@andy-r - Thanks for the list, Andy. Dates will be added to the diary. I will dig the quill pen out later....
@exmil - (And Malcolm?) I agree that I'm content to hear very little about potential transfers until the player's signature is on the contract and the...
@gt - My guess is away to Sheff Wed.
@ken - A relative of mine said all the really good music, the very best, was never the popular music. I suggested Carmen. He said "Well, apart from C...
@jarkko - I have a sort-of-feeling that Wilf Mannion was the better player but I didn't see him live. Mannion visited one of the village pubs with Geo...
@ken - Thanks for that list, Ken. Harry Brook only the 707th in 146 years of England Test Cricket. I'm sure he will re-write the records that Root w...
@ken - Nice to hear from you on the Blog again, Ken. Hopefully a couple of weeks in the Hospice with more day-to-day care will improve things for you....
@original-fat-bob - Go carefully, OFB. Supervising work in the garden is better than DOING work in the garden.
@jarkko - He was a really great servant of Boro from the coaching benches and as a scout. He supported the Boro, too. He will be very much missed at ...
@jarkko - Thanks for the link to that Sol Brynn story.
@exmil - I don't subscribe to the view that "because he's been at a Big Club" he must be good, and I am hoping Boro doesn't either. In which case I a...
@original-fat-bob - Quiet? I am having a gentle heart massage after the stress yesterday of listening to Ross County coming back from 3-0 down on agg...
@selwynoz - Boro needs players who WANT to play for Boro, for the shirt, for the supporters. I doubt Djed Spence falls into that group of players. ...
As I have just posted on the "Next season's Transfers" thread, I am willing to join the group of members who are prepared to post thread-starters befo...
@werdermouth - Your post yesterday at 2.08pm mirrors my views. If there was a season to be promoted, it was THIS season (though I'd accept next seaso...
I am not surprised to hear the relative poverty of Boro's set-piece goals this season (AndyR's post, above). I know the crowd tends to cheer loudly w...
@powmillnaemore - Very good post, Powmill. I was just about to pull my gun from its holster and follow you out of the trench. Then I realised I'm a l...
@exmil - "In reply to criticism of the loss of intensity during the last few fixtures, MC probably knew Howson and Ramsey were finished for the season...
@pedro - We will have to HOPE for next season, that we don't lose all our better players and that we will sign some players who have flown under the r...
@ken - Sorry to hear you had a fall. I hope you recover and was pleased that you didn't mention any broken bones or similar. Take care. The Ashes sho...
It feels as numbingly disappointing at 8.15am the next day, as it felt at the referee's blowing of the full-time whistle. I suspect we all knew as so...
@exmil - I must be more nervous about this match than I thought! Coventry City, obviously. Hopefully Luton Town in a stadium in a capital city near ...
@billy - If we are ahead at the time the final whistle blows, that will be good enough for me. It would be great to be three goals up in the first 10 ...
@lenmasterman - Good post, Len. I agree every word. It's a 10 from me...
Well, Si's return will be welcomed by me... And if there are others lurking in the background, reading the comments but feeling too shy to join in, ...
If the Play-Offs turn out to be a successful campaign for Boro, I hope everyone on this blog realises it will mean a change of name for our club. In ...
Well done again, Old Feather Brain. I hope that the next Starter For Ten you write will be in readiness for Boro v Manchester City in 3 months time. ...
@jarkko - I will certainly be there, Jarkko. Hoping to be able to celebrate afterwards, too! I am confident that, in front of a sell-out crowd, Boro...
Well, here we are at last! The regular season over and only the play-offs to come between Heaven or.....(?). Fine margins between absolute elation a...
@pedro - The crime there, Pedro, was Smith trying the same trick a second time with the same result, and a goal ensued.
