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...
I agree with Michael Carrick. I thought we played well against Hull. To call this a minority view would amount to self-flattery. As far as I an aw...
Diolch yn fawr Powmill for a very well written and researched piece which provided everything one might need to contextualise Saturday's game.
@jarkko You might try a large dollop of Philogene for your back. Hope it's better soon
No disrespect intended, but Philogene does sound like something you might rub onto a dodgy knee. Thanks Dormo for a typically well-informed and ente...
Very enjoyable piece, deleriad, with an astute follow up on the similarities between Ipswich's and our own set-up last season. We do know something,...
@clive-hurren Belated thanks for your splendid opener, Clive. Very well written in your individual tone of voice, and with very interesting content...
Great read and an original and imaginative approach, Martin. There is a lot there. Thanks too to Dave who seems a very good man and a good friend to h...
I may as well use my match preview earlier this week as today's post-mortem: "We were by far the better team last season but threw away the three po...
@forever-dormo Sorry, Dormo, but in what sense is 1-3 a lazy prediction? I've spent the best part of a week calculating and assessing that s...
Thanks Andy for a very interesting and informative piece. We were by far the better team last season but threw away the three points with some woefu...
