@werdermouth Where’s Giles gone?

@powmillnaemore But can you put your hands in your head?

Good work, Clive - a comprehensive summary of where we are and what we can expect on Friday. Trying to predict a result at that the moment is virtuall...

@lenmasterman That’s a very interesting post, Len. I think I’d rather see us stuck in the EFL playing attractive football, than achieving promotion vi...

That post from @andy-r wouldn’t look out of place on the sports pages of any major newspaper. It’s quite simply one of the best pieces of writing that...

Are you for trying to suggest that SG should go? Would you rather he sold? I do personally recall quite a few good things in his history - saving the ...

@forever-dormo Which is exactly what I said in my post. No one can refuse to accept a resignation, but they can try to persuade the resignee to withdr...

@pedro I wonder how many Championship managers have ever got to the end of a 4 year contract. There can’t be many.

@original-fat-bob I’ve always thought that the refusal of a resignation isn’t possible. The active person in that discussion is the one handing in his...

@original-fat-bob You don’t succeed in business without making some difficult decisions. You can’t get them all right but in my experience, on balance...

@boroexile I’m conflicted on this one, particularly because (this Forum excepted) the standard of public discourse generally is dreadful. I’m prett...

I wonder, when Iheanacho first started his career, whether one of his dreams was to play for Middlesbrough. I somehow doubt, when he helped Man City w...

This article about playing out from the back seems prescient: I haven’t seen the highlights from yesterday (we’re there any?) but I’d be interest...

I’m in the camp of those who think we should stick with MC for at least the rest of the season. For me, @werdermouth speaks a lot of sense (as alwa...

If MC has to go, I’d rather have almost anyone other than Dyche. There must be someone else out there. Weirdly, if we win our game in hand, we’re s...

@werdermouth Brilliant - just what we needed after last night’s debacle. Well done on another superb example of wordsmithery. Crikey, the standard rem...

I’m inclined to think that last night’s aberration was to a large extent the result of perfect tactics by our former manager. Their players were “at...

Tonight was a massive disappointment - not because we lost but by the nature of our performance. Nevertheless, I don’t think now is the time to change...

And just like that, we’re down to 9th. I think we need to acknowledge that Sheffield Utd were just better than us tonight - we desperately need a wi...

I can’t work out what result we want from tomorrow’s WBA vs Blackburn game. Is a draw any good in the long run or are we better off if Rovers lose?

An interesting article from the Guardian about Reading FC. Sometimes we should think about how lucky we are to have SG.

@forever-dormo “@martin-bellamy - I wouldn't put your money on it let alone mine!“ - me neither, as it happens!

@k-p-in-spain Agreed - it’s definitely an opportunity missed. It wouldn’t have taken too much of an improvement for us to be secure in a play off plac...

@forever-dormo Here you go: IMG_1926.jpeg

@paulinboro It definitely could be - but there’s a way to go yet. I won’t be having a bet by the way!

@paulinboro Here are some odds for you.

@gt I accept what you say about coaching and recruitment, but we’re talking about professional footballers here. Surely, their self respect should h...

@original-fat-bob That’s a great insight - we never really know what’s going on in the background do we?
