I really liked Spence but for whatever reason he has gone backwards this season. He's a player who always seems to be able to be at the opposition pla...

@jarkko Wow - fantastic strike and if it had kept Rotherham up it probably would have become one of those goals that got even better by the telling!...

Good to see Scott Wilson in this morning's Northern Echo has returned to adding some objectivity to the theme of progress... Middlesbrough's progres...

I suppose you can only call this season progression if you're prepared to ignore the second half - any improvement on the results (let alone the perfo...

While I suspect some may think those not convinced with the club's apparent steady progress towards promotion are just being negative but it's hard to...

@k-p-in-spain I'd not heard that line about the kick to Fry's head was the fatal blow to our promotion hopes before but if that's Neil Warnock's mai...

@andy-r Perhaps Scott Wilson is that casual observer and of Diasboro too 🙂 I guess it can't be easy to produce copy on a daily basis as Boro hav...

I was just browsing through the Northern Echo this morning as since taking a break from commenting on Boro, I haven't really been reading any stories ...

So it looks like it was Deckchair Boys nil - Chair Boys three as the season only ended on a high in terms of the blood pressure for those watching. ...

@redcarred btw A quick tip on making an image that you upload visible in your post... Click on the uploaded image link and then copy the url of th...

@redcarred Yes, times have certainly changed - actually I was just looking at when we started Diasboro back in January 2017, Boro had just drawn aga...

@ken Thanks Ken, yes it seems longevity is a dying breed - I suspect the Bosman ruling and the introduction of finite contracts gave players a decis...

@original-fat-bob Finding the right manager to lead a football team appears to be more of a random process than perhaps it is in other organisations...

@andy-r Thanks Andy, I suppose the worst case scenario is that Neil Warnock brings in another bunch of new signings and they don't gel and a realist...

@lenmasterman Thanks Len, I've not really been into football that much so far this year and got worn down by enduring some quite awful displays by B...

@k-p-in-spain I thought I'd take advantage of being in-between projects to post a few end-of-season thoughts with my next gardening restructuring ta...

@selwynoz Yes, I'd agree that it's certainly been a season undertaken in difficult circumstances and all clubs will have taken a substantial financi...

Thanks to Andy for closing out the season with his preview and I'd agree with his point that this season in my opinion has been a missed opportunity -...

@boroexile It's more than possible that Joe Biden had his eyes on getting votes when he took the knee - though I guess he was going to lose many mil...

@boroexile I don't think anybody seriously believes that multi-millionaire footballers are taking the knee to advocate the overthrowing of capitalis...
