City is "won ONE in the last 6 games". Boro on the other hand is "won FIVE on the bounce...

@andy-r - Best wishes and make a full recovery soon.

I have checked and thought I'd come back anyway, to confirm. For mountaineering fans** I can confirm I am expected to do the Starter for the followin...

@original-fat-bob - I am jealous of the Single Malt. But it's approximately 00.35am so it's a bit late for that. Thanks for the Starter. I have an ...

@lenmasterman - Mrs Dormo is a retired teacher and when asked what she taught, she usually answered "Children". To be fair it was children up to the ...

@jed-m - It is good to have you "back on board". The thing about this Blog is that people can contribute as frequently or infrequently as they wish. ...

@original-fat-bob - It happens to us all, OFB.

I have had a less-than-satisfactory morning with my laptop moving in and out of Wi-Fi. I KNOW I should save posts before pressing send, but.... I sh...

Right - that was a 1-0 win and I'll take that every time. Another clean sheet! England Cricket STUFFED in the World Cup by South Africa. But the ...

Well, gentlemen (and any ladies looking in!), it is Matchday! It has finally arrived after what seems like a month rather than 2 weeks. We may now l...
