Boro lad. Produced by the academy. Key during the most successful period in club history. Took a pay cut to re-join us in 2015. Took a pay cut when we were relegated in 2017. Took a pay cut to play in the last nine games of the season in 2019. Stewart Downing, club legend.

🗞️After a great nine months freelancing for @theipaper and @TheSun, I'm immensely excited to be joining @Telegraph as a trainee reporter at the end of the month. I start in a fortnight after some time off, so do get in touch for a catch-up coffee/pint.

Held like cattle at Millwall with no explanation of how long we’d be waiting — stared at with contempt by legions of officers as we walk through the station. And the Met wonder why people get wound up at them. Show normal football supporters respect, we’re not bloody hooligans.

Probably one of the most overconfident, underwhelming, self-centred and arrogant individuals to ever wear the shirt. Imagine comparing yourself to Juninho after playing a few friendlies. Good riddance, we won’t miss you.

Negredo has to be one of my favourite Boro players of the last ten years. Had incredible technical ability and touch, grafted and pressed for the team with no support, didn't throw his toys out of the pram when AK was sacked and scored 10 goals in a poor attacking team.

29 wins, 13 draws and 32 losses from 74 games is by no means exceptional. But if Boro now go on to achieve success under the new DoF-led vision, a lot will be owed to the stabilisation brought by Warnock.
Like him or loathe him, he was responsible for keeping us up and stabilising a sinking ship. Thank you for everything Neil. #Boro

Just ludicrous – punished as a 24 y/o for something written on social media aged 14 despite apologising as soon as it was brought to his attention. Where is the space for accepting that young teenagers say things that an adult wouldn't? Where is the space for forgiveness?.

Taking Britt off for a defender at 1-0 up with 30 minutes still to play is absolutely baffling. It's tactical and reputational suicide of the highest order which is surely the nail in the coffin for Pulis' chances of staying as manager next season. Not good enough.

There’s just something about Old Trafford isn’t there? . McNair, Fry, Howson, Crooks, Tav — an absolutely sensational core pivotal in allowing us to take advantage of the chances given by United’s sloppiness. Duncan Watmore is the ultimate pro, what a player.

One of the few players who is synonymous with memories that mean the world to me and always will. The Mackem who became one of our own. He’s magic, you know.
Happy retirement Grant Leadbitter. 🔺 Six-and-a-half years at the club. 🔺 244 appearances. 🔺 33 goals. 🔺 Lead us to Wembley. 🔺 Captained us to the Premier League. A modern day Boro legend. #Boro | #UTB

Just seen it’s £75 for this tacky white and ’steel’ shirt that a) looks like Leeds, b) will get mucky as soon as you go outside and c) will be worn once or twice by the first team. It’s nothing but a money-making exploitation of the area’s history. We should be better than that.

Just one of the many positives from today’s game is Sky’s coverage of us. They absolutely hate that we’re being successful without playing ‘proper football’. Our ‘negative’ football has allowed us to go under the radar so far this season, and long may it continue.

In a negotiated peace deal, Ukraine would likely be forced to hand over territory to Russia. But does surrendering land to appease Putin actually work?. I went to the border of South Ossetia, the separatist-held breakaway Georgian region, to find out.

Jakupovic. Soisalo. Miller. Three seasons in a row now where we’ve sold one of our brightest prospects for a pittance because we don’t give them chances in the first team. Makes you wonder what reforms TP has actually put in place. Ridiculous.
