Can I suggest that everyone takes a deep breath and remembers that this Boro team is doing better than we all expected but maybe not as well as we mig...
Happy Christmas to everyone from down under and all the best for a safe, happy and healthy 2021
Has anyone else seen this long report of Boro in The Athletic Unfortunately it is behind a pay wall but I was really interested in the article an...
@ofb nice story. What a shame that it wasn’t in the modern era of mobile phones or the sight of you tangoing would be available for all of us.
Definitely worth an appeal. Totally involuntary handball. Slightly harsh penalty even but certainly not a red card.
That's payback for Tavernier's penalty that was disallowed earlier in the season. Morsy was a bit unlucky to get sent off as his arm was underneath hi...
For anyone who doesn’t watch them, I would recommend the NW press conferences that are always posted on mfc.co.uk. The latest is about 20 minutes long...
Is it harsh to suggest that Man City have given up on him and are just happy to see him play somewhere else whether or not he gets much game time. It’...
He will be ideal for any games where we are likely to be dominant (have more than 50% possession?) or for the last thirty minutes when the other team ...
We just about deserved that one but Swansea are a good side. Their manager made some clever substitutions. He brought on a second big forward which me...
@original-fat-bob I’ve just come back to the blog and saw your news. I wish you the very best for a fast and complete recovery.
First half was scrappy but we never looked as if we would concede a goal. Second half, Derby gave it a go and had some half chances. The substitutions...
Interesting team. I'm looking forward to seeing Watmore. I'm curious why NW has only named eight subs. Is he trying to make a point? He could e...
Definitely worth a like 🙂
You make a very good point. It’s hard to imagine NW not being the dominant force at any club. It could have worked with, say, JW as part of the team u...
Finally, some positive comments from a TV commentator. Nice to read. /p>
The leggie that we played didn’t have a bat. You just kicked it as far as you could. The real trick as a bowler was to bounce it so that you couldnt g...
@exmil That seems to be a logical solution but, not knowing the guys, I wonder how much is based on NW as a leader. Anyway, it would certainly be wo...
Wow, that takes me back as a fellow alumnus of Linthorpe school from a slightly older period - I am now 67. Can anyone else remember the leg cricket t...
@plato i certainly agree that he seems to be able to create a group dynamic that is incredibly positive. The two real tests will be 1. to lift the...
@k-p-in-spain I too am very much part of the Bola fan club and have posted to this effect. He looks like a completely different player and I’m curio...
@ofb So is Bola. What struck me is how we are now able to make very good goal-scoring teams look as if they have no idea how to create chances. O...
Very fair report. Apart from that one cross late in the second half, our defensive structure looked really solid and even when Blackburn were tryin...
@ofb it sounds strange but i know exactly what you mean. I can't recall someone making me feel so positive for quite a while.
Good morning from Oz. Just a quick note to remind locals (and Middle East?) that the game is live on BeIn Sport. I have to say that I’d take two p...
Bloody marvelous. That second half performance was the best that I've seen them play for a long time. Bola and Coulson were excellent as were Dijkstee...
@werdermouth You’re probably right. It could even be a 4-3-3 with Coulson and Tav both getting forward on the wings and Saville from midfield. Anoth...
