exMil My experience tells me that expect the worse and you’ll never be disappointed. But that doesn’t mean it’s all doom and gloom. Boro are just as...
I hope you’re right Martin, but Boro’s bogey team Barnsley are next where we’ve only won twice in the last 13 encounters. Win tonight and I think ther...
I agree with Jarkko that Dael Fry has had a good season so far, but Sol Bamba is 2 inches taller than Dael and has more experience, and only an inch s...
As an afterthought I’d be happier to recall Sol Bamba in defence instead of Dael Fry.
As I’ve mentioned before Boro have only won more than 6 home wins in a row 3 times since the Second World War and I don’t think this will be the 4th. ...
I recently reported how Crystal Palace and their fans paid for the use of coaches for Hartlepool’s fans for their recent FA Cup tie and also had a whi...
As ever it is Boro’s away form that lets them down. The latest match statistics show them 12th in the table but 15th in the number of away goals score...
Only Fulham have scored more than the 18 goals that Bristol City have accumulated over the last 10 league matches. However during that period the Robi...
Bristol City’s most famous player was John Atyeo who scored 30 goals in the 1955/56 season. That was during their Second Division days when he also wo...
Jarkko I can’t take too much credit for remembering the places I have visited as I always recorded the names of streets, districts, etc from maps at...
Jarkko Interesting to read your blog yesterday on the mention of Redcar in a Finnish newspaper. I suppose the main features of the town are the Rac...

Who would be a football pundit? David Prutton is Sky’s pundit on Championship matches yet his overall forecasts show a less than 50% accuracy. For th...
Most football fans are suddenly getting excited about the Championship, and quite rightly so. From being a dreary league with a poor standard of footb...
Kes of course are my initials Edward being my middle name. And for anyone who worked in the DVLA before the current changes were made will tell you it...
I think that David Moyes made an error of judgment in selecting Kurt Zouma for the recent home match against Watford after the furore on social media ...
I’ve learnt my lesson on being too enthusiastic about my favourite sports teams ever since Cas Tigers won the Rugby League Championship by 10 points i...
I didn’t know that Harrogate Town were called the Sulphurites. I know where the fans are coming from, but “Come on you Sulphurites “ doesn’t sound com...
Several hundred empty beer cans being thrown on the green seems to be the craze in the USA to celebrate a hole in one. Carlos Ortiz hit by one as he p...
I’m pleased that Chris Wilder is not getting carried away, unlike some of our fans. Admittedly it has been a good week to be a Boro fan, but one game ...
By the way I had one disappointment last night with my favourite Super League team Castleford Tigers losing at home to Salford 16-26 in their first ga...
One more statistic to gladden the hearts of Boro supporters? Scoring first this afternoon is almost a foregone conclusion of a Boro win as Derby hav...
When people used to ask me how old I was I used to say 21 and a bit. Well I quadrupled that age last month and had actually forgotten my birthday unti...
Boro have won more matches 39 at home to Derby County and scored more goals 142 than they have against any of the other 95 clubs they have met, but th...
I neither saw last night’s match nor listened to it, so my judgement is based on the recorded highlights I saw this morning. So why are goalkeepers ca...
Not unlucky, but as ever wasteful. Were Man Utd unlucky not to score more goals on Friday? Same verdict from me - no, wasteful!
