@werdermouth and Jarkko Amazing knowledge. Worked in Estonia for UNESCO, but knew little of all this. Certainly didn't know about the renaming o...

It's 'hear, hear" Jarkko ie listen to what is being said, though "here, here", ie I agree, here, with what is being said, is a common mistake because ...

@selwynoz One of my favourite TV shows used to be Aerobics Oz-style which I used to watch whilst reclining on a sofa. It consisted of attractive...

MW Oh, no. It seems that wherever you go in this world, you are never more than a few metres from a Boro fan. But what a tribute this thread has...

I'm greatly enjoying this thread. So is my wife. She now wants me to book a holiday in Cadiz and Jerez It's cost me a bottle of sherry. Just ...

@peter-surtees Don't worry, I got kicked out of the cubs. Deemed a disgrace to the woggle.

@eboroacum Great name. Warm welcome.

@werdermouth A lovely account, Werder. My wife agrees and is pestering me for a couple of weeks away at Pokhara. I always try to please her so a...

@jarkko I don't know about Roseberry Topping but Boro's win at Sunderland has certainly cured Cleveland ills. Anyone arguing- him a liar. Thank...

Great stuff Werder. Thanks for all of your hard work and expertise

@original-fat-bob Thanks Bob. If you are able to pass on the number of Ken's relative to Dr Warwick then as an accredited academic he would know be...

Thanks Powmill for the update an d all of your hard work. It looks very professional. Very interesting, though there is still a very long way to go.

@original-fat-bob Brilliant, Bob. Not very empathetic, but still brilliant.

@original-fat-bob I'm afraid that I don't have any knowledge of who might be managing Ken's estate. Perhaps Philip has a contact who might help. I...

@original-fat-bob Thanks Bob. I wasn't thinking about Ken's Diasboro archive , which is readily available, but all of the Boro-related reference wo...

Many thanks for all of your very kind comments. May I return your compliments by saying that this blog provides the greatest gift that anyone writin...

Peter, If you haven't yet heard from the blog's Pedant Sub-Commitee your- or rather you're- in the clear

How many pigs did we see flying over the Stadium of Light yesterday? I counted at least four- and I don't mean one for every goal. First of all th...

"Illness has befell a number of Middlesbrough players" according to a headline in the Gazette. I'm not sure whether to be more concerned about a Cov...

Loved the intro, deleriad. Mind you, it took me a couple of hours to get through it as I fell asleep at the music and birdsong. But it was funny, ...

@original-fat-bob Bob, Was that comparison meant as a compliment or an insult?

@andy-r Andy, since I always seem to agree with you and respect your judgment 100% of the time it makes a refreshing change for me to query your ob...

I think we should talk about poor Hayden Coulson. I should say from the outset that my sympathies are all with the player in finding himself apparen...

Great opener, Clive. You could have walked into a job at the BBC given your ability to inform, educate and entertain. Thoroughly enjoyed your individu...

Agree with Andy that McGree was immense today, not just for his two well-taken goals and his ability to break the lines (his pass to Crooks and run in...

Thanks Andy for an excellent opener, one well up to your usual high standard. I fancy us to get something from this game. I'll go for a scoring draw...

@clive-hurren Thanks Clive for your excellent first-hand report. I'm pleased that Barlaser had such a good game. I thought he was unlucky to be s...

@exmil To be fair to Philip he was merely reporting what other commentators were saying, I saw the goal on Sky last night and my immediate respon...

@werdermouth Two exceptional posts, Werder. Both spot on.
