  1. Looking at both. Loan initially, permanent in the summer.

  2. Fulham enquired about Britt before, I know he's a different type of player but could see them coming back in for him if Mitrovic's injury is as bad as it seems.

  3. It's Hotspur 😉 We played well yesterday and should have had a point. They should have been down to 10 men but for some 'Liverpool' refereeing. Top tip. There are two bars in the away section. The lower concourse does get very crowded. Make your way upstairs for a better experience. Away pubs. The Elmhurst is usually the designated away pub. However, the Irish Centre by White Hart Lane station is also away friendly. Personally I would go to the Antwerp Arms or the Beehive which also allow away fans. The Beehive is halfway on the long walk from Seven Sisters undergrou

  4. 🤣 sounds like a Boro medical. “Can he kick a ball?” “Yeah” “sound, get him signed”.

  5. Sounds like a cop out but one of those things where I can't really say as it would put someone's job at risk. But I would be massively surprised if he isn't here really soon Edit.... Not someone working for the club. I have no inside info from the club. Just someone who knows something in this particular case

  7. I really can't say any more than I have, but the reason I suggest he will be signing is genuine. And the person that told me I would absolutely stake my life on. After my parents and wife this person is the person I trust the most with anything Edit... On a separate note, Lawrence shankland being scouted by qpr. Scored 25 goals this season (granted for Dundee) so he knows where the goal is. Should be relatively cheap replacement if britt was to leave.

  8. No clue on that side. But he isn't short of a Bob or two. Maybe Mr Gibson could buy 10000 season tickets at the new revised price of a thousand pound each. That would inject 10 million into the club of his own money. Seems more plausible than selling the stadium to himself!! Not likely to do this though given how much he has ploughed into his new house.

  10. I don't care about the result from this match as long as the lads have a go. I realised yesterday that, for the first time since Karanka left, I am excited about our games again. That is what I care about. I don't mind our having dropped points yesterday when we probably should have been out of sight at half time - I care that they worked as a team and kept trying even when Derby were on top and when Derby scored from that cross. Even though last year's results were better on paper, I dreaded the games. It felt like there was no heart or identity to the team. Somehow it just wasn't OUR team -

  12. Come on man we’d won 4 in a row before this game and clearly deserved to win, who is settling for lower mid table? If we keep playing like that we will only go one way and will no way finish bottom half. Got to say I enjoyed that game so much, it’s great to see the team really attack as a team and not 2 or 3 isolated players. We had so many players in support. Big shout out to Coulson, what a game he had.

  13. Just back from the game today. The last game I was at was Huddersfield away. What a difference! My ambitions at the start of the season were not promotion or playoffs. All I wanted this season was to first of all not get relegated, and after that I just wanted to see progression. Progression in terms of style of play and progression in terms of some of the youth coming through. I am not ashamed to admit that this time last month I was calling for Woodgate to go. As much as I wanted him to succeed, I just couldn’t see, from our play, what he was trying to implement or what

  15. Thank you. I think Woodgate in his press conference after yesterdays game said both Ayala and Britt are travelling to London tomorrow with rest of squad. He added Britt could be fit for Fulham. I guess picture will be clearer by end of the week in regards to Britt.

  16. Btw anyone interested in the Gibson house there is some guy doing a blog on it. Seems like it’s a huge scale talking about pool houses and staff houses, this guy seems to think there’s no chance of it becoming a hotel/business. The place literally looks like a palace. https://ravenswickhall.com/blog/

  19. Correct Blanco 26 members officially in the league so thats 25 home and 25 away games. I have a few tricks up my sleeve to get the full seasons fixtures played but I know it will be tight,thanks to the International friendly in March. Sorry I never got back to you Macca computer problems with my keyboard I could see your question but could not reply. But you may like to know I am a proper computer engineer now after I Googled my problem and fixed it tonight. 😁

  26. No but let's say inside 18 months he's no longer a regular in the side and ideally we'd like to move him on but we can't. That three year deal, if it is a three year deal, won't look as clever. Howson has had a few decent months, I still think he isn't that good defensively but for whatever reason people seem to ignore his mistakes, I guess because he's not a defender. I doubt anyone would be that happy seeing him playing in midfield as people seem to be fairly critical of him when he plays there. Finally, we don't have to give a contract like that to anyone, we're choosing to, which is fa

  28. Ben Gibson's day to day activities will be football related and therefore we would be unable to show he is a genuine employer of Bulkhaul, whose day to day activities are not football related.

  31. Considering our packed fixture list I wouldn’t be surprised to see Woodgate start a few more academy lads like Wood and Liddle. Woodgate has apparently said that Meijas and Clayton will be starting, and I’m imagining the likes of Johnson, Gestede and Nchema could start also. I would happily see us field a weakened team so that we can be fresh for the Fulham game on Friday night. Roberts needs to build up game time so he should start. Nchema could do with the same.

  35. Duvel I agree. Earlier in the season we had a great deal of draws and lost a few we really should have taken points but recently results have changed in our favour and more importantly, we look better. That said I think we can agree improvement can be seen in results and play but that does not mean we should settle for a mid/bottom of the table, although personally I had predicted a season mid table finish and would judge it a fair season. I’ll say one thing and that is, it would be a boring forum if we all agree with each other, so as long as it’s club related, not personnel or profanity l

  36. Regarding howson I definitely think that he is going to get a lesser contract which is probably why he’s getting an extra year. A three year deal is going to see him turn 35 so a two year deal would have been ideal for us. That said he is the kind of professional and with a near perfect injury history I don’t expect him to decline very much. also if we keep such a young squad he is the kind of guy you want around.

  38. I've said repeatedly that I enjoyed the game and it's a big improvement. I'm not happy to be in the bottom half and I still think there's more room for improvement. It's as simple as that, I'm allowed my own opinion aren't I?

  42. I honestly don't mind people getting a bit carried away right now. It's far better than people *** and moaning about how he hasn't been sacked yet. There was a fella I heard on the way back who was saying it just shows you what can happen when you give someone time and I'm with him on this. Woodgate might end up being a good manager for us, he might not. But one thing is for certain, we haven't changed manager between changing the kind of performances we've been putting in. If that's not proof that sometimes a manager just needs time and a rub of the green before you think about getting the gu

  44. Exciting news bar the Ayala stuff. Is the Clarke deal still on or is that petering out. It's still early days but Robert's looks like how I remember him at Celtic. If he can keep injury free what a player he is going to be. I wonder why Norwich didnt give him a chance.

  45. No, it was poor play from him. When he's responsible for something I'll happily say so. He and we are obviously being asked to play out from the back and such but you need to know when to do it and when not to. Because he has no left foot at all he is at a disadvantage playing where he does so he needs to know when to just play it safe, especially as he's often in the left back slot. The goal however was a complete fluke, if people feel the need to apportion blame to one of our players then fair enough but it was no more than a mishit cross.

  46. It wasnt the result the performance deserved but what is encouraging is we are now creating chances even after going into a lead which hasnt felt like happening over the last few seasons. I can now actually see us getting 3+ goals in a game now. I think we are capable of handing out some thrashings if we carry on in this vein of form.

      I said all along that Carrick would commit to the Boro, I dont think he's done enough for a bigish PL club to take a gamble on him, not knocking MC one bit, im happy he's staying, if it's true, great business by the club, saying that if he has signed you would have thought it would have been made public though

      I think the poor January transfer window, the cluster£u(k of the Early Bird season cards allied to the team and Carrick being booed after some underwhelming and tactically calamitous showings didn't and still don't lend themselves to any announcements aimed at positive PR. I know many will be ecstatic if Carrick has indeed signed a new contract but equally there will be a few that are somewhat less than convinced. It's all about timing and getting the maximum out of it, poor results and questionable tactics doesn't make for maximum hype and spin. meaning the news (if true) is saved for another week.
