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...
Thanks for the post, Bob, and for keeping in touch. Best wishes for the future. Long may we continue to benefit from your good humour, inside knowledg...
Welcome back, Si
@gt I first heard that story some years ago told by Warnock at one of his press conferences. I rather assumed that he had been thwarted by Scott an...
@peter-surtees The story that Carrick was responsible for most of the January signings has clearly been leaked to damage him, and to exonerate othe...
Whilst I was typing the above piece, Craig Johns must have been on the receiving end of the mother and father of all rollickings. His original artic...
@werdermouth "Call me cynical but I can almost smell the briefing of Kieran Scott in this article as the finger of blame is pointed at Carrick. I n...
April 29 2025 "The player who has impressed me most over the past few games has been Jack Rudoni. He is a real force to be reckoned with as a creati...
Excellent posts above from Dormo, Jarkko, Andy and Werder. Agree 100% with Andy's assessment of the current situation. What an excellent forum this is...
"As flies to wanton boys are we to the Gods They kill us for their sport" It's a tribute to the quality of your own writing, Werder, that it doesn...
@paulinboro The question might be "Which player did we recently sign without bothering to check on his current fitness and form ?"
Disappointing, but the bigger truth is that we are a million miles away from being a Premier League team and are not even credible pretenders. Carrick...
Big game for us, a nothing game for Norwich, yet there is little to choose between the two sides. Iheanacho looks a little better, but is still largel...
@clive-hurren Clive, the way I read that was as a spontaneous response to a question at a presser. It's the kind of statement (" The predictability...
Thanks to Clive, and indeed Andy before him, for providing such excellent starters and stimuli for our current debate about the future of the club. Th...
So after Andy's Lord's Mayor Show we have another Lord's Mayor Show. Or rather an articulate rallying cry before Saturday's Great March on the Riversi...
@original-fat-bob Great to hear that you are back home, Bob. Hope the new strategy works out well for you. It's good to have you back on the blog
That's it then. Keep Carrick, appoint Mogga as Director of Football, keep Chris Jones as Head of Recruitment under Mogga's guidance. Clear out most ...
I thought that we were very poor today in every regard from team selection through substitutions right down to poor performances and awful decision ...
Agree with Clive, a poor, slapdash performance so far, even though we should be 0-2 up. Dijksteel is a liability defensively and I would go with Ped...
Congratulations Andy on a stylish and intelligent opener. In terms of both content and style it is in a different class to the journeyman prose of our...
