    Alex Bangura

    According to this, Bangura is the fastest left back on FIFA 23. Obviously a computer game is not real life and a lot more is required to be an effective footballer than just pace; nevertheless, it’s given me a slight bit of hope through this despondent international break that he may be a slight...

    Woodgate remaining in some capacity

    We sold him for good money. Spurs got the equivalent of a decent season out for him before he was injured for the next 2 years; so, in retrospect, it was a decent business decision as we’d have been paying out his expensive contract while he was inevitably frequenting the treatment table.

    Woodgate remaining in some capacity

    To be fair I think he is more the number 3 than the number 2 in the management hierarchy - below Danks (judging from the number of pitch line conversations has with both) - but that’s not to say he isn’t still having a good impact.

    Car sale advice needed

    Depends on the condition of your car. I had a 2013 Micra with just a month left on its MOT with 2 pages of advisories - it was a month from being a write off because it was certainly not going to pass its MOT without a lot of work, and the dealership still offered 2 grand for it without even...

    New parkrun Record

    I set my PB here too although not quite 15 minutes! It’s a great flat course for those who like to do a bit of Parkrun tourism.

    Clear off Wilder

    Whatever the result and our position in the table, I’m sure Wilder will say always our team is ‘well coached’.

    One of these days we are going give some one a pasting

    I’m fairly sure Robbie Keane said more or less the same thing back in the last ‘league table is lying’ era.

    McGree McGree

    Come to think of it Blondie songs work well as terrace chants. Here is one that will never catch on that would have been useful around 2016. Once we loved him cause he was class But when he came back he had a heart of glass Seemed like the old Stew only to find He’d only pass sideways and behind.

    McGree McGree

    Love it. ‘If he plays’ is my favourite line. Can you add the chorus. Might go down well in the obligatory away game concourse mosh pit.

    Muniz leapfrogging McGree after the goal

    He’s got some serious spring on him. I also noticed he did an almost impossibly high leap for a header at one point during the game. He punched above his weight with their central defenders.

    Well thats put to bed the Mogga unbetaen run over us

    Pleased for the lad. He’s hopefully played himself back into form and sent a message to Wilder. You could see his confidence growing as the game went on. Not a perfect performance - a few aimless passes and a mis-control in the first half - but he was in the right place to clear danger so many...

    Middlesbrough: Chris Wilder discusses Rodrigo Muniz signing [Echo]

    So Wilder thinks Muniz will provide ‘“presence, power and a focal point”. He’s 5 ft 10 with a fairly slight build by the looks of it. Don’t get me wrong, I hope he is a great player for us but ‘presence’ and ‘power’ are not the adjectives I would most think of to describe his playing style...

    Oh Hoppe day

    His chances of getting some regular game time to get him into the US World Cup squad seem pretty hoppe-less if we sign 2 more forwards. We might be better loaning him out before the end of the month rather than putting him into the U23s.

    Club Statement on Pitch Invaders

    Just out of interest did the board exist in 2006 when a fan ran up to throw his season ticket at Steve Mclaren after a 0-4 defeat? Did this fan attract the same level of vitriol or did the poor result on the day redeem his actions...

    * F.A. Cup 4th Round: Manchester Utd v Middlesbrough. Match-day Thread *

    Good call. It must be at rock bottom if he is willing to let 3 centre defenders (not known for their technical ability) go ahead of him in sudden death.

    WBA appoint as new manager...

    I agree. Bournemouth have significantly improved their squad in January, West Brom are likely to improve in the short and medium term: a guaranteed top six finish is now looking a little bit more challenging. Hopefully Mowbray’s team will have their usual second half of the season slump and...

    The Verve - Urban Hymns

    Bittersweet Symphony would still be a great song just backed by strumming chords on an acoustic guitar. While the sample instrumental does enhance the song considerably, Ashcroft deserves a lot of credit for turning it into a great song that far surpasses its source material.
