@ken. I don’t want us to fall out over any of this - I’m sure you meant no harm in your original post but I took exception to some of your phraseology...

@ken I’ll always question things that seem to raise a red flag. My life is fine thanks.

How is the fact that he’s Pakistani relevant?

A brilliant starter, Andy, exemplifying the talent on show in this Forum. I’m expecting a win at Cardiff (aren’t we all?) but can’t see us catching Sh...

Thank goodness. 😉

I think he’s played with Archer at Villa, so hopefully they’ll know each other’s games.

Looks like DW has gone and Aaron Ramsey is in.  AC0AE11B-D833-4DA4-BEFF-F350157B26CB.jpeg

I’m so out of touch due to the house move going on, that I’d missed McCarthy’s move to the Seasiders. Moving from Lancashire means I no longer see the...

@forever-dormo Thanks for the history lesson - all those facts based on a myth. 😉 I was “christened” as a child, much like everyone else in the 50s....

@forever-dormo Would they have been “Christian” names 800 years ago? Then, and now, I prefer forename.

Some lovely memories there, Ken. I’m finally writing this post from our new home, so hello everyone from North Yorkshire - it’s been quite a week, ...

Off topic but I’ve just discovered this song from the Young ‘Uns written as part of Radio 2’s 21st Century Folk series. Well worth a listen:/p>

Here’s a rare match report from the Guardian:

I see that MacAllister is on the bench - who was the last World Cup winner to play at the Riverside?

@original-fat-bob I didn’t realise that she’s married to Frank Spraggon.

The Guardian are gushing over MC’s managerial performance so far (and praising JW to boot):

@original-fat-bob A trivial fact, compared with that great insight, ofb: my sister, Linda, used to work with Shep’s daughter at C&A’s. She’s quite...

Another £10 well spent and another deserved win. The Championship is bonkers isn’t it? Any team that can put a good run of wins together can secure a ...

@forever-dormo I remember Charlton coming off and, even then, realising the inevitability of what was going to happen. Typical England 😉

@powmillnaemore Was that the WC where Bobby Moore was accused of shoplifting an item of jewellery?

I was surprised that a red card was shown but agree with the majority that it was justified. I’ve no idea what the Rovers player was thinking when he ...

Well that was well worth £10 although a bit nervy at the end.

@jarkko If you really have dyslexia, then I’m even more in awe of your language skills. I’ve paid my £10 to watch via BoroLive - just hoping the 4G...

Can I throw the name of Michael Ricketts into the mix?

Am I correct in thinking that today’s match isn’t available from the club on Boro Live?

@john-richardson Our thoughts are with you, John. Cuddle up to those Terriers and try to enjoy Xmas.

@forever-dormo @ken Here’s an interesting article about Harry Brook from the Guardian.

@plato Isn’t tying up their players close to our box one of the reasons for playing out rather than hoofing it upfield? I do think we should mix it up...

@forever-dormo It’s always noticeable (to me anyway) that there are lots of high scoring games over the festive period. It’s possible I could have ima...

@ken I don’t recall it actually raining cats and dogs either, but surely our language is nuanced enough for idioms to extend to football. Everyone kno...
