@philip-of-huddersfield - Well, you "sort-of" got it right. Boro will be playing at St James' Park. Just not the one in Newcastle!
@Andy-R - Thanks for that. I am not sure whether you have been practicing these posts but, if you have, it's working! It will be interesting to see wh...
A win is a win but a clean sheet is good to see. And Latte Lath scored, for all that I'd have liked to see Coburn play and score, to get him up and ru...
@k-p-in-spain - I'm not surprised, K-P. I wrote some time ago about Chuba Akpom having averaged about 1 goal in every 6 games throughout his career, ...
@k-p-in-spain - Thanks for that link on Steve Gibson. I didn't like the next item on the link: possible Nottingham Forest interest in Hayden Hackney...
@andy-r Thanks for the clarification, Andy. It would have been embarassing if I'd done the ones suggested by me in my post at 5pm yesterday (or fail...
@deleriad - I'd like to see Coburn start. Ideally he'd be told by Carrick that he will get a start by having an extended run in the next 5 or 6 games...
@OFB - If, as appears to be the case, there is some confusion about the CORRECT spreadsheet, can the current version be circulated again (or put on Di...
@powmillnaemore - It's official! We on this Blog DO know more about the future of the orange harvest in Florida than about football. I wonder which ar...
Thanks for that Opener, @Selwynoz. Good stuff. Making a profit of some 40M Euros in one season on a player bought at the age of 18 years is clearly ...
@clive-hurren - Your Royal Highness, I didn't spot you there... Grim was the word used in some of the posts above*, and I would endorse that view. ...
BBCTees for me..... Wouldn't it be good for Coburn to show his worth and McGree to show it would be foolish not to have his name down first on the t...
@k-p-in-spain Let's hope it's NOT a Titanic moment. Please ..?
@philip-of-huddersfield - My "page" of the Blog must have taken a long time to refresh itself as I see your news about Ken Smith's death had been put ...
I typed the above without knowing that ken has died. Maybe I was typing when Philip was typing the news. I will now go back to read what has been sa...
@philip-of-huddersfield - With regard to your update on Ken Smith, I had a look at the website for the Sand Bank Care Home in Kirkleatham Street, Redc...
Many of us on here clearly have no idea what is going to happen in the away game tomorrow against Sheffield Wednesday, but we mostly fear for what MIG...
I heard much of the game despite being in a "poor-signal bubble". I would probably have been better off hearing none of it. Crooks scored, though? H...
@deleriad - Nice, thoughtful piece. I would hesitate to choose the team, as you have done, but I couldn't disagree with any of the points you have ma...
@jarkko - Thanks for the link, Jarkko. Very interesting and particularly noteworthy that when each new manager comes in, there's a good chance that m...
@boroexile - I remember in 6th Form going to Ampleforth. The cricket team scored about 105 or 110 batting first but Ampleforth won by either 9 or 10 w...
@pedro - Thanks, Pedro. I already have the app on my phone linking Boro to me, so I could get tickets etc, and it includes the fixtures. I must have...
@OFB - Your Starter (and thanks for it, old chap) shows that football will soon be back with us. I am NOT so confident of a 3-0 Boro win but would be...
@martin-bellamy - Martin, there was a try-fest last night in Wales 32-26 Fiji with both teams getting a bonus point for scoring 4 tries. Cracking game...
@martin-bellamy - As others on here could tell you (Ken Smith included), at Coatham School (SWT) it was Rugby Union all the way. Not until I got to 6...
@martin-bellamy - "Kickers or trundlers of ra-ra...?". I am guessing you ask whether I prefer Rugby Union or Rugby League. In which case I have to s...
On the Untypical Boro Blog, Vic would threaten a red card if I mentioned that the World Cup begins this evening with France opening the tournament wit...
@martin-bellamy - That's the more likely one... And on here we are Diasborians are we not, OFB?
@jarkko - A Smoggy...?
