@john-richardson. I had one knitted for me by my gran. It had a footballer on it kicking a ball. 😎
@john-richardson. Sadly John I am of that age who remembers George Dixon all too well. Or, as a more recent copper said “mind how you go”. 😎
@clive-hurren. I have total sympathy with you and other travelling fans, both Boro et al but sadly money talks and in particular TV money. Consid...
@exmil. Do you do room sharing? 😉😎
Thanks OFB for another informative and thought provoking read. Well what to do about the Boro after a close shave on Tuesday and a number of disgrun...
@original-fat-bob. Just seen it on EFL highlights and two players clearly offside! No VAR just when we needed it. Needs to be introduced at Champ...
@original-fat-bob. Really disappointed to hear that OFB. I assumed everyone at the Riverside, barring the opposition personnel and supporters, woul...
@pedro. I hadn’t picked up on the Howson/Hackney situation you mention. I was under the impression that when one of them pushed forward then the oth...
Well not the result we had all been hoping for and had it not been for two excellent reflex saves from Steffen late on and the luck of not conceding a...
@paulinboro. I know where you are coming from but take heart from the fact that this team is much different and vastly better than its recent predece...
Thanks Andy, another great opener and based on the stats and recent form Stoke will be no pushover. That being said they are a mid table side who ...
Just realised that our win on Saturday took us to 63 points and safe from relegation! 😉😎
@pedro. I think it was all about ensuring we maintained the balance across the team. It was not surprising that Howson was blowing given the amou...
@original-fat-bob. I very much enjoy the blog and the fact that we all have a common interest. It doesn’t bother me if other topics are discussed, ...
Great result for Sunderland and us beating Norwich 0-1 at Carrow Road. Fingers crossed they do the same at home on Wednesday against the blades. 😎
I have to confess that at half time yesterday I was beginning to fear that it was going to turn out as one of those days where however hard you try yo...
OFB. Just wanted to say I love your forecasting! 😉😊😎
1-2 get in!! Archer. 😎
Get in 1-1 Ramsey. Looked as if chance had gone but bit of a ricochet to him enabled him to get a shot off. Still look suspect at the back. CoB let’...
Generally we have dominated and controlled the game but failed to take the opportunities that have been created; over elaborating and at times a lack ...
Hope this is not West Brom all over again! ☹️😎
@clive-hurren. With all the adverse weather around there is also the possibility of a fixture pile up for them if tomorrow’s game does not go ahead. ...
@powmillnaemore. I hope we are still in with a shout against Coventry as I will be visiting my brother and hoping he can get me a ticket near to wher...
@powmillnaemore. “It is so close to call at this point in time that you could even imagine second place ultimately being decided on goal difference,...
@powmillnaemore. Probably looks even nicer under a blanket of snow. 26 degrees today here in San Fulgencio 😉😎
Thanks OFB for a really informative and interesting starter. Doesn’t matter what the score is on Saturday as long as it produces 3 points for the Bo...
@john-richardson? Good to hear that the consultant is pleased with your progress but sorry to learn the chemo is still having after effects. A wi...
@original-fat-bob. Sorry to hear that you are laid up and wish you a speedy recovery. Must be a Boro supporter’s curse as I have had hacking coug...
@powmillnaemore. My wife says I am very trying! 😎
Hi Exmil, I also made a stupid mistake and put West Brom down for an away win. Any chance of amending it! 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣
