  1. Very Interesting... I checked these this morning and wrote them down for my Dad... There's been a few odds shortened since then! O'Neill was 8/1, now 6/1 Poyet was 10/1, now 8/1 Clough was 25/1, now 8/1 Di Matteo was 12/1, now 10/1
  2. I mentioned Phelan in the summer when I started the thread about Next Boro Boss odds. I've thought he'd be perfect for the job ever since he left United. Neville & Meulensteen would also be pretty high on my priorities list - similar to Prowler. People say "we need tried and tested" because of the Southgate experience - but look at the two managers preceding him; Bryan Robson and Steve McClaren. Neither had managerial experience, but both had been part of arguably the best coaching set up in world football. Both also achieved more than any Boro manager in history - League & FA Cup f
  3. How about 'Hate To Say I Told You So' by The Hives? :P
  4. I think we're not far from clicking because we've got a good balance within the squad. On paper, this is a very talented set of footballers who can compete for a top six finish this season. The problem comes when you play a holding midfielder in an advanced position whilst having an attacking midfielder playing in a holding position, don't select the clubs best right back in the starting eleven, drop the player who has almost single handedly made our system work this season and thus won us several points, and filter back every single Boro player to defend set pieces meaning that there's zer
  5. I've posted very rarely recently. Several reasons - being busy is one of them, but a struggle to bring myself to re-live the constant pain and heartache of the last few months of being a Boro fan is also a contributing factor. Regardless of what AV and other posters say, this is not "Typical Boro." Reason being, Boro typically have always given commited performances - even when the going has got rough. There's always been a level of commitment and 'bite' to any Boro side which became synonymous with the club and made sides wary of visiting the Riverside and, before that, Ayresome Park. Tha
  6. I was frustrated last nigth after the game - thought i'd take a night, morning and a moring run to think it over in my head before posting my thoughts... The relaity was - I wasn't expecting anything from yesterdays game. I thoroughly expected us to go the the City Ground, yet again, and lose, yet again - most likely with a lacklustre performance reminiscent of our suitably crap outing against them for Chris Morris's testimonial at the Riverside... My negativity was compounded upon seeing my hated 'false 9' formation being used by us, with my own personal scapegoat-hate figure Emnes as the
  7. Told you... Best finisher at the club! :D ***Blatantly ignores his own negativity pre-kick off...***
  8. If it's anything other than Kamara as the CF with Emnes and Adomah wide, my confidence in getting something from this game will be even lower than before the line ups were announced! Kamara through the middle and that looks like a well balanced line up. Emnes in the middle of a front 3? Not a fan, personally... But as you say (and I mentioend before) - we'll see after the 90 is up... Anyone found that stream yet...?
  9. p_mards! Emnes!? Best finisher!? No way... George Friend all the way!!! :D
  10. Not posted for a while - been busy and sick, but back with aplomb now :D Got to say though - not a fan of this split striker / no centre forward system. Jutkiewicz has been key in our system working away from home - linking up the play and allowing freedom to the wide men. This whole system we've set out for today just doesn't fill me with confidence... Kamara for Carayol - i'd have gone for. Emnes for Juke? Ridiculous... But, we'll see how it goes over the 90...

  14. I'd not worry too much about Becchio and Ayala being in te squad list. It might just mean that if we do get them, they'll have a recall clause in the deal. Naming them in the squads means they could still play if recalled. Wouldn't be ideal for us, but still think they'd both be worth a shout.

  16. Good thinking buddy. Keeps the drama off the forum pages and prevents more long, confusing and angry derailments from happening. Might be able to attend the funeral at 5pm, too... Will have to dust off my suit ;)
  17. Ah! Sorry DS. My link just automatically brings me to this thread! Didn't see the others :)
  18. I'm wondering if the Butterfield signing means we might see Varga utilised more as a RB; competeing with Richardson for the jersey? Whitehead - Butterfield - Leadbitter accross the middle of the park?
  19. He's fit, athletic and good in the air... He sounds like a good player to be able to call upon.
  20. Our midfielders are insanely immense... Butterfield, Leadbitter, Varga and Whitehead... Wow! Wiith AA and Muzzy out wide, and the added option of Emnes or KK operating around The Juke? Our attacking threat is sorted... I've got my fingers crossed for a Craig Dawson loan... Imagine. :D P.S. I'm also happy that it shows that SW from the Echo hasn't got a clue... He said KK would be our only signing... WRONG! :D
  21. It's on the Official Boro site James... I'll take that :D
