We are all grateful to Neil Warnock. Without him we would now be languishing in Division One. He came in, effected an immediate improvement, and did ...

Warnock has discovered what we have been criticising on here for years under successive managers. We have signed players without anyone at the club ...

@original-fat-bob You may well be right on Dijksteel, Bob, but i suspect it might not be as a defender. I saw him earlier this season at Blackburn...

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday's cup-final in spite of the weirdness of their being no crowd. Great skill and enterprising footbal...

Werder is right. With knobs on. This is a buyer's market in which most clubs are in our position of trying to off-load overpaid misfits, recouping ...

@plato There are few things more sickening than sports players with a short fuse who think they are above the law. Had Stokes not been seen as an ...

Agree with that RR. Tav and Wing seem to enjoy playing together, though they all too rarely do. I liked the way they conspired together recently to e...

Agree about Hughton, KP. And Lee Johnson did a better job of producing decent footballing sides at Bristol than any recent Boro bosses. And on a frac...

I suspect the question that Steve Gibson may be pondering, and that we might reflect upon, is whether he wants to appoint Kevin Blackwell as our next ...

Thanks to RR. You have had a fantastic season. Best wishes to Selwyn. Gerhard Struber anyone?

Thanks Werder. Enjoy your well-earned break.

Sounds to me like an act of good faith on the part of NW and his team in the hope of securing a longer term contract. A bit like Pulis's claim tha...

As someone who appreciates exmil's contributions to this blog, and in particular all of the hard work he has put into his challenge for our enjoyment,...

Bob Your insights and contacts are an indispensable part of this great blog and are a far more reliable source of information and exclusive tips and...

@grovehillwallah Caught up with the Guy Martin doc last week. Amazing and crazy stuff. Thanks for the heads up.

@werdermouth Woodgate as Director of football? Surely that was never a possibility. It's a role which will probably have been earmarked for Stewart...

Excellent report, as ever, RR. Agree entirely. Many thanks.

Lack of the defensive basics meant that we were soundly beaten in spite of playing much better football than for much of the season. Only Tav, yet ...

Nightmare start, but we have played some decent football since then. Tav and Dijksteel the pick for us so far, but Roberts all but invisible, Spen...

Thanks RR. A great report. I agree with every last syllable. I think that I am now able to say definitively that RR is Boro's best ever match repor...

Great win and a committed and energetic performance all round. Tav immense. The lad not only has great skill but possesses the best engine in the cl...

Agree Andy, Spence doesn't look fully fit. Great Fletch header to make up for his mistake for their goal. Reading don't look much and another Boro g...

Dijksteel couldn't defend as a full-back and I was more than surprised to see him come on as a sub against Bristol. If the plan is to pay him as a cen...

Excellent intro, Werder Consoling words from my daughter: "Don't worry, Dad. If the Boro go down they can always pitch for a Netflix series."

Bristol City came out and played something called football, a phenomenon too rarely seen at the Riverside. It's almost as though ex-manger Lee John...

Very sad news. Jackie Charlton passed away last night. A great and charismatic character, whose place in the history of our club will always be reme...

Allan Excellent news after an awful experience. Hope your recovery continues apace and that the Boro give you a well deserved tonic this afternoon....

Never doubted the lads. Great result. Great spirit and application. Shotton M-O-M
