Re: Middlesbrough or Norwich

I see that the FA have mis-spelled 'Middlesbrough' on the tickets for the play-off final!

Re: Who...

I agree, some of his rants are unreadable. He was having a dippy about the rail strike when Boro are due to play at Wembley! With his user name I thought he would support the actions of his colleagues!

Peter Shilton

Did anyone see the documentary about Peter Shilton the other night? He admitted that he finally decided to stop after 1000+ games when he’d played for Orient on a very muddy pitch at Darlington. I seem to recall that he was signing autographs at the tin shed end when the game was underway!

Re: Do you support more than one club

Darlo always have been my No.1, however if I had to choose a second team it would be Leeds United. This dates back to my school days, late 60’s early 70’s, when they were the best team in England. I can’t say I ‘support’ them but I do wish they would get back into the top flight.

Please don’t ban Jazz, his abusive retorts often border on being poetic. Like him or loath him his posts keep these boards much more interesting to read (I was going to say enjoyable but this perhaps isn’t the right word if you are the object of his ire).

Re: The 'what music I'm listening to at the moment' thread

One for the old 'uns. Rockin The Fillmore by Humble Pie. I've just got the new 4 CD box set that features all four live shows that were recorded to make what is probably one of the top 3 live albums ever made. In my opinion only Slade Alive and The Who Live at Leeds are better.

I’ve always enjoyed watching the highlights on the Super League show, however recently I’ve taken a fancy to its presenter Tanya Arnold, despite her deep manly voice and possible adam’s apple. Should I be worried?!

Re: Match thread darlo v Harrogate

It is probably easier for Yorkshire based supporters to get to Harrogate than to Bishop. This possibly shows that we need to get back to Darlo for home attendances to improve.

Leeds United, because they were the best team in England when I was growing up - and because their centre forward Mick Jones is my mum's half cousin. The other team is Everton, solely because they were the first team I had for my Subbuteo game. Once I was old enough to go to games on my own, it was ...

Re: Next seasons shirts

Surely at a fan-owned club the style of shirt should be chosen democratically. Hooped shirts are part of the club's identity, as much as at QPR or Celtic.

Lowest of the low

If you were a manager and one of your players deliberately bit one of the opposition, would you continue to play him? Let's see what happens at Liverpool.

Personally I would kick Suarez out of the club.
