Our three centre backs were the foundation for this win and a rare clean sheet. Clarke was an absolute rock, RvDB produced a match saving tackle with ...

@john-richardson John I'm just recovering from a cataract operation last week. It has gone well but the drops were a bit of a problem. I should h...

@jarkko Kings Park Rangers. A silly joke. One reference was probably too many.

Nice one, deleriad. An original approach from a creative mind. Looking at the Boro XI for the first KPR game I was reminded of how Engel was skinned...

Half time scoreline: Sheffield United 0 Arsenal 5 I wonder what Chris Wilder will be saying to his lads at the break: "You useless lot haven't...

Very enjoyable, Clive. Your distinctive voice comes though in everything you write, and we need that positivity, albeit undermined by a natural Boro s...

No pressure, Clive

@k-p-in-spain Have a good one, KP

Only Clarke and VDB were worthy of the shirt today. Latte lath had a reasonable first half As far as I am concerned they can clear the rest out at t...

@forever-dormo I believe that Dinner for One is played as a tradition around Christmas every year in many European countries and even in South Afri...

@forever-dormo "Abstention" (from drink) would do equally well, but I admire your punctiliousness. I gave a silent cheer for your earlier reference...

@martin-bellamy Indeed, Martin. It amounts to depressingly conclusive evidence that any failure to reach the play-offs would only be a case of disa...

I think that is the right decision, exmil. Thanks for all of your curating work on your challenge. Maybe next season... Lovely intro, Martin, whic...

Brilliant post, Peter. Intelligent and witty. Sums up all of the conflicting hopes, fears and aspirations of this thread and the remainder of the se...

@k-p-in-spain KP, you inspired me to have a go at this, and much to my astonishment, given my scepticism about the Boro's chances of making the pla...

Much as I have enjoyed Selwyn and Werder's deep dives into probability theory, my personal preference has been to assume that we won't be either promo...

Excellent opener, Selwyn. As with your Southampton piece, very well structured, thorough and interesting. It is the controlling intelligence and ori...

Great defensive performance with pace on the break saw us through. RVDB M-o-M for me (what a player) with O'Brien and Silvera giving their best perfor...

@exmil Sorry to dent your theory but Mr Allison did not deny us a penalty at Preston . That was a Mr Harrington. Allison reffed the Bristol City g...

Thanks Powmill for a brilliantly researched, well-written and comprehensive opener. I really enjoyed it and appreciated all of the time and dedicatio...

Great post Dormo. I liked the way that most of the answers are implicit in the questions that you raised. They are precisely the kind of questions t...

Happy Birthday, Bob. Have a good one

@pedro Thanks for posting, Pedro. Really interesting. Hull's problem is that they may well make the play-offs, but even they cannot compete with ...

Thanks Andy, excellent post.

@original-fat-bob You make a really great point on the role of Danks in the Rogers saga. He was obviously a key figure in signing the lad, as wel...

Inspired openers, Clive. Two for the price of one. Both excellent. Thanks for all of your hard work. Bob, hope you are both back in full voice soon

@deleriad Good spot. Geubell'e record of 4 Goals in 47 appearances means that his promo tape is full of clips showing him not scoring. It's 18 ...

@peter-surtees Lovely documentary, Peter. You can see that the child is father of the man. Also enjoyed the Mannion piece which accompanies it. ...

@deleriad Correct of course, but I prefer the old spelling of Canute. The revised version always reminds me of that dreadful French Connection logo
