Former Boro striker Andy Campbell's hoping the Boro can capitalise on Brum's ructions over Rooney. He like what he's now seeing at the Riverside and is sure Carrick will have done what's needed to keep the momentum fresh!

Accents, pocket dials and and Lehi (a local museo), we have it all this morning. Boro fans, would you have Akpom back? NUFC and Tonali, wow.... it's all on the Footy Brekky!

There one minute, gone the next - Ry's magical disappearing act as talk turns into England an Tonali. Belfast child Dave says Southgate's men will win the thing and Steve gets into Saudia and FFP.

The old 'Messi or Ronaldo' chestnut rears it's head, Steve's deffo wearing the CR7 undies while Ry likes the Argentine. Dave's wanting a Belfast breakfast and Daz is welcomed back to the brekky fold!

Steve feels the Tonali incident'll not be as big as was first feared, Ry's famous now he's made the Gazette and Dave's determined to get ref chat into the show.

Ian's joined by The Times' Henry Winter as they discuss football reporting in the North East.

Higgy battles tech and parking tickets to wax lyrically about Boro's win at the Stadium of Light while Clarky and Daz get stuck into VAR - and none of them are happy about the photo-shoot!

Ry releases his debut single to be played at the Riverside, Steve's really on one supporting the Mags on tickets and Dave sees spooky gremlins infiltrate the tech - on Friday the 13th as well!

Steve's bizarrely into nose picking, Ry's off on the hunt of Socceroo success and Dave's getting all sorts thrown at him - well he's a ref so deserves it!.

Dave's off on one having a go at Merse and Wrighty "Let Ronnie Biggs head up the Treasury as he's good at handling money"... Steve asks is that it for Man Utd and Ry's, well, Ry!!!!
