🗣️ 'People might laugh, but...' 🇫🇷 Kim Hellberg twice referenced PSG last week in discussing Boro and his side's style and approach. Here's why he believes the 'scary' way is the right way 👇 thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/…

Wonder if this means the end for Castore. Club making sure they sell out so there’s no stock left over when a new kit supplier comes in? Who knows. A new company would have designs at a pretty advanced stage. And no one wants Castore in the Prem…
A final allocation of 6,000 home and away shirts will be released online only at shop.mfc.co.uk from 12 noon on Tuesday 10 November. The restock will include a range of sizes across home and away shirts, in adult, junior and mini kits (with many junior sizes and mini kits still currently available and on sale).

Fascinating looking at the list of the top scorers all time in Europe’s major 5 leagues (up to end of last season) for context on scoring levels.
Let’s place Kane in a list of the 10 greatest (purer) strikers of all time. Say Nordahl, Kocsis, Muller, Eusebio, Van Basten, Romario, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Suarez. Who matches him for his consistency across so many competitions and the completeness of his game?

9th most value added to players we signed over the last 5 years. No mean feat at all. Let’s hope this current crop get us back to the dizzy heights of 9th in the actual Premier League table.
The shambles of recruitment at certain clubs revealed in latest report by the always excellent @CIES_Football who have calculated the appreciation or decrease in player signings since they joined their clubs (excludes academy players).

Match, as always, knocking it out the park with their stats. Over 30 years ago, this was Coventry’s 16th placed top flight finish reviewed in great detail. Have a look at that roll call of players! Some proper 90’s icons, although Jamie Barnwell-Edinboro stumped me. Who he?

Happened to remember Amario Cozier-Dubbery, why's there not enough talk around him? 7 G/A in 7 games for Middlesbrough in the Championship, on loan from Brighton. Not forgetting his 20 goal involvements in League One last season for Bolton Wanderers. Elite prospect.

In 2001, Middlesbrough's official magazine 'Riverside Roar' featured a cover and interview with Adriana Sklenarikova, a Victoria's Secret supermodel. Adriana was married to 'Boro midfielder Christian Karembeu at the time. It was their best-selling issue ever. Presumably.

It's the t-shirt no #Boro fan was asking for... but i'm bringing it to you anyway. From the days when we were 'Big in Japan', its the 1980 Kirin Cup Winners shirt #IYKYK #UtB

Mário Jardel’s numbers in Europe were ridiculous. At Porto, he scored 168 goals in 175 games. At Galatasaray, 34 in 43. At Sporting, 67 in 62. He won the European Golden Shoe twice, finished as the Portuguese league’s top scorer five times and even scored both goals as Galatasaray beat Real Madrid in the 2000 UEFA Super Cup. From arriving in Europe in 1996 to 2003, he scored 269 goals in 280 games. Jardel later said: “If I were playing today, I’d be worth between €150m and €200m.” One of the most prolific strikers of his era, but rarely mentioned alongside the biggest names.

Let’s hope they make good use of this amazing building and location in town. Boro has massive potential to be completely reimagined for a new generation. As they say, build it and they will come.
