@david-in-cumbria the game is available in full on the MFC website utb
Wow. because the game was on BeIn sports I could record it overnight and then get up to watch it early this morning. What a pleasure. Put quite simply...
The club seems to have got itself into a solid position with regard to contracts. Very few significant contracts end in 2022 and my guess would be tha...
@clive-hurren I am indeed in New South Wales, Sydney to be precise. We are moving steadily into summer and some people are complaining because its o...
@redcarred your comment has started me thinking about possible differences between local supporters and far-flung fans. I seem to find it easier to ...
@pedro That listing putting MFC at number 5 in terms of wage bill may well have been for the year just ended and the removal of some very high earne...
@jarkko It’s a bit far to come but I was a reasonable sweeper or full back in my playing days with a good right foot. However, at 68 even if still i...
@clive-hurren I agree about the Jones penalty. He left a leg trailing behind him and then deliberately fell over the player's foot. I thought that t...
I was fortunate (?) to have the film on BeIn sports so could watch a perfect image which showed really clearly how our defence is suffering. Bamba rea...
@werdermouth fair comment. The real test may be coming in the next few months when NW has players to choose from.
I noticed the above extract from @werdermouth’s piece and it made me realise something. This blog has often been quite critical of the Boro recruitmen...
There is a lot of indignation on the blog about NUFC and much of it is justified although I do have some sympathy with any supporter who asks why he s...
@werdermouth I'm sure there is a half-decent team somewhere among the chaos but will we see it emerge or will it remain just a theoretical possibili...
@jarkko i couldn’t agree with you more. Anticipating a positive outcome doesn’t mean that a negative outcome is not hurtful but, at least for me, it...
@original-fat-bob anyone care to bet on whether he is playing for Boro next year? Feel free to add in Coulson, Hemming, Brynn or any of the others d...
I’m still curious to see what would happen if we played Ikpeazu and Sporar together up front maybe with Watmore in a front three. Somewhere there is a...
Forever Dormo as well.
Only one small indication I know but it's good to see the youngsters thrashing a team from a PL academy. They made the final of this competition las...
It was actually a little dislocating watching the match because it reminded me of a lot of Boro match’s when we played quite well but lost to a team a...
Interesting team selection. Looks like a 4-1-4-1 or a 4-1-3-2 depending on where Crooks plays. Of course, most of us will be looking at Payero. Lots t...
Here in Oz the Reading and Sheffield United games are being shown live on Bein sports and so I assume that they will be available anywhere else that B...
so what went wrong last time and how can we avoid that? UTB
....yay, it worked. It even replaced the image on all of my old posts. UTB
greetings @original-fat-bob No reason at all for this entry except to see if I've finally managed to add a photo to my profile. If so, it will a tri...
@plato We don’t agree that often 🙂 but I think that you have a real point here about inflexibility although it does help when you have Kante to bri...
I’ve kept off the blog for a day or so because I was really upset at the Blackpool game. There ‘s nothing worse than staying up until 2 in the morning...
Great song. I’ll hope to hear it when I tune in tonight. I totally agree with your sentiments. We all expend so much mental energy in our support of...
It's always tricky to know which games demand a back three and which a back four. You can argue either way. Playing a back three with a holding player...
@mw-in-darwin By memory, a lot of Tav's passes will have been short distance. I was thinking more of his choices that didn't end up in passes and so...
@original-fat-bob with the number of tackles that he made, it probably wasn’t much of a risk.
