  • Bitterness

    Always informative and only clouded by the pro derby anti boro bias stemming from the compensation paid to boro after derby defrauded their way to the playoffs at Boros expense a few years ago . The choking on tears in recent episode admitting boro would finish above 15th and far higher than the ram pub team was delightful.
