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."

Michael Carrick responds to unfair criticism of Middlesbrough players Michael Carrick has hit back at suggestions that his Middlesbrough players lack โ€œpassionโ€ or โ€œleadershipโ€.

I have no idea what it is. I have no explanation. I have no theory. I'm completely powerless.

But it's not that.

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. ๐Ÿ™‚

Those people who say "I'll drive them there myself" when #boro players move on, they need to move on too, for being so trite, I'll drive them there myself.

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.

Ran out of xmas wrapping paper last night and had to improvise a little bit.

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.

Reaching into my pocket for loose change to put into a ladies collection tin that turned out to be her reusable Gregg's coffee cup. I've had all the Xmas shopping stimuli I can stand for one year.

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.

I knew your people, Sean. Your grandfather; he died in Australia, in a penal colony. And your father, he was a good man too.

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.

Bumped into Darragh Lenihan in the lift at the Riverside yesterday. He said he hoped to be back on the grass in January but didn't specify which January. #boro #utb
