I always think you're best off with a blend of youth and experience, so from that perspective I'd be happy to see someone like Ings in the Boro squad, as apart from Howson, we haven't really had many knarly old pros in recent years - and it shows. Striker is a position where these days you need...

I don't know much about Bitcoin, and I don't have any money - let alone 'investments' - but I do reckon this guy is on the money about economics in general, so when he says bitcoin is a con, I'm inclined to believe him: no lender of last resort This is interesting too - about Trump's Genius...

We're re-watching Mad Men on Netflix. Still a classic, up there with The Sopranos

There's no doubt playing for Carrick was a big draw - both for what he achieved in the game as a player and for his style of management and football. Edwards doesn't have anywhere near that pull and there's no point in kidding ourselves. It's one reason why I didn't want Carrick sacked, but...

Wasn't Edwards on holiday in Sardinia? Could be his wife/family coming to have a look around the area...

Now, here's a fine one. All I remember of this story was that it was always presented as England's lionheart, our honorable butter-wouldn't-melt World Cup winning captain had been framed by know-nothing d**os. Looking back, we can see not only how it was vital this (entirely false) narrative...

'The likes of Middlesbrough'

Globally, there were others preparing the ground long before her, but she was probably the most influential - even more so than Reagan - at espousing and legitimising the doctrine. I earnestly recommend you to read this

Neither is anywhere near good enough (unless we're planning on fighting relegation), but at least Burgzorg can beat a man (then F**k up).

Is this a joke? one of the worst players I can remember - niggly, greedy and basically rubbish. Stole a game for too long here before Carrick belatedly realised just how bad he was. Say it ain't so, Joe!

Excellent point. Whoever comes in needs to build on what he has embedded, evolve his style - otherwise he'll just get players backs up.

Great rant. Are you Irvine Welsh?

Cards on the table, I never wanted Carrick sacked. Yes, I was exasperated by many things last season, especially what seemed like a crucial lack of fight, but as far as I was concerend, the big picture is that Carrick had brought to the club a culture I was eager to buy into, one that contrasted...
