@andy-r - Archer is still only 21 years old and I still have hopes he WILL make the grade. Despite the goals Akpom scored last season (remember - his...
@jarkko - 1. £1.5M for Greenwood seems a real steal bearing in mind the fees being paid for players in recent years. 2. I know who is listed to do...
@jarkko - Wash your mouth out, Jarkko. "Ges**de"? No more of that sort of language on here, please!
Just to let everyone know that my smile remains broader than the smile shown by Forss after his goal. But I don't need the fingers.
That, my friends, is how to begin a really GOOD weekend. I have no idea what the prematch odds would have been for a 0-4 final score, but not many wou...
@powmillnaemore - Harsh, but....
@stircrazy - Yes, we and O'Brien could have done without that. Let's hope it will be nearer 2 months out than 3 months.
@martin-bellamy - Thanks for the link to your camping Blog, which I had seen before but which I happily read again. I always liked the Glawning. I al...
@martin-bellamy - We LOVED camping in Lewis & Harris (my wife and I went alone in one of our son's two-man tents) some years ago. We left the cara...
@jarkko - We had planned to go to Ullapool this year but medical appointments, some expected and some not-so expected, intervened. A number of further...
@k-p-in-spain - Thanks. Fingers crossed.
@martin-bellamy - Isn't there a planned "Old, New, Classic and Supercar event" at Whitby this weekend, where big crowds are expected...?
@deleriad - I have also been enjoying the different feel in the various Openers coming from different contributors to this Blog. Imagine if newspaper...
Got it wrong right at the end there. Nobody has scored 5 against Sunderland at Sunderland (yet) this season, though they did lose 5-2 away at Hartlep...
Well, gentlemen! It is good to read happy reports and comments from the game. No detailed analysis here but a few points: 1. A CLEAN SHEET! Magnif...
Another way of looking at it, though still food-based, was the way I assessed the game at half time. My mate in the next seat to me expressed his diss...
Maybe more tomorrow (I am in the Pickled Parrot having a couple of post-match beers) but for tonight all I will say is that the first half was gruel a...
Before other things take over, I thought I'd mention that for some reason (I can't remember how it came about), this afternoon I went back in time to ...
@original-fat-bob - Without my knowingly doing anything, my laptop has dropped out of its Wi-Fi connection whilst I've been typing so, for the THIRD t...
@powmillnaemore - Those happy days when the classified football results would include: Manchester City 1 (Lee One Pen) - Aston Villa 0. He was cer...
Thanks for that Opener, Clive. Another good one for Diasborians to read before the next game and to give us something to think about. I will never f...
@k-p-in-spain - Yes, I wondered if you left him out of your list on purpose! It sounded like he made a few really good saves. I much prefer him to...
There can be no argument - that was a GREAT win by Boro. The sort of result, too, which builds the enthusiasm which the last 5 or 6 months had eroded...
I know I have asked the question before, but does any Boro player make more of his ability than Matt Crooks? It sounded like a great ball through by ...
COBURN scores Boro's 3rd.....
...and it is grey and CHUCKING it down in Ripon. A few hundred yards away, at Ripon Races' last meeting of the year, the jockeys will need flippers an...
@werdermouth Two each now! Eek!
Went to Fountains Abbey (for the umpteenth time) this morning because we knew from the forecast that it was going to be wet this afternoon. And so it ...
What a start by Boro as Riley McGree scores in about 4 minutes! AND AS I TYPE, McGree puts a second goal in! What is going on?
