What a joke Boro Live is - they completely missed Jonny Howson's arrival on the pitch and instead had an interview with Matt Targett with a graphic on...

@stircrazy No room for Forss on the bench and you wonder when McGree and Bangura are fit and if Boro sign another striker then it will be tough com...

Here's the new look match graphic with the team for today...

@jarkko I had previously calculated Boro had 24 players who needed to be registered (i.e. over 21 at 1 Jan 2024 or a loan player) - Since then Matt...

If you overheard someone in a pub on Teesside say "I've a Panda for 5 million" then you'd probably tell him he's wasting his time as nobody's got that...

@rich-llewelyn-evans Yes on his day Azaz looked a world beater and he had that 12-game spell in Nov-Dec in 2024 where he scored 8 and made 7 assist...

@malcolm Good to hear from you again and I hope your treatment has helped with your illness - take care and I'm sure a long break in Turkey will as...

@presidentjump I was previously an advocate of bringing in Jayden Danns so if he’s strengthened his body then would be an even better option - look...

@exmil Sounds promising and while reports are a bit vague with 'the club' being referred to instead of 'Middlesbrough' it does sound like a deal is...

@lenmasterman I'd be very surprised if both Utd ditch Amorin after spending close to a quarter of a billion this summer on players to fit his syste...

@andy-r I think in recent years the club need to generate around £10m a year to cover running costs so I'm not hopeful that there's much change lef...

@paulinboro I think it may still depend on which PL club makes an offer as I don't imagine Hackney will want to be back in the Championship next se...

@presidentjump I suppose they could have told Ipswich what they have now reportedly told the Echo, that Hackney is not for sale this season - thoug...

@powmillnaemore It could be argued that Boro’s recent statement that Hackney is no longer for sale is simply designed to increase the asking price ...

Of course selling Azaz means that the club don't need to sell Hackney - however, there is a complication if a PL club makes an offer for him - the clu...

@pedro I'm not sure if we could enforce Man City's buy-back clause on Hamilton 😉

Further to those childbirth statistics... I was just thinking about those numbers again while washing up after dinner (as you do) as 5 out of 7 didn...

@k-p-in-spain £15m sounds a decent fee for a player while can be very good on his day can also disappear if he doesn’t get into games. At least t...

I guess statistical probabilities are just another means to measure performance or assess expected outcomes - xG is just the computer's numerical equi...

Talking of Typical Boro - Danny Ings has just signed for Sheff Utd - hopefully Steve Gibson didn't give too much away when he was sat next to him in t...

@andy-r I wonder if xG takes into account the player the chance falls to as some always seem to lose composure before shooting - if so I would imag...

Many thanks Andy for another great headliner with excellent analysis of both Boro under Edwards and the Blades without Wilder. Just goes to show how c...

@presidentjump Welcome on board to Diasboro! I just noticed late yesterday evening you'd registered as I need to approve your first 2 posts (otherw...

@pedro Yes it's only essentially the current year (1985 + 40 = 2025 or simply just 85 + 40 = 125) minus your age - so only works 100% on new year's...

@martin-bellamy I think you need to drink another half 😉

Before you think I may have gone deliriously optimistic, it's probably just the 85 pints talking that OFB suggested we had in the pre-match poser
...

So Boro's tough opening fixtures continue to be skillfully negotiated with just a game against the would-be automatic promotion contenders Sheff Utd (...

Funny old game - Boro started well and maybe should've scored a couple but Norwich were the better side after 15 minutes as Boro looked to have proble...

Anyway, looking forward to watching the game despite it being a beautiful day in Brussels 😎 😉

@stircrazy Certainly looks a much stronger bench now!
