No-one else brought this up but it looked to me like Djilobodji was deliberately trying to butt people when challenging in the air. It happened on at least two occasions and you could see his head jerk in the direction of our player's head in a typical butting motion.
Didn't anyone else notice?

Caley Shaun's faulty memory has brought back some rather painful ones for us. Serves us right, I suppose, for not keeping his renowned fellow Scot, Jordan Jock Rhodes, in the limelight.
Ever been had, guys? :D

Some good scoring opportunities a*** the second round's 22 goals and 7 clean sheets:
This round's biggest mover, trekkers, has rocketed 26 places up to 9th in the table, thanks to racking up the week's top score of 81 points. It's a fine example to fantasy football newbies of how a single good round can make an enormous difference to your league standings.
Despite there being only 22 goals, our average team score of 59.23 was more than 20 points up on last week. Of course, Sergio and Ibra played their part in that again, but plenty of us picked up good points courtesy of the plentiful clean sheets that the round produced. Not so, the week's wooden spoon award winner, Humpty, who doesn't seem to have grasped the idea of this competition yet. It's mainly about goal scorers, mate, so people like Chelsea's Kante probably aren't going to cut it for you. At this stage of the season, you are supposed to recruit at least some Prem newcomers and less "fashionable" players who are showing good early form. Turn your mind to finding the new season's crop of rising stars and you'll be romping up the table in no time.

About scoring:
- Results showing * for a player's score indicate that the player was a no-show.
- No-shows score nil and they always lose their matches, even against other no-shows.
- A no-show's opponent plays against the league average score and will incur goals against equal to the league average score.
- League average scores are calculated as total goals scored in the league ÷ players in the league, fractional part discarded.
- Results showing * for a player's score indicate that the player was a no-show.

Can only see a boro loss here..a big one at that..the team gives me no confidence..early i know but i dont feel ak is the man to take us forward
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
You make me happy when skies aren't blue
You'll never know mate, how I don't love you
Just wish that you'd stay 'way on match day

anyone got a good stream link ?

You must've started typing that a while ago bugs, it's just over an hour to go!
I have a feeling Ayala is going to start.
Took time out to bung match-day pasties in the oven and it would be great if he's fit.
-
Still nearly two hours to go? Let's have another look at typicalbrough's fine opening post...
After only getting 2 attempts on target do you change anything for the game on Sunday?
Sunderland are a very different kettle of fish to that well organised Stoke side, although Moyes is likely to start remedying their shortcomings as one of his priorities. I'm anticipating that Mannone is in for a very stressful day.
Do you risk Ayala or Bernardo at CB?
Not if they're still unfit. Barragan will do for me.
Does Forshaw continue in midfield?
Should be okay there so long as Clattermole isn't around to put paid to him until January.
Why didn't Karanka make subs against Stoke?
According to his recent interview, he was pleased with the way we performed. If Rhodes wasn't really up for it, I suppose he could have introduced Fischer on the hour mark but who do you hook when they're all putting in a shift?
Is this already a 6 pointer?
Nah, we'll finish three places above them regardless of what today brings.
-
Wheeee! I finally got some points!
-
Welcome to the forum, JPG.
I'll be interested to see whether they hassle Caballero as much as they did Valdes although crowding the keeper does seem to be a regular feature of their game.

If you guys need a morning laugh!
3:17 I spat out my drink!
There are some good laughs in there, enough to encourage me to let YouTube feed me some more, right up to the interview with Colin Farrell about his (then) upcoming movie with Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks called "Saving Mr banks". The lure of Emma Thompson, Colin Farrell and Tom Hanks in the same movie was irresistible so I gave in to temptation and I used Kodi to have a look.
Sadly, the warning signs were there right from the off when I realised that this was going to be a Disney film and that Hanks would be playing Disney. This might have been inspired casting by another studio but Hanks playing Walt in a Disney Studios production? That was never going to work.
Anyway, suffice it to say that it's appalling stuff and how the hell Emma Thompson let herself get involved in such a dreadful misrepresentation of English womanhood will forever remain a mystery to me. She should have realise from the outset that Americans simply do not understand the contempt in which they are held by people like the character she was portraying. The only sensible course to take after that would be steadfastly to refuse to have anything further to do with such an ill-fated project.
Like "Mary bloody Poppins" this is one to miss, if at all possible.
-
Yep, No 10 and right wing. At least he is according to Wikipaedia for what it's worth.
-
I find the title of the thread offensive :D
See our new Poll
-
It's the silly season, people in the transfers thread are getting frustrated at the lack of activity so maybe it's time for a bit of fun.
-
I have never run a Super 6 league but the others allow the boss to close the league to new entrants. The FPL also permit expulsions.
-
45 points in week 1 seems pretty poor, hopefully quickly gets better.
I collected 43 but I'm not at all worried. It's likely that there's another 2,200 or more points to collect before the end of the season so there's lots of scope for things to change.
-
Yes, and all of that is perfectly fair and reasonable. So long as we all stick consistently to our own individual rating systems then the numbers are going to provide a very fair assessment of oneBoro's player of the season.
-
Last season I started off awarding 5 to a player who put in a decent shift. However, from boro-unger's reported averages, it became apparent that most people were awarding 6 for what I considered to be a competent performance. I have since followed suit so most of our squad, including AA, got a 6 from me for their collective and individual competence on Saturday.
-
I'd rather do any business now that we think we need to do than leave money aside incase we have to strengthen in January. If we need to spend a substantial amount of money in January it probably means we are in a lot of trouble.
Agreed Fischer could probably play the Gaston role if required. I thought he should have come on during the last game instead of Nugent.
I do hope you were never one of those calling for us to play 4-4-2 last season. I haven't checked your posts but there are those who will. :D

If you had asked me to predict which players would be the outliers on a oneBoro vs Press rating comparison, I would have been spot on with oneBoro undervaluing Adomah and Downing and overrating Ramirez and Forshaw. Anyone who reads the Boro Forum regularly couldn't fail to notice how certain players can do no wrong while others have no right to don a Boro shirt.
Part of Adomah's problem is that we bought him from Bristol City and so there is absolutely no way that he will ever be good enough for the Premier League. Downing's problem is exactly the opposite in that most fans had unrealistically high expectations of him so he was doomed to fail right from the start,
Forshaw is so highly rated primarily because he tends to get a game when the bete noir of many oneBoro members, Grant Leadbitter, isn't available. He's bound to be good since GL is so bad, or so goes the reasoning.
The press have got it wrong with Ramirez. He's actually as good as we reckon. :)

Dunno if this fits the bill or not but it's a band from the early 70s who reformed in 2008 after more than thirty years in obscurity, if that gives you any idea of the kind of cult following they attracted.
The band is Comus and their 1971 album "First Utterance" is what generated all the interest. I used to own it on vinyl and I spent a lot of time tracking down a digital release before finding the 2-CD set "Song to Comus" on Amazon. The first 7 tracks reproduce "First Utterance" exactly.
And then, of course, along it came on You Tube:
