England have won the 2018 WC semi-final so many times in the years since 2018.

I just realized that if Swansea lose 3-0 tonight then #boro go top! 😀

Blackburn should probably be leading this game. Boro getting overrun in the middle of defence many times #boro

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

And *that* is how you defend a 1-0 lead #worldcup

The commentators (USA) and the podcasters I was listening too this morning were all putting the blame on Brynn for a howler. IMO he did what he could - couldn’t leave it, couldn’t catch it. I would say Brittain and Fry were just as responsible (but again, not a lot they could do) Thoughts? #utb

Nothing makes sense in football anymore. Defenders have to have their hands locked behind their back but attackers can have their arm wide enough to trap the ball in their armpit before they set up a goal. Plus the minutes-long delay for something with clearly no right or wrong answer. #MUN

Listen up, #boro fans, the timing of the hearing tells you everything. Unless they announce on Wednesday that there’s a hearing on Friday, they’re gonna let the cheats slide through. Wednesday is *the* day. No info means we can stand down.

Prediction for the play-off second leg at Southampton : Boro put on a brave defensive performance but lose 1-0. They go through to the Wembley final 3-1 on aggregate. #utb 😉

The row of zeroes has to be unusual at HT. #utb

The funniest thing that Boro could do tomorrow is to score an early goal. We would immediately jump over Millwall and go level with Ipswich. Pandemonium! Do it early enough and the six-goal win...it's on! It will surely go sideways pretty quickly thereafter, but what a moment! #utb

The draw against Ipswich felt like a victory. The win against Sheffield Wednesday felt like a defeat. 🤔 #utb

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

We're playing so well but I'm concerned with how much Malanda and our full-backs are committed forward. Can we not low-block it for 20 minutes? #utb

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

I’ve gone from despising teams that can win a game to despising teams that can score a goal #boro I’m watching Southampton v Derby and Soton just scored and I’m like “What? Just like that?”

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Boro‘s club motto changed to “still somehow second” #utb

What are we hoping for in the Ipswich - Millwall game, #boro fans? 🥾 Millwall bc Ipswich can overtake us? 🚜 Ipswich bc Millwall were on a n incredible run before the fluke of Blackburn? 🤝draw bc obviouly?

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

I just realized - Boro's "never dropped points from a winning position" streak is over 😭 #utb

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Goal difference could be important between us and Ipswich. At 3-0, Boro are +22; Ipswich are +26

Hull not up for doing us any favors 😡#utb

I'm going to give Shamrock Diaries an overdue listen tonight. It was always my favorite #ChrisRea album #boro

Hey, #boro Bluesky, when is Adilson Malanda going to play? Is he with the squad now? Will be a regular?

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

This #boro games feels stretched like the last 5 minutes of a game. There are 25 minutes left. This isn't staying 2-1 at this rate. #nextGoalIsImportant

1-1 Clear foul on Silvera once you see the replays #boro

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

Get in! #boro That goal doesn't happen without the two players attacking the front post, even though neither got a touch.

But apart from that, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Here's an updated "the championship without #boro" table. The purpose is to get a better idea of the strength of the teams we have played (yellow) and are playing soon (orange). I remove the games that Boro have played and sort by points per game.

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

If you take #boro out of the league table and sort by points per game, three of the four teams Boro have defeated leap into the top eight. In other words, Swansea, Norwich and Millwall are all averaging 2 points per game or higher when they're not getting tonked by Boro!

Highly enjoyable. The point where you notice the time remaining in the video and realize where this is going...

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

ARGH! That two-on-one should have been walked into the goal #boro

010

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 23/08/2025

That's an amazing start. Boro's first seven games include five pretty tough challenges. I was hoping for 9-10 points, top-10 in the league so we can push with some easier games. #utb

The World War 1 and World War 2 were engineered to prevent Middlesbrough from winning a Division One title. Finished 3rd in 1913-14 and finished 7th -> 5th -> 4th in the lead up to 1939.

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

Wow, why did the ref not give a penalty in #BHANOT ? It's a clear trip. It doesn't matter that it was inadvertent.

Phil McTimoney @philmctimoney.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

What the American's call 'submarining' - going in low when a player is jumping for the ball - should be a yellow or even red card offense. Muniz could have knacked Henderson there and for no reason. #FULCRY

Whenever someone points out we're letting the other side frame the debate, they're dead-on. I miss it every time.

He should insist that every social security recipient has to sent a weekly email listing five things that they spent the money on. If they say things like mothballs and powdered egg then his AI tools will detect that they are 150 years old.

Social security taxes are separate from regular federal income taxes, so why isn't social security separated from federal spending?

Very clear foul on the #BHAFUL equalizer. What is a defender to do in that situation?

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

This needs to become like Sun City in South Africa. They'll be stuck with a Kid Rock residency.
