One more sleep before The Big Game. Well, the biggest since last Monday and, no doubt, the biggest until we greet Oxford United for next Saturday's ma...

@powmillnaemore - Wolstenholme + John Motson have been caught up in traffic but will arrive for the second half. (By which I mean before John Arlott a...

@stircrazy - Walker and Peter O'S are racing each other to the bar as I type... Peter is in front by a short head.  

@martin-bellamy - He's expected back soon after his early bath. He knocked someone's Guinness over and had to clean himself...

Ali Brownlee is in the Pantheon of the Broadcasting Gods. Still shouting out after a Juninho goal or that diving header by Massimo Maccarone. Meanwhi...

@AndyR - As others have said, that was an uplifting read. And I agree it's smiles all round for Boro supporters at present. It is difficult to see...

Thanks, Malcolm.

@werdermouth - Thanks for those figures, Werder.

@philip-of-huddersfield - Maybe. But I can't see any point in keeping a shirt/squad number open for Lenihan if other active players are, or may become...

@malcolm - I thought last season that Ayling's career was coming to its end. In annual terms he was at late November: still capable of providing a fe...

@malcolm - Thanks again for the information about Agent Wilder's Press comments concerning Boro. It is good that he and I agree on the performance by...

@stircrazy - What was the figure then? I guess £100M in the PL and, if relegated after just one season there, then two annual umbrella payments of £40...

@martin-bellamy - Talking of former Torquay players ... When I was at university, the lad who had a room two doors from mine had a car. There were 8...

Well, @Jarkko, let me tell you that I floated home after the game last night. The temperature was mild, there was hardly a breath of wind and it was ...

@martin-bellamy - I think we ARE the real deal, Martin. I agree with you!

Right! It's shoes on and a sprint to the Drunken Dragon for the evening's entertainment! #UTB.

@malcolm - Thanks for this and similar pieces you've posted before. Your cut+paste bits mean that I can avoid having to open the original articles (w...

@boro-beckys-dad - So do those of us currently in the UK!

So long as the Boro does the job we all hope for on Monday evening, it doesn't matter what other clubs do. It is in Boro's hands at the moment. Other...

@malcolm - Foreign money, and not modest amounts but enough to float a small country, may be the thing that ruins football. Owners' money and national...

@andy-r - It's a strange thing, personal likes/dislikes. I haven't ever REALLY disliked many people and I have never REALLY hated Club X or Club Y. I...

Thank you for the very kind comments about the Match Preview, fellow Diasborians. It's just that it feels like we are being battered over the head w...

@werdermouth - Thanks, mate! Always good to know I have a backstop. Those "ths" are a bit of a problem. It's when I cut and paste from my saved docu...

@pedro - You are right that I started to write it yesterday but I put in the "finishing touches" (or rather wrote the later sections and reviewed it) ...

I have just posted the Match Preview for Sheffield Utd v BORO on a separate thread.

@clive-hurren -Maybe, if he looks special, he should be put on the pitch so he has a chance to PROVE he is special. If he is getting game time it's l...

@pedro - That WAS the time I was sitting on the side of the bed and pressing "send". It was 1.09am (appropriately).

@exmil - I reply to this as I sit on the side of my bed before getting in! The blog is primarily one for Boro supporters, wherever they may be in the...

@paulinboro - That was good for Boro! OK, time to socialiase now...
