Biblical downpours in the North West at the moment. The game must be in some doubt. If it goes ahead simply because it is Sky's main game it will ...

@redcarred An old fool is just a young fool who has learned nothing. His folly, generally, has nothing to do with his age. Trump may be , as you c...

I don't think we should be so ready to follow dominant psychological cliches of mental decline in our older years. Psychology isn't a politically ne...

Loved him when he was at his peak, but his pace and skill always made him a target for the hatchet men, and that was his downfall. Hope we can see our...

@original-fat-bob Watmore was an outstanding prospect before his injuries and at anything approaching his best would be exactly the kind of creative...

Thanks Werder for another splendid opener. I'll be interested to see what Hughton has done for Forest in the short tome he's had, as I'd touted him ...

Ken and Bob It's inspiring to everyone else that you are both managing to post in spite of such major difficulties. This blog is about so much mor...

@werdermouth Thanks for the link. A great zen-like website, which we all thought was both funny and profound.

Agree with that, Andy. As for my wife, I won't pass on your gracious invitation. It will only encourage her. My daughter has inherited her genes. ...

"I wish I had painted this room today", said my wife at half-time. "Why's that?" "So I could have watched it dry". Summed it up really. And wh...

@plato Mistaken identity, I think, Plato. Haven't expressed any views on the effect of the lack of crowds. Best wishes, Bob. Watching the Boro i...

For UK viewers it looks to me as though the Boro match will be available on the Sky red button tonight. If so it will save you the normal £10 streami...

Best wishes, Ken. Very sorry to hear about your fall, and that you had to wait so long to get any attention. Falling is a big thing in one's 80s and...

Thanks, Werder. Appreciated the stylistic elegance, as ever. The gangster euphemisms were priceless. I rate Mark Robbins as a manager, the only '...

Can I give a shout for an interview with Craig Johnston posted by Martin on another thread. Absolutely fascinating stuff on his days at the Boro.

Magnificent post, Martin. Thanks so much. I'll give it a shout on another thread in case people miss it.

@redcarred and John Richardson Two excellent posts, both spot on. Couldn't be more pleased for Bamford. Like many Boro fans who remember his fir...

Thanks RR for your typically comprehensive report. Had there been a crowd then after the first half-hour the police would have moved them on - "Noth...

Werder, many thanks for another excellent opener. The Bristol performance was such a Herculean effort that you have to wonder how many times the lad...

Thanks for another sparkling opener, Werder. And so to Bristol, albeit virtually. One of the features of the season so far is that what had looked...

Apologies to Werder for the delay in responding to another terrific leader. Have just got around to reading it on a quiet Sunday morning after a bu...

Excellent report, RR and almost exactly as I saw it. Many thanks

A point is a point against a team who had more quality than us. We deserved our draw in the end. I most enjoyed watching young Ovie Ejaria, about w...

Bright start from Boro, but once Reading got into their stride they have looked the better side, more inventive and with better control. We are sl...

Pedro A small typo in your post ? I assume you meant "Could not lace his booze."

Thanks Werder for another stylish, topical and very funny opener. So funny in fact that I read out large sections of it to my wife and daughter, nei...

Excellent report, RR, and much as I saw it. Many thanks.

Scrappy game with neither side mastering the blustery conditions. Boro looked to be staring defeat in the face for much of the second half, but cam...

@k-p-in-spain I missed our signing of A N Other as well. Apparently we signed him in a job lot with S O Else.

Thanks, Werder, another excellent piece, beautifully written, as ever, and hitting precisely the right tone of uncertain expectancy. Another tough g...
