Button-cute, rapier-keen, wafer-thin and pauper-poor. Boro FC, fine Wine, the Arts, John Prine, everything really.... except Tories. Thinks globally, acts hillbilly.

Does a good Clough story about asking him why he'd been dropped to the 2nd team a month after joining Forest and walking into their firsts.
"Coz you're too good for the 3rd team son."

I'd like to see a few called out. "Go on then son, Jones to Luton, 860 mile 9 hour round trip, 3 or 4 tanks of petrol, take a day off work, knock yourself out, enjoy the atmosphere in the car."
Belated happy 59th, just you n Shirley now in our little Jan 8 gang. 🙂

I boiled my old turkey carcass up and made stew, quite happy to do same with Latte Lath's agent.

I'm sure we're all experiencing some cognitive decline, glad I could fire up some of those old neuro-transmitters.

I'd throttle Lath for giving that needless free kick away on 91 mins after we'd won a throw-iin in their half that gave them possession, corners, free-kicks and attempts on goal for pretty much the rest of the game.

Remember Gareth Southgate getting sacked after a home win with us 2nd top. I guess our standards and our expectations have dropped.

That would be huge progress and with the benefit of a good recruitment team now comes the opportunity to take that to the next level, prem consolidation along the lines of Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham and Forest.

I love this league, the competitiveness, the number of games, we're big fish in it, a season in the top flight would be miserable getting tonked every week but I'm desperate for it, it's a must for the huge injection of cash it'll bring in, we'll come back down but in much stronger position.

Aye, wish we could just effortlessly live in the moment like these 4 legged wonders.

Yes it is, a particularly delicate one and the games decider. I thought the pen decision was harsh on us tho. They didn't create a great deal but reduced us to no chances at all. Nearest we came was a 30 yard shot from the impressive Jack Stott that whistled inches past the post.

Blessed are the cheese makers but every xmas they over produce the cranberry and apricot versions. I think they're awful but can't resist the massively reduced prices they're forced to sell em for in the new year.

Just watched it myself and thought he looked familiar but couldn't quite place him. Great casting, machine gun etiquette, in a guitar case.

Maybe the pressure of captaincy weighs heavy on him, like it's done to so many English cricketers over the centuries.

This full bodied, smooth and fruity Spanish red is my reasonably priced go to at weekends, it's grown massively in popularity in the last few years, only available from Majestic in the UK at £6.99 (if you buy 6) but practically given away in Mercadonna at €2.89.

🤣🤣 its a relief to see the team sheet, just have the unknown of an opposition liberated from a bad manager, bound to turn into Real Madrid knowing our luck. Sorry to be such a worrier, just desperate to get out of this division that I love so much. Come on Boro.

Was there, hitch-hiked as a 17 Yr old from M'bro and took a poster off the wall as a souvenir, said the Riley Smith Hall on it. I asked you who R Totale was, "just a pseudonym for Mark." I'd already asked Karl, he ignored question and just asked if I had any fag's. I didn't have any fag's

Most interesting thing about that for me is the reminder that the editorial address changed for a few months after i moved out while the council modernised with the pure,unadulterated luxury of central heating, such a comfort of when trying to chronicle a winter sport like football.

Well he didn't physically assault this BBC employee who's annoying him so much so that's some kind of progress in his development into adulthood I suppose.

Labour- the party of business and government.
Tories - the party of protest.
Who'd have thunk it. 🤣
