We cannot help but be at least a little defined by what is done to us, but we can choose how it defines us. Boro Fan & Harrogate occasionally, Ill fated Government Rag, Alienated Dad!

There must be something around negative sponsorship and promotion.
Watching Stick to Football which I love, but the Huel and LinkedIn sponsored had made me hate these brands!

What is our game plan? Go down early, but continue to slow a game down, move slowly, no urgency, no pace etc.
Then yeah, last 10/15mins we think let’s go for it. Too little too late to rescue a game.
I don’t understand it. #Boro

Let’s say we make the play offs, I mean who really believes we’ll beat any of the other 3?
Negative Tuesday energy, fucked off totally.

Reflection -
Lots of ‘positives’ and performances but let’s look at the early games we knew we were doomed.
August… 2x relegation fodder teams and we ‘achieved’ ONE point!
We knew then, it would be the same old same old!

Booooooooooooooooo!!!!
No battlers, no plan B, we just don’t know what to do against a team battling - season after season, these relegation fodder teams take points from us.
We’re ’too nice’ of a team.

I have four original A3 Boro artworks left from a series of 24. Price negotiable. I have no space for them and they're stuck in a folder. Be better hanging up somewhere!

Home after that car crash and not sure what is worse, that second half or this truly frustrating Riverside Stadium ‘LEGO’ build.
Anyone else sharing my pain with this?
