    Paddy McNair - Northern Ireland Captain

    I rarely see him have a bad game for us, seen him play very well many times. Look at the stats over the last two seasons for when he plays and doesn't, too much of a coincidence over that many games. We're a better team when he plays.

    British ultrarunner Jasmin Paris is first woman to finish Barkley Marathons

    Same here. I also don't have the physical toughness either!

    Barkley Marathons 2024

    Absolutely insane amount of physical and mental endurance required to do this. 100 miles and the gradient equivalent of running up Everest. Twice! Phenomenal achievement by Jasmin Paris. Only 20 people in history have ever completed the race in 40 years or something? Incredible .

    England v Brazil Boro style

    Yeah I think Wilko got 15 but in all competitions, still good though.

    England v Brazil Boro style

    I'll tell you a really underrated English striker who played for us, Paul Wilkinson. Good target man but he also had a very good goalscoring record especially in his first couple of seasons with us. I think he scored 20 odd in his first year and got 15 or 16 in the Premier League the season...

    Anyone read Craig Johns article on greenwood this morning?

    Rogers had something like 16 goals and assists in all competitions, he also had created more chances than pretty much the rest of the squad put together. He was 4th or 5th for creating chances in the whole division by the time he left. Rogers had done much much more than Greenwood in the half a...

    Tell me something interesting about Middlesbrough…

    The Beatles wrote She Loves You in the back of a van on the way to a gig in Middlesbrough.

    Ben White

    So Ben White makes the decision that he doesn't want to be considered for England but no one is allowed to know? Many times players have decided to retire from international football but this is the first time I've heard of one doing it secretly!

    Bowel cancer

    Whatever the outcome, you've done the right thing getting it checked out. Much, much easier said than done but try not to worry about it in the meantime, but it's always a good idea to vent.

    Good players we have let go and regretted.

    Hignett, did we let him go a free or something? Still had 4 or 5 good years in him.

    No wins this season

    We've not beaten a single team at home all season who were in the bottom half of the table when we played them. I think that's been our downfall, because away from home, or playing the better teams at home our form is top 6. I'd say we've maybe taken 4 points off the bottom half when playing...

    Hull and cov don’t play this weekend

    You keep telling us this, and it's completely unnecessary as we all already realise it's unlikely, absolutely no-one is saying it's likely to happen but that doesn't stop us hoping it'll happen.

    The pressure is off today

    Different kind of pressure I suppose. If we'd lost the last 3 games, pressure would be very negative. Today the pressure is still there but it's positive. We can play with more freedom, but we might have to be patient. Some of our problems at home have come from us being to open at times.

    Fry, Hackney, Coburn and Bangura nearing return from injury

    Amazing how his career has regressed, started and was very good in an FA cup winning team in 2020. Regular for the England U21s, tipped to one day play for the national team...but has been our worst Left Back this season even including Coulson.
