Same problem as first half at Blackburn; nothing sticking up front. Watmore should really be on for either of the front two, and Coburn couldn't do an...

When the draw was announced, I really felt that we could create a major upset. We were in form and United in some disarray. I'm much less optimistic...

Fabulous goal by Uche last night on his Cardiff debut, latching on to a punt upfield, brushing aside two defenders, and placing it in the corner. Wh...

Good post, Philip. I was about to make exactly the same point about Spence. You could almost physically see the money falling on his valuation as the...

Thanks, Bob. You're well ahead of the Gazette. As ever.

Clark is another one that Newcastle will be only too happy to be rid of. He's made far too many costly errors and has not had a happy season. We sh...

I suggested on Untypical Boro that we should buy this lad in 2013 when he looked a promising prospect and scored a goal against us that turned out to ...

Like deleriad (of whose perceptive and intelligent contributions to this blog I am a great admirer) I did not see yesterday's game, so many thanks to ...

The most revealing feature of Wilder's post-match presser was his hair-trigger anger at the merest suggestion of criticism of Connelly. So defensive...

Any streams available?

Great analyses of Monday's game on here, to which I can add little. We were very poor all over the park, particularly in the first half, against a w...

Now here's a funny thing... Normally when you give a dual head-and- heart forecast, it's because you hope the Boro will win against all logic. eg...

I see that Mr Zahawi has tweeted the admirable sentiment that Islamophobia needs to be "routed out" of his party. He is Secretary of State for Educa...

Thanks Bob. I have just seen the Gazette's piece this morning on the current state of play in the transfer window. In spite of its length it tells u...

Agree wholeheartedly with that, RR. Scunny can keep him.

There's little merit to Samuel's argument. The Boro are not arguing that they would have been promoted (otherwise they would be suing for £140 mill...

Bob Thanks for the shift you've put in over the past few days. Much appreciated.

Bob, I really enjoyed the interviews, and would very much appreciate more if you have the time to do them. I don't have any particular questions,...

@philip-of-huddersfield Absolutely right, Philip. A reliable keeper has to be our top priority.

@original-fat-bob Thanks Bob. Great contributions. I see that your scouting reports from yesterday formed the basis of Craig Johns' lengthy piece ...

@k-p-in-spain KP Didn't see yours before I posted. I think we're making the same point.

RR Or is it,' Acquire cheap ,fail to develop their assets, loan them out to a club which has decent progressive coaching, and then sell them on for ...

Thanks Werder. Greatly appreciated, and enjoyed the game.

The only glimpse I've had of Balogun was a few weeks ago against Sunderland. The game was billed as an opportunity for some promising Arsenal youngste...

@redcarred and Pedro Thanks, that's very helpful

On streaming, I'm always a bit wary of what I'm clicking on to. Can those with more experience give any guidance on whether it's safe to give credit...

Count me in, Martin, whenever things get back to something like normal. I'm well into my 80s now but would make every effort to be there.

Happy New Year to all Diasborians, and thanks to you all for your contributions to the best blog on the web and one that I look forward to reading sev...

Dormo I enjoyed your posts, but unfortunately completely misread them. I was going to respond by saying, "And they say that satire is dead". I h...

@jarkko Sounds a bit like George Best. Minus the good looks And the stellar footballing skills. Just a lost young Irish lad, far from home, on...
