A belter of a starter, Len. Your mention of the state of Luton’s pitch worries me - we play a short passing game, predicated on getting the ball forwa...
I’ve just rewatched the highlights of last night’s game - can you imagine the scenes and the despair on here if their GK had scored with that header n...
My original grammatical reply to @Jarkko is increasingly looking more valid or, at the very least, less incorrect. I’m a big believer in flexibility o...
Phew indeed and other results going our way so far.
@clive-hurren Phew - I’m not totally out on a limb then.
Oh no, not for the first time in my life, I’m now wracked* with self doubt. Greater minds than mine have spoken, and contradicted, what in my head, wa...
@jarkko It’s definitely correct to use “are”. “Middlesbrough side” comprises 11 players, hence the use for plural objects, even though “side” suggests...
@pedro I’ve got a feeling that the purchase of Whittaker was to complete a partnership with Azaz, replicating their success at Plymouth. As for MC, I ...
I’d be interested in a spreadsheet of the correlation of results by who wrote the starter for each game. We already know that Werdermouth is the kiss ...
@jarkko You’re right @Jarkko. And I was definitely laughing with you, not at you - I’m in awe of your language skills.
Great work Jarrko - your command of English is a thing to behold, although I’m not sure if this sentence was meant to say what it did - “So, some cred...
@pedro I’m still not sure what failure actually is, in this context. Maybe SG thinks developing players to sell on at a massive profit is in many ways...
@paulinboro I feel your pain - the least any supporter should be able to expect is that the players are busting a gut to win, especially when there’s ...
@forever-dormo Fortunately, my experience of my industry didn't extend to having to explain to customers and competitors in a public forum what we’d g...
@paulinboro As someone who thinks a 7th placed finish isn’t too bad a result at the end of the season, I’d rather we stuck with MC, rather than twisti...
It’s been such a beautiful day here in Yorkshire today that I’m resisting any influences that might bring me down. I’m having a glass half full day. ...
Phew - it nearly blew my champagne socialist cover. 😉
WARNING: that link took me to the Mail Online - not a place I ever want to be.
@paulinboro I know what you mean, although Mrs B is a closet Arsenal fan. It may possibly date back to the days of Thierry Henry or maybe when she ran...
@paulinboro From the EG: ”Boro had fought off competition from Spurs for the signature of Michael Ricketts, who made one appearance for England, and...
@paulinboro Maybe he scored in an earlier round. Given how few goals he scored, I’m surprised we can’t remember them all!
@powmillnaemore Crikey! I wasn’t expecting to be in that position.
Oh yes, I’d forgotten about him.
Funnily enough, I was just thinking about him earlier today.
@paulinboro Wikipedia has him down as scoring one League Cup game for us so you may well be correct. If he’s in any way responsible for the best sport...
Amen to that. I’ve just replied to a comment on FB, where a fan claimed that Lucas Engel was the worse Boro player he’d ever seen. When I mentioned Mi...
Nice one, FD. Re your Tesla comments, I was chatting to my brother in law on Saturday. His employers provide company cars and he tells me that lots of...
I see that our former GK, Liam Roberts, got himself into a spot of bother yesterday, playing for Millwall-boro. I don’t recall him playing many games ...
