@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...
"Sorry, but there is an issue with this video". That is the message that will greet you on the Boro website if you click on to the promised Bradford...
So Boro give away a second goal with the last kick of the game after Law McCabe is brushed too easily off the ball in a dangerous area. Zero firepow...
Powderpuff football from Boro. Neat interplay with Whittaker having the freedom of the park and Hackney playing well within himself, but very few cha...
@martin-bellamy A fair point, Martin, but Howson wouldn't have been a new signing. He was a completely known quantity, a strong player, and already...
Yet another in what is now a long line of terrible and badly handled decisions. Jonny would walk into that team on ability alone, let alone experience...
Welcome back, Clive, and to Bob too, and others after a thinnish Summer for the blog.
The only thing I have seen is Graeme Bandeira on X saying he would like the Collyer loan to happen, but there is zero chance of it.
The big question surrounding Danny Ings is surely whether anyone at the club has actually scouted him recently. Is he fully fit and raring to go? Has ...
That's it exactly, Dormo. We all want to believe, but where is the solid evidence coming from the club to substantiate that faith? All we have been of...
Very little information has come out about the Boro recently, but the problem I have is that the bits and pieces that have been revealed appear to mak...
Thanks for that interesting opener, Werder. How refreshing to read something about the Boro that is original, topical, literate, intelligent and relev...
Former Middlesbrough striker makes transfer decision, £18m asking price set This story from the Gazette must mark a new journalistic low. It's about ...
Howson was my player of the season two years ago, and in spite of his injuries last term he never let us down whenever he played, no matter in which p...
@andy-r His showreel tape is underwhelming and he does look as though he could well be another Silvera or Hamilton. Capable of good things but gene...
@pedro The only money issues that we had arose from the 12 signings we made ourselves during that window. In order to make way for the likes of Pay...
@martin-bellamy Martin, I thought you might be interested in a report based on an interview with Morsy in which he spoke about the circumstances of...
@pedro In spite of seven attempts we never did adequately replace Bola (or Sam Morsy, Isiah Jones, and, I fear, the same may apply to Josh Coburn)
@pedro You have to remember that Dom and Scott at the Echo are, like Craig Johns at the Gazette, effectively part of the Boro's PR team. So the fig...
As the new season approaches and the blog discusses how to balance a widespread pessimism with some degree of optimism, it may be helpful to remember ...
Three or four successive defeats or dire displays puts any coach under pressure these days, added to which I don't think RE will get as much of a hone...
@werdermouth Straight plagiarism. A call to Sue, Grabbit and Runne is surely called for.
@werdermouth Yes, I saw that, and it's hard to decide which is the most stupid, the idiocy of the idea or the judgment of the journalist in reporti...
@werdermouth A brilliant spot that demonstrates that the Gazette is reporting whatever the club's PR line is at any particular moment even though i...
To read the Gazette these days is like having the misfortune to catch Fox News. You have to read against the grain of the text because the truth of th...
Many thanks for all of your kind thoughts and best wishes. They have really meant a lot to me and have given me extra motivation after a difficult per...
@clive-hurren Excellent post. My thoughts entirely.
A timely and well written opener, Werder. Many thanks. I fear that I must pull out of the roster of leader writers. I have been hospitalised for th...
As I have said before Rob Edwards seems like a thoroughly decent man and a good man manager. His support of Tom Lockyer was absolutely exemplary, the ...
Interesting post, Paul with a timely warning: "Don't get lost in the eyes and the teeth."
