Another excellent preview Len that has a great feel of telling a story with a few plot twists and unexpected turns - the question is whether it will h...
@martin-bellamy The paradox of the less and fewer argument is that it doesn't have an opposite equivalent - with the distinction being fewer is use...
Just to add on the grammar of football teams - if someone asked you "how did Middlesbrough get on yesterday?" - since you would never say "it won 2-1"...
@forever-dormo I suppose it may feel to many outside Teesside as an injustice if Boro were to win the play-offs given the huge gulf in performance ...
@forever-dormo Very good and amusing too - as someone who hasn't really spent much time studying English grammar (which certainly put me at as disa...
@jarkko All the more annoying that Boro didn't turn up at Swansea as we should be in the top six now!
Pity Bristol City got a last minute equalizer at Sheffield United 🙁
I lost the feed for 10 minutes in the second half only for it to return as QPR scored - if certainty made for nervous last 15 minutes and especially t...
Fantastic goal from Dijksteel 🥳
Btw on the grammar issue - I think football teams are group nouns so are plural - Boro are winning 1-0 at half time. Other group nouns Family - my...
Only saw the last 20 minutes but Boro look to be playing with more energy and intensity and are on the front foot - though QPR nearly got back into th...
@stircrazy back four as expected but not sure how the front four will line up - Iheanacho isn’t really anything other than a striker even though he...
@k-p-in-spain I think Boro are definitely outsiders for a top six spot - Coventry look certs and both West Brom and Bristol City have both only los...
@clive-hurren You'd expect a reaction from the players on Tuesday - especially at home in what would effectively by season-ending if Boro fail to w...
@jarkko That typo made me laugh out loud when I read it - a classic malapropism that somehow summed the defensive problems this season 😉 ...
Many thanks Jarkko for the preview with very good analysis with your usual positive twist - Boro will certainly need a big improvement on Swansea to h...
I think Carrick may be a bit deluded if he thinks that performance yesterday was a “one-off” - we’ve seen too many of these performances this season a...
@pedro I think we saw the full folly of the January window in that game - plus the odd decision by Carrick to leave Burgzorg, who was until he was ...
An error-strewn performance from Boro who looked anything but a coherent team against a poor Swansea side who simply knew that Boro couldn't hurt them...
No sign of Boro playing like a team in the second half after the subs - don't understand why Burgzorg hasn't come on yet?
Just checked, he's 26 and today is only his 3rd Championship game - so I am definitely old in comparison 😉
Iling-Junior on at left-back for Giles?
Unbelievable - Carrick makes 2 subs but keeps Whittaker on and takes off Forss instead!
Boro were a disjointed mess in that first half and failed to pass the ball or keep hold of it - Whittaker the worst offender and if he stays on the pi...
@pedro I wish Whittaker was anonymous...
Poor game with Boro playing terrible - can't pass the ball - Whittaker needs to come off as he's probably given the ball away 7 or 8 times already - i...
@exmil That's certainly a blow - I was expecting Doak to be back in training this week but it seems an injury to a Boro player sees them disappear ...
Thanks for another brilliantly amusing read Dormo - while people often say they're going on holiday to recharge their batteries, it seems you're takin...
