  1. Still trying to take credit. I didn't hear him come out and talk about his contribution to us last season. An absolute conman and I'd marry Warnock compared to the two of them.

  2. Woodgate is an arrogant bully, I didn't want him here and it was personal as well as professional. If you are a certain age and live in Middlesbrough you'll know he had a bad reputation for a reason. He should never have been given the job. And professionally he was not ready to be given the job, it was far too big for him and that's on Gibson.

  3. A very respected and knowledgable (also a student of Pulis) once said that it’s harder to play against 10 men. I think we’re underestimating the genius of Tony in employing this tactic

  4. Yeah going down to 10 men is never really something anyone wants (other than the opposition). They had 1 shot on target in the 2 games they went down to 10 men. But they only had 2 shots on target in the 2 games they didn't have a man sent off so either way it's not exactly great reading. But regardless I think Pulis is heavily in favour of a defensive style, especially judging his time with us, alongside his previous clubs too. Mainly for FFP reasons it would be poetic if Sheffield Wednesday and Derby both went down. 😂

  5. We won down there last season under Warnock so to do it two years running would maybe be a little optimistic. That said last season's result earlier this year will have absolutely no bearing on this season's fixture as we saw against Swansea. The key thing is that deep down feeling that we won't get beat (despite the Huddersfield and Norwich setbacks) is riding high so a draw for me as a minimum, although I'd love a victory. Most seasons you look at the top teams who you would happily take an away draw from and then the middling to lower teams where you would want a win. That we are only

  7. My personal favourite quote from Woodgates interview with Carragher - “I just wanted to get away after I was sacked, but we were in a lockdown. So I went to Ibiza for 4 weeks.” That quote alone tells you we were absolutely mental to give woodgate the job at boro 😂 couldn’t wait to go and get off his face

  8. What a massive Championship win over Swansea City at the Riverside on Wednesday evening to keep us ticking away nicely with the chasing pack Ducan Watmore putting us in a great position with 2 goals, the 2nd was an excellent finish, then made his way for Saville to come on & be part of a defensive barrier to keep Swansea at bay, a master stroke from the manager, we need to wrap Watmore up in cotton wool if he’s as good as that at finishing There were some

  9. Love that quote Brunners has posted from the Stoke end as it sums up how I always used to feel about Warnock and his sides! They've conceded the joint most goals at home (along with Derby at 13) and whoever is at the back out of Chester, Batth and Shawcross is there to be got at with a bit of pace. Another game against one of the top scorers in Tyrese Campbell so let's hope our defence are on their usual form. Boro to nick it 2-1.

  10. "Every game against him is a *** pantomime. He even looks like Widow Twanky." Oh no he doesn't! I suspect this won't be a classic game, or top of the EFL on Quest running order. Probably only be a single goal in the game, but we're so hot and cold atm, I have no idea which way the result will go. I'd settle for an away draw against another there-or-thereabouts team, but a win would really put pressure on the other teams near the top, so fingers crossed Watmore has his shooting boots on - especially since neither of our fit strikers tend to.

  15. I guess thats the thing we need to bear in mind. While we are playing better than we have done for some time and have shown we needn't fear anyone in this division, the highly unusual circumstances (I wanted to avoid saying "unprecedented") football finds itself in right now, mean that its going to be harder than ever to keep winning or unbeaten runs going. Our small squad, coupled with the rammed fixture list and the inevitable fatigue / injuries, plus the lack of crowds (or very limited crowds going forward), are resulting in more widely varying performances and results. So I

  17. I think the general feeling around his appointment wasn't personal, it wasn't an agenda against him, it's what putting him in charge represented, the downfall of the club, some referred to it as the idea that our club simply hadn't bottomed out yet and putting Woodgate in charge and what happened with him in charge only created evidence of that. In the end, nobody was gonna look beyond that when results weren't going his way, they weren't going to stand by him because it meant standing by the club and their decision to appoint him too. I had a hard time with it because I wanted him to do

  18. Each dose is separate though in a glass vial, so I guess that all that means is that once you have taken a complete pack out of deep freeze storage, then the whole pack has to be used within 5 days - and stored in fridge during that period. So, if you have daily or every second/third day deliveries to each centre administering it, all they need to do is ensure they use them up sequentially. I’m sure they will have enough people lined up at each centre daily to get through each pack the day it arrives or the day after. Think Uwe is talking about the charge from the GP to the gov’

  19. @Duvel They've also been training more people up (within the NHS) and they've also ramped up recruitment too so that they have a lot more people that are able to administer the vaccine. I think there is also active plans for the Military to set up vaccination centres (I think they are currently setting one up in either Bristol or Birmingham, I can't remember which). I think we've ordered 40m (20m doses) of the Pfizer vaccine, we've also ordered I think 100m (50m doses) of the Oxford one too. I also think we've ordered millions of the other vaccines too (Moderna and Glaxosmith). I thi

  22. Good post AR but here's the thing and from what I have seen we are as good if not better than a lot of teams on showings so far. Honestly believe we will just keep plodding on under the rader and then suddenly we will be in a very strong position.

  23. I know we keep mentioning our "light weight" squad but are we that really in comparison to others disregarding the 3 demoted PL clubs from last season? Surely most others in our league are in the same situation bar one or two?

  24. Indeed. You need skin like a rhino to be a football manager these days. Even when you're doing well theres always somebody having a go at you for some reason, (not playing pretty enough football, leaving star players on the bench etc.)

  25. Why so modest😜 In all seriousness I have this down as a 0-0 which will be a decent point away against a fellow top-6 rival. Can we win it? Sure we can, but we'll need to be more clinical and not end up inother situation like at huddersfield where big misses cost us.

  31. There are also the memory T and B cells though. Once the antibodies have gone, these cells remember the virus and as soon as they encounter it, can produce antibodies again and start attacking from the off. The memory B cells particularly stick around for a long time after infection. E.g. people who got the smallpox vaccine still had high levels of B cell immunity to smallpox 60 years later. That's why there are so few cases of reinfection with covid 19, and the people who do get reinfected are generally less ill.

  32. He got plenty of support where it should matter most - in the ground. Even on those long winless runs it isn't like the atmosphere turned toxic and his name was sung loudly home and away. If he's that rustled by comments made on social media he should probably forget having another crack at management.

  33. There are apparently around one and three quarter million who have tested positive for the virus in the UK. At a crude guess if that many have had it to the point of seeking and getting a test and/or treatment (even if it was just to go home, take an aspirin or two and isolate) then I would suspect that at least double that many have had it if not even three to four times that amount (or even more), especially bearing in mind that young people don't seem to suffer major symptoms other than a cold or mild flu. It would be interesting if the government put up some figures on Population and

  34. Just to add to this, there are some very early findings that the antibodies and the overall immune response, is much better when someone is infected with COVID than other viruses. So the antibodies could well last longer than 6 months or so. But obviously you then have to rely on a large proportion of the population catching it and surviving it to achieve herd immunity. Whereas with mass vaccination you can achieve the same results without needing people to catch it.

  35. You are right, but antibodies will only last for a relatively short time (upto 6 month roughly) and they decrease in number over that time too. So you then become prone to re-infection again. Where as these vaccines illicit much stronger immune reactions, that have the potential to last significantly longer and also make you much more resistant to re-infection.

  42. Bloke was a clown as a manager. Bizarre decisions, bizarre comments, bizarre appointment. It's not an agenda when a half decent manager takes basically the same squad from being at risk of relegation to battling in the promotion mix.
