@travisakers Peter Gabriel. So.

I’m buying a record player today. What should be the first album I play on it?

@TRiCKETTengland Don’t change a good thing. 💁‍♂️

@AkersNigel I was thinking about it. But I (and many other people who like the brand) thought it has become so synonymous with the brand that we couldn't really change it

The football shorts are online on Thursday at 7PM in 4 colours.

@TRiCKETTengland Bloody hell. By the way. Did I dream you were doing away with the 7pm launch thingy?

@AkersNigel They look like how football shorts looked in the late 50s

@tom_breedon @Jordwalker19 @Project_Boro Agree. But he is no Roger’s.

@Jordwalker19 @Project_Boro Common sense tells you that isn't the case. His agent will in his ear saying "don't take any risks and jeopardise the summer move". Hackney has already shown loyalty above and beyond the call of duty. This is his time. Promotion or no, his ceiling is higher than Boro.

I know they won’t mostly for fan morale reasons, and wanting to keep fans glass half full than half empty. But I’d rather them just admit that Hackneys Boro career is over at this point. Hometown lad robbed of the chance to lead his club to promotion. Gutting really.

@GraemeBandeira Much better. If we play to our strengths we give anyone a game.

Positive tweet alert. We played well particularly second half. Had a good go at them so that bodes well for play-offs as we’ve looked absolutely spent over the last few weeks. Strelec coming off swung the momentum their way again sadly.

@Henrygreeny04 Don’t forget we have Ayling for another year. Thats the clubs ambition right there.

Just think as well boro fans, Hackney, Morris, Fry, Targett and possibly Malanda will be gone in the summer.

@HarryPattison77 @Henrygreeny04 Hackney is no Rogers or Tav

@Henrygreeny04 Who is gonna want any of those except hackney really.

@cheshiresmoggie @Boro Surely Fry

@Boro Fucking useless the lot of them. Browne and Morris about the only decent players that stand out

Defeat at the Riverside.

@BarronMedia @BumbleCricket @RNIB @guidedogs @TheNorthernEcho Came to his and my old school to show us his England caps.

Ex-England footballer Dave Thomas, who is now blind, is taking part in a walk along the route of the Stockton & Darlington Railway for the @RNIB & @GuideDogs. On the way, he'll be reconnected with his World Cup-winning grandad. I tell the full story in @TheNorthernEcho tomorrow

@DomShawEcho Conway gives his best effort sprinting off the pitch at half time. Surely the front three get changed now.

HT: #Boro haven't looked like scoring, Portsmouth don't look interested in scoring.

@danamalt I wish our players would 😜

@GraemeBandeira Against sheff utd our passsing was second to none. Now it’s laboured and thoughtless. What’s happened to hell ball.

What a clown show. Cant quite believe the levels of self destruct. We started the game very positively too. Thick as mince. It’s not over though. They’re wide open and with composure in final third we can wrestle this back. Get Cruz on.

@TRW_99 Some. But can you remember who had most shots at Italia 90?

This is bonkers. Game after game, we dominate and have shots galore. More than 30 a game sometimes! It’s mad to see some supporters actually turning on Hellberg WTF 🤯

@stechap2010 Talk to the lads injured who were pitch side. They were laughing and giggling. I.e. or just stop caring.

Genuinely considering stopping going for the sake of my mental health. I don’t really enjoy the actual games as tense from the 1st minute. How do I go about enjoying the highs and accepting the inevitable lows to come

@untypicalboro Sloppy. Ayling isn’t strong enough to mark Coburn. Centre halves shoul of had him.

Coburn again. Sloppy stuff at the back punished. #UTB #Boro

@untypicalboro Coburn showing Ayling that youth wins in the end.

HT: 1-0. Standing ovation. A superb game. Full blooded #Boro aggressive & assertive & really getting stuck in. Created some great chances but big tackles just as important. Millwall look dangerous on the break. really enjoying Ayling schooling Coburn in the Dark Arts. #UTB

@DomShawEcho Maybe giving Ayling another year is the biggest sign which league we will play in next year. He is not premier league and most players aren’t either.

🙁 #Boro will again be without Hackney, Whittaker and Castledine at Swansea on Monday - and possibly against Portsmouth next week. The hope is they'd be back for Ipswich. 🤞McGree and Morris will be assessed over weekend, as will Targett. Full story 👇 thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/25994773…

@DomShawEcho Ayling signing a new contract and apparently old manning Coburn. That signing alone tells me where we are playing next season.

Lack of goals obviously a major worry, but so too is depth with key players injured. Most of those who played today will have to go again Monday. Psychological impact of that result - for both Millwall and #Boro - could be significant. Draw would have been frustrating but OK.

@GraemeBandeira Gutted. I watched it on the box. Whittaker, Hackney and Castledine laughing and giggling. Yeh ok but watch the game get behind your team and care about the result. They don’t give a shit, so it seems.

Still all to play for. Let’s make that clear. Same old failings though. Got to take chances! We were as dominant as I’ve ever seen us in a first half this season. They couldn’t lay a glove. We never smelt the danger second half once they got the ball up to Coburn quicker. Gutted
