Long drive for @QuicklyKevin live. Fortunately I drive a Jaguar XJ8, 3.2, the sports version; 3.2 litre AJ-V8 all alloy engine. Classic colour interior theme, fluted leather seats, contrast colour keyed facia, figured walnut veneer. As good a motor as you can hope to drive.

@cals2204 Nugent scored at Fulham in that kit before we got rid of him-should have kept him for that season

@sarahfinn8 There were probably three occasions in which they had gone for it and left massive gaps at the back which even average players would be able to capitalise on but when the ball came to him the moves broke down every time

I absolutely hate calling our players, it’s something I rarely do. But my word Kaly Sene.. 😩🙄

@Boro_Breakdown We would be second right now if it wasn’t for that penalty at Ipswich so tonight’s result feels quite galling

FT: Southampton 2-2 Ipswich… 👀 Are we happy with that, #Boro fans? It was almost a Southampton win by one goal, which would’ve been nice, but second place is still alive. #UTB

@jimmy__mcintosh Keys-that’s a good idea. I was looking for my bollocks.

The Men Behaving Badly episode "Drunk" is the most important 29 minutes in British television

@AllTheTicket @BBCTeesSport @grok Love it

@untypicalboro You’ve accidentally put a 2006 shirt there and 2006 was only five years ago so can’t count as retro

Which one for #Boro Retro Day?

@Craigyrobbo81 Two minutes after the pen 😂

Ok mate

@DuaneStorey @AmusedToDeath1 And she got that wrong as well because he froze to death and didn’t drown-she is so full of shit

@AmusedToDeath1 I heard she later testified she saw some guy clinging to a wooden door, but the lady on it wouldn't make room for him, so he eventually drowned.

in 1982 Titanic survivor Ruth Becker was giving an interview where she stated the ship broke in two. The treasurer of the Titanic Historical Society actually took the microphone away from her and said she had been mistaken. 3 years later they found the wreck broken in 2

@Boro Give the referee credit-he’s been desperate to give them a decision like that but he’s bided his time and waited for the opportunity and he’s been clinical when it’s come

Penalty to Ipswich. 🔵 1-2 🔴 '86

@showbiz411 @LewisCapaldi

@LewisCapaldi You're very naive. You're dating the #1 publicity magnet in the world

wow guys not cool such an invasion of our privacy

@DanLewis1999 @Pompey We could kick off with your entire team, still celebrating in our goalmouth and we still wouldn’t score

@Pompey I love that his first instinct, once jumping on Alli…is the make sure someone is still in Boro’s half so they can’t kick off yet😂😂

😅 Here's what you've all been waiting for...

@EzzyMUFC You’re going to lose your shit when you see your first penalty being taken

The refcam replay view of the goal makes raya look stupid😭😭

@StozUTB Wrexham play without a keeper and we missed two penalties

@DarboEatsParmo Not saying it’s a bad point to make, but using a picture from the biggest bottling in our history seems fitting

Call it “negative” or “trolling” if you want. I’m genuinely furious how our standards have fallen. This club used to chase sporting glory. Now too many are comfortable watching us sit in the second tier. We’ve historically been a yo-yo club, but at least we had some ambition.

@MatchDCentral Isn’t this just what relegation is for every team?

🚨 If Tottenham Hotspur get relegated, here’s what it would actually happen to the team: First, nothing happens instantly to contracts. Every player remains tied to the club. Relegation doesn’t cancel deals, they are still legally Spurs players. However, the big change comes from money and ambition. Spurs would lose a huge amount of revenue, especially from Premier League TV rights. Because of that, the club would need to reduce spending quickly. This is where player exits begin. Top players would almost certainly leave. Not because they are forced to, but because: • They want to keep playing at the highest level • Other big clubs would come in for them • Spurs would be open to selling to balance finances Some players may also have relegation clauses in their contracts. These clauses can: • Allow them to leave for a lower transfer fee • Reduce their wages automatically So even those who stay might earn less. The squad would then start to change a lot. Spurs would rely more on: • Younger players • Squad players who stay • Loan signings And this is where it gets even tougher, coming back up is not guaranteed. Because many of their best players would leave, the overall quality of the squad drops. Even though Spurs are a big club, the Championship is very competitive and physical, and without top talent, promotion becomes much harder. In short — relegation doesn’t “remove” players, but it triggers a chain reaction: ➡️ Stars leave ➡️ Wages drop ➡️ Squad gets rebuilt ➡️ Promotion becomes more difficult That’s why relegation is such a big risk, even for top clubs.

@StokeyyG2 Tbf we didn’t complain too much about being given this which looks the same to me

@HLTCO My favourite two-both brilliant

A question for my followers… If you could only recommend one football book for people to read, what would it be?

@inrictus Never heard Riverside like that before-just stunned silence and all the energy sucked out of it. Worry we may not come back from it.

"All you post is over reactions to goals..."

@neilz21 @TypicalBoroPod @SimonPobble @GraemeBandeira Bernie scored more goals in the top flight for Boro than Rav did

@TypicalBoroPod @SimonPobble @GraemeBandeira Slaven 🤔 a good player who scored a lot of goals but mainly in second and third tiers who thinks he was better than he actually was. Some fantastic players on that list UTB 🇦🇹

🌟 Boro’s Top 10 Strikers (1986-2026) Dicko’s list ranked by @SimonPobble and @GraemeBandeira on Typical Boro 🥇 Slaven 🥈 Viduka 🥉 Hasselbaink Do you agree with their ranking? 🤔 #UTB
