Just watched the 10 minute extended highlight. It makes us look like a decent attacking side that kept knocking on the door before finally making the ...

Simply put, that was a performance and a result that will change no one's mind. It was the absolute bare minimum expected of a result and not even tha...

Listening to first half for my sins. This feels like the worst of both worlds. I could cope with a shambolic loss if it led to Warnock going and a res...

RE: Boro v Peterborough

I suppose this is a chance for Warnock to show his quality. We have about as many defenders out as Reading did when they beat us; if they can do it, s...

I have no idea how this is going to go and I'm not sure what Warnock is trying to do with the team. Where we have had spells of good play is when we h...

@ken Karanka's Championship figures will be stellar but his Premier league stats may be as bad as the worst of any of our top division stats. (Just ...

The whole Emma Hayes thing was a bit of trolling from a twitter account. No reason why she couldn't manage us but because she would presumably be the ...

RE: Hull City v Boro

At this point you have to say that the season is over. To get into the playoffs will require a run of form and results that Warnock has never looked l...

Every game is always massive and so is this one. Lose against Hull and we're back to square 0. You normally say "square 1" but beating Sheffield Utd r...
