One or two observations on the "Riverside experience" yesterday not related to the football I found the lack of information from the tannoy frustrating , the team was only read out when the teams entered the field, enterance music was late both first half and especially second half, all in all a very very amateurish attempt and not what you would expect of an expensive promotion to an 18,000 audience Another observation that seemed to differ from last year, where were the police? Although not needed for anything in the ground the only police i saw were a couple of bikes escorting the awa

Having got over the initial disapointment, i think there are one or two harsh comments in this thread. Yes we started to defend deeper as the game drew to a close and yes their equiliser felt as though it was somehow inevitable and yes we have got to learn to be far better at killing a game when in front, but overall i thought it was a better than average performance aginst a very experienced, very physical Portsmouth team On the plus side, Emnes and McDonald looked sharp Williams had a good game in the position i believe he should stay in and Bailey was impresive and grafted tirelessly for t

Just seen weather forecast, it seems as conditions may play a part today !!! gonna get me snorkle and flippers out just in case

Loads of positives to look forward to if the first half against PSV is anything to go by, good passing football with good movement off the ball. One or two loan signings and i think this could be a very enjoyable season with i,m sure highs and lows but am sure by the end of the season we will all be content that we are going in the right direction with the correct guy very much in charge and putting his stamp on the way the team plays and MFC overall

Am a season ticket holder so my question really relates to pick up points

I fancied going on the supporters club buses to a few away games this season and have just booked online for Leeds away. Question : How does this work ? Do you just turn up at one of the three collection points and get on the bus there? Any answers would be appreciated

£3.00 for a pie where you need an asbestos mouth to eat it !

Very poor, never mind improving things on the field, this was not acceptable

Joking apart, the big money must be on the likes of Leicester, West Ham and Forest and theres always one side up there who is below the radar and this year fancy it could be Ipswich or Hull so heres my teams in the end of season shake up 1. West Ham 2. Leicester 3. Hull 4. Forest 5. Boro 6. Brighton

5th Miller 16

Sometimes somebody who has not impressed previousley when given the chance steps up and takes it. Having seen two of the three local friendlies and admitidley he only got brief runouts in both i believe that Lee Miller showed good touches and could prove everyone wrong and become a useful squad member as backup to skippy and emnes. I do however believe we need a big guy ala Ismael Miller, Jon Parkin, Jonathon Stead etc just to give us a diferent dimension if needed

I thought keeper was ok apart from goal 3 On Saturday 2-0 to Boro Ripley McMahon Bates McManus Bennet/Hoyte Robson Bailey Williams Zemma Emnes McDonald Wouldn,t be surprised if Mogga found a place for Smallwood ?

The crowd was anounced at 3,336, at least 2000 (more like 2500) were Boro, so don,t know where he gets his figures from !!! He is getting a bit negative, shame as i wouldn,t like to see him spoil his special place in Boro history

I thought McManus was sound and as daft as it sounds the defence was ok apart from the GK. Goal 1 - Header from corner in 6 yard box Goal 2 - Ball bounced around in goal area, Coyne flapped and missed (claimed foul but ref correct in my opinion) Goal 3 - Fast counter attack, good cross and good headed finish - good goal Goal 4 - Loopy cross come shot that sailed over Coynes head So in my opinion goals 1,2 and 4 were down to GK, just the way it sometimes goes ps. Julio Arca was sat behind us and was subjected to some pleading songs from the faithful...which he enjoyed and took in good s

Bates and McManus for me, Williams is more effective in the midfield

Good first half, but second half was poor. Three poor goals to concede and heres hoping a new goalie can be found in the next few weeks. I would rather get this out of the way now, and have never been one to pay too much attention to friendley results Good performances from Zemmama and Bailey but i was quite impressed with Darlo, hope they have a good season

Thinking of coming down to the friendly on Saturday but can find little information on the official website What time ko and do you just pay at the gate ??

nothing recieved here, beginning to get a sweat on!

Wouldn,t bother me either, he had a good spell on loan at Derby last year

Have the season tickets been issued yet ???

Have joined , hope thats ok

It s not about mowbs or mackay its money...........ah well, last laugh for us because i,m convinced we will be in a higher position than Cardiff come the end of the season

Don,t see this as bad, i for one have never really been too impressed

The thing i remember about him apart from the curly perm was that he had all the brazilian magic with the ball but he also was as hard as nails and could certainly put a tackle or two in

Boro lad born in boro, lived in northumberland alnwick for 25 years - 4 hour round trip to home games I actually like all north east teams to do well as long as we are top of the pile. Living up here a***st all the over the top geordies i sometimes have to laugh at their problems whilst having to concede they are a well supported club that has had some less than brilliant management at the top Have a soft spot for Hartlepool and have a big dislike for Leeds (courtesy of an altercation over 30 yers ago !) Prediction of finish this year 1 West Ham 2 Notts Forest 3 Burnley 4 Boro
