14 points off relegation with our next 6 matches versus teams below us all scrapping away!

No! I don’t think we are going down, not for one minute but it puts in perspective how much our season has disintegrated to mid table obscurity & scrappy matches to look forward to!

Very disappointing #UTB

“Durex” v “Ralgex”

Burnley keeper sponsored by Durex! “The ultimate protection” 9 goals conceded!

#Boro (4 keepers) sponsored by Ralgex! “Soothes muscle & joint pain” 39 goals conceded!

39 times picking the ball out of the net - enough to do anyone’s back in!

We need more protection! #UTB

I can’t help continually thinking…

…No one has beaten us this season - every game we’ve lost we’ve beaten ourselves!

I’m disappointed tonight, I’ve always been pro Carrick but I’m wobbling tonight for the first time!

Any one out there can comfort and un wobble me?

Latte Lath potential Atlanta transfer. Rumours reported it’s not happening.

The MLS transfer window doesn’t open until this Friday 31st & is open til 23rd April.

#Boro closes Monday but am I right in thinking he can still sign for them up to April 23rd.

It’s approx 12 week window. (Cont…)

Moyes to Everton
Potter to West Ham

Will it happen? The Premier League managerial revolving door continues! Or does it?

At least we’ve got super Michael Carrick. Stick with him! #UTB

I believe AUDIBLE VAR will be used on TV for the first time tonight in ARS v NEW cup game.

I’m for it! Fans have been treated like mushrooms for too long. Let’s just hear what’s going on!

Whilst I’m on let’s have mic’d up refs and 4th officials. Again let’s hear what’s being said! (Continued)

We deserved that win!

3 points again Saturday please🙏

A positive step by #Boro 👏

Only chance of getting bums on seats for a 12 noon KO after a busy Christmas schedule!

Kids from £5 and reduced adult tickets was the only way forward.

As a patron living in York of many of the pubs mentioned in this article I found this an excellent read!

Also my memory jogged of many a pint drank in the Master Cooper on Acklam Road Middlesbrough in the late 70’s early 80’s.

Grab a beer 🍺 or coffee ☕️ and enjoy the article!

It’s taken me this long to realise Chelsea Manager Enzo Maresca was Man of the Match in the 2006 UEFA Cup Final v #Boro
Scored 2 goals.

That season was incredible. Boro just 1 of 19 teams to play in a major European Final. I was at the game. I knew at the time it may be unique in our history #UTB

Marc Almond brilliant! Can’t believe the last time I saw him live I think was with softcell at the “Kirk” in 1981 😳

Ruby Turner effortlessly class tonight! What a voice!

Feel good stuff 👏

Tough day 2 today for all the field, but at +2 all 4 are capable of a decent weekend & top 10 finishes!

Just 7 shots off the lead ahead of weekend.

They’ll be having some banter in the clubhouse on who’s coming out on top 😂
