A brilliantly researched resume of our recent League Cup history, Clive. It was especially useful for someone like me who remembers and treasures our ...
"The captain’s armband at Boro was left up for grabs this summer after Jonny Howson left the club at the end of his contract to start a new player-coa...
A satisfactory 1-0 win for Boro and one suspects not the only binary scoreline we will see this season. Fry, Sivera, Ayling and Jones the stand out pe...
Some neat midfield play from both teams, but it's telling that the nearest either team has come to a goal has been via two excellent long-range strike...
Having thought a bit more about tomorrow's match I'm more optimistic in that Swansea may be the ideal team for us to implement our high press upon. ...
When I've seen Geldhart he's been a hard running bustler. As a kid at Leeds he would come on as sub and be a bit of a crowd pleaser. But he doesn't se...
@werdermouth Yes, Mcgree for Maddison wouldn't so much be one out one in, but one out another one out. A bit like Reform's immigration policy
@mw-in-darwin Wow! Thanks for that. I hadn't seen those stats, but although I'm sceptical about most of the stats that I see about football, it's ...
Since this is prediction time, I'll make a big one which I sincerely hope doesn't come to pass. Looking at the tough fixtures which lie ahead in the f...
@jarkko The same story is also in the Gazette Jarkko. It's just a big injection of PR in the face of what has been a problematic pre-season in term...
Thanks Bob for an excellent opener that covers a lot of ground and sets us up nicely for Saturday. Then the hot air, non-stories, rumours, aspiratio...
So Akpom is going to Birmingham in spite of Steve Gibson's late intervention. The question for me is why Birmingham were quicker on the draw than the ...
Seems like the reason Boro might be able to hi jack Akpom's Birmingham deal is by offering to sign him permanently rather than on loan. Ajax's asking ...
Some contradiction between the Gazette's account that we are trying to hi-jack the Akpom-Birmingham deal which is already well advanced, and the Echo'...

Many thanks to Richard for his excellent post and also to Dormo for his kindness. Thanks too to Clive, exmil and Peter whose supportive words post-dat...
@k-p-in-spain Thanks so much for the heads up on today's game. The link worked very well. The performance itself was patchy and the prospects fo...
@exmil I have no first hand information about these things, but that does seem to be a persistent rumour that has some legs. If it turns out to be ...
Talk of a £15m fee up front supports Bob's suggestion a few weeks ago that Hackney was put up for offers, this being a final straw for Carrick. Certai...
Mmm...£3m for an unknown quantity, whom we wish well, but who, as Werder says, will certainly take some time to settle and adapt. Wrexham got Lewis O'...
Thank you all so much for your kind messages. I was really touched by them, and they definitely helped to spur me on through my exercises this morning...
@jarkko Very kind of you to ask, Jarkko, and many thanks to everyone for their best wishes. They reached me just when I needed them most, immediate...
A very different second half with Boro's energetic closing down taking its toll after an hour with the introduction of a battery of first choice Range...
A pleasure to record how well the Boro have played in the first half. It's no exaggeration to say that we could easily have been 5 up by half-time, th...
I see that the Gazette is promoting the debate as to whether Glover or Brynne is our No.1 keeper. Apparently Edwards isn't sure and is giving each of ...
According to Scott "Scoop" Wilson in the Echo today Boro are on the verge of signing Aboulaye Faye from Troyes. He should bring some much needed expe...
@pedro Good post, Pedro. Agree with all of that
@werdermouth I hope I'm wrong but hanging on to Hackney seems like a fond hope. Bob posted weeks ago that the club were open to offers on Hackney a...
Great stuff, Powmill. Many thanks for all of your hard work.
@werdermouth Thanks Werder, a decent interview as it turns out. I see from the Gazette below the line comments that some supporters are already cri...
