Well I missed the whole sorry episode yesterday evening as my laptop has been behaving strangely and like Boro in the Carabao Cup was looking like it ...
@martin-bellamy Well call me old fashioned but there’s never a bad time to assert your sexuality if you’re sharing a ward with 5 complete strangers...
@original-fat-bob Glad that’s finally been sorted - that’s just over £11m - depending how achievable the add-ons are. Decent business for a player ...
@john-richardson sounds a nasty one glad the meds have got it under control and you’re on the road to recovery!
Great stuff Clive - especially for giving us the low down on Donnie - I hadn’t realised they were probably one of the sides to avoid at the draw! I ...
@pedro At least he’ll stop McGree getting lonely… Btw what happened to McGree - last time I heard he came off because he felt a bit tight on the ...
@stircrazy I expect nothing less from one of my underachiever tips 🙈
Thanks for the match review Andy - I was only following the BBC live text but thought it was broken as there didn’t seem to be anything being reported...
@stircrazy 🙂 Easily done - I should’ve spotted Kante was missing!
Btw You only have to look at the Boro bench today to see how thin the squad is.
@stircrazy Are Boro trying to trick Swansea into thinking they’ve signed striker Richard Kone or is it another Kone on the bench today?
I shall predict 2-1 to Boro on the grounds we really need the win today - though much will depend on having a good start and taking the iniative. In...
@lenmasterman I hope you’re right Len as if Boro get it wrong tomorrow then they’ve got a reasonable chance of going into the first international b...
Peter’s probably right - how scared should we really be of Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton? They only managed a dozen wins between them last season...
@philip-of-huddersfield Yes I suspect the squad will ultimately be finalized with last minute loans. Boro have essentially lost control of shapin...
@pedro Nothing to suggest Geldhart is the answer to any of Boro’s attacking problem - his last 3 seasons saw him a peripheral figure at Leeds with ...
Still, rotten luck for Maddison being ruled out for the season with an ACL injury - especially as his contract expires in 2027 so will probably sold b...
@lenmasterman Yes all the way up to the 3rd international break Boro play all the teams I’d place in the top 10 - plus 3 of the 4 teams who may str...
@paulinboro Surely McGree is a like-for-like replacement 😏
@lenmasterman Yes that’s how I read it as when both the local media outlets have exactly the same story then it’s not journalism but a narrative pu...
OK, here are my selections for the COTS Challenge... TOP 6: Ipswich, Leicester, Southampton, Norwich, Birmingham, Sheff Utd + Options: Millwall, Wat...
@Philip-of-Huddersfield The last thing we need is another below par manager…
First 10 Fixtures Sat 9 Aug: Swansea (H) Sat 16 Aug: Millwall (A) Sat 23 Aug: Norwich (A) Sat 30 Aug: Sheff Utd (H) Mon 1 Sep: INTERNATIONAL BRE...
It seems the Hackney to Man Utd stories that appeared last Friday have gone quiet - though the reason may be that they may have to sell before they ca...
@jarkko 3-1 would be nice - I have this game down as one of our most winnable of the opening 10 games - though opening fixtures are notoriously dif...
Many thanks OFB for great and comprehensive opener to get us started again on the elusive road to Wembley. I’ll miss the Swansea game as I’m enjoyin...
@selwynoz That’s an interesting point on the Akpom deal ad the original reports linking Boro to Akpom suggested we had offered to buy him instead o...
@paulinboro If that was the wage demands then that was the only case I can recall where the hijackers were held hostage…
@k-p-in-spain I’m not sure if even Baldrick would see the merits of a cunning plan in pretending to try and sign a player by making out you have £7...
@clive-hurren Interesting that the Gazette article by Craig Johns made a point of saying it was Steve Gibson’s intervention to sign Akpom - Johns i...
