@allan-in-bahrain Allan, I think it was called Swarfega. Can you still buy it? Redcar Red, it was called Decosol, brilliant on everything vinyl in a...
@davidwek Welcome aboard an optimistic DiasBoro. Watch out for the 'eyes in the sky'! UTB, John
Ken, There were some post war prefabs near St Chads, Keith Road/ Emerson avenue by Saltersgill Beck that the owners didn't want to leave when demoli...
@k-p-in-spain I'd forgotten about that dead albatross... Arrgh UTB, John
The difference in the players individually and collectively since the arrival of Mr Warnock and his team is nothing short of miraculous to me. Players...
Redcar Red, Thank you for the report, excellent work. AS I have said before after last season the improvement is just massive but goals please. From...
Werder, many thanks, as always, for your leader column. The Boss and I have become riveted to the 'car crash' that is Donald Trump. Now his once sen...
Redcar Red, As always thank you for the fine report and as you correctly say 'at least we didn't get beaten', as for Britt well I still think he nee...
Werder, Thanks for the preview, yet another fine piece of work. I may be casting the runes here but I think there are grounds for groundless optimis...
Redcar Red, A veritable dissertation but I'm not complaining, a great report, another win and Mr Warnock has popped into the player store cupboard and...
@jarkko I remember seeing him play, I must have been about ten years old. A great 'Hicktonesque' penalty taker and I seem to remember him pulling out ...
Werder, thank you for highlighting some of the desperate strips that we see but they are at least cheerful, anyway since I'm feeling in the pink about...
@original-fat-bob Stay well and keep your eyes on the sky. UTB, John
@jarkko Lotus Elite Mk1 in the late 60's with a ZF Straight Cut Gearbox and a Coventry Climax Engine. Fantastic. UTB, John
Redcar Red, Thank you for the report, Coventry Climax, loved the title. Boro won again and I, for one, am delighted. Pre- Mr Warnock that was a gam...
Ken, if gravity works against you, you're in trouble so stay safe and think of it as research time. Sounds like you'll have a bit of a Heidelburg duel...
Werder, Thanks for your preview, entertaining as always, a lovely management speak opening paragraph. Here's hoping the midfield and forwards can ...
@lenmasterman I've just watched Bamford's hat-trick on Sky and two of those strikes are pure class from an intelligent and skilful player. I think w...
@grovehillwallah, It's just another level of frustration, but I'm sure all supporters would say that, I just think the Riverside crowd and atmospher...
Redcar Red, Thank you for your report and that was a game that Boro would have lost last season having taken the lead or not. Good work Mr Warnock a...
@ken I can remember being at a game, fogged memory and I can't remember who Huddersfield were playing but they won and Denis Law scored the goals. Lea...
Werder, Loved 'Warnock's dream sequence' and the 'John Hickton tribute act'. That would be a dream finding another Hickton type of player like that,...
Redcar Red, Great write-up, great result and what seems a great all-round display. Boro against the rest seems to be working. Oh, and well done Mr W...
Thanks Werder, Another great briefing and I'm going for 1 - 1 but I could see Boro nicking it. Mr Warnock continues to build his ''us against the re...
Redcar Red, thank you for your report, always a pleasure to read and although some seem disappointed with the result it could have been worse. A lot w...
Werder, thank you. A thoughtfully written piece and in the search for a replacement for 'big' perhaps 'sensible and and considered' would help. Not...
Don't forget boys 'a man with a briefcase can rob more than a man with a gun'. I think Don eHnley said that or something very similar. Do not trust th...
@ken re: Saint-Saens The family were holidaying at a site about 10 miles from Chartres and we visited the Chartres Cathedral with our two children. ...
@redcarred And to knock their teams out of the various domestic Cups. UTB, John
@werdermouth And there's the problem, wait for the transfer request. UTB, John
