    Worst jobs

    Working in an abattoir has to be up there. I’ve got a friend who got a job in one when he finished school at 16. He’s in his 50’s now and hasn’t eaten meat since.

    Really looking forward to the Euros now

    Sure I read today/yesterday that it’s been agreed that countries will have squads of 26 rather than 23, so you’d expect us to not have to choose between say Palmer and Maddison.

    So if we have to sell one player in the summer...

    Ayling, Greenwood, Thomas and O’Brien will all return, although we might look to sign all of them. Hackney, Forss, McGree, Dieng and Glover could all leave, as has been speculated, not to mention McNair is out of contract. Dijksteel will be off too. Howson will probably be offered another year...

    So if we have to sell one player in the summer...

    For all of the not wanting to have to make wholesale changes by recruiting a load of loan players last summer, it looks like we're going to have another squad overhaul.

    Ayling wearing a red and white jacket on the pitch

    Did Greenwood have a Boro tracksuit on?

    Dijksteel, O'Brien, Thomas, Silvera

    Unpopular opinion, but I don’t mind Greenwood. There’s definitely a player in there and if we can get him doing what he did at the SOL then he’ll be a good player for us. That is if we end up signing him of course. People forget that he’s still only 22 and Carrick obviously sees something in him.

    Dijksteel, O'Brien, Thomas, Silvera

    I thought O’Brien and Thomas did alright. Dijksteel was dreadful, but has hardly played. Silvera is just shïte. Not good enough. Low risk signing that hasn’t paid off.

    Forest tweet

    They’re claiming that they raised the VAR official being a Luton fan, and at the same time calling out his/her integrity. It all feels a bit sour grapes, but we’ve had enough bad officials over the years, regardless of their affiliation to other or rival clubs. There’s not much you can do...

    Dads Army

    Agreed. The episode where Mainwaring’s twin brother shows up and he is an alcoholic is brilliant.

    Great comedy that I watch over and over again. There’s not many modern comedies like that, probably only The Office, Peep Show and Detectorists.

    Matt Le Tissier

    Alan Moore has spoken openly about his struggles with mental health and how he nearly killed himself. I don’t think it’s fair to compare him to nutjob.

    Spooky coincidences

    I went to university in Nottingham and the lad in the next room to me (from Southampton) had his best mate visit for a weekend on the lash. He went to uni in London and it turned out he lived in the next room to my best mate from home (Boro). Blew our minds at the time and we all thought it was...

    The Hillsborough disaster happened. I'll never forget that day. RIP to the 97.

    Iran launches military drones at Israel

    Iran have said that’s their retaliation done and dusted. Let’s see. I can’t see Israel leaving it at that.

    Players who signed for us but made ZERO appearances

    About 7 minutes at Anfield. His only contribution was getting booked.

    Greenwood on Inside Matchday v Hull

    My niece was mascot against Swansea and out of all the players Greenwood was the one who made a real fuss of her. She won’t have a bad word said about him now. Fair play to him I say, he made her feel really special and she can’t stop talking about it.

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

    We look a shambles at the back again. We hardly conceded when playing three CB so why change it? Diabolical.
