For me there is a key metric of our improvement and increased creativity under Wilder that I haven't seen commented upon elsewhere. It's the fact th...

I see that Dani Ayala got picked to play for Blackburn tonight, but injured himself during the warm-up and couldn't play. He must have been so looki...

Thanks Allan. Threads was written by my good friend Barry Hines, author of Kestrel for a Knave (fimed as Kes), who sadly passed away three or four ye...

Brilliant Werder. Just a pity that James Cook Hospital didn't see any of that £350 million a week that the club donated to the NHS.

Careful Dormo. The last time I heard about the promise of "sunlit uplands" it was referring to Brexit.

Martin Go man go

Martin I agree about the unprecedented degree of positivity (which I share). But you begin with "Banana skins aside..." That's one hell of a provis...

Thanks Bob. Great start.

Ken "Come on you Sulphurites " is bad enough, but imagine being a supporter of Borussia Monchengladbach: "Give us a B,......"

Jarkko Congratulations to both you and Werder on the landmark posts. Stalwarts both.

Thanks Werder. The link worked fine after some early glitches. Grateful to see such an enjoyable game and another fine Boro performance. Very good ...

As usual I would be pathetically grateful to be rescued from my state of pitiful intellectual ignorance and gross moral turpitude by any hints the bra...

Best wishes, Bob

Excellent intro, Andy. Many thanks.

Swap the keepers and we win 1-4.

A really good game with Boro playing well and deservedly getting an equaliser before half time. We are creating a fair few chances thanks to Crooks,...

First impression: Boro to hold Spurs to a draw. Then to go through on penalties.

Heroes all. Well done lads. Every single penalty a winner.

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...
