Hi everyone, a new documentary called Finding Jack Charlton is released on Monday, it's probably of interest to many on here and well worth watc...
Lovely match report, thank you. Bar the goal I’ve seen nothing of the game, but Britt’s cool finish reinforces what many of us on here have said, he...
@ken Sorry to hear that, Ken. Take care of yourself and we'll look forward to having you back when you feel able and happy to do so.
@grovehillwallah that’s the one. Paul McGrath’s contribution is quite something.
Touching on a couple of points made: Wasnt Alan Kernaghan concerted from a centre forward to a centre half? And Bernie Slaven was frequently accus...
@werdermouth that 'the big six, plus Everton, Southampton and West Ham' are given a vote but not recent champions Leicester are given a vote should te...
So the 'big six' are trying to buy total control for a paltry £250m. With no means to stop them re-writing the contract in the future to further entre...
Despite their attributes, I’m going to suggest Britt and Fletcher are not a good combination due to their uncomplementary skill sets. To maximise Br...
Prediction? Chaos all over the park. Two all draw.
Hmm, so now our defence and our attack are susceptible to pedestrian crossing. Britt’s a poor choice as captain. Not for lack of effort, but because...
@andy-r that also works, do you imagine a 4 3 3? Who plays in the middle 3?
@redcarred I wouldn’t complain at those combinations.
@redcarred if Britt and Fletcher don’t work together, and I’m the absence of a cheque book, why not Fletcher and Wing, which has the bonus of reliev...
@powmillnaemore a wonderful and slightly more rude version, worth it for the 12th Night joke alone. Both actors are English, I believe the shorter o...
@powmillnaemore Shrews attack certainly had the measure for measure of our defence
@ken my favourite song from the film version
@andy-r If Britt scores 20 plus league goals this season and we're p-------* - all the money we've paid him will have been worth it. Admittedly it's...
The team selection seems to be as strong as possible.
@grovehillwallah I find them hit and miss, but when they hit they are very funny. The Wolf of Wall Street is a particular favourite
@steely its possible your Mr O’Connor was the husband of my Mrs O’Connor. He was a big Boro by her account. My music teacher was Mrs Keeley, and...
@original-fat-bob as the headmaster we generally only encountered Mr O’Hanlon when we were sent to his office on our birthday for a sweet, or to rec...
@AndyR Alan Kernaghan, and I’m sure lots, lots more
@grovehillwallah I attended St Edwards catholic primary school at the top of Eastbourne Road. In the light of Brexit, half a dozen friends from ...
I imagine the easiest way for Championship clubs to cut the wage bill would be to return any on-loan Prem players to their home club. We’re this to ha...
@lenmasterman further to your excellent point, I believe by the time the great Italian defender Paulo Maldini retired he was averaging barely one t...
@plato i don’t disagree with your first sentence, indeed, as a Boro fan it would be hypocritical if I did. And yes, FFP was was one of many measur...
How much will NE have to spend is tied up with FFP. However with no gate income until October (?) will the FA suspended the rules and allow owners t...
@deleriad re: Wing and Scholes - it’s funny because it’s true. Scholes started his career as a centre forward but was moved back to midfi...
@andy-r presumably you would agree Fletcher plays 9, so what do you consider Tav’s best position? Is he best at number 10? Could he play as a wing...
I like Wing but he’s a liability when asked to defend and always on the verge of a yellow card when trying to tackle. he would be best played as the...
