The proverbial game of two halves and the setup in the second half and come back proved that this was another missed opportunity in truth. Boro ended ...
Boro paying the price for underestimating Cardiff - trying to experiment and rest players - only one recognised midfielder and thinking Joseph is a ce...
@stircrazy I can only see Malanda in midfield with that line-up - in theory it could be McGree partnering Morris if it's a 3-4-3 with wing-backs bu...
Nothing wrong in dropping in the occasional anecdote about the everyday realities of what is post-Brexit life - decisions always have consequences but...
A football game is perhaps one of the few remaining shared experiences that we can enjoy (hopefully) together. Like many, I now mostly watch TV on dem...
@boro-beckys-dad Tend to think ultimately you're right as no matter how well intentioned a political discussion starts out they never end well. I t...
Great stuff Dormo a thoroughly enjoyable eclectic read, which I read with a cup of coffee - I used to be a tea drinker but since Mrs Werder has had a ...
Before I read Dormo's opener. Just been looking at last night's Championship results and was certainly worried to see West Ham win 6-0 at Lincoln - ho...
Great result last night and watched the highlights this morning and was still unsure if we'd snatch a winner! Thought Brittain was exceptional and cer...
My winning preview run was never in doubt - those cold Tuesday evenings in Stoke are just what I needed 😉 Well, I'm exhausted watching that...
Boro started with plenty of intensity and pressed Stoke well and it took them 20 minutes just threaten the Boro half - thought Berhalter has been a bi...
Well glad to have finally sat down with a beer (I'll raise a glass to OFB and his good wife on their anniversary) after another busy day and now looki...
@simonfallaha Thanks Si and yes that historic contrast which you've done so well in bringing out can be a great perspective to highlight some runni...
@lenmasterman Many thanks Len and of course you're right to point out it was no doubt Tony Pulis who built that reputation of making cold Tuesday e...
With Ayling starting does that mean a back three or somebody pushing up into midfield? Also makes sense to rotate Sarmiento in for Conway and rest McG...
Just to let you know that the Diaboro site has got a slight technical glitch - or rather the hosting platform has encountered a strange problem it has...
@pedro Interesting to see that list of Stoke signings and indicates quite a player turnaround like many clubs including Boro - though can't say I'v...
I just finally sat down with a beer after another busy day, so firstly many thanks to everyone for their comments - appreciated as ever. Indeed, I onl...
@original-fat-bob Thanks and yes quite interesting looking back over what is now nearly ten years of Diasboro - still not nearly as impressive as a...
Just to note that the embedded video in the preview should appear now as discovered some security code added was blocking non-administrators (i.e. eve...
Best wishes OFB and hope they keep you ticking over for many years to come!
@mw-in-darwin The first half was a nightmare to watch online as a half-covered sunny/shady pitch meant the Boro players disappeared in the shadows ...
@jarkko Sounds like your last sentence may have anticipated the theme of my match preview 😉
@jarkko Yes Conway had possibly one of best games down the left for some time - plus teamed up well with Borges who also played some really good ba...
@martin-bellamy Sounds like Stoke are slightly exceeding my expectations - I had them down for relegation in the COTS Challenge... Enjoy your bir...
A good solid hard-working performance as Boro kept their concentration and shape throughout the whole game and Lankshear took his chance when it came ...
