Unbelievable that Boro contrived to lose that game after probably being in a position to score enough goals to win five games if they'd had quality wh...

But for a better shot or final ball Boro could have been out of sight in this game - for all the slick football and good interplay, there were at leas...

Team News... So van den Berg plays as does Dijksteel so a central defence of Fry and RvdB - Jones as expected returns and Rogers makes way with Latt...

Many thanks Dormo for coming down from your mountain retreat and producing another excellent entertaining and informative opener in your very own inim...

@stircrazy I guess it was a low bar today but didn't think Howson was the worse player and tried to drive the team forward plus thought van den Ber...

@malcolm According to those ratings in the Gazette - Howson, van den Berg, Crooks, Rogers and Greenwood were the worse players on the pitch 🤔

Boro simply not good enough today - probably only Clarke, van den Berg and Howson were at the required level of performance needed. The team looked di...

Both sides canceling each other out for most of the first half but in truth Ipswich have had to do very little to prevent Boro creating chances as our...

Team News... Fry returns to defence with van den Berg likely at right-back and Engel at left-back - still no Hackney but Greenwood comes in for the ...

After a week of snow over here the thaw set in last night and is now a balmy 7 degrees so will get a quick walk in before the game to warm up my achin...

OK, don't tell Mrs Werder but I'll be settling down to watch on the sofa with a Leffe Blonde on Wednesday evening😉

@k-p-in-spain Funnily enough I bought a VPN subscription last week after my Sat receiver with hard disk recorder packed up so wanted to watch some ...

@k-p-in-spain I've lost count over the number of German people who have been asking where they can watch the Boro v Hull game next Wednesday - ok I...

@original-fat-bob From my view on the bench I don't mind writing another opener for the Villa FA Cup game - unless of course someone else is keen t...

@exmil It does seem like you may be right about the timeline of the investigation - it's been ongoing for over 4 years and will likely continue for...

@forever-dormo Just for the record, I think I said I wasn't old 😉 As for being 'middle aged' well it seems it's quite subjective - it was though...

@martin-bellamy Congratulations Martin and you're so lucky to already have five grandchildren - unfortunately if my 13-year old follows my example ...

@forever-dormo It would be nice if 'the rules' were applied without fear or favour but call me a late-middle-aged (definitely not old) cynic but I ...

@philip-of-huddersfield I suppose the chances of signing Greenwood on the cheap are dependent on him not having an outstanding season - as is keepi...

@exmil Would seem to be the most likely team if nobody returns from injury given the lack of players left in defence and midfield - though there ar...

Just as an aside on the promotion race this season - there may well end up being quite a lot of pressure on teams hoping to gain promotion this season...

Thanks for another great opener Deleriad - I thought Middlesborough were the typo kings but I feel Gippaswic may have outdone us by losing their openi...

@philip-of-huddersfield Looking at the two goals - the first was a high looping cross where McNair was getting under the flight of the ball when Ja...

@jarkko Are you available to play on Saturday 😏 I think in both cases our defenders were facing their own goal and didn’t react to the forward be...

@original-fat-bob I think defenders often get out-jumped as they're having to do it from a standing position, whereas forwards tend to jump while o...

An odd decision to sack Mowbray given he's had to manage with a young squad without the owners investing much in players - ok it's just 3 wins from th...

Well that was a pulsating game yesterday but sadly only caught the first 30 minutes before having to leave the house - anyway, I've just watched the h...

Crazy but exciting game - unfortunately had to leave after 30 minutes only to see that two more goals have been scored in the first half Not the bes...

Team News... Looks like an unchanged team from the one that beat Preston.

Thanks for another interesting opener Clive - though the only thing I'm going to hate today is that I'll miss the game as our 13-year old is playing i...
