This season Tom learned what being Boro means: songs, Bovril, heartbreak, hope and believing next year might finally be our year. The rite of passage is complete. Following the Boro, we shall be. #UTB#Boro
La ánecdota de JERMAIN DEFOE vale la pena leerla 😢
"Recuerdo que durante mi segunda temporada en Sunderland, Louise Wanless, la chica de prensa, me dijo un día: “Hay un niño que quiere conocerte”. Me explicó que Bradley Lowery tenía neuroblastoma y que yo era su jugador favorito. Yo estaba como, “Está bien, por supuesto. Sin preocupaciones." Pero no tenía ni idea de cómo sería él. Asumí por su descripción que sería súper tímido y callado.
Pero tan pronto como entró en el vestuario, corrió directamente hacia mí, saltó sobre mi regazo y me abrazó con una gran sonrisa en su rostro. Después de esa primera reunión, le pedí a Louise que me pusiera en contacto con la familia para poder ir a verlo al hospital. Al principio iba con otros jugadores, pero luego seguí yendo solo. Quería pasar el mayor tiempo posible con él. Teníamos esta conexión natural, este vínculo. Todavía no sé cómo explicarlo. Me acostumbré tanto a que él estuviera en Sunderland que realmente luché después de que se fue.
Me enseñó a apreciar mucho más la vida y las personas que me rodean. Él me cambió, toda mi perspectiva".
Is anyone looking for a ticket for Ludovico Einaudi at Sidney Myer Bowl, Melbourne? I can't make it unfortunately. Riverside Terrace section but fine to go on the lawn instead
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has confirmed the 2026 World Cup final will have a half-time show.
The game is completely gone! Copying Americans will only ruin the World Cup’s legacy..
I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.
I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.
My take
• We’re just happy to chill
• Celebrating feels like extra work lot of times
• A quiet day feels like the perfect gift
• Most of us care more about milestones than birthdays
• We’d rather save the energy (and money) for something bigger
• It’s not about the day—it’s about the people around us
Honestly, doing nothing just hits the perfect spot !

The group have listened to people online & in the stadium, mentioning not knowing some of the chants that are sometimes sung in the stands.
So we have put together a website for those who don’t know the words to some of the songs.
Kids these days don’t understand that memes used to last YEARS. Not days or weeks. YEARS. This was foundational. One of the core pillars upon which the rest of this *gestures broadly* was built.
