    Any links for Arsenal tonight?

    I know, wash my mouth out etc, but just wondered if anyone had a link to the Arsenal match. I’ve had a look - typed it into Google - and can’t find one.

    This is a very hard thread to write

    But I’m lying in hospital having been told that I’ve had at least one heart attack in the past couple of weeks. I’ve been having what I thought was panic attacks most of this year, which seemed to come to a head a couple of weeks ago. I had a really bad one but would never have thought it was a...

    People who use speakerphone in public

    What are they doing? Why, why, WHY are you doing this? I’m in the local for a pint and a read and there’s a man on the table next to me listening to music and videos, flagrantly, full volume, no earphones or headphones. It’s been getting worse over the past few years, I blame Apple in some...

    Tom Kerridge

    Not sure if this has been posted already so apologies if so. I think I’ve read a few people on here saying they like his work. I saw this morning he’s on the latest episode of Grace Dent’s Comfort Eating podcast. He says he used to drink a pint of negroni - A PINT! - followed by two pints of...

    Why bother naming the youths on the bench?

    Week after week after week we see a handful of youngsters named on the bench. They never come on. Even with the first team decimated by injuries and treading water in the second tier. What’s the point in making them pack up their kit and travel to matches if they’re never given even so much as a...

    The locked Boro shop Q&A thread

    I’ve just accidentally clicked on there and saw the last message, which looks like it was added Wednesday gone? It says replica shirt sales this season are at a record high. It caught my attention. When it says record sales, what was the record before and what is it now? Have we really sold...

    The thing about Michael Carrick

    That really stands out above calmness and the level-headedness, is that this is the third time he’s turned around poor form since he joined the club. We’ve seem Boro managers in the past unable to do it even once whereas Carrick just seems to roll up his sleeves and come up with solutions. I do...

    Just been made redundant

    Just like that. Meeting at 12pm, by 5 past it was all done and dusted. A couple of hundred people just made redundant at the drop of a hat. If anyone needs a copywriter with an extensive background in luxury fashion then feel free to hook me up!

    Are all threads about season ticket renewals…

    … ticket prices and club PR going to be locked or deleted?

    Locking down threads?

    I’ve been posting on this forum for around 15 years and have never noticed threads being locked and/closed down like they have been over the past couple of weeks. This is obviously because of the club’s farcical handling of season ticket renewals for next season. I understand that this is Rob’s...

    I am VERY excited about tonight’s game

    This may well come back and bite me on the arsè at 9:40pm but I just have that feeling that we’re going to win tonight. And yes I know I always post stuff like this and have had the same feelings of excitement and positivity before every Boro game since 1991, but I honestly think we’re going to...

    Interesting note from yesterday

    10 of Boro’s starting 11 have arrived at the club since Kieron Scott was appointed. Glover, Ayling, Engel, Clarke, Rav, O’Brien, Barlaser, McGree, Silvera, Azaz. Another 2 came off the bench - Greenwood and Forss. Just thought it was worth pointing out for those who like to keep an eye of...

    Finding old Boro fans you used to sit next to

    I used to sit behind an absolutely sound fella at the Riverside. We sat next to each other at Ayresome Park and then when we moved stadiums they ended up sitting directly in front of us. Is it okay to post names on here, just to see if he posts? Or any of his sons do now. I wonder if he still...

    What happened to Paddy McNair?

    He apparently ‘tweaked his back’ at Leeds United on December 2nd. I think he’s been on the bench once or twice since then? I can’t remember and haven’t checked yet. But it’s interesting that Carrick was playing him every week before his injury and then he’s just out of the picture. Is he still...

    The last time people were posting like this…

    … with such resignation, that the season was over, that we were heading for League One, that Woodgate and Scott and Bausor should be sacked, that the chairman had ‘got what he wanted’, that the team was a mess and going nowhere and incapable of playing out from the back… was around that game at...

    This talk about Brighton’s ‘model’

    There is a LOT of talk around at the moment about Brighton's transfer policy and the 'model' that club runs on. I said on a Morgan Rogers thread that we only really hear about the wildly successful transfers so thought it would be interesting to have a look through their business from the past 6...

    Just for a bit of perspective…

    Boro haven’t won at Stamford Bridge since March 1975. In my lifetime, we’ve never won there. The last time we kept a clean sheet there I was 8 months old - I was glued to the wireless, obvs, as we battled to a 0-0 draw in September 1983. We’ve played there 59 times since 1907 and won 5 times. 4...

    Thomas Glover is extremely dedicated…

    … to passing out from the back isn’t he? Absolutely kamikaze at times. I normally love it but I’m not sure Dael wants in there, with Sterling breathing down his neck. Probably the outright maddest goalkeeper we’ve ever had?

    Two £100m+ midfielders in Chelsea’s team tonight…

    … and Hayden Hackney had more impact on the game than both of them combined. What a gem we’ve got here. The best to come through since Stewy by an absolute mile. Absolute class.
