@powmillnaemore Your excellent AI summary of the Boro's managerial situation presents the best evidence that I have yet seen for AI replacing journ...

As usual, I find Werder's comments and the discussion by everyone else on here to be far more informative than the re-heated rumours put out as news i...

@martin-bellamy .....if there were anyone else on it

@martin-bellamy I did something in some ways a bit more reprehensible than suggesting Edwards be sacked a few weeks ago. I predicted he would be ...

I may be completely mistaken, but if I am not, then Kieran Scott's apparent absence from yesterday's must-attend-in-solidarity game surely requires so...

@rich-llewelyn-evans Rich, just in case you happen to wonder why I had to edit a 3 word comment, it was because I addressed you ( as probably only ...

@rich-llewelyn-evans Excellent post, Rich.

@peter-surtees Agreed, Peter, a very good interview. Full of good sense.

I have to say that I gave my all today. 200% Exhausted by the end, but still heading out every cross and fully committed to every tackle. I was ...

Great atmosphere produced by us all sticking together with the team and fans as one in terms of energy and commitment. McGree a definite presence an...

May I just say that, amongst all of the very informed discussion over the past few days, Werder's regular monitoring of the situation has shown a degr...

Werder's words, quoted above, summarise the key point for me. Of course, we all of us will put our own family first. And who knows what complication...

@andy-r Make that two of us.

Now here's a funny thing... I did make the pre-season prediction- bold (or rash) by any standards- that Rob Edwards wouldn't last in the job beyond ...

Thanks Powmill for a very polished and thoughtful opener. Couldn't disagree with your main line of argument, and I appreciated the background on Birmi...

Never in doubt

No confidence in this selection. Leicester are out of form, but they have dangerous wingers, a solid midfield and will start strongly I fear another 3...

Really sad news. Stuart was a great centre-half and the backbone of a great team.From his persona on the pitch I always assumed that he might be a dou...

Thanks for the excellent opener Martin, which was very entertaining. As I said you are not capable of writing anything which is not interesting and in...

@clive-hurren Good post Clive. My feelings precisely. We started off in control and finished up playing like a pub team with no coherence or plan. ...

We've not played badly and if we can get the next goal I would still fancy us. Watford have had two chances and have taken them both. Burgzorg has ...

I don't think I have ever seen a Boro side going into a game with nothing even faintly resembling what we used to call a forward line

@martin-bellamy Thanks for the link, Martin. The extracts attached about Brian Clough also kept me happily entertained for most of the morning, eve...

@andy-r Where are you in the NW, Andy ? I'm in the quiet Wirral backwater of Heswall.

@clive-hurren Whenever anyone pontificates about what a great manager Ferguson was I always want to show them the disgraceful scenes when Andy D'Ur...

@andy-r ... make that a minority of two, Andy. Carrick continually called for the recruitment of "quality over quantity", something that the club...

The Watford game opens up some intriguing comparisons with last season's match, played at around the same time of year. Boro came to it on the back ...

Don't worry Martin. Everything you contribute is always of interest, and it's important that leader writers don't think of their task as homework, but...

Before I forget, all credit to PJ for expressing his doubts about Boro's team selection before last Saturday's match. It takes some courage to commit ...

As Pedro rightly suggests, the quality of your typically incisive and well crafted headliner, Andy, is very well illustrated by the responses it has p...
