Here's the Villa team... Watkins on the bench 😓
@original-fat-bob A statement of intent on keeping him or even maybe an attempt to add a few more millions onto any potential bids?
Team News... A few surprises with Hackney starting with Barlaser and Howson resting on the bench along with Fry - Both Bangura and Engel start but i...
@exmil I guess there will be some degree of picking the team with Tuesday in mind - but then again Boro are already risking all their fit defenders...
@mw-in-darwin Just checked that again and sounds like you're right as it's reported in quite a few places that 'nobody can miss the final because o...
Although Crooks, Hackney and Latte Lath are back in training, I only expect the latter (see what I've done there) to feature from the off with the oth...
@lenmasterman Let's hope the Boro players display as much hunger as you did 😉 and hopefully Boro's stuttering season doesn't prove to be too costly...
@mw-in-darwin I guess I've misinterpreted 'the slate is wiped clean after the quarter finals' - at least Rogers can't pick up two yellows in the se...
Yes sad to hear of Keith Lamb's passing, he was an instrumental figure of the Riverside revolution who was responsible for bringing many of the big na...
@deleriad Glad to hear that any talk of Coburn going out on loan has been knocked on the head - never made sense in the first place given we're pre...
@exmil What a surprise that the Villa fax machine got accidentally unplugged so he can't play for Boro this weekend 🤔
Just noticed that Crystal Palace v Everton 3rd round tie is live on ITV4 tonight at 8pm if anyone is looking to get into the FA Cup mood - unfortunate...
@mw-in-darwin According to the rules of the Carabao Cup - if a player receives two yellow cards in the competition he will be suspended for the nex...
@paulinboro it’s Finn Azaz (Irish Israeli) and apparently we’ve signed him for £2.5m and he can play on Saturday after being recalled from Plymouth...
Quick thank you for the comments guys and it was quite tight squeezing in an opener as I'd forgot Mrs Werder had taken the week off and has organised ...
@jarkko Good news about those three - Crooks and Latte Lath should be relatively match fit but Hackney will need to be eased back in I think.
@malcolm I don't think anyone deserved a 4 after what was a good first half - the problem was Coventry upped their game and pressed better and kept...
Boro just ran out of ideas and energy in the second half and Carrick opted not to gamble with his youngsters - Boro not really in the second half and ...
After a cagey opening 15 minutes as both sides were content to keep possession it's been a really good game of football with Boro looking dangerous on...
@jarkko Glad you're enjoying the normal weather in Finland - it's been so mild over here (around 14 degrees) that even the mosquitoes reappeared wi...
@lenmasterman That was a great clip Len it must have taken hours to hone that throwing accuracy 😉 btw All the gubbins from the question-mark onw...
Thanks for the match preview Andy - excellent as usual and this will indeed be a tough game for heavily depleted and tired Boro team. Not sure I agree...
Team News... Coburn starts with RvdB probably at right-back and Engel in at left-back - other than Bangura the bench is very young!
I was beginning to think Boro didn't want to win this game after Jones missed the sitter of the season and then Howson had his penalty saved but when ...
@malcolm I missed the Rotherham game and hadn't noticed RvdB had been dropped for that game - hopefully Crooks hasn't joined the injured list or is...
Team News... Looks like an unchanged team with Bangura retaining the left-back spot and McGree's last game before his international break on the ben...
The good thing about disappointing results around this time of year is that you don't have to wait too long for the next game and move on. The other g...
Thankfully didn't see the game - though just watched the highlights - and can't believe Boro didn't win that one yesterday. Another missed opportunity...
