Nearly 4 days after – Boro face a lingering remnant of their recent flaccidity at The Hawthornes. Stomped 3-0 as the hosts, at the foot of the table, completed their first ever Premiership double…further penalty for the Digard sending-off. Our track record w/ the appeals process is laughable; a likely financial penalty would further enforce [...]

…to more relegation anguish. More late oversight led to a late Sunderland equaliser as Boro typhooned valuable points yet again. Impassioned rallying cries from skipper Emanuel Pogatetz – clear the air talks between Steve Gibson and Stewart Downing’s contingent… Nothing could outdo a superb low cross from seldom used Roy Keane left-over David Healy that [...]

Match reporting is suspended indefinitely – will resume once we quit playing rubbish football and start scoring fucking goals… Sell Downing to fund a January injection of talent and depth into the squad? Let Gary O’Neil fuck off back to Pompey? Why not give Marvin Emnes a full go? This was a critical opportunity for points prior [...]

Boro remain the scepter for Arsenal…a run of 5 unbeaten versus les hommes de Wenger. Live viewership was impaired due to faffing about with this for a good 30 minutes – we get the broader picture courtesy a late Sunday afternoon replay… Middlsebrough 1 – 1 Arsenal A new look Boro took the pitch, borne not just [...]

Outdone again late on the road – more valuable points dropped. A delightful goal for us with just over 10 minutes left was nullified by a quick following six minutes of hell. The inability to manage a late lead was flagrant once more and Boro continued a slip into the lower stretches of the table. Hull [...]

Mad props to Raul, from Arizona Broadband, for fixing the satellite TV late Friday afternoon…all after flagging him down in the parking lot and begging and pleading. He made a live Saturday morning viewing of Boro/Fucking Barcodes a reality w/ his benevolence – forget the fact the shit went out again later in the afternoon. [...]

The twats @ Setanta laughably had the ‘debut’ of Boro/Bolton broadcast at 145a MST…after failing to abstain from the scores all day, we culled some visual interpretations from Bolton battering Boro 1-3 More misery at The Riverside…a nightmarish start coupled with dull and uninspiring finishing resigned Boro to another humiliating failure. The same shit as before; [...]

It would be criminally easy to salute Tuncay as man of the match. Stewart Downing too. But it was the guy who was loathe to play football such a short time ago. Chris Riggott maintained his top form for another week. Tasked with marking the pacy Gabriel Agbonlahor, the Boro man delivered critical and thoughtful [...]

Kicked down, terrified, sodomized, outclassed…all appropriate in describing Saturday’s debacle at The Riverside. An injury ravaged Chelsea side delivered the most decisive performance of the Premier League campaign to date. No A$hley, no Drogba, no Deco, no Cech, no Ballack, no resistance from the hosts. Compounded by a bizarre squad selection from Gareth Southgate, and [...]
