Boro are beginning to appear like a team in a permanent state of transition with a huge overhaul every summer that predominantly signs projects and pu...
Selwynoz I stopped taking the EFL Cup seriously several years ago as nearly all the Championship clubs have been fielding under-strength sides in th...
Perhaps Dael Fry may be at peak value while observers remember how he nullified the threat of both Kane and Ronaldo in the cup. An indifferent season ...
Went to Venice for the day so didn’t hear about the game until after the fat lady had sung, jumped on a gondola and eaten her Cornetto. Not the perf...
I got a bit worried when I read on Newsnow that promising youngster Isaiah Jones was facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to injury - though af...
I think ultimately the decision to limit taking the knee is the right one as it has turned into a ritual rather than an active decision to make a stat...
Very good season opener Andy and while another point would be welcome, Boro could do with all three as playing catch-up is always tricky in the Champi...
No Wi-Fi but just about get one bar mobile reception at certain times of the day - so have been forced to spend most of the day on the beach and swimm...
Selwynoz Have a speedy recovery and take it easy - plus enjoy watching the football!
Philip If the club want it t be known that they're willing to listen to offers for Watmore then you would think they'd be more public than leaking i...
OFB Yes Tav has left the building, so we move on[wards] and hopefully upwards - can't blame him for wanting to try his luck in the PL, who knows if ...
David Hope the Covid stays mild and you're back to match fitness soon - plus hopefully the Boro admin gets sorted too!
PaulinBoro Yes I'd agree with most of that but the club statement said that Chris Wilder wanted to build his team around Tavernier but MFC claimed t...
Exmil There does appear to be some uncertainty about Tav's existing contract and whether it had two years left or just one - though if it was just o...
The statement from the club that Chris Wilder wanted to build his team around Tavernier but it was the player who forced the move doesn't quite add up...
While we may have a fairly good First XI, the problem as I've mentioned before is it's on average a game every four days until the November break for ...
Jarkko I'm also surprised at the reported Tav fee of £10m plus £2.5m in addons - this doesn't sound to me like the kind of ridiculous offer that Bor...
Selwynoz I think you may be right about perhaps McNair being more of a midfielder this season as I can't see any logic in keeping Dijksteel on the b...
Philip Reports do suggest Boro have made a £2.5m bid for Hoppe - who is yet again another gamble on a young striker needing to reboot his career. L...
PaulInBoro Indeed, but usually when things were not going well and quite often before he was dismissed! What is harder to quantify with Tav is to ...
Gazette now reporting that Marcus Tavernier is due to have a medical and has played his last game for Boro - worrying development given the lack of ar...
Thanks OFB for your excellent and very thorough opening-day match preview - early doors it certainly is with perhaps a lot more coming late through th...
Martin I didn't catch any of the Women's Euros in the group stages but have watched most of the quarter-finals and yesterday's semi. I've been impre...
Good post Len and I suspect Wilder and Scott may be on the same page but perhaps not the same book (Old Testament and New Testament?). It seems Sco...
Deleriad Muniz is essentially another gamble and has barely played since January with just 132 minutes of Championship football over 11 games (avera...
The problem with this Qatar World Cup impacted season is that it's preloaded before the mid-November break with essentially half the season's games be...
Reports suggest Muniz will arrive on Teesside for a loan move to Boro once Fulham have signed a replacement striker - probably a player in the Balogun...
Hannibal sounds like the kind of young hungry player that could add some bite to the midfield - though will he have the appetite for the Championship....
Martin I've yet to see any young footballer that reminded me of me at that age but I was definitely lacking drive and determination - not to mention...
Andy In reality, Akpom probably only played because Wilder had so few options - looking at the others on the bench Smith, Bilongo, Finch, Gibson, Co...
