    Losing to the dross

    It's actually more than 36 points as for example we took 1 point out of 6 against Rotherham, i.e. 5 dropped points. Haven't worked it out exactly mind.

    Pace

    It's not impossible we'd take Archer on a loan deal with a commitment to buy at a Premier League type fee if we get promoted. Imagine there will be a lot of competition but if he was to drop back to the Championship, we'd have to be in first place for his signature

    The rain in Spain.

    On the other side of the coin I'm in Tanzania this week where normally the rains last from March till mid April. Due to El Nino, they're still going at some rate and half of Ngorogoro National Park was inaccessible today, while people have been dying in Kenya due to flash floods. Weather...

    Euro 2024 tickets

    If it's on 1st July I'll be in Duesseldorf with my lad (not got a ticket, but we've got them for the day before in Cologne) and have a spare room at the 4* Fritz which I can let you have for a decent price if interested.

    Jamie Vardy

    Definitely would take him. However he lives in the Midlands and can't see him wanting to travel to Boro - it's a hell of a round trip to watch the games let alone train multiple times a week!

    All inclusive family holidays...portugal...go!!!

    So, the classic place Brits in Portugal go is the Algarve (and I most recently went in February). It's warm, friendly, the beaches are stunning (check out the Praia de Felesia, which is amazing) and the quality of accommodation is generally high, but, it is for the most part not very authentic...

    Leeds losing again

    Ipswich have Hull away then Coventry away, who (at least at the moment) have a mathematical chance of making the playoffs. It's most likely second place will go down to the last game.

    Really looking forward to the Euros now

    Reposting that I have some very good value hotels (sometimes as low as half the price you'll see online) for mostly the knockout games, having booked them in advance. Most are 4*, so not cheap, but good value. Mostly one nighters, but two nights in Hamburg for the quarters and Berlin for the...

    * The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Leeds United [04/24] Match Day Thread *

    Howson was excellent. Has that ability to make the right decision in every situation and looks like he has the engine of a 26 year old not 36

    * The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Leeds United [04/24] Match Day Thread *

    I don't know, Lath with two super and very different finishes again. He's such an unusual striker but it's really effective

    * The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Leeds United [04/24] Match Day Thread *

    While the romantic in me would like Ipswich to go up, thinking selfishly of next season we would be best served by Leicester, Leeds and Southampton being promoted. We look like we've got a team, with a few key additions, that could really challenge next season

    Well, it's certainly a good game! Great goal from Lath there - knew exactly what he was doing

    Greenwood and Silvera

    Not saying that either of these players will get to this level, but Hamer didn't pull up any trees first season at Cov. Last year I thought he was the best player in the division (even better than Gyokores). Both Greenwood and Silvera have, due to injuries, played far more than would have been...

    Maddo constantly criticising Engel

    One of the differences is that earlier in the season, the defence were making mistakes and the opposition were punishing them (sometimes scoring off their only chances of the game). We were all scratching our heads thinking 'how did we lose that?' It seems we've reverted to an average amount of...

    * The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Hull [04/24] Match-Day Thread *

    Azaz isn't quick but is clever and will turn out to be a very good player for us. Reminds me a bit of Swift for West Brom in that he can put his foot on the ball and pick a pass. Nice goal too.

    * The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Hull [04/24] Match-Day Thread *

    Funny, they look a completely different team to the one that were incredibly fortunate to beat us in Dec. Shows what a few decent loan players can do

    Draw helps neither team really, but playoffs still on by a thread which wouldn't have been the case had we lost
