It's a fair point MBP. Dijk, Crooks and Jones worked a bit of magic last season and i think we need to replicate that on the left as well. That said we are far from a settled side that the mo and therein I believe lies our problem, especially at the back. There is a lot to sort and a lot of new peeps to accomodate across the team but If we are looking at a back three then surely it has to be either bola/fry/dyjk or leninhan instead of Fry. Can't currently see a place for the fall over guy (even though I like him), and he certainly can't do an effective job in crook's position. I like CW but my

I prefer the old saying, "one more point than the team is seventh gets you a place in the play offs" ......and then....welcome to the lottery. Sorry I really must put the whiskey away and go to bed

Boro v Chelsea (FA Cup QF) 0-2
Roborov replied to AnglianRed's topic in Match Day Threads 2021/22 Season
I really should have gone to bed, but I have, for my birthday, a bottle of Dalwhinne Winter gold. A wee dram later and I'm back. Answers to questions are: 1. The obvious one...will Boro make it a hat-trick of Premier League scalps? I obviously need more whiskey cos the answer is still no, Chelsea are so much stronger than the previous 2. Will the game be won in 90 minutes, Extra Time or will it go to penalties? I think we could take this to extra time 3. Do you plan on throwing eggs at Chelsea's team bus when they rock up to the Riverside? Cadbury's mini eggs fire -
Boro v Chelsea (FA Cup QF) 0-2
Roborov replied to AnglianRed's topic in Match Day Threads 2021/22 Season
I know the league, and getting out of it, is the be all and end all. But since this draw came out of the hat everything else has paled into insignificance. The dog doesn't get walked (I don't actually have a dog), I don't speak to my wife (I do actually have a wife), I can't be arsed about work (I don't actually have a job),. We would have appeared to have played a few very important championship games which passed me by. Wars, beheadings and 800 P&O staff have drifted by without much more than a tut (I'm doing this for comedic effect so please take a breath). But now, in a day and a half,- 370 replies

FA Cup Quarter Final Draw ( Chelsea H) and comments
Roborov replied to RiseAgainst's topic in Boro Forum
It's a fair point RB which makes me grateful we have SG in charge. I wouldn't want to have to deal with the dilemma of choosing whether to continue to support the Boro if we had dodgy owners and I hope I'm not put in that position any time soon. I do however agree with Borodane, if not for the 20k supporters who followed Chelsea before the dodgy Russian (or the 10k that came with the premier league) then certainly for those who have since joined the Russian bandwagon. -
Sheffield Utd v Boro 4-1 (Balogun)
Roborov replied to boro-unger's topic in Match Day Threads 2021/22 Season
Well beaten by the better side on the night. They were physically, mentally and tactically better. We never got into our stride because they closed us down all over the park and as we couldn't play through them our strikers inability to hold the ball up meant we had no plan b. I think there is litle to choose between 8/10 teams all chasing the play offs and if one raises their game a bit and the other doesn't hit the mark then results like tonight happen. Tough to watch and i feel for the 2,500 boro fans who made the journey. I think we will get bullied at millwall as well so the tea -
Boro v Tottenham Hotspur (FA Cup) 1-0 (Coburn)
Roborov replied to boro-unger's topic in Match Day Threads 2021/22 Season
Great game, great night on Teesside and we did it on national telly. We had a lot of control. Very professional. Howson, tav, dijksteel immense. Can't believe we did it again. Been a long time since it felt this good. Next round draw on thursday 7.45pm i think. Bring on city ha ha. I think i may have wet myself -
Boro v Tottenham Hotspur (FA Cup) 1-0 (Coburn)
Roborov replied to boro-unger's topic in Match Day Threads 2021/22 Season
Thanks BU, didn't even know it was pancake day doh! - Will Lumley be ‘rested’ for this game after some calamitous mistakes recently? You know I think Wilder will stick with him and he will have a belter of a game (I've not even started drinking yet) - What will you be having on your pancakes? Lemon juice and golden syrup - If you could have one current Tottenham player in the Boro team, who would it be? Son (and Kane who is very able) - Scores & Formation? The usual except McGree for Tav and Tav for Taylor - Ho -
Barnsley V Boro 3-2 (Sporar (pen) Owngoal)
Roborov replied to Downsouth's topic in Match Day Threads 2021/22 Season
As I sit here suffering man flu (I get no sympathy at home!) I'm struggling to call this and I think its because I have no idea who I am supporting anymore ha ha. WBA was typical, we have all the play, look a bit unsettled at the back and they score their first goal since the old king died. That bit I'm used to, the fact that yet again we turned it around and won the bloody thing fills me with both happiness and confusion. So the old Boro fan inside me would say, we are on a good run, Barnsley aren't great and at the bottom of the table, we will get beat 2-0 and both Barnsley scorers -
Anyone know what Ayresome went for ? or did we have to give the developer money to take the old stands away. 50k either way ha ha? and what a waste of money Charlie's sports club was. Amer, now there a man who could give Mel Morris a run for his money........... except he never spent anything

Thanks Guys and I'll bear in the mind the Trump/Johnson methodology 😆

Opps, that went before I could sort the spelling. Anyway, I'll been loitering around one Boro for a fair few seasons and decided to take the plunge. As you can see I'm not what you would call a keyboard warrior and don't do social media but wanted to contribute to this forum as it is, on the whole, a great place for Boro debate. Keep up the good work guys and he's to 3 points tomorrow

Just like to say hello. I have successfully made my first post ever. When I say successfully I mean I got my facts wrong, put the incorrect value of Pride Park and spent the last two posts apologising ha ha. I don't think I'll last long Long time Boro fan, fist match 66/67 season as a five year old. Been there thin and thin and then the Robson/Riverside reviolution

oh god, 50k I put ha ha. that's some serious overvaluation by Mr Morris 🤦♂️ Sorry 50m, what a first post, I win dimwit of the day.

Will, thanks for the reply, I appreciated we are all a bit weary of DCFC now but while the thread is still here I'll keep pulling at it. (maybe not any longer) Thanks for correcting me. After more searching I found more details. The confusion obviously comes from how some of the media reported it and my aged frazzled brain !
