I think the fringe has receded somewhat - Boro are perhaps more of a mullet this season, rather untidy at the back and bit thin down the sides. Though...

Watched the highlights in which Shrewsbury did appear to look the better side in midfield and going forward. Indeed, two of Boro's goals were gifts fr...

Didn't see or hear the game but appears to have been a typical Warnock one goal victory...

@k-p-in-spain if it's just one camera and limited replays then that is certainly overpriced.

@borophil You must be picking the team this season 🙂 Although I suspect it will be 4-4-2 with Dijksteel as RB and Spence playing in the wide rol...

Team News...

@borophil probably Wood as Warnock has been praising him but hasn't really mentioned Stubbs - though longer term he has been talking about McNair as p...

Reading some of Neil Warnock's remarks in the pre-match press conference it sounds like he'll be fielding a strong side and will probably use all his ...

I read that Fry is now out of quarantine and available for selection but is unlikely to start since he hasn't been training with the squad.

@grovehillwallah I think you've missed out the more likely grumble...

Doesn't look like I'll see today's game unless there is an unofficial stream - though £10 (€11) seems a bit steep anyway. Still no news on a season pa...

That was before the red-trouser gentry fashion statement days - though I seemed to recall he favoured mustard cords...

Thanks Len and your point on 'press release journalism' reminds me of how copy was produced in one of my earlier jobs in publishing nearly 30 years ag...

You just reminded me that there's a game tomorrow - anyway I've just posted a preview thread... Boro v Shrewsbury

Ken, I didn't say I was happy but just that I'm quite relaxed about the transition process - you're quite right to point out the virtues of creating n...

On Assombalonga, seeing a photo of him from the Newcastle friendly, he appeared to me to be much leaner than last season. Maybe he's lost a bit of bul...

Ken, I suspect quite few just don't notice when another thread gets created as they probably refresh the current thread to see the new comments and co...

I think I know when I'm fighting a losing battle 🙂 I know a few have tried to embrace the non-linear discussion forum format (notably Ken, who's ...

I see the Northern Echo have resurrected the Ben Gibson to Boro story again (Middlesbrough's hopes of re-signing Ben Gibson increase) - apparently Bur...

I have to admit that I've never heard of John Crossan - though in my defence he was born the same year as my father in 1938 and his last game for Boro...

I've also heard from GHW that he's had problems viewing the Diasboro site today - I've got no problems viewing from my laptop and have also just check...

Thanks for the tip as while I don't have Safari since I operate on Windows 10, I do however run Microsoft Edge without an Adblocker so decided to chec...

I should add that some online newspapers are almost now impossible to read without an adblocker - I used to read the Independent until recently but th...

Yes, I remember that day Jarkko I got there quite late but saw Clive, Chris from Beverly, KevB, Halifax Pete and NikeBoro as far as can I recall.

John, I'd like to think you are right that well-written journalism will never be replaced by lower quality superficial coverage. However, I think the ...

As usual we're lucky that there is always someone who can analyse and make sense of events and then eloquently put their thoughts into words - Great p...

Cheers Andy, I would be more than happy to see AV blogging again with all his first-hand knowledge channeled into great writing. Although, having re-r...
