@clive-hurren - You can't argue with those figures. Unless you look at other statistics which might have been included. Opposition chances allowed. ...
@werdermouth - It also surprised me that Woodgate will be joining the gaggle of trainers/coaches/assistants at Manchester United, to support newly-app...
@powmillnaemore - What a magnificent piece of work! Not the predictions but the format, the working it all out etc. It is a pity that our clairvoyance...
I'd say that suggests Coventry's "slump" continues. On the one hand I'd be happy for the Sky Blues to have won and therefore to have other games to sq...
Just watched Conway's shot glance off the bar. He is NEVER going to score again from open play, is he? Has he run over a black cat or something?
Harry Wilson would squeak into the Boro team. Just a little. And Smith-Rowe but that's what it's like playing teams in a league above. Most of their p...
Even later to the party here. Boro now 3-1 down as the FT whistle near but still a decent performance at a Premier League ground.
@AndyR - Excellent stuff. At the tail end of the last thread (for the Southampton game) I referred to the competing views about the importance that F...
@jarkko - Wigan won the FA Cup when beating ten-man Manchester City 1-0 with a late goal (Zabaleta was sent off after 60 minutes for a second yellow ...
It's a bit of a queer one - whether the FA Cup matters any more or whether it is an appropriate game in which to play a "weakened" team. On the one...
@jarkko - It's weird. People used to think the English were mad for going out in the midday sun in the equatorial regions. Yet here we are, in 2026, ...
@martin-bellamy - That should be next year's Christmas Cards sorted out for them! Lovely photo.
@original-fat-bob - Good to hear from you and that the medical procedure you underwent has given some good results already. Of course it would be to...
AND since I haven't mentioned it yet: (1) It WAS cold at the Riverside yesterday for the match against Southampton, but at least it was dry (2) I felt...
@pedro - The so-called McIlmoyle Match: September 1970. Boro 2-0 down within 5 minutes (Rodney Marsh got one of the goals) but stormed back to a 4-2 l...
@martin-bellamy - VERY good, Martin.
@jarkko - Oh boy, Jarkko, you certainly DID miss something....!
Here in North Yorkshire the sun is shining but the cold was biting on the walk to collect the Sunday papers an hour and a half ago ago. The forecast...
@Len - I will not be expecting any similar Match Preview in the written Press. Excellent starter piece, as always from you. Just a pity that, with all...
@malcolm ...and thanks, also, for the summary of possible incomer/outgoers in your second post. Whilst having complete sympathy with Lenihan, at the...
@malcolm - Thanks for that, Malcolm (link to Teesside Live and the selling potential/prospects for some of our players in January).
I'm not giving up on them either, Martin. Mind you, there's more chance of seeing a goal here at the Viennese Concert at M'bro Town Hall by the Roya...
It's like walking through a desert. You remember setting off with water bladders which provided what you needed. But then the heat and the sand contin...
Werder - your starter deserved a much better response from Middlesbrough than today's performance at Derby. You gave us a Premier League Match Previe...
Ok, chaps! It seems that my view of the game (feeling very much deflated at the end) was shared by others. My mate who normally sits next to me at Th...
I will read the comments posted about the game shortly. But from my point of view that was a deeply disappointing performance by Boro. There might be ...
Naemore of that sort of stuff, Powmill, or people will be VERY nervous about writing Match Previews. Especially those of us who may have some powers ...
You would think if Boro looks a decent bet to go up, then HH might stay on for least a season. He'd expect a pay rise and Boro could perhaps afford t...
That was not a great game to watch. I accept in the first half Boro attacked more but there were lots of misplaced passes, passes that were under-hit ...
Saturnalia has been thoroughly enjoyed. Excessive consumption made the late afternoon uncomfortable and the expression "full to bursting" has rarely b...
