It’s been a disappointing end of the season in most of my sporting interests. Firstly Yorkshire CCC have made a pig’s ear of their recruitment of fore...
Boro need wins, so conceding so late yesterday doesn’t really concern me too much. I have always hated draws since the advent of 3 points for a win. B...
Sorry to be pedantic, but it was Dundee United that lost 0-9 to Celtic.
Sorry Andy. I agree with you, hate is too strong a word and I apologise for using it, but I have a loving respect for all the clubs that all my ex Nat...
Why this trend to hate our neighbouring football clubs? Is this a form of jealousy or schadenfreude? The sooner that Boro and Sunderland join Newcastl...
I must say that I was disappointed that Middlesbrough FC decided to adopt the trend of a minute’s applause for David Armstrong when a minute’s silence...
An excellent review of Saturday’s match from Andy and also a preview of tomorrow’s clash with Watford. A lot of content too. Not a lot can be taken fr...
I’m still in cricket mode and will be until the second week in September as England still have a chance of finishing this season on a high. What an am...
I think that we must give Chris Wilder credit for his tactics yesterday. Maybe not the most fluent of performances, but this team is a work in progres...
Having been starved of watching Boro for 18 months during my National Service days, as a consolation whilst stationed at RAF Padgate I watched First D...
Just written a blog about tomorrow’s match but it won’t post. Can it be saved?
I hope that I didn’t give the impression that It’s somehow posh to employ a cleaner, but it’s out of necessity in my case as I can’t stand for long pe...
After being without a cleaner for ten weeks my next door who was in the same boat as me managed to find one and recommended her to me. She introduced ...
I sometimes smile when I hear football managers, players and analysts talk about pressure when in fact it’s only a game. The most ridiculous statement...
They say that the League table never lies, but in reality there isn’t a league table yet. It’s completely irrelevant at the moment. There have been mu...
Alan Shearer was discussing the difference between strikers and centre forwards who of course wear the number 9 shirt. It’s the pride and passion of w...
As this is the 30th anniversary of the Premier League I thought I’d delve into history to ascertain the final league positions:- 1 Man. Utd 84. ...
I know that this probably goes against the grain for 99% of Boro supporters but I’m pleased to see Leeds United, Sunderland and Newcastle doing so wel...
Talking of age, when I read about footballers like Rodrigo Muniz being born in the 21st century it’s hard to believe that we were celebrating the new ...
So sad to hear of Spike’s demise at the early age of 67. Sincere condolences to his family as I know only too well what it’s like to lose a loved one ...
Boro have no divine right to beat any side and the sooner they realise that the better. When I saw photographs of the players pre match with some of t...
What’s more Curtis Main (remember him?) has put St Mirren ahead away to Dundee United.
If one believes in lucky opponents for managers then today’s is a certain win for Chris Wilder as his teams have a 100% record against Reading with 6 ...
There used to be a saying that a good referee is one you never notice. In fact the term ‘referee’ suggests that he/she is somebody to refer to if capt...
That was arguably Andy’s best opener yet, and describes perfectly the season up to date. I sympathise with David in Cumbria, especially how some o...
As an aside I’m pleased that Middlesbrough FC are to erect a statue of George Camsell at the Riverside in September. Of course nobody alive today has ...
Believe it when I see it! Is Larsen our first choice acquisition or indeed our 21st?
Stoke City were by a country mile the worst team Boro have met this season, so are Boro becoming too confident or complacent? There’s a time to go for...
Well not in my lifetime although in 1966 whist in Division 3 Boro having won at Colchester in the first match of the season accumulated only one more ...
