@philip-of-huddersfield the thrill, and almost disbelief that we had such a player, when Juninho took off one on of his runs, is I think the highlight...
@mw-in-darwin Thanks MW. I was living in Norwich at the time and came down on the coach. You probably passed me in your car. It was three goals in t...
@original-fat-bob Lovely story Bob, really nice and it's so very Jack as well.
@mw-in-darwin a very long shot, but I went to that Charlton match in 1982 also. It was my first London match and I went by myself from university and ...
@lenmasterman what a lovely post Len and many happy returns.
The lull after the storm while we await a work permit apparently, is probably no bad thing. Ultimately I imagine all the Boro fans and much/all of t...
@werdermouth in the same article we also have Viveash took charge of Middlesbrough’s final game before the international break. Goals from Dael Fry an...
Raphael Wicky is an interesting one. The most colourful name by far and he looks like a younger Morrissey if his online pix are up-to-date. So, pretty...
@original-fat-bob this is brilliant and should have been an addendum to the official release around Edwards' departure.
@jarkko Pardon the pun but I think he's also out of the running now... No idea really who to expect.
@original-fat-bob I remember that well too and why will it have changed? The infamous booking boast aside, who on earth can even remember what O'Neill...
@werdermouth Robbo would be a short term PR boost, there to offer an assurance that we have things in hand. Much like he did by sitting next to Gibbo ...
Every new appointment as manager is huge for the club but this next one feels particularly far reaching. Crucially we have momentum right now which is...
@eboroacum my thinking too. Plus Ole is one of the good guys and that matters. I'd be happy. The only caveat is that no ex Fergie player has really ...
@powmillnaemore thanks Powmill, I will follow your lead and move onwards and upwards.
@andy-r thanks Andy. I'm coming round to the fact that there are many upsides to his departure but still feel we've been done. There is no disguisin...
@powmillnaemore They're very admirable sentiments but I think the bulk of Boro supporters would desperately hope Edwards struggles at Wolves. His beha...
@gt Sorry GT but I disagree. Edwards has behaved very badly, a treachery really if we want to take it that far. He has let down his many immediate col...
@forever-dormo we could give Gareth the three mill coming our way from Wolves? I don't see it either sadly but it would be a feel good appointment t...
Appointing Mogga is just wrong on all counts and especially for the man himself. He has been terribly ill and the self-imposed pressure to handle the ...
@simonfallaha yes, the doubts that arises from potential situations such as these are awful and can be corrosive way beyond a few days if they're not ...
@original-fat-bob Tommy Conway epitomises everything that is going well at the moment. Whenever any Boro player scores, he is first in there to congra...
@presidentjump Yes, I think that if a squad behaves well and gets involved seriously in community issues and help, then there is a bonding benefit for...
@lenmasterman that's a great post Len and, I suspect, if not bang on the money, then very close to it indeed. I don't think fans or the local media ...
@jarkko I guess we're all enjoying the break and lapping up the new hype. That's a very good point about a marquee player and yes, Tuncay was probab...
@original-fat-bob yes the tone of the blog is outstanding and I think its what we all appreciate. Also, while opinions can vary (an imperative anywa...
I'm in several minds about Azaz. On his day, his attacking creativity can be very good indeed and he has a skill set that not many other players ha...
@werdermouth I agree fully with all your thoughts. I think though, that we'd all more amenable/open minded to such signings if we didn't sell player...
While the Opta stats predict a hard start to the season and the consensus on here seems to be that the first 10 games are challenging, I feel this is ...
@werdermouth As well as Steve Gibson's somehow £350 million jump in the 2024 Sunday Times list, he is not there at all in this year's same list. Des...
