News just in from the Red Sea......
Maybe the Red Sea is looking a bit shallower in parts
@clive-hurren Ouch! Yes. The analogy stretches a bit painfully too far for comfort.
Well having seen today's line up, if we were hoping for a miracle before, it's now looking like we're going to need one of at least parting of the Red...
Last night was the most graphic example yet of having a team full of willing goal creators and providers, but no time-served goal takers. Lots of effo...
Looks like a strong team on paper. As they say, shame it's played on grass.
Well, that's got me suitably fired up, Clive, full of appropriately calibrated bile and grudge. I'm taking our eldest granddaughter for her first ta...
@werdermouth I think you're right about the lack of pace at the rear of midfield. I wonder if Bangura could be moulded into a defensive midfielder....
I'm not sure it's the case that the players don't have the skills to play out from the back. It may turn out to be true for some in the long term, but...
As Gary Neville pointed out, they're never going to stop playing out from the back - they're just going have to keep figuring out how to get better at...
If fan noise counted for anything, we'd be through already
@k-p-in-spain I'm sure you'll have some spare time to catch up with your jobs this evening. There's not anything special happening this evening is ...
While I'm apologising, I'd also like to apologise for my grammatical error. After Werder's brilliant opener, I don't want to bring the standards dow...
In these times of heightened emotions, when we're all hiding behind our chosen piece of furniture and consuming our chosen comforter, we nevertheless ...
Yes. I noticed Greenwood's snub of Engel too. I must admit, I've been a little bit nervous of Greenwood's character from the day of the press conferen...
@lenmasterman You don't get this on Smoggies on Tour
Just watched the Luke Ayling interview and then read about his lifelong struggle with a stammer. He seems like a really genuine bloke and is clearly v...
I watched the second half in a somewhat agitated state, feeling that a Chelsea goal was inevitable. It slowly dawned on me that Chelsea were never goi...
Very impressive to lose the pace of Bangura and Latte Lath, reorganise and come up with a goal like that. Lovely. I'll not mention Cole Palmer.
@lenmasterman You most eloquently summed up my thoughts on things. I should have paid even closer attention at Acklam !
In the match that I was watching, I saw the Boro have a stranglehold on the game in a way that I have rarely witnessed before. Also I saw Bangura repe...
Well that's certainly switched on my Christmas spirit. A wonderful summation of the season so far. Your brilliant carol really captures the ebbs...
It just seemed that our players got the feeling very early on that it was going to be an easy night. So the odd fluffed chance wasn't going to matter ...
Lots of careless play up front. Otherwise we could be 3 or 4 in front. We talk about that final ball. Well I reckon it's only the final one, be...
@forever-dormo Yet, say any of those things to the kids of today and they give you a funny look. What's the matter with them.
We have lots of relatives with Hull connections. I've also been there for work and my Dad was stationed at Spurn Point during the war. I've always f...
@original-fat-bob And it's a pleasure to have such a refuge away from the bonkers world, where we can all share a totally irrational, and mainly h...
I've just got my copy of AV's book The Games That Shaped The Boro and I've been dipping in and out. If we're a bit concerned about a brittle def...
I reckon we're the first away team to score 2 goals at Elland Road since 6 Aug. Little victories.
A few weeks ago, we'd have seen a lineup with that many new signings in it and shuddered. I think it's a testament to MC's coaching and man manageme...
