Many still haven’t recovered from the bollocking @ Bolton…and once more a massive/cup final/insert-your-own-footballing-hyperbole-here opportunity for improvement in the quest for top flight renewal. Hull City travel to Teesside themselves looking to avoid further retardation - a sizzling start by Phil Brown’s charges has abated severely, languishing w/ their next opponent about the foot of [...]

An isolated ray of sunlight bathed Boro this week – relocation to cultural and fashion relevance…adidas will outfit the club for the next four years, appeasing the young supporters and soigne set alike. Errea kitted us for the past 15 years, but incredulity governed that reign – dodgy quality and abhorrent customer service plague the [...]

‘The only way we will get results is if they’re behind us and not against us…’ Purlers like that used to come from his boot, and now they emanate from his gob…Stewart Downing has the panacea for all of Boro’s relegation ills. The temerity. Invective rained on the Teessiders as they exited the pitch at [...]

The vitriol is now flying from both directions. An open attack on supporters from the club, in reply to their collective vocal assessment of the effort on display during the recent ‘Cup final’ v Pompey. They chanted, ‘we’ve only got one player’, a glowing plaudit to the only one they believe to give a fuck, [...]

They finally did what we wanted them to – in honourable fashion nonetheless – departure from the last distraction that was shielding the push to league safety. Refresh, re-organize and re-focus for the final quarter of the campaign…tattoo it on their foreheads. Get that glorious vista where you can say, ‘Yeah, we made it…’

Sophisticate extraordinaire Jarvis Cocker crooned about that old black magic…you only get to stay one day. A couple days in Boro’s case, before crashing back to Earth in north London, a proper 4-0 tonking courtesy of Spurs. The short run of form and cautious optimism resultant from successive 2-0 wins ostensibly was an aberration. Boro were [...]

I was at my wit’s end Things were looking black It was getting pretty obvious I was never coming back I threw open window And I stood out on the ledge When the sweetest sound I’ve ever heard Pushed me back from the edge Boro is bouncing again. Back from the precipice, advancement in the FA Cup over West Ham juxtaposed w/ the [...]

Demonstrations Of A Defeatist Attitude – it’s the working title of the unauthorized biography ghost penned by scores of Boro supporters who’ve had enough of the lies, rhetoric and bombast. While on the fast track to relegation, your gaffer publicly lauds an incredulous tackle from an erstwhile club starlet, on one of the few signings [...]

FA Cup finality eluded – profligacy at its best…Boro squandered opportunity after opportunity to net an unwanted, and unneeded, extra fixture amongst the labyrinth to Premier League safety. And to allow an equaliser in that fashion, again…pitiful. Alves was effing garbage. Good scoring opportunities could’ve been great ones – Didier Digard wonderfully winning a midfield ball [...]

Marlon King’s alleged sex crime… Candid afternoon reaction and discussion: Gunner 71: subject – so he can attack? http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/feb/12/marlon-king-football-assault-charge Sightsee MFC: I was waiting all day for that… Gunner 71: u got it 4 seconds after i read it… Sightsee MFC: but seriously, realising there is a timeframe for these things to manifest, how do we not query the player/agent [...]
