@original-fat-bob hard to believe that really happened, who should be in the punishment battalion then? The players, the management or both? Really ...
I know everyone is criticising Boro's defence, note the small 'd', but do we actually have a defence to criticise? It's if they are away painting 'de ...
I'm staying in the dark behind the couch... a bit like the Boro defence? UTB, John
I've just read an article in the Gazette, sorry Teeside Live, and it is a re-hash of everything that has been written on this blog over the last few m...
Selwynoz, Thanks for an enjoyable and pragmatic headliner, it nicely summed up Boro's position and situation. When it comes comes to making things dif...
Morning all. Well, unpredictable Boro are now officially becoming totally predictable. Opposition managers and coaches, whether we consider them p...
@exmil I agree with your point of view but it seems to be short term strategy rather than the long term. I suppose part of the logic is that if the lo...
@powmillnaemore I'm with you on that one, totally underwhelming. Boro have to resurrect his career and get him scoring basically for someone else? How...
Thank you Diasboreans for your supportive comments, they are much appreciated and they help, believe me they help a lot. I took Lucie, the Jack Russe...
A grim grey and wet day in West Norfolk and I can feel the black dog just out of sight stalking around somewhere close, a feeling probably brought on ...
OFB, A truthful and enjoyable starter that's clearer than anything written in the Gazette about where Boro are, and it's simply honest and succinctly ...
Opposition coaches/managers must all now know the tactics, defend well and keep the pressure on and Boro will present us with a couple of opportunitie...
Martin, That is a fine starter and as others have said Dave's little contribution puts a new slant and context on a preview. Well done, both of you!...
Apparently Arsenal are looking for a striker and in my wildest dreams I can't help wondering if they won't arrive with a bid for LL. I know, a slightl...
Powmill, I'm in complete agreement with your quite restrained comments about Boro and where they are at. The only people with any fire in their bell...
@k-p-in-spain A very interesting team selection there and here's hoping some of the new names get run on the pitch. A new Centre forward, will he beco...
@chris-from-barlby I'm sorry but I took a more radical view of Alexa interfering. I'm sure after days or months of interfering that shat she can still...
Hollow whispers in lots of marble halls it would seem. None of them making sense but merely adding fuel to the debate. Football is bizarre, truly biz...
Werder, A great starter that has just cheered up and made a grey and cold January day brighter. Thank you. The business of no replays in the cup has...
@martin-bellamy Get yourself sorted as soon as you are able and take care of yourself. All the best, John
Fortress Riverside? In your dreams, Boro are undone by their home form, at home we are poor. But it is the Boro so what do we expect? UTB, John
Martin thank you for an interesting starter and the memory of the 'Pools' collector! Never mind the 'con' that was spot the ball! When I first worke...
An interesting Ben Doak development in that Liverpool have apparently told him he is not in their plans, amazingly they are happy to sell the player, ...
People have said we need to win ugly and despite all the possession it was 0-0, that along comes forgotten man. Good I'll take that anytime. Well done...
Len another great starter, really well done. I'm giving out gold stars like Christmas Quality Street for these headliners! So it's Hull City next, a...
@forever-dormo I agree with you about the sixties but I blame the other issues on anaesthetics. Well I have to blame something. Sorry it could be 'sid...
Forever Dormo, Your starter was a thorough piece of writing and a thoroughly enjoyable read after the days of small noisy children and teenagers who s...
Actually now that I have lowered the blood pressure with three(!) pints of Timothy Taylors Landlord I realise that Boro gave us a treat in showing us ...
@werdermouth That's the final Christmas gloss taken away, I know it's better to give than receive but that was taking the Mickey. Where was the discip...
@werdermouth Can that decision be appealed? UTB, John
