Adam Curtis's new series Shifty, taking us from the Thatcher era to now, is available on BBC i Player this week. It's the only thing worth watching a...
So we await Steve Gibson's decision from a short list- an exceedingly short list - of one. After weeks of background research, data analysis and due ...
@martin-bellamy Lovely post, Martin, and a measure of you as a man. My favourite quote on football was Bobby Robson's, "If the result is more impor...
Rob Edwards speaking about his "philosophy" at Luton: "We actually enjoyed the defending side of the game: the blocks, the headers, clearing the bo...
Good interview, Bob, very enjoyable, and since Today is my favourite programme and worth the license fee alone, I wouldn't have minded an interview wi...
A short list of three. One who might well cost an arm and a leg, a second who was reported in the Gazette only a week ago as having no interest in th...
The source I've seen on the Terry story says that following the sacking of Tony Pulis, Terry,who is assistant coach to Dean Smith at Aston Villa, is b...
@pedro Good post ,Pedro. "If the above does come to pass, then Mr Gibson, Scott, Jones and Bauser will have to take the blame this time." I thi...
@pedro The issue for me ,Pedro, issn't so much with the criticisms being made of Carrick, some of which are reasonable, even though I would argue a...
@philip-of-huddersfield I don't think Dyche would want to touch the job if it meant working under Scott. He's too old school and would want to have...
Agree with you all. It's looking pretty shambolic. I don't think Scott will be looking past his mate and there is certainly no indication that the rec...
I gather that Woodgate took the Boro U13s to an international tournament in Croatia Anyway the Boro lads won it without losing a game and Woody retu...
@original-fat-bob Are you in a position now to enlighten us about the split you mentioned a few weeks ago ?
I see that Edwards is now 8/13 fav So loads of puffery from the local journos this week. I could write it myself in 5 minutes
On to the second topic of this thread: Replacement. I wouldn't back Dyche, the bookies' staunch favourite, with someone else's money. Dyche is an ...
@werdermouth Good post
@paulinboro Carrick did want Giles. And didn't Scott let the world know via Craig Johns that if the move did not work out then it would be the co...

Great post Andy. I'm disgusted. And I predict a relegation battle given the players we lose, the next job lots to arrive en masse by September, an...
@martin-bellamy Martin You can bank on the fact that your Mum and Dad met at 'The Bungalow' as it was known. It was a favourite destination fo...
Great story, sir
Article in the Gazette on Tony Mowbray's thoughts about the Boro. Interesting in that he breaks with the dominant agenda that coaching has been the pr...
Really good post, Rich.
Steve Gibson came in for so much criticism when he opened up about his ambition to "smash the league" following our relegation under Karanka and the b...
"Tea lady" ? That sounds very quaint to me . Surely the days of Gladys,Edie, Marge and Lil were numbered when the move from Ayresome Park meant tha...
