@peter-surtees - Good points made there, Peter. I suppose buried there is the question "What was the coaching staff doing hiding Hayden Hackney until...

@exmil - No from me as well but I guess abroad will beckon. That multi-billions Saudi League..?

@werdermouth - Fair comment, Werder. It might be that the Academy reflects the team. The team in those days of Downing, Morrison, Cattermole, McMahon,...

@selwynoz - Good question. I suppose if you bring in on loan some other clubs' "up and coming young stars who will replace our young up-and-comers an...

@pedro - Nice one, Pedro. I suppose one problem we have is that we don't know WHAT promises, if any, MC was given by the Owner of the club. If he was...

@jarkko - Spain kept possession better than England and regained possession, when they had lost it, quicker than England. England, until the final st...

@gt - I doubt that Mr Gibson is picking the team unless someone has evidence to the contrary. If you were referring to McGree as the best player footb...

@pedro - As I said, it's that fellow HOPE raising his head above the parapet again...!

@deleriad - You may well be right. In which case that's why the club pays Michael Carrick a not-inconsiderable sum to manage/coach the players. Let's...

@lenmasterman - I love that sort of witty comment. One of my favourites, apart from many to have come from the lips or pen of Winston Churchill, is ...

@john-richardson - Wonderful news!

Like others above, I wish Chuba Akpom well at Ajax. That was always one of my favourite European clubs. I realise it was unlikely he'd stay at Boro...

@john-richardson - Best Wishes, John and Good Luck at tomorrow's appointment!

@original-fat-bob - I thought it was a penalty by the Man U keeper against WOLVES but my Man U supporting friend, not surprisingl,y did not. The keep...

I have just been to the the fish+chip shop to buy today's lunch. A chap who came in was having a really enthusiastic discussion about England Women's ...

@jarkko - It's hard to beat a nice batch of signings to lighten the mood.

@k-p-in-spain - I know it is possible for people, who are far more IT literate than I, to put together a skillfully-edited video which can give a misl...

@john-richardson - Agreed. I also recognise we are currently only 2 games into the League season so there is no need to hide all the sharp knives in t...

I have just read the posts sent following the Coventry game. Looks like we have a problem, Houston. The point about it not only being a problem this s...

@jarkko - thanks for the link to the match highlights. I have just watched them in the beer garden of the Craster Arms in Beadnell. Listened last nig...

@pedro I dread to think how big the club's Water Bill must be. As I said elsewhere, it seems strange that Boro could even think of watering the pitc...

And I forgot to mention it, but I hope @KenSmith enjoyed the later Ashes Tests and particularly the end of the last Test where ENGLAND snatched a 2-2 ...

@powmillnaemore - Very kind of you to have included a randomly selected set of predictions on my behalf. I look forward to seeing how it all pans out ...

@powmillnaemore - That would be really great idea, Powmill! If you'd like randomly to select the numbers we could have a Forever Dormo's randomly sele...

Just a brief pop-in here as I have returned from Beadnell on the Northumberland Coast (Mrs Dormo has some appointments but we return up there later th...

@adymac - Welcome back!

@original-fat-bob : Both alternatives seem to require Boro to take actions (cancelling Payero's contract early so Boca Juniors can sign him on a free...

I popped in to read the posts since my last one (I think on the previous page or maybe two pages back on this thread). Thanks, Clive for the update o...

I have been quiet as I have been away for a few days. Nothing sinister! I have been to Hutton le Hole. An absolute vacuum for mobile phone signals...
