@powmillnaemore Thanks Powmill, the visit was put in place in February to spread mum-in-laws ashes near Bamburgh, it's quite amazing the way 'coinc...
A friend with a Norwich season ticket has offered me a trip to Carrow Road tomorrow in the next seat to his. Sadly we'll be away up in Northumberland ...
@original-fat-bob Excellent! UTB, John
As Jarkko says, a supersub indeed! As you say put I'd LL on after fifty minutes or a bit later to stretch and pull their defence unless we are winning...
@k-p-in-spain Good to hear your news and that Exmil managed to get there and see a win. OFB I hope you continue to improve take it easy until they get...
I feel better for reading that gentle and subtle opinion of Wilder. I completely agree with all you said about the hypocrite. Now I feel better too, t...
@original-fat-bob Sorry to hear about your electrical problems, Diasboro's casualty list seems to be growing apace, let's hope you are back on the gra...
Some hard choices for Carrick. LL needs to prove he's not a one season wonder, so we can sell him. The coaches need to find a way to stop themselves...
This getting to be like my mum's favourite Boro -ism. Good on paper but rubbish on grass. What is possession really worth, I think Boro have had 60plu...
@peter-surtees there are times when Boro are like Marley's Ghost or would it be any one of M R James' stories? OFB and k-p-in Spain. Get well and so...
Werdermouth, Excellent starter and as Pedro de Espana says, you can dress anything up with stats but I rather think that we're beyond being blinded ...
Exmil and KP, Make sure you listen to those nurses. A very senior nurse who only worked on the nightshift gave me a mighty hug when I was leavingl t...
@original-fat-bob Years ago when I had my (first) knee replaced I went to see Boro play Chelsea and I have to say they were brilliant with me, a lif...
KP, The supporters are with you. Get yourself sorted, get well and look after yourself. We're all with you. ATB and UTB, John
@exmil Well done on the getting home front. As my consultant told me, 'when you feel tired, or knackered as he put it, stop and have rest it's just y...
@boroexile I agree with everything you say, however the profile that "any team can beat any other' needs to be adjusted for Boro. Their problem is, ...
@powmillnaemore I would imagine he's only just out of the ICU, the operation could have been up to six hours long and is, I would imagine a Thorace...
Crikey Selwynoz, yet more superb scholarship to start the ball rolling towards the Watford game. Exceptional work and research as all of the lead arti...
Quite a few of the pegs seem to have slotted into the right holes and what a difference. Are Boro approaching a settled team/squad at last? I just hop...
@martin-bellamy Sometimes Boro have reminded me more of Monty Python's Philosophers XI with their slow meditative play! Powmill, great stuff and tha...
Come on OFB, just one more. Don't be greedy John. UTB, John
Exmil, I'll be thinking of you and rooting for you. Stay positive and get well, I've got my quarterly review next month so to some extent we're comrad...
@original-fat-bob I'm still behind the couch. Lights out too! Is it dark in your cave? UTB, John
Jarkko, Thanks for the wonderful and encyclopaedic opener. Excellent. I think Boro have to win this one so I'll have to consult the Marton Oracle fo...
Bizarrely Boro don't seem to have the answers to the questions they pose themselve, after all the packed defences are because of the way Boro play and...
@powmillnaemore Spot-on Powmill. We don't learn from our experiences or mistakes and we all know where that leads to. I just don't understand. Is...
Forever Dormo, That is a great headliner. Very engaging and interesting. I hope you enjoy your Swaledale break, I've enjoyed many hours fly fishing ...
@werdermouth That sums up a disappointing result nicely. UTB, John
Looking up from the Perishers rock pool I see a score beloved and favoured by the Marton Oracle. 3 - 0, there, that's knackered it, me prophesising a ...
@werdermouth Bloody hell Werder, I would have been like Mr T in that television series. Don't you love it when a plan doesn't come together? So much f...
