My view - which I know is not a popular one - is that Gibson has been extremely unprofessional and if one of our non-local players behaved in the same way then fans would be absolutely furious. I also suspect that people may be disappointed if, as is sounding possible, he rejoins us because it will take him a while to get back to the form he had before he left us - if he ever does reach the same level. He is not the magic solution to our problems which people seem to expect him to be. I don't think coming back would be a good move for him because expectations are such that he is being set u
We know Ben Gibson is capable of vice-captaining a promotion side and looked good for us in the Prem.
We know Dael Fry performed poorly in a side around the relegation zone in the Champ.
If the choice was between the two, it's a very easy one..
We've got a global pandemic, a looming recession, a clown as the leader of our country, a racist madman in charge of the most powerful country in the world but still the worst thing for me is having Woodgate in charge of the Boro.
I had a glance at the other teams fixtures and they are just as if not more difficult than ours.
I dont attach much weight anymore.to who plays who as so many freak results but those saying we are doomed due to our remaining fixtures might gain comfort in looking at our rivals fixtures.
However, for me its simple. We need 9 or 10pts so we simply need to take care of our own business. I am quietly confident we can now we got a full squad. Utb
they must give a toss given as they are often the clubs winning it
would devalue the cups even more removing the champions league clubs from them, which would mean everyone gets much less money, as its going to be harder to sell the tv rights and sell more sponsorship for more money every year when you basically downgrade the competition and remove the best teams from it, epically internationally they are paying for them teams as they draw far more interest in them teams than they do
we are not the only team that's had some crazy injury issues this season, so anything to help relieve that pressure has to help us,
and think not having to replay teams will benefit us more, i'm all for no replays as i'd rather take a prem team to penalties than a replay where they have the players to fix where they went wrong the first time (as we saw vs chelsea in the semis this year lol). going to be fun to see more smaller teams down the pyramid getting some giant killings, love out like that me seeing a prem team get taken out by a non league or league 2 team and you know its something their fans will remember for ages, epically if they put a lil run together.
