An absolute belter, Werder. Congratulations and many thanks.

The reports that Rogers is Emre's top choice for a winger to strengthen his attack caught me completely by surprise. The biggest shock on this front s...

@andy-r "Give Forss a go", seems to be the dominant theme amongst supporters at the moment, and you put the case very succinctly. We may not have...

A good win against a Millwall side whom I have rarely seen play better football. In the first half their energy and creativity swept us off our feet f...

Do you know what you get when you cross a mafioso with a postmodernist? An offer that you can't understand

Thanks for the kind comments. But can I beg everyone please to keep it in the family.

Of course Millwall are a family friendly club. So were the Cosa Nostra. Family values were central to their code. And the Krays absolutely idolise...

Thanks Clive for a well written, informative, and thoroughly enjoyable piece. If the Boro can attain the same level of quality under pressure for thei...

Liverpool 0 Fulham 1 after 20 mins I'm a socially tolerant fellow, but I never thought I would ever find myself yelling "Come on you Cottagers" in m...

Great night, wonderful performance and we achieved exactly what most of us hoped for but feared might be beyond us, given our injuries. That we won ...

A terrific opener, Clive. You were absolutely the right man for this game as the tone of your piece reflects quite brilliantly what the vast majorit...

@malcolm Or as PG Wodehouse once said,"You wouldn't confuse a Scotsman with a grievance with a ray of sunshine".

Extract from Northern Echo on the signing of Azaz: The Boro move progressed quickly this week - but it's a signing that's been 12 months in the maki...

Just been pondering the Boro's chances against Villa tomorrow. My reveries took me back to a domestic scene played out earlier this week. But firs...

No posts for 13hrs. Just checking to see if the blog is still running

@clive-hurren Not poor taste, Clive, just an unfortunate coincidence. No apology necessary in my view, but appreciated nevertheless.

I'm optimistic about the signing of Azaz simply on the grounds of its bearing the imprimatur of Danks and Carrick rather than Scott and the stats boys...

Welcome back to the leader slot, Werder. Opening it up to a range of contributors has been a great success, but you have also been missed, and you hav...

@peasepudinperth I agree with you, Pud, but ,as Pedro says, the problem we have is that with our Aussies and Dieng being added to an already longer...

Dedicated to all of us codgers who think we can still do better than the professionals.

A typical Andy opener: very well written, comprehensive coverage of the next game, and full of good sense and sound judgment. You would be hard put to...

Huddersfield 0 Boro 2 (Greenwood, McGree)

A brilliantly constructed and well-written opener Selwyn and your referencing of the two clubs' past glory days provides a very interesting historical...

This was the performance we all feared might happen last Saturday. The brilliant and somewhat unexpected win against West Brom allayed the justifiabl...

Thanks to everyone on this splendid blog for making it required daily reading for me throughout the year A special thanks to all of the leader write...

A really lovely festive opener powmill. I loved it

Thanks Bob. An opener that was both entertaining and very informative. Many seem to think that West Brom are nailed on for the 5th spot with a large...

I don't know whether big Uche will get a run out tonight, but if he does he'll be smacking his lips at the prospect of playing against our two young c...

Thanks Bob. Great opener and very enjoyable

@forever-dormo The glass half-full reason why Hull were so ineffective was down to our dominance ,particularly in the first half. As I said, we pla...
