    Ravel Morrison

    Just saw this story about Ravel Morrison and I really don't know what to make of it, other than to shake my head. The lad had all the talent in the world, but simply didn't have the mental wherewithal to adjust to the privilege and expectations of the role. This incident with the blue badge is...

    A great video for our defensive coaches

    I am sure they are pulling their hair out with this, but other teams must be identifying and targeting our inability to close down on the edge of the box. * Credit Matt Rowney on Twitter https://x.com/Matt_Rowney/status/1720894934167835088?s=20

    Dael Fry - winger!

    I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but what a fabulous bit of unexpected wing play by Fry. Totally wrong footed the defender with the turn and whipped a perfect cross in.

    Free Agents

    Saw this posted on Twitter earlier - not sure if it is up to date but any players here we should be looking at? Have I been kicked in the head by a horse, or would Phil Jones do a decent job at Championship level? Tuanzebe?

    Nathan Wood and sell on fees in general

    This is one that will divide fans I am sure. When I first saw Nathan Wood play age 16 or so, I remember saying on Twitter that I thought he would go on to to be the next Boro player to be seen in an England shirt - I thought he had all the attributes to be top class. Things didn't work out for...

    Alex Pritchard - leaving Sunderland

    Surprised they would let him go - talented and experienced but something not working. Doesn't fit our model but will be a good addition for someone in in Championship

    Jonny Howson

    Showed in 15 mins what we have been missing. Really hard to put your finger on what he does so brilliantly, but he just makes us tick. He creates tempo and shows that 'energy' is not all about lung bursting runs, but can also be short little pass and moves. He always checks his shoulder, 99%...

    Aaron Ramsdale article - worth a read

    What a tremendous article by Aaron Ramsdale - really thought provoking and very moving. I didn't know much about him previously but what an eloquent (if rather long) and intelligent person he comes across as. So much writing on football is just filler, we don't get any insight - this is quite...

    Championship Ins and Outs

    Always interesting to look at where other teams are in the Championship window. It is all too easy to look only at what we are doing and panic a little, but looking at the ins and outs below, very few teams really stand out as having had a fantastic transfer window and I think like most clubs...

    Britain's Unofficial Egg Eating Champion

    This popped up on my Twitter feed via the BBC Archive the other day. Bob Irwin, who was a 16 stone steel worker - is he a Teessider? Trying to work out from his accent. I love this type of thing. It was from Nationwide I think - the BBC needs to get back to quality reporting like this. I...

    Next year's Championship

    I can't help thinking for a lot of teams in this year's Championship it really is an important year to try and guarantee you go up (stating the obvious I know). When you look at the bottom 6 in the Premier League, there are some big clubs likely to drop down - I think next year's Championship is...

    Points won from losing position

    I saw a table saying we have won the most points from losing positions in the Championship. The resilience and calmness under pressure is something I don't recognise from any Boro team previously. Carrick and co have worked wonders on our self belief. Attitude AND abiliteh. Now to move us on...

    Pretty much all positive - it's a great time to be a Boro fan

    Dan Barlaser

    I know it was a brilliant time to come on the field but, my word he isn't lacking in confidence. Looks a very, very good footballer. What a lovely feeling to finally have 3 superb players in centre mid - how long since we could say that? Could be a crucial signing as we close out the season.
