You turn your back for 10 minutes and OFB has dropped into the Blog a starter for the next Boro game - away to WBA. Let me guess, as I haven't read ...
@ken - If that thick mat of straight silver hair was a wig, it'd be a good one! (I had the same "hair stylist" in Redcar for well over 50 years, Mik...
@jarkko - Thanks for that, Jarkko. I don't much read the Daily Mail but it is good to see some extended thoughts on Boro's improvement under Michael ...
@exmil - I'd had probably been renewing, bar a very severe earthquake or something similarly seismic, anyway. But after the fun of recent weeks and th...
@ken - Thanks a Blooming lot for that info, Ken.
@ken - A few weeks ago (or was it a few months ago - time flies!- Ah! I've now remembered: it was the weekend before the Blast Furnace was due to be ...
@ken - Your post at 5.21pm yesterday: that's what I want to hear!
@jarkko - A Theatre in a hospital is the room in which surgeons carry out medical operations (medical procedures, removing an appendix, repairing a wo...
Andy - Thanks for the opener which for some reason seems to have passed me by for a couple of days. I was encouraged to read about QPR's poor form in ...
@ken - I'd like to join in with the best wishes being sent to you already by OFB and Jarkko. Hang on in there, old chap! I think there is every chanc...
It turned out to be Merlot after all at the pub due to a total lack of Rioja. I was disappointed at the lack of reds available. I could have gone Shi...
@stircrazy - That's fine by me. I could see the argument for Paddy but I'm OK with Dael Fry as explained in an earlier post. I'm off to the Battere...
@david-in-cumbria - Maybe a glass of the bubbly stuff, too, to celebrate if the result is right?
Len & OFB - the Spice Boys... ("One becomes two").
@lenmasterman - You are right that Fry had a game to forget, against Sunderland. I think Fry & Lenihan represent the best centre-back partnership ...
@original-fat-bob - Let's hope Archer is fit even if that decision is made late on, because his pace gives us something different and he'd certainly a...
@lenmasterman - The predictions business isn't easy, is it? I suppose if it were, the bookmakers would all have gone out of business many years ago,

OFB - thanks yet again for the opener. Everyone else - what a game in prospect on Wednesday. My mate tells me that the Sheff U v Boro game is the m...
....mind you, I think we can place too much blame on the wrong people for bad results. We've all heard managers who berate the referee for a decision...
@pedro - All players make mistakes. Strikers who cost tens of millions miss open goals, and even take "air shots". Players completely misjudge the fl...
Sheffield United 5 - 2 Burnley? GULP! Hopefully that was the Blades' best performance & result of the season and when Boro plays them it will...
Powmill - I agree Scotland are greatly improved this year. We will only find out HOW much improved when the Scots play Ireland and France. Ken - Bi...
It was difficult to concentrate on the match (via the BBC Tees commentary) because I was watching the World No 1 team play the World No 2 at Rugby Uni...
At Cardiff this afternoon any Boro win will do. I will probably say the same next mid-week against Sheffield United and if offered the proverbial "...
@powmillnaemore - So this would be the perfect time for Boro to get three points and therefore extend the lead over WBA to 7 points, so that even thou...
@ken - I remember Jamie Hood's name though it can only been for a few years that he played senior NYSD cricket in light of his serious road accident w...
