On my blog thing. Feel free to peruse at your leisure. http://tarnreview.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/middlesbrough-preview.html Andy.
Reading that I think we could be on the receiving end of a good spanking! And the same again against Wolves. Nothing to come at Brighton.
Very good preview Andy, a sound assessment of both teams. So, in your opinion, Stonesy would be on the bench for opener and Cywka would start? Cheers.
commented on your blog last night, but on a non-related post. So just to make sure you know that your effort is appreciated it went.............. BTW Whitey, mightily impressed with your blog. Been doing a lot of research into setting up a blog for work, and I can appreicate how much effort you have put into it. All the reader sees is the end product, but theres a lot more to it than just typing a few words into a box. Also, the content is very good . hope that you can find the time to put as much effort into it as the season progresses.
Thas set the standard now, we want no early season over achieving ****** and then tailing off in to the New Year. Consistency required with a push for excellence thrown in at some point.
Thanks for the positive comments, people. It does make it worth the effort. Takes me a good few hours to research, type up, then publish. I'll do my level best - time permitting - to always knock up a preview of each game, and I'll try to post the odd other article depending on news/events etc. But the match report took me about 8 hour t'other day. Even though I'd attended, I couldn't remember a lot of detail, and wanted it to be thorough. So I watched much of the game back on Player, took notes etc. Very time consuming, and twas my birthday... However, I'm more than willing to do the reports, BUT, as you may be aware, I won't be attending every game this season (including this weekend - out with my girlfriend) and so I don't feel it's right for me to report on those particular fixtures. I would though, be interested in knowing if anybody on here fancies doing a report on the Boro game, and if you emailed it to me I'd stick it up on the blog page....? Once again, thanks for your comments.
Merlin - great read. Opening games must be almost impossible to predict/forecast, so I still remain optimistic for a REDS win.
Great read! As I'm from Norway, I don't get to follow the club so closely as I would like to, so your blog is much appreciated!
