I'll second that

Bob, Happy to do the lead for the Plymouth game if it's any help

Thanks Martin for your very interesting opener. As someone who is (ahem) mature to the point of decrepitude I can recall 21 of those players on your l...

Bob,, I'lm happy to fill in for the Plymouth review for 21/12/24 if that helps.

A significant watershed was the appointment of Chris Jones as Head of Recruitment. Before that it was difficult to find anything other than negative...

Bob, You weren't wrong but absolutely right Your post saying that you didn't like Azaz was obviously precisely the kick in the backside that Finn...

That 6-1 Luton game at Kenilworth Road in 1960 was indeed memorable. I was at Uni and travelled down with my best mate Dave Bingham, who many years l...

Nice one, Bob. Original, clever, funny and a very good read. I went to see the Boro play at Oxford once and it was a very weird experience. In those...

I'm afraid that I will have to take my leave of this thread as I am having an early winter break. Sadly I won't get to see the Luton game, as I will b...

@exmil Thanks exmil. It was extraordinary to see Doughty hobble back on even though so badly injured and I assume it must have been because Luton m...

Agree about Morris. My MoM too. Some great play from us at the beginning of the second half, but continued sloppiness at the back allowed them back...

We may be 0-2 up, but we are not playing nearly as well as we have done in games we have lost. Our passing is off, there is little cohesion and had i...

I have never been convinced that apostrophes are really of any great importance, but it's probably not an exaggeration to say that the future of the e...

Very good Dormo There are a couple of common problems for writers who would never dream of using the grocer's apostrophe. The first is the use of ...

A lovely piece, Jarrko. Very well-written, interesting and entertaining. And very sensible on the Boro's current situation. I remember the Arsenal g...

Nightmare half for Boro and Hackney in particular. Even before his sending off Hackney almost let Coventry in three times in the first 12 minutes as ...

@forever-dormo One of my favourite cryptic crossword clues: "He saw himself as winning on the pools" (9)

btw I had thought that the polls running level in the US election presaged a Trump win analogous to the Brexit referendum with large numbers somewhat ...

@forever-dormo With the greatest respect, Dormo, I really don't think there is any comparison to be made between Trump and Harris in terms of their...

We drew 6-6 at Charlton in the early 60s, our defence letting in goals as fast as Cloughie was scoring them at the other end. There was another rema...

@mw-in-darwin Edmundson appeared to pull his man back as he was breaking through when he was already on a yellow. It might well have been penalised...

Boro brilliant after a very uncertain start. Once we got our passing game going we were much the better side. Doke causing all kinds of problems and h...

An excellent opener Powmill, and I agree with your sentiments. Latte Lath really came good as our mainline striker at the end of last season, but ea...

I'm pushed for time today, but I do want to say how much I enjoyed Clive's typically well-written polemical piece which did exactly what he would have...

Werder, belated thanks for a typically well-written opener, and best wishes to KP, Bob and exmil for speedy recoveries. Yet another international br...

Best wishes KP. I hope it all goes well

Great news exmil and I agree with you about both the Boro and life. We played really well at Watford- played them off the park for most of the game-...

A very interesting and comprehensive piece of research, Selwyn, matching the high quality of your previous openers .It's a fascinating and original co...

@powmillnaemore Thanks for the retrieval powmill. Much appreciated
