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...
Great posts above. Thanks to you all. As Tawney observed around 100 years ago, "Freedom for the pike is death to the minnows".
@werdermouth Thanks Werder. Very informative. What is worrying is that political considerations are weighing more heavily upon the English situa...
Excellent discussion on here about Djed Spence. Boro's victory over Forest adds a few more intriguing ingredients to the mix: - If you were Jed wa...
Great opener, Andy. This is just about the first time I can remember when the word 'optimism' doesn't necessarily have to be qualified by the adje...
@powmillnaemore Lovely stuff, Powmill. I sang it and it scans perfectly. And what with the Cole Porter type rhymes , it's a bit of a Christmas ...
A good win against a side odds-on to be in the Premier League next season. A fortunate penalty, in my view, with the ref buying Jones's dive in the ...
After a bright opening with Jones having the beating of his man and Watmore full of running, Boro should have taken the lead. A sweet move between ...
@ken Thanks for reminding me that it's a Tuesday today. Though at our age it's the arbitrary nature of the way in which time is structured and the...
@original-fat-bob Need to provide credit card details. Not sure that's safe
Good luck, Clive. Hope your courage and loyalty are rewarded. If Werder could direct us to a possible streaming site in due course, I'm sure I won't...
Thanks for the great opener, Bob. 9th in the league may seem promising but we are at the top of a mini-table of 9 teams separated by just 3 points. ...
Great report, RR. Thanks
