From Sam Hall on 18 January, 2012
Tony Mowbray's second January transfer window. A time recently associated with the offloading of a large amount of first-team players. However, bucking the trend of the past year, we actually bought a player without selling anyone first. Don't worry though, he isn't an unproven young player from north of the border for less than half [...]

Since I last wrote a piece, the 'Boro have been somewhat Bi-Polar in the way they have played. After winning a thrilling five goal game at the Cardiff City Stadium, we managed a Boxing day knock out of Hull City. Yet then we drew 1-1 with Peterborough, Lost 3-0 and 2-0 to Blackpool and Burnley [...]

It's been an odd season for fans of the Boro. Selling a large amount of first team players, yet still managing to reach the top of the championship and stay in touch with automatic promotion spots well in to December. Just over a fortnight ago our form was stuttering; 1-1 at Peterborough, 2-2 against Blackpool and 0-2 [...]

This week football has taken a back seat in most mainstream society, talk has been of the tragic circumstances surrounding Gary Speed and more recently the prevalence of abusive racism in England. I abhor racism, I cannot stand it and simply just don't understand it, thus after watching My Tram Experience I felt angry and offended. [...]

Futsal in England is still in its early stages, granted, but when is the right time to go national? In my opinion, next season.
They keep saying the time isn't right, the product isn't right or coming up with other excuses, but until we go into one national league, or at LEAST just North/South, the game [...]

This weekend Football has had a wake-up call. It is never nice to hear of a footballer, nay a person, die young, however it feels so much more futile when the young person has taken their own life. Whilst I am not oft upset by the death of a celebrity, this has affected me in [...]

Manchester United midfielder Anderson has been sidelined untill february and while Tom Cleverley is still recovering, this could pose a problem for Sir Alex. However, it is probably lucky that it was not one of his more influential midfielders injured and he has a wealth of experience to call on. With Rooney not averse dropping [...]
