It’s all a bit too reminiscent of 1992 when Pakistan again came from nowhere to make the final and then beat England. Does history repeat itself?
@ken it’s been a lot of fun having the T20 World Cup here in Oz. It’s always a pleasure when England knock out Australia but the most amazing sight...
@forever-dormo Australia is very cosmopolitan with immigration from many countries. SBS will show every game either on one of their free to air cha...
@forever-dormo the World Cup is on free to air channel SBS in Australia.
I agree with you Andy. The keeper put a leg out and then withdrew it as Forss had to hurdle over him. That second half performance was even better ...
A really good first half playing quality football and we could easily have been 3-0 up. No particular misses but just huge pressure that somehow didn’...
There certainly appears to be an issue with domestic streaming but, at least according to mfc.co.uk, it will be available to anyone overseas so I'm ho...
@pedro I have to disagree. I thought that the Hackney Howson axis was a huge step forward and the main weakness came from the inability to deliver ...
Nothing wonderful but we’ve had the only chances so far. I'm very impressed by Akpom. He has a great first touch and is strong enough to hold the ba...
@ken afraid not me with the banner. I was actually in Brisbane during the weekend but was back home in Sydney before the T20 game. I’m nervous f...
@ken you make a very good point about club loyalty but I do wonder if things have really changed. The media - here and certainly abroad - spend all...
It’s a strange world. I just realised that Phelan is on gardening leave and, in theory, available for MFC because he was kicked out of Man U to be rep...
Fair comment. I like Dana Malt. She talks a lot of sense on Boro Breakdown and Red Alert podcasts. She’s not frightened to point out when things aren’...
@pedro fair enough. Mine was just a guess based on circumstance. utb
Wow, there’s a lot of negativity on the blog towards anything that happens at the club. I don’t agree with everything that they do but always expectin...
Seems logical to me especially for a game in which we are likely to have plenty of possession. I’d like to see a midfield diamond with Howson at the...
It didn’t hurt us. McNair is a very solid squad player who can do a job in several positions but he isn’t special enough to make a difference.
We've all been saying that a switch to 4 at the back would release players to go forward. They lined up that way although having Giles at left back is...
@original fat bob excellent summary of where we stand. The second half against Blackburn did give me a glimmer of hope because we ended up dominat...
@pedro yes, it was a back four with McNair moved up into midfield
Strange game. For half an hour, Blackburn were in total control and it was only Steffen that kept us alive with three point black saves including one ...
@ken i just saw your note and wish you the very best of luck with the new treatment. I’m counting on you to celebrate Boro’s climb up the table with...
…next to the rose-tinted glasses
The first half was disappointing but rather in the “why did we again have to be the victims of some lousy luck but we’re playing OK” manner as opposed...
@original-fat-bob I have nothing against Rob Edwards despite the manner of his departure from Forest Green to take the Watford job. He seems to be ...
I didn't find the game as bad as people are saying and I thought that Birmingham looked quite good in possession and gave Boro some problems. We had g...
It wouldn't let me in for five or so minutes but then accepted my log in and gave me access to the stream.
@john-richardson welcome back. Let’s hope for a good win to make everyone feel better. I totally agree about a smart young manager who will buy int...
Do we know how many of the new back room staff - goalkeeping coach, fitness etc - are staying?
Wow. Clearly there was bad blood building up. Before the sacking, I was going to suggest a rest for Crooks and Mowatt and a midfield of Howson, Luon...
