Boro’s record at Swansea is quite appalling; indeed Boro only won twice there in their first 13 league visits. But why should previous encounters have...
As usual some Boro fans are getting ahead of themselves. Still 11 more matches to play for all 24 clubs, that’s almost a quarter of the season remaini...
Like Michael Carrick I don’t even look at league tables at the moment, but will have a peek after Easter, the speculation is too much of a distraction...
I’m not too fussed on what the Blades might do during the rest of the season as unless Boro win all their remaining matches this season automatic prom...
We can but dream, but Boro too are likely to drop points as well. Finishing 3rd or 4th are of equal importance as the second leg would be at the Rive...
After watching football, cricket and rugby league this year I decided to watch golf for the first time in months. Wasn’t I glad that I did because Kur...
Wow!!! Liverpool 7 Man United 0. This equal’s United’s heaviest defeat ever by Blackburn Rovers in 1926, by Aston Villa in 1930, and by Wolves in Div...
Though the official records show that John Hickton converted 28 penalties for Boro, Grant Leadbitter 12, Lindy Delapenha and Micky Fenton 10 each, Jac...
Not convinced about Forrs penalty either. But even George Camsell declined taking them also. The best Boro penalty takers in my lifetime have been Lin...
The following is really a religious hymn, though I have altered the words as praise for the football team I have supported from childhood. It goes som...
Just 4 things that I discovered after today’s walloping of Reading. 1. Boro’s goal difference is now plus 21 against the Blades plus 24. 2. Boro’s...
Not only is Saturday’s match a potential ‘banana skin’ but a draw or a defeat could even put more pressure on Boro next week at the Liberty Stadium. ...
I probably should have more sense than to write a blog at 5.00am considering my health problems, but I felt wide awake and just had to describe what h...
That was the most compelling Test match I’ve ever witnessed. One advantage to being a ‘night owl’ is sleeping during the afternoon but staying up unti...
I always thought it unlikely that Boro would overtake the Blades and we have to start again on a winning run to remain in a playoff position. It’s not...
We’re now well into our first week of Lent when Christians give something up until Easter. Well I once more wasn’t able to follow the Boro after anoth...
Like me Michael Carrick doesn’t look at League tables, just carry on Boro accumulating as many points as you can. No concern about what other clubs ar...
Once again Harry Brook 184 not out and Joe Root 101 not out have placed England into a winning start from a disastrous position of 21 for 3 to a close...
I think Boro are doing a disservice to Chuba Akpom in listing Boro players who have NOT scored 20 league goals in a season. Its list includes players ...
@ Jarkko And Boro did the same when in the Third Division in season 1966/67 when Stan Anderson was the manager. After opening the season with a 3-2 ...
So sorry to hear of the death of John Motson, and deep and sincere condolences to his family and friends at this sad time. He was my favourite footbal...
Despite Boro’s great recent form, there must be some concern about the number of possible suspensions especially in the final run-in. I’d still take t...
Amazingly at the age of 40 Jimmy Anderson has returned to the top of the Test Cricket bowling standings. I’m not sure whether the ‘Burnley Express’ is...
Boro throughout their history have generally had a player who could guarantee to score at least 20 league goals in a season, though most of them playe...
@forever dormo pardon me! My hair isn’t sllver, it’s golden! Just kidding! By the way, I once saw Mike Dunn play an exhibition match against Ra...
I can’t understand why some fans get nervous and frustrated when Boro don’t score early. Take a leaf out of Michael Carrick who shows calmness personi...
Just to put the historical records up to date, it was anticipated that when the Boro were appointed to be admitted to the Second Division of the Footb...
What a contrasting sort of day I have endured today from football and cricket to Rugby League and eventually to my favourite channnel of Sky Arts wher...
Well unfortunately Cas lost 30-32 but after 60 minutes play were actually 6-32 behind and almost scored a last minute try which would have rounded off...
I don’t worry about the Boro, and that’s why I shan’t look again at League tables again until Easter. Boro have made a habit of scoring late goals und...
