It’s 8, yes EIGHT years this weekend since uncle
@alibrownlee
last commentary.. Hull away, as I was with him. I promised to start sharing different photos too… please keep him in your thoughts this weekend. Love you forever AB ❤️
People can learn a lot from today. The game aside we had an applause for a 22 year old who lost his life and Leeds joined in. We have Leeds thanking our staff for their help with Jack Clarke. Speedy recovery to Jack & remember rivalries don’t really matter. TP summed it up.
Dad had a big birthday a couple of weeks ago but didn’t want any fuss... me & Sarah went stealth mode and arranged a Sunday lunch with his closest & oldest friends ❤️ look at his reaction 💞💞 nobody deserves it more than him ❤️❤️
Sadly today Benjamin had to go to doggy heaven. He’s been a constant best friend for Wendy & the girls since his dads passing - and he’s now reunited with him to eat ice cream and run along the beach. Go steady Benjamin ❤️ x
Seven f***ng years tomorrow.. SEVEN. I wish you knew how loved and missed you are uncle Ali. We always talk about you to remember you 🙂 keep slide tackling up there. Until we meet again; keep the boys going. Love you xxx
I posted back in august about having Bell’s palsy… I took some time to myself, with my amazing friends & family… I’m still not there, I still don’t have my smile or eye back properly (this is today); and I’ve had a day from hell.. but we won so UTB! I’m back 🫶🏽❤️
I can never speak highly enough of Gareth. He’s educated, he’s genuine, he’s intelligent, he’s meticulous, he has a great football brain. He’s one of the nicest men you will ever meet, but above anything he WONT get carried away. Captain fantastic for us. Forever grateful.
My mental health may have taken a beating just as much as my physical health - but I’m doing everything I can to get my mental side better (no hope for the physical I’m afraid 🤷🏽♀️🙂) chuffed with myself 🙂

Tomorrow you would have been 61. Life is so cruel
@alibrownlee
😭😭. I listen to your commentaries when I can. I try and look after Aunty Wendy for you too. And I know without any doubt, that you would be keeping us all positive atm. RIP uncle Ali. Forever one of our own ❤️

I've seen my team relegated. Promoted. Relegated again. Promoted again etc. Lose 3 finals in 2 years. Won a cup, seen them in a European cup final. I've seen good times & bad. Tomorrow I'll be there getting behind them - please please do the same. Be the 12th man ❤️
#UTB
I make no secret of the fact I love Stewy. He’s probably the best thing to come out of our academy. He’s made over 400 apps for us. Played at the highest level. International. World cups. Came back. Hell of a peg on him. Not bad for a boy from Pally Park.
#legend
Guess who made it ❤️❤️❤️ happy 105th birthday supernan. I love you ❤️🙂
#supernanto105
thank you for all your thoughts over the last few days too, you’re amazing ❤️🙏🏼 xxx
Happy birthday uncle
@alibrownlee
- miss you every day; think about you every game and more & wish you could be around to host the infamous New Year’s Eve parties. Hope you like your piece in the programme tomorrow & we get 3 points for you.

I said yes! 💞💞 he said if he ever asked he would catch me off guard... he got me having a wee 🤣. And look at my little joint maid of honour and how happy she is ❤️❤️❤️ thank you
@81_carter
I love you xxxxxxxx
You might all remember me asking you to will Supernan to her 105th b’day in July. She made it. In fact she made it to Friday just gone. Just after 12pm she took her last breath. 105 years of history. Supernan I know you were ready to go ‘home’. Rest easy ❤️❤️❤️
“September 1997: Manchester United launch MUTV, the first channel dedicated to a single club.”
NOPE.
“Middlesbrough was the first football club in the world to launch its own TV channel – Boro TV. The first broadcasts were tied to the club's first ever major cup final”
#UTB
15 years ago. We have no 29/2 this year so I’ll use today. Thank you. I will never witness anything like that; or the following 2 years ever again. So to every single person involved with the club at that time; players, management and staff - thank you.
#UTB
Show me a club that not only goes retro, but incorporates local song writers lyrics into a football kit, lyrics about the area... utterly unique. I’ll wait. what a club.
Very good away win. Measured, controlled performance. Mikel MOTM (again) with a special mention to Britt who had an excellent game and took his chance 👌🏽👌🏽 it’s in our hands this.
#UTB
12 years ago today we made it to the uefa cup final and now I’m absolutely desperate to beat Millwall at home tomorrow... football is transient but your team remains your team. No matter what 🤷🏼♀️
#UTB
Can we all put to bed the Pulis ball myth for now? I haven’t seen it this season. We pass the ball, we play football. We are excellent at set pieces which is good training NOT long ball hoof it and see...
#UTB
Can’t believe I’m justifying this because of 1 person but Ali was a shining light. He stopped and talked to EVERYONE. ANYWHERE. About ANYTHING. He had a heart of gold & welcomed anyone into his home. The lovely messages far outweigh that one bad one - I’m sorry I let it get to me
I want to give a massive shoutout to the 399 Birmingham fans who made a long trip up north on a Wednesday evening to watch their team, who haven't won away all season. Dedication 👌🏼

5 years today. 5!! Where on earth has that gone uncle Ali? Still miss you so much & would love to know what you think of the goings on atm! Hope you’re having a blast ❤️ always one of our own ❤️
We are in the championship and have just signed a player who has won the PL twice, the FA Cup 4 times. The AFCON. The Champions League and the UEFA Cup. He may be over 30 but that’s some pedigree is it not?
#UTB
GET IN!!! 4 from 4!! And another clean sheet from
@aynsley_pears
great performance from Rudy & Fletch. Excellent team performance. 7 points from the play offs 😉😉😉 please can you all appreciate my optimism now and get behind them fully. It means so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
#UTB
Yeah refs are human too… but this many times in one game? Dear lord. How. 3 pens and a red for serious foul play.. NOTHING given.. these are the things that can cost people points and positions!!! Big Improvement needed IMO.
My supernan is 105 on Saturday. This morning she collapsed and has spent the day in and out of sleep etc - Dr’s & Nurses have been to see her. I never normally ask this but please keep her in your thoughts - we want to give her her tea party on Saturday 😩❤️❤️❤️
On Stewart Downing’s 600th career appearance - against Sunderland... I got a teamsheet signed by him. I’m going to auction this off with all proceeds to

If you’re not happy with 4 from 6 in two league games against people directly round us then I’m never going to win 🤦🏽♀️😂 no conceding late is never easy, but WE DIDNT LOSE AND WE PLAYED WELL.
#UTB
I’m looking forward to next Saturday evening with my family. Celebrating what would have been Uncle Ali’s 60th birthday. Me and my crutches 🤙🏼 The world is a cruel, harsh place. He should still be here, dissecting the games. Be more kind. ❤️
Today’s the day!!! WEAR RED! SING LOUD!! DONT LET IT DROP IF WE CONCEDE. SING FOR LEO. SING FOR TONY. SING FOR THE PLAYERS. KEEP IT LOUD AND BE THAT 12TH MAN! COME ONNNNNNN!!!!!!
#UTB
What a humbling week. catch up dinner, we’ve swapped gifts (mine on the left ;)) we’ve talked, laughed, caught up. The man is a hero - an absolute warrior and i’m honoured to have such a loyal, strong, comrade. I’ve never known anybody so strong.
#oneofourown
You took my smile, Bell’s palsy - but you haven’t taken my fight 💪🏼 (explanation on last pic 🙂. ) So I’m sorry I’ve been absent & quiet. Me, my family, my GP, & my closest friends have been to hell & back & were still not there yet (there’s more than the palsy- last pic :).
Stop with all this ‘it’s only Panama’
Record World Cup win for us.
A hat trick.
SIX GOALS.
Through to the last 16.
SIX GOALS.
Actually nice to watch.
SIX GOALS.
Previous years against lesser opposition we would have maybe ground out a 1-0. UP THE ENGLAND. 🦁🦁🦁
Delighted for the young lads genuinely. To come from behind three times, some of whom on their full debuts - in front of the biggest crowd some will have played to - to win on pens... very well done 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
#UTB
14 years ago. We have no 29/2 this year so I’ll use today. Thank you. I will never witness anything like that; or the following 2 years ever again. So to every single person involved with the club at that time; thank you for bringing me such memories
#UTB
This team just FEELS different. A lot of them have played at lower levels and worked up to this. They all WANT to play. There’s no superstars that are there just on name. And we play well. Whatever happens now, they & Gareth have made us fall in love again. Thank you.
#eng
We should all be happy today! Get behind a local lad & those on his coaching team. Get behind the players. Get behind the beautiful new kits. Don’t write anyone off before they have even tried. Frank Lampards first season he got to P/O final.

‘It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right... I hope you had the time of your life....’ ❤️ (I cant post the full video, it’s 2 mins long)
How have I never seen this before? Whoever made this is a beautiful human. I’m sat with tears streaming down my face.

I’m a Boro fan, everyone knows this. But what’s happening at Sunderland is sad. I have good friends there, good friends who support them too. But those things aside - I don’t want a north east team falling from grace and then goodness knows what. It doesn’t matter who.
