If Curry is your thing get yourself to Asda and buy their Bom Bahia curries . There are about 6 different varities to choose from. In about 40 years of trawling around supermarkets for a curry as good as an Indian restaurant or take-away this range is the best by a country mile ! Each is 400g...

There seems to be a fair few assumptions on here that anyone who has an untaxed vehicle " on a road " deserves to have their vehicle seized. Well lets define " Road " ! Actually it should be " public highway " deemed to be owned by the Hiighways Agency for legal seizures to take place. A few...

I know one thing, I'm bloody excited and cant wait for 10th August to come around . Its a long time since I felt this optimistic ! Then first game Middlesbrough 0 - 1 Plymouth ............... arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! :p

I dont think you can blame the bookies because the odds will have been based on what we did the season before and the likelyhood we would sign more forwards for the start of the season. The fault lies with the Boro recruitment being slow ( as usual ) and bringing in two gambles Rogers and Latte...

Not taking into consideration Luton , Bolton , Oxford, Leeds, Soton, Norwich and W.Brom. you can currently get 12-1 on Boro winning next seasons Championship. Burnley are faves at 7-1 and Sheffield Utd are 12-1 whom I think will be lucky to finish in the top 6 ! Sunderland are 20-1 and the...

Ive never been likened to Brad Pitt but apparently I have an uncanny resemblance to his older brother Cecil or Cess to his friends.;)

It might have been mentioned on here before but theres a really good tv prog from1974 called " Charltons Champions " which was made by Yorkshire Television . Its easy to find if you type " Charltons Champions Yorkshire Film Archive" into Google . It covers the day when the Boro beat Notts...

Now the Cardiff Commentators have said " Cardiff had more of the ball in first half " . Actually they had 48% !

From the overly biased Cardiff commentary " Cardiff were in complete control in that half " ! Not according to the statistics they wernt !

You could put another slant on those statistics :- Greenwood played 37 ( missed 6 ) Silvera played 40 ( missed 3 ) and to some extent Engel played 41 ( missed 2 )

Statistics aside the difference between Jones v Greenwood and Silvera is that Jones has credit in the bank based on what he has done and what he can do over 3 seasons. He's been very average for nearly 12 months but he had proven he was a very good footballer and major asset. He was very good...

id place him on par with Neil Warnocks experiment Toyosi Olusanya who came on in the 66th minute against Blackburn in Sept 2021 , ran 10 yards with the ball was tackled, fell over and was never seen again in the first team. I watched him several times in the under 23's thereafter and he was more...

I once went to a quiz where a question was " What is the name of the only footballer to score in a FA Cup final that is a Palindrome (spells the same backward as forward". ) I answered " Bob " :p It was actually George Hannah for Newcastle in 1953. You never know in a few years it could be Jack .

" Hannah" ? Is that the nickname fellow Boro teamates have given to the Aussie Superstar , Sammy Silvera ? Coined because he plays like a girl :p.

When someone who works as a pundit on what is a very biased local radio station have the guts to say " They are not good enough " ( they have said it twice in the last 2 matches ) , we all really should listen and take note . Its something I never thought I would hear, for obvious reasons. As...

Greenwood has the 3rd most goal contributions in the team after Lathe and Jones... and he's only 21. Greenwood has played 38 games, which is more than any other Boro player other than Engel and Howson who have played 40 games. Its a law of averages if he constantly plays in a forward position...

Between the two of them they have played 75 games this season which I find staggering. Their goals aside they have offered nothing and in many instances they have been passengers. On some occasions id go so far as saying they have been liabilities. Silvera must have lost the ball 7 or 8 times...

3 mins into the second half and hes been knocked off the ball again and hit a pigeon on the 23rd tier of the away stand

On a par with Birmingham. Before we scrored I thought we were playing Brazil circa. 1970. " Brilliant Out of this world, the best, we are stunning, unbeliveable , as good as Pele, just like Messi, best weve played all season, that was a 100% penalty, superb, how good are we.... and on and on...

its close but I can honestly say that Silvera is worse than Greenwood. Both are liabilities and offer nothing. Silvera has either lost the ball or being outmuscled at least half a dozen times this half. He's as weak as pish !
