Fabrizio Ravanelli has been sticking the boot in on his former Boro team-mates in a Q&A-style interview for The Athletic website and this is what the White Feather had to say about life on Teesside - including his hopes of returning to the Riverside to become Steve Gibson's manager.
Having had the dubious privilege of writing about the ill-fated 1996/97 season for FourFourTwo magazine and for my book Boro Tales, this interview not only confirms that despite being a class player he must have been a nightmare to play with if you weren't up to his level but it also shows that he's got a
Coulson looked really good in the last few games when he was playing left wing IMO and it felt like his natural position to me, although he didn't really look bad at LB either tbf..
I can see Friend staying on but only on greatly reduced terms (I'm assuming he'll be on about £20k a week at the mo, from the Prem days). Wasn't the plan was to play him more as a CB this/last season? he hasn't really got a chance to show us what he's capable of there, and pace shouldn't be an issue if he's good.
On paper Johnson should be fairly easy to replace, but like people have said - he has his mom
I could be wrong, but I think the second yellow was so soft that the referee knew exactly what he was doing when he did it.
No chance he'd have given a yellow card for such a minor incident if he'd thought it was leading to a red card.
Very lucky considering Martinez got two yellows but got away with it due to the penalties not being regarded as the same game, which doesn't really make sense to me
Yeah, I get that.
Like last night, Real Madrid were played off the park by Man City but have scraped through to a major semi-final because City couldn't finish and they've scrapped away goals.
Tonight, Aston Villa were lucky to beat Lille on penalties, who were much the better team on the night.
