Boro’s overall record at Stoke is not all that good with only 11 wins and 27 defeats in 48 matches, but their biggest win at the Potteries was 5-2 at ...

As a keen crossword addict and Countdown fan, is OMICRON really a MORONIC pandemic?
I half expected that the test match might have been over by this morning, so must eat humble pie. A terrific comeback from Joe Root and Dawid Malan. A...
A welcome 3 points for Hartlepools last night. I was glued to Flashscores and had almost given up on a win as extra time beckoned. What a sad life I l...
Outplayed in all forms of cricket, catching, fielding, bowing and batting, I can see another Aussie whitewash. The Brisbane Test is always the test ma...
A nice ‘Welcome home Dazzler ‘ on the Yorkshire CCC website this morning recapturing Goughie’s career. Our friends over the Pennines might have had ‘F...
Whilst writing about the weather which is a subject high on the list of a conversation-starter amongst Brits, I always look at photos taken by Teessid...
Not a bit surprised to wake up this morning to find that England had made such a poor start to the Ashes series. In almost English-like overcast cond...
Regarding the FA Cup meeting with Mansfield in the FA Cup, Boro have twice played the Stags away losing 0-2 in the 3rd Round in 1967 when Boro spent...
Graeme Lee almost got his wish as the FA Cup draw had Boro and Pools in consecutive ties drawn yesterday. I’m assuming that whoever picked the away si...
How can Neil Warnock call Boro classless? His press interviews may have been humorous, but his ranting and raving on the pitch was classless in my opi...
Hopefully this week’s announcement by Yorkshire CCC of former England fast bowler Darren Gough as Director of Cricket will be the renaissance of the c...
Bloomin’ heck, my shingles has reappeared. I thought I was over it and started drinking coffee and wine again - big mistake! Also must now cut out ca...
OFB Blimey that’s when minus 40 Fahrenheit is on a par with minus 40 Centigrade or Celsius.
I’m pleased that Boro and Swansea supporters joined in the 6th minute applause for 6 year old Arthur Lobinjo-Hughes. How anyone can abuse and mistreat...
Now let’s not get carried away. Swansea deserved a point and some might argue all three. So all in all 7 points from Wilder’s first 4 matches might no...
I forgot to mention that Isiah Jones is the 11th different Boro player to score this season, although I recall 19 different goalscorers in the 2017/18...
Great win from Boro yesterday, I thrive on these tight finishes, they really get my adrenaline going. Am I unusual but much prefer single goal wins th...

Werder But Boro are no different to the majority of teams in the Championship with several goalless draws recently. At least 11 different players ha...
What a lovely idea, Martin. My skills too are on the artistic side. I made a couple of frames of different coloured Portuguese sugar bags one gets wit...
So onto Swansea at home this weekend. Boro beat them 2-1 at home last season when the Swans were arguably a better team than this season. Boro’s recen...
Love him or hate him but one has to admire Christiano Ronaldo. To score 800 goals in top level football is unlikely to be beaten. I know that Pele is ...
Forever Dormo Thanks for your wise thoughts which I agree with on most points, but do enjoy T20 cricket also. My brother doesn’t think it’s cricket...
The first cricket match that I can remember was at Brisbane in December 1946. All that I can recall from it was the controversy reported on the radio ...
@ John Richardson I too am familiar with Chartes, as I believe is Martin Bellamy. It was a stopping point from our return home from the Algarve in ...
The Ashes series starts a week today with England undercooked and frustrated having played only 29 overs in their warm-up matches. Still concerns over...
It’s now confirmed that Graeme Lee (Boro’s U23 coach and a former Pools player) has been appointed manager of Hartlepool United. Also that Sol Bamba i...
