  1. It has though, he's got the job. I suppose it's like if you want pizza for tea, but everyone else decides they want Chinese. You can either sit and sulk looking at photos of pizzas, or just get over it and enjoy your sweet & sour chicken. I've kind of held off on giving my opinion on Woodgate, largely because I don't have one. I wanted Jokanovic because he has a track record of getting teams promoted. I wouldn't have been completely against Karanka for the same reason (though I never thought that was likely). I wasn't overly concerned about Woodgate being part of Pulis' reg

  2. Weren't we linked with Praet as well. He looks Arsenal bound this summer. McGuire Lindelof Ziyech Meunier and Praet. To be fair De Roon has also done well for himself since leaving us. The problem is not identifying the players , its getting the deals over the line.

  3. Bit of an update for those who want it... woody has spoken with Klopp... Keane with Poch... wouldn’t be surprised to see first team fringe players on loan to us

  4. This conversation - CT - I dont know why you changed your stance Everyone else - because of these reasons CT - your reasons are wrong, you're not allowed to interpret things differently than I do. Why ask for reasons if you're simply not going to accept them?

  6. Brunners would be one of my last choices as your "dummie" account - who could actually be arsed to set up a separate account just to argue with themselves? Sometimes I genuinely wonder what goes on in peoples heads - we've got some right ones on here.

  7. If you're suggesting that Brunners is a dummy profile of mine then actually I do take great offence at that ? I imagine Brunners wouldn't exactly be thrilled either although it would mean a step up in the world for him at least ?

  8. You don't argue with yourself, but you use your dummie profiles to create arguments (them all being silly and radical) and then you try to step in with your reasoning opinions, which have been good at times, but sometimes you really just want to argue for the sake of arguing.. Not to find out what is right or wrong... But it's nice to see, that people are stepping up and talk back ? No offence in this, just a tinfoil hat opinon!

  9. Lindelof too, meant to join us on loan, but Benfica kept moving the goal posts. Then they sold him to United for a big fee!

  10. I love Howson, have done since he was at Leeds, not someone I'd want us to lose.

  11. I don't know why but I just feel more positive than others about Woodgate's appointment, I like the fact we have an ex striker(and a quality one at that) as one of our coaching staff that's a big positive, plus we haven't got a bad squad, Wing & Tavernier will come into their own. A mate of mine was at one of those Boro dinner do's and was talking to Woodgate about Nathan Wood, Woodgate said a better player than he was at his age, he's got the full package he's that good,

  13. I think I get what CT has been talking about, even if the mood shift is a bit less pronounced than he is making out. I was disappointed myself when Woody was announced, but I've had a bit of time to calm down, watched the press conference and been mildly impressed at what's been said - although they have to follow through with what they've been saying or it's all for nought. Then I remembered the above post I wrote back in January, and I realised that I was never really against getting Woody in in the first place! I think as names like Jokanovic, Reizeger, Stendel, even getting

  15. No, I think a lot of people (myself included) fell into the trap that woody was some drug fuelled racist moron who would be an embarrassment to have as the leader of the club. When people saw how articulate he was and the attention to detail surrounding his backroom staff we thought, hey, maybe this guy and his team actually do deserve a chance.

  16. Could it also be that the people who were absolutely categorically against him are not posting as much as the people who are willing to give him a chance?

  17. Dude all you've done is highlight exactly what I'm saying people are doing. He wasn't most of our first choice - I wasn't super against him, but he wasn't my first choice. I have never tried to claim otherwise. I'm a functioning adult with the ability to be swayed when presented with new evidence. Now he's hired and I've heard him talk and heard what the club want to do I'm happy to let him have a go and bring a bit of excitement back into my footballing world. I don't even know what you're arguing about anymore, as far as I can tell you're arguing just for the sake of it - wh

      As soon as  I saw this I liked it even if it's a template to work from it just seems right.   The blue and black element is Ideal for away kits. Who doesn't like the Inter colours

      Not even bothered. Season dead. We will lose, but it's all about recruitment for next season now. Bin loan players off if we have no intention of signing them. Give our own players a chance.

      this pritty much nails it, don't need to go reiventing the wheel with it or but a modern twist .  Shape, colours, perfect.  Club and town Identity and history involved and looks dancing in my opinion.  Ships or the transporter happy with either.

      It probably goes against the grain for many but the Transporter Bridge isn't exactly iconic apart from an eight mile radius South, East and West of it. It's not even given a thought by people living to the North side of the Tees. Let's face it, it's usually under repair and out of order and even when "operational" neither practical nor functional. Being brutal, the Tees Flyover or even Newport Bridge are probably more recognised by people from outside of the area. Granted, it's old and quaint but other than that it's hardly the Tyne Bridge or Sydney Harbour Bridge which we built and I wouldn't want either of those on the badge. The Wilton Cooling towers are more instantly connected to Teesside by the rest of the Country and that (hopefully) isn't a consideration. If we do have to have something additional to the rampant Roary then let it be the ships which is a nod to our past and with the upcoming Freeport a nod to a hopefully successful future plus we know how supportive SG has been towards the Freeport. The Hogwarts badge coincides with the bleakest period at the Riverside and far from me being superstitious but it does seem more than a coincidence. Personally I'd prefer to revert to the badge which encompassed the most successful period in our 150 year history with just a subtle change of date.
