@martin-bellamy I'm sure both Chris Wilder and Steve Gibson are aiming to be in the Premier League - plus I can't see any player who has already go...

@plato Well if golf is anything to go by, the Saudi Arabia PIF has financed a global golf tour with plans to establish a global professional golf l...

So the lunchtime kick-off has predictably seen Hull concede another three goals and thus send Boro into the relegation zone ahead of tonight's game as...

@ken Maybe we should be worried that Rotherham have the third best defence in the championship and have only lost one game so far - plus having pla...

@plato If success is primarily bought then is it sport? and if that amount spent needed to be successful in a league is not available to everyone i...

@selwynoz I'm all for a long-term plan to allow the manager to build a winning team but there's not much evidence that this season has been built w...

@jarkko I would favour each league having a cap on an actual sum that can be spent, which shouldn't be beyond the majority of the teams in it - oth...

@deleriad I don't really know how you can make any transition between the Championship sustainable (in either direction) while the gap in turnover ...

@exmil Sounds like the replacement for FFP in the Championship is still under discussion with Rick Parry appearing to be looking for a fairer distr...

Thanks Andy for an excellent and comprehensive preview plus equally good bonus post - while I agree with your verdict on what needs to happen and the ...

Interesting and good points on Boro's performance so far this season on and off the pitch. Chris Wilder didn't really get many of his first-choice tar...

@powmillnaemore I was thinking maybe the Frogs Chorus would be more appropriate 😏

@ken It's often the problem when replying to posts, particularly when you disagree with something, as they often don't come across exactly as you m...

Hi Clive It happened after the latest update of the Forum software - I've disabled dislike so there won't be any but I'm working on returning the fu...

The only consolation of yesterday's first-half performance is that I missed the first 20 minutes because I couldn't get the MFC Live feed to work - th...

Unbelievable, Boro just let the Cardiff attacker walk through the defence while they watched - I think Mowatt was beaten twice without him getting abo...

@pedro As I said I missed the goals but worrying to hear more mistakes in midfield have led to them - not seen much evidence that Boro are going to...

Had problems getting the live feed to work on the MFC site - finally got it working to see Boro already 2-0 down after 20 minutes!! If this doesn't ge...

@ken All I can say is that we differ on our view on what the monarchy represents to us individually and I've never felt any personal bond with the ...

Team News... So Wilder brings McNair back after injury and McGree continues as the number ten behind Muniz. Roberts continues in goal but Steffen st...

Thanks for the match preview OFB and a thorough examination of tonight's opponents Cardiff, who are surely there for the taking. Indeed, I'm more than...

Just to add something reported this morning on the policing of football games, including next weekend... A Metropolitan police statement at the week...

@k-p-in-spain Yes I mentioned that was the reason for possible postponements next weekend in an earlier post and it's probably more likely for a ga...

Just a brief word on football, given the state funeral will now be held on Monday 19 September, which will also be a Bank Holiday, I would see no reas...

@ken These days politics in real life has become probably more far-fetched than fiction so who knows what could happen. Michael Dobbs did of course...

@exmil It is indeed not a simple task in deciding who and how a head of state would be appointed in place of the current established system of the ...

@ken I don't think any of Boro's fixtures after this weekend will be postponed as I believe games will resume again. The FA are only looking at the...

@ken In some ways,like your friend, the Queen has already had her living memorial three months ago with the Platinum Jubilee where her life was cel...

@malcolm The Football Supporters Association agree with you on that point and given other sporting authorities have decided to continue with their ...

Many thanks to Andy for another excellent match preview but I suspect given the death of the Queen the football programme this weekend is likely to be...
