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 ...

@original-fat-bob I’m fairly sure today's players are generally fitter than those days. Whether they’ve got as much heart is anyone’s guess.
I intend to change my name to Marupin Bellamy by Deed Poll - I like the sound of it.
@jarkko Good point, although the last time I popped in they had no whisky for sale, which was very odd.
@k-p-in-spain Boro defenders at Rockliffe.
@jarkko I’m up in Ardnamurchan, miles from anywhere with no tv or WiFi on 8th & 9th. Should I be worried?
Full marks for your starter, Clive - as erudite and humorous as ever. Maybe we should look forward to Waitrose Riverside - at least there’d be a free ...
An article about Djed Spence in the Guardian today. I think we all knew there was a good player in there if he could get his attitude right.
Yes, apparently they can! Good result tonight - not a perfect performance but some good signs. The more I see of Morris, the better he looks.
Yes they can attack, but can they do it on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke. Let’s hope so.
@powmillnaemore Many thanks for that musical education of an opener. Let’s hope our team aren’t out of tune tomorrow night. Much as we’re all a bit...
@exmil I think I’d find it hard to put the effort in at the moment. Much like our players!
An interesting article about the overall state of the Championship here, from the Guardian./p>
What I do regret is using “There” when “The” or “Their” would have been correct! I stand by the other words. 😉
I could see the first goal coming as soon as our GK decided to boot the ball long. It was an easy opportunity to play it short and recycle it forward....
