Nailed it!

Probably everyone including the manager unless you actually believe Pulis sees Bamford as a natural fit for that position, in which case you'd have to question his judgement on anything football related. You’d have to question almost all he’s previous managers and coaches judgement too because they seem to think bamfords best position is out wide too Absolutely. Question them. Because I've watched the kid play....lots. He is a bloody good forward, and a fairly poor winger. Seriously are we questioning his best position to make ourselves feel happy about him leaving. He's a strike

I don't post on here as much as I used to but I'm looking for a bit of feedback on some guided exercise videos I've been putting up on YouTube recently. As a keen runner I've used similar videos over the years including the likes of Sufferfest, Virtual Active and also apps like Zwift which inspired me to try and make my own. The link below one is one from Angkor, Cambodia. The footage is from the Channel owner but I edited it, applied the ambient sound, effects and workout guidance prompts. I'm no certified running coach or professional video editor so this is just a hobby for me but I know t

Because Iran not like Fifa where you just pick up a controller and the players instantly respond to your commands. There's little time on the training pitch with games on Boxing Day, December 30th and January 1st. 3 games in 7 days - and the likelihood is no full training the day after a match, so even if they're called in on Christmas Day that's only 3 days full training with Liddle. That's no time with which to get a new game plan going. You make good points mate but as I'm sure you know its amazing how players all of a sudden start pulling their weight when a manager is sacked, whet

Taller than Javier Mascherano like, just saying :) Massively depends on formation and obviously talent but yes, 5'9" would be too small to play CB in the Championship.

Spot on Betamaxman, If he actually is a troll then with over 1000 posts to date just ignore him and admire his dedication.

Done. COME ON BORO!

I'm in

What a warrior on the pitch and by all accounts a great bloke off it too. One of my Boro hero's. RIP Ugo!

Bugger! With Fabio injured the last thing we wanted is Friend picking up a knock.

According to club sources, Ramsdens demanded their cup back, it seems that we couldn't keep up the payments on it. There was more interest on the cup, than there was in the cup. Hang on lads, that same success was also the trigger for the extra season ticket sale that helped us to fund Kieron Dyer's taxi to the Riverside.

The team AK put out tonight certainly suggests he thinks so or we'd be playing a much more weakened team. The League is the priority obviously but winning is a habit too!

In 2013 his number plate was T10 TEV. It was in all the papers at the time. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2358855/Newcastle-midfielder-Cheick-Tiote-fight-claims-used-false-Belgian-driving-permit-UK-licence.html Might have changed it since mind or have an alternative one.

Money well spent - no! Did I expect and hope for more - yes! However, as soon as we signed him the fee is irrelevant. At that point he's just another member of the squad and Karanka's job is to compare him to the rest of the available players and if he's good enough select him. On that basis, in the main, he's easily been worth his place in the team in my opinion.

Ian Baird, no single moment why but remember thinking he would be a nightmare to play against as a defender.

Absolutely devastating news, Ali was an integral part of some incredible Boro memories. RIP Ali.

I'm totally enjoying this season. Like everyone, I've been frustrated at times with results and with some of the team selections but the position we've been in throughout has been exciting, as have both transfer windows and the constant anticipation pre game of the team 'clicking' - has it happened yet ... probably not? Will it happen ... I bloody hope so? And if it does just how good could we be? Yep I'm enjoying this season!

I agree with them. But if he garuantees promotion he's worth every penny why though? The guy is like..a pure goalscorer. Surely that's the one kind of player that will transition to the PL provided you can provide him the chances? Don't get me wrong I'd love to get promoted with Rhodes banging in the goals... just thought I'd share that not everyone thinks this is "a statement of intent". Does Rhodes usually start/play for Scotland? Any idea of his record? Strachan doesn't play him... because he doesn't think he fits a 4231 formation I'd take Strachan's opinion on the quali

Absolutely fantastic performance today and here's a stat for you. As things stand we have kept more clean sheets this season than we have conceded goals. It's Christmas and not just a few games in as well so that is a hell of a stat! UTB

I'd probably play 11 players with it being a big game, on TV and away from home KM but no argument from me on your 10 :D

Really, really good post (although I think Nsue might be growing into the rightback we need)!

I honestly think we are a better side than last season (although I understand results to date suggest we are similar). Yes we have lost the likes of Bamford, Vossen and Tomlin but we replaced them with (upgrades in my opinion) Nugent, Stuani and Downing. Are we a better 'team' is the real question but I honestly think that will be a yes too come the end of the season.

Condolences to you and your family BWS, really puts football in perspective but sounds like he loved it just as much as the rest us!
