The big greedy Premiership clubs have some nerve, Manchester City man saying German Teams buy youngsters from them and sell them back for ten tomes th...
Redcar Red, hank you for the report, we won. A collector's piece, a rare Boro home victory and I got my prediction correct. That's about as rare as ...
Werder, many thanks for your leader. It definitely provided a few smiles although is Mr Trump's infection fake news or for sympathy? Right, score pr...
@ken It's Mendelssohn's Octet for me, absolutely wonderful piece of work. Stay safe, John
Redcar Red, Thank you for the report a good read with the morning cup of tea and signs of hope are beginning to show. Grounds for optimism? I hope s...
Werder, A fine introduction, thank you, and as for the result I'm going for an OFB on steroids. It'll be 2 - 2 in a sterile and empty stadium. It's al...
Thank you Werder, I reckon you've summed that up nicely and I'm going for 1 - 3. I just do not see a win and an OFB would be an achievement at the the...
OFB, Great to hear you are better and you've lost five stone. Well done. Does OFB become OTB as in Old Thin Bob? No doubt there will be other sugges...
The cunning plan looks a bit Baldrick at the moment but as Mr Warnock said we're not going to win it, The League Cup or whatever it's called, so let's...
Andy R, I'm with you, play the same structure, well unless we just have a team of full backs or creative midfielders. I thought not, but a win would...
@grovehillwallah They look like they're pretending to be dazzle-painted warships. UTB, John
Werder, The Red Trousers fair cracked me up. We see quite a lot in North Norfolk. UTB, John
Well, not what we expected but we won. As, and I paraphrase Mr Clough, if they score three we'll score four. I bet Newcastle were pleased they weren't...
@original-fat-bob Somewhat exciting OFB, in fact, unbelievable. Right, I'm off to a cool, dark place already and the season hasn't started. UTB,...
Werder, Lovely 'it could cause a fight with a Newcastle supporter in a pub' in your second paragraph. that made me smile. I'm with Ken's predictiv...
While I was walking the two terriers in the biblically pouring rain earlier today I started thinking about Mr Warnock's recruitme tactics, well his ps...
@werdermouth You are absolutely right but I have to travel hopefully, no doubt there are odd gems and nuggets to be found and the Northern Echo trie...
@lenmasterman Len, You did well to find them, I'll have another look as a follow-up to my first attempt. My opinion, for what it's worth, is that ...
@original-fat-bob Didn't the EG move into a new building very recently? The trouble with local newspapers is that they are group corporate not local...
Serious loss for the gazette and Boro coverage, I wish him and his family well whatever path he chooses to follow. The Evening Gazette is now offici...
I reckon he'll only play in cup games and come on in the last five minutes minutes if we are losing, 'to change the game' as we football professors sa...
@werdermouth I agree about the young and hungry bit but Boro get them and they're young but not so hungry. Alright I'm a cynic. UTB John
@exmil Amazing, I did not expect that. Total Surprise. Who's next? UTB, John
I feel quite calm about all the transfer speculation most of it is for clicks on websites and traffic numbers. Mr Warnock may get a golden season from...
@lenmasterman As I said in a recent post sometimes the answer is under your nose but how do you get the best out of the player? A kick up the arse or...
You know what they say, 'a man with a briefcase can rob you for more than a man with gun'. No doubt the Football league will drop on them hard and hea...
Selwynoz, It could well be that there a couple of answers right under the clubs collective nose, I certainly hope so. I must say that I am sick of all...
Good luck and an injury free future to George, a true professional in every sense of the word; on the pitch, off the pitch and he embraced Teesside to...
@redcarred I agree about Marcus Maddison. Mr Warnock is one of those man managers that could be the making of Maddison, like you I feel that as free i...
@original-fat-bob 50 more years of supporting Boro? I'd be a shadow of my former self. Mind you the Boss is from Newcastle... UTB, John
