@luxemiaa Given the amount of copy pasta about aeroplane and train seating arrangements there is clearly a significant number of people who just think the world revolves around them.

It finally happened to me. On my flight this morning, I noticed a family started to sit around me. This is the plane seat plan: ABC DEFG HIJ I'm on aisle seat C. They were sitting on B DEFG. One of them suddenly appeared beside my face and asked, "This is my family and I want to sit with them. Is it okay to switch seats? I'm on a window seat." First of all, that's too close to my face. Second, I paid for my seat and I prefer sitting on the aisle when travelling alone. So....

@justcalledtosay Carrick often played people in new positions. Forrs, Akpom and Crooks were all moved to new positions within a couple of games of Carrick starting.

Isn’t it refreshing to see a Boro manager trying to do something a little innovative rather than flogging the same tired plan A without success? Hellberg has worked wonders with this squad.

@DomShawEcho Since the Coventry game KH can’t seem to make his mind up about the centre of defence. Keeps switching from 3 to 4, moving Malander and flipping between Ayling and Fry. Wouldn’t be surprised if a CB is hihg on his Summer list.

@clay_hazel23381 Only after last night lol.

@psward1984 He needs to be ahead of Sene after last night.

Well, we won. Not the best game and certainly not the best performance but 3 points and a clean sheet to boot is all that matters. Cruz Ibeh must be getting a bit fed up though #UTB

@NatskuLove @FondOfBeetles Great game :)

@FondOfBeetles @psward1984 It would be for me because of playing cribbage which means I memorised all the ways to make 15 but I would usually do it your way

3 plus 4 is 7. They are the tens. Park that. 7 is 3 less than 10, take that from 8 leaves 5 over. That’s 15 extra. Where is my 70 again? 85.

@TiceRichard Forced patriotism.

@Wilseus @FondOfBeetles When first learning multiplication I used to just add the number together the appropriate amount of times E.G 3*4 =4+4+4 but I’ve not done it the other way for solving addition sums.

@FondOfBeetles @psward1984 7 or 8 times tables, then either add or subtract 1: 8+8 = 8x2 = 16, 16-1 = 15 or 7+7 = 7x2 = 14, 14+1 = 15

@FondOfBeetles When I was at Primary school in the 90s, and had to write down my working out, we were taught to do the sum right to left, same for long multiplication. Once I started doing sums in my head I switched to left to right. Is that the same for anyone else?

@psward1984 But how are you processing 7 + 8? Like, 15 just appears as a rote answer?

@FondOfBeetles I think I just remember that 7 + 8 =15 so i don’t really have to think about it.

@Boro_Breakdown We played like a team that hasn’t won at home since January. Hopefully we can relax a bit more on Saturday now that is over and we are pretty much safe in the play offs.

Thank god for that… Give us your one key takeout from our win against Sheffield Wednesday 👇🏼

@emilyhewertson About everything or just smoking?

I don’t smoke and I don’t like smoking, but adults should be able to make their own bloody choices. 🙄

@steph13117 @mattletiss7 @grok You mean like matt, who didn’t like the answer he was given so immediately implied that Grok was programmed to spout Government propaganda rather than providing a reasoned counter explanation.

@mattletiss7 @grok Any human reading your leap from plane trails to Government propaganda would assume you were pushing conspiracy theories. This platform is full of them, it doesn’t take much to make the connection. This is an indicator that Grok is using reasoning to provide an answer.

@grok Why didn’t you just answer my question instead of assuming a certain framing. That leads me to assume you’ve been programmed to do that I’m afraid, your credibility is shot to pieces

@sarahfinn8 @danielbrundl3 Agree as we accepted something like that last Summer and he has only 1 year left now. Obviously this is meaningless as he will be playing for us in the PL next season.

@danielbrundl3 I think £20m max

What we saying boro fans ? Id expect it to be about £25m plus add ons such as international appearances ect similar to spence and rogers deals ? Hes not got a lot of contract left either.

@Loulameg Maybe a surprise return?

Why no word on Hackney?

@clay_hazel23381 @Loulameg Haha the curse has to break at some point

@psward1984 @Loulameg The cynical part of me thinks they won't be back. But from what I saw today I think we have what it takes to give ourselves a shout of Wembley - and I fear Wembley more than I fear any of those teams!

Everyone on here questioning Hellberg taking Strelec off, pulled up after a run & then tried to play on for another 10 mins or so. I think we played so much better today which is why that point feels like a loss. Ipswich gifted their point and it hurts like hell right now

@clay_hazel23381 @Loulameg Me too. No point on dwelling on automatics, I don’t fear Ipswich, Millwall or Hull in Playoffs. Focus on getting injured players back now.

@Loulameg I feel ok actually, a bit worried about being 7 without a win and it was a really harsh penalty but I thought we put up a good fight today and it was a good game

@TypicalBoroPod @Midas_Cladding The electric shock comment is also a criticism of hellberg. We can all see there is 0 connection between TC and DS, so this is either a tactic issue or a training problem. This needs to be bettr moving forward. Not really a hatchet job on TC.

@TypicalBoroPod @Midas_Cladding This wasn’t as incendiary as I thought it might be after reading the comments. His criticisms are mostly of Hellberg. BS wants goals & assists from wide players, KH seems to value work rate in that position. His comments about Sarmiento were that he liked his energy and intensity
