Thanks for the opener OFB and congrats on a thousand Diasboro posts! So another Boro game chosen for international TV coverage and unavailable to st...

@forever-dormo Yes, those vitual reality headsets in the immersive van Gogh exhibition were amazing - I did several rounds in the van Gogh virtual w...

Just been to the new excellent van Gogh immersive exhibition in Bremen this morning, where I discovered that one of his quotes may possibly offer some...

Pretty poor display all round today with very little quality on show - Boro didn't do enough from the start and Birmingham didn't need to do too much ...

Boro started the game the game on the back foot and have struggled to impose themselves in the first half. Birmingham look a bit quicker to the ball a...

Not a huge surprise to see an unchanged team - I might have played Jones or Watmore instead of Hernandez as he didn't really impress last time out - b...

@deleriad Yes, of course my mistake - I only scanned the opening paragraph of the article and saw 'last season' and 'Jonathan Woodgate' and got it m...

@selwynoz I think Boro's midfield in recent years has been quite one dimensional and the arrival of Crooks and Payero has added a lot more possibili...

@original-fat-bob Some interesting stats in that article that probably sum up our displays this season - I've personally found the games more intere...

@original-fat-bob Interesting and surprising article that shows Boro have the same number of points as last season under Woodgate after 14 games - p...

Quick thanks to Andy for another well-written and informative opener that has got me back into the Boro groove ahead of the weekend. I got back yest...

Managed to catch the game on Sky while over in England - Boro looked by far the better side for most of the game and going in at half-time 3-0 wouldn'...

So onward and upwards - another three points that put Boro just three points off the play-offs that really should have been put to bed long before Cro...

@jarkko Sadly it's only the briefest of visits since my unvacinated 11-year old has to quarantine on return to Germany before school restarts so won...

As Andy said, Boro have recovered well from their shaky start and have looked quite a well-balanced team that has offered a threat going forward. Perh...

@k-p-in-spain I think John won't like the sound of that hope bit even if he can still hear you above the noise of his Whale-song CD...

Team News... As expected Pelts returns but Payero and Jones also start!

As far as club statements go, then this one from Newcastle has got be up there... “Newcastle United is kindly asking supporters to refrain from wear...

I haven't really thought much about tonight's game as I've been busy this week preparing for my long-postponed visit to Teesside - two years now since...

@plato Well it's probably more an inflation of asset prices rather than investing in the traditional sense - a bit when someone pays over $100m for ...

Thanks Dormo for those very good and thoughtful posts and I would agree that the rich and powerful tend to look after their own interests first with, ...

@john-richardson Warnock actually has almost damned himself in his critical points of Payero with the line: "...he’s probably played in teams that h...

@k-p-in-spain It was hard work finding an unofficial stream yesterday, I tried quite a few that appeared more dodgy than usual and didn't risk some ...

I have plenty of recollections of quite a few games after January last season being almost unwatchable - though as to which was the worsest is a tough...

@deleriad It must be something of he nature of a poor Championship that if Boro see off Barnsley in midweek then in all likelihood they'll only be t...

Didn't get home until the second half had started after a visit to see Mrs Werder's aunt, who is over from Berlin - I guess I should thank her for mis...

Probably explains why Boro have a soft centre and some can't play for toffee...

@original-fat-bob OK, Crooks would be a gamble in defence but with Bola now injured and the possibility of having just McNair and 36-year old Bamba ...

@deleriad You may well get your back three but there are some reports that Crooks could be one of the centre-backs tomorrow as he has apparently pla...

@andy-r Sporar has more of a niggle but Warnock is not sure if he will play this weekend - god only knows who could fill in if anyone left in defenc...
