Always respected as a player at Boro in the 80's he was their Dobbo.
There was a big disappointment that he wasn't able to get Boro up when he was manager.

Are you ever going to contribute anything other than this? At least I provide reason. I will provide a reason, this is the worst preforming Premier league squad we have ever had, the club is in debt to the hilt and there is no guarantee we will bounce back next season. Kompany will be damaged by th...

Why do we need to get 100-150 million back? We’ve bought most of them them from / with PL revenues. You do realise our wage bill this season will be considerably lower than what it was on the last relegation and revenue will be 130m+? Who says we absolutely need to sell? What about the entire squad...

Basically this. Massive learning curve this season for our young players and manager. Saints and even Leeds have shown you can still dominate that league while having to sell some players. Leeds looked like they were in a proper mess even in September, Summerville and Sinesterra refusing to play, G...

From Dundee: The big story of the added time was a horrible injury to Michael Mellon who was battered from behind in an aerial challenge. The referee played the advantage and Costelloe broke into the penalty area where he was caught as he checked inside. There was no penalty this time. Mellon neede...

See the thing I find interesting is how many posters comment on how s**t last seasons best players have been (Cullen and Beyer mentioned on this thread already). I’ve seen reputable posters comment on how Beyer is a ‘really bad defender’ yet there was a poll on here by Jdrobbo last season asking wh...

I didn't know we had a Burnley fan in such a position of power until I saw this on the BBC Sport website. Tony Scholes, chief football officer at the Premier League, feels VAR is largely positive addition to the top-flight, but admits decisions are taking too long and acknowledges "clearly everythi...

Luton are doing a lot better than us, very few changes and the ones they did had quality and experience for a fraction of what we paid. So yes, I think we did a little too much, too many similar and lightweight players and failed to add experience. Agree on Luton, we too quickly lost the promotion ...

The amount of change has been absolutely fine, just a bit unbalanced and lacking physicality needed for this level (which we’ve clearly gone to rectify in Jan). If we had these 3 signings since the start we’d be over 20 points right now. It hasn't been fine absolutely fine, its been absolutely terr...

Enjoyed the episode earlier and noted the criticism of Brownhill, just saw a stat tonight from The Other 14 on X. Brownhill has the highest tackle success rate in the Premier League for the season so far. Only dribbled past 7 times. Yep, surprised me too. https://x.com/other14the/status/17552657422...

Very interesting that, only 2 seasons of parachute payments, would make going back up at the the first time of asking even more important than it was last season
Max 2 year plan then, not 3. Severe cost cutting will be needed by the end of year 2

Same reason as why Nottingham Forest's goal in the away game was delayed by VAR. The VAR man was trying from all angles to find the slightest touch of a finger on the ball so that he could disallow it for handball. The rule as currently applied means that the tiniest brush of a fingernail by the go...

Some fair points. Albeit over a season it generally paints a decent picture. An overview of our entire season last year shows us with 68 xG, we scored 86. An over performance only managed sustainably by the likes of City who have better players than their competitors. Sheff and Boro had a higher to...

I was there yesterday, pre match meal in town with friends, I had no excitement. I always had excitement even in the bad Div 4 days. I think a lot of it is because we've been effectively down now for months and even though we've been through lots of relegations, its probably never been assured so ea...

Fulham were the by far the better side for a good hour after they went ahead and certainly had chances to kill the game at 2-0. But that being said, I can only think of three really good chances: one point blank header from a corner well saved and one decent near post save, one free header that was...

For me this was just trying to keep a team ethos and continuity to hit the PL running and ride that wave and slowly bed in new players.
That's what I think we got wrong more than anything and I hope it's something VK reflects on.
Yes, we didn't have that promotion bounce

Trafford, Al-Dakhil, Odobert, Koleosho, Ramsey, Foster, Amdouni, Massengo, Zaroury. Berge just above the age category for a ‘gem’ but a top signing.
Yep, not one of them really ready for this league
