Never again mentioning the miserable failure that facilitated relegation, but rather looking forward to the challenges of the Championship – a rebuilt Boro begins now: Redcar-born centre half David Wheater commits his future to Boro, despite the drop – fantastic news until an inflated offer from most likely Liverpool or Spurs comes in He deserves his own [...]

The saddest episode came in the last 10 mins or so – Tuncay began barking at the bench, then his teammates, notably Adam Johnson. The discord amongst this disparate lot was abundantly evident – poor body language, a sheer lack of desire, an absence of hustle… The speculation of an off-season purge is rampant – but [...]

The fulcrum is under additional pressure after the goalless draw w/ Fulham – off the pitch troubles now conspiring to compromise Boro’s top flight priviledges.

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; [...]

Coping with another missed opportunity and flagrant late-match discipline. 8 points and counting left at away grounds; Anfield, Fratton Park, and now Ewood Park…Boro seemed poised for recovery after their last humiliating performance. But there would be no repeat like at Wigan, pilfering all 3 points…a late Benni McCarthy header resigned MFC to a gutting [...]
