@martin-bellamy - A heat-warming story and one you should be proud of. It's not all about the money, so long as you have enough to get by. In my vi...
I would not be filled with apprehension if it DID turn out to be Aaron Danks but I suspect it may be Edwards.
@pedro ....well, we were given a nudge that Boro was looking at two un-named candidates who were based in Europe. He'd fit that description. No idea...
The International Breaks - one of the changes to football that I'd like to reverse. Or you could say: "Well, if your club is rich enough to be able t...
My mate tells me that he is ignoring football and concentrating on cricket (even, through gritted teeth, T20 for the next 6 weeks or so) until the foo...
I was quietly minding my own business when the algorithm (on the TV!!) pointed me in the direction of a podcast series "Second Tier - The Championship...
It probably isn't worth our time searching out the youth team coaching results of Wolf in Germany, nor the Championship promotion exploits of Jokanov...
@powmillnaemore - As an advertisement for AI, its up-to-date relevance and/or accuracy, that answer would make me go back to counting on my fingers or...
Good afternoon, Playmates! I have NO IDEA who will be appointed as the next Boro manager/coach. I have read the posts above. I think we are in drea...
Ah ha! Still the same. Better for the sake of simplicity..!
Let's see what has happened (if anything) to my identifying tile/gravatar or whatever.....
I have been away from the Blog for a few days and have not yet caught up with the recent posts, though I have read a couple of pages. However, and be...
To be honest, as I sit in the sunshine next to the lock (as in Lockside, Ripon) I don't really care who wins the Play-Offs. I can see an argument for ...
@AndyR - I'm not sure when I'll get round to comment on the playing staff and so on. It might be an issue easier to address after an expected "End of...
@stircrazy - Boro does seem to be a very secretive club. Many of the transfers are for figures that are "undisclosed". I don't know what the club bel...
@werdermouth - I get that Premier League average of 25 minutes on the pitch for substitutes, but it must be very difficult to measure that up to playe...
I am glad I don't have to make the decison that will be made by Steve Gibson - does he stick or twist with Michael Carrick? I don't know what I'd dec...
@martin-bellamy - The "i" and the FT....
@werder and @lenmasterman - I HATE IT when clubs are at loggerheads with their local Press. I remember a lengthy Cold War between Newcastle United an...
@werdermouth - Hardly a sprint to the line. More like a gentle jog to warm down.
Has anyone looked at the final Championship table, and looked particularly at the teams which will contest the Play-Offs. The BBC Sport App shows the...
In my post of 1st May at 6.15pm, above, I said: "As to the football, it's quite simple - Boro MUST win and, after full time we look to see what the ot...
Sleep well, chaps. As they used to say before Christmas: "Just one more sleep...."
@werdermouth - Firstly thank you for the spanner-work (not forgetting the hammer, screwdriver and the occasional boot and maybe the on/off switch for ...
@martin-bellamy - I hope you have a couple of bottles of Single Malt with you. Dulls the pain. As to the football, it's quite simple - Boro MUST wi...
@martin-bellamy - It must be such a hardship for you to have to stay there... But not feeling well won't help. I think many of us have had a virus ...
The UK mainlaind's most westerly point, if I remember correctly. Enjoy your time there. I think the weather should be good and hopefully it will be ...
@powmillnaemore - I would hope, if the plan IS to put Dael Fry up front, to include him playing there in some practice sessions first. That would be m...
