@k-p-in-spain Just watched the incident on the ITVx player and only saw the same camera angles as shown in the highlights and it still doesn't look...

I've watched the replay of the red card many times and I can barely see any contact with Howson's thigh, let alone anything considered as raking - I t...

Here's something to ponder before going to bed - that win has put Boro 10 points behind Hull in 6th and before the international break Boro have their...

Thanks to that red card it turned out to be a comfortable last hour for Boro as they got the goals to retake the lead and then simply used their man a...

@selwynoz I agree about Engel as for some reason he has this propensity to play square infield passes around the edge of the box - he needs to be t...

Yes Boro looked completely short on ideas on how to play against Norwich - they weren't even defending well enough even with an extra defender and it ...

Team News... So it looks like a back three and the team Exmil predicted earlier! Plus Jones is on the bench too!!

If you think the Boro squad lacks pace then maybe this article will reinforce that view when you discover who Crook's claims is the third fastest play...

@original-fat-bob I think Barlaser has made way too many mistakes playing the ball out of midfield to counter the occasions where he's had good gam...

@powmillnaemore After our play-off hopes evaporated, can Boro escape from the depressing black hole and the Championship non-event horizon to avoid...

@exmil I would go with your line-up over the Echo

@jarkko Howson only had a knock so if he’s recovered from that then should be ok. 2-2 is not bad shout given both defences concede on average 1.5 g...

As for having a competitive league system - surely it's the job of the regulating bodies to ensure it has in place rules to make a league a collection...

Thanks Clive for rising well above the occasion ('rising to' would be a low bar) of Wednesday's Riverside clash with your inimitable preview - it's ha...

Just a further point on the game yesterday and the selection of McGree at wide right - presumably this was done to allow him to cut inside on his left...

@k-p-in-spain Apparently RvdB is a talker on the pitch and I did notice him pointing and shouting at other players - unfortunately we don't appear ...

Boro just don't have an outlet without either Jones or Coburn - the only time Boro have won this season without Jones was that 1-0 at Leicester. There...

@pedro Not quite at my fingertips but the 34 games this season and the last 12 of last season add up to 62 points - though those last 12 games of 2...

Looks like Boro are determined have an Exmil Challenge this season! Poor performance and Boro looked clueless on how play together as a team against...

Game over - Boro won't get anything now Stoke are two up - a bad second half performance after an average at best first half!

No real pattern to the first half and few chances by both sides but a couple of scares for Boro with Barlaser passing to the opposition in his own thi...

Team News... Clarke in for McNair and Latte Lath starts as does Greenwood instead of Azaz and Silvera as Boro look to score goals and let fewer in!

@peter-surtees I'm not sure that I was intending to open up a empiricism vs rationalism debate on puddings...

@forever-dormo Len's right on both accounts - Dinner for One is shown every year at Christmas and is a tradition for many people - I had a friend o...

@selwynoz Thanks for explaining how the draft system works with aussie rules but you're probably right in thinking vested interests in football wil...

@martin-bellamy I guess getting annoyed by the abbreviation of 'to cut a long story short' is kind of ironic given that its use is intended to skip...

@selwynoz I guess the only problem with a draft system in football is that academies are club-based whereas players in the NFL draft system are not...

@forever-dormo I can only deduce that either Sky need to start screening live operations to inflate the surgeon market or clearly top surgeons need...

@martin-bellamy I remember reading that the average time a player stays with a Premier League club is just 3 years and just read a study that if yo...

@martin-bellamy Some frightening stats in that article and almost hard to believe how few wins supporters of the bottom six have witnessed!
