  1. I heard a whisper that he's off to Qatar. Or maybe it was that he's off with cattarh.
  2. Well, it's that time of year again. Just like previous years at this time, lots of fans are upset that once again they seem to be getting the mushroom treatment - kept in the dark and fed bullshít. It's the same every transfer window. Why should that be, I wonder, although I think I already know why. It's because Boro management have no choice other than to issue misleading statements about the club's finances and intended dealings in the transfer market. It's like a poker game where you keep your cards close to your chest if you've got any sense, especially when you're bluffing. It's what

    Yeah, right and what will Perform tell you?
  4. yw. You're now Vectorboro1 with 80 points in the Boro Forum mini-league and you're back in the hunt for Red Devils. :)
  5. I just followed your link and even though I had read your post I was still ready to start jumping for joy when I first read the headline and saw the picture. Then the penny dropped and I was soooo disappointed. Ah, well, maybe one day.
  6. Accepted and I've bunged you 20 points to restore your mini-league position.
  7. I've booted vectorboro out of the Boro Forum mini-league. Please reapply to join, using whichever team is convenient and we'll see what happens. Good luck.

    Thanks for the reality check, Sarge. I was actually starting to hope he might have learned a few of those sodding lessons he was always on about.
  9. The Boro Forum mini-league has received only a single application from you, not two. Yep, what you're saying makes sense and I think there is a chance of sorting it out. I think you must have used the same e-mail addy for both registrations at Sky. Their system knows you first of all by your e-mail addy and then - I'm guessing here - by the name of your team. Out of interest, is your new team name alphabetically lower than your 'vectorboro' team name? I'm getting ahead of myself. VB, you need to decide whether you want your old team or your new team to participate in the Boro Forum leagu
  10. Ah, but did you apply to join, PIN 1760 and all that? VB, I thought Sky had sent you your password reminder so how come you can't log in? In case your browser or Sky's site need refreshing, try entering your e-mail addy and password again, by actually typing them in.
  11. Here's the table after 26 matches: sgtpepper, who led after the six midweek matches, was our top scoring manager over the weekend! I think he really means business this season. :) With over 500 points collected between us we notched up an average of 26.5 points each this weekend. The table has been pretty volatile with a wide spread of scores, ranging from Sarge's 42 down to my own 6. :blush: Managers scoring in the 30s have made good progress up the table, notably ?JA? whose 41 points take him up 6 places. Meanwhile, those of us who scored in the teens or less have moved in the op
  12. This is from Tuesday's gossip column on the BBC web site: How totally bloody galling!

    It looks like he'll get off with a slap on the wrist. Let's hope so, because the board wouldn't be the same place without him.
  14. I agree about beers and ales being more interesting and I also agree about Belgians being great brewers. Something you might want to note is that Tesco's have just started a special offer of a range of beers at 3 for £4, including Old Speckled Hen. Others are available at 4 for £5, including Badger Golden Glory. They're 500ml bottles and the offer lasts until 8th Sept. Fullers Honeydew is full price at £1.50 and I suspect that not many offies will be able to compete with that, never mind the stuff on special offer. They also stock Duvel and Leffe Blonde. I'm still working on the stock of

    Rob says in another thread that ibby signed up again as TuncayLegend and the system automatically banned both accounts. It looks like duplicate IDs get detected as a spam risk so ibby's going to have difficulty creating multiple usernames.
  16. What brought on my twaddle about Old Peculiar? Dis someone alter his post, VB?

    Will the real ibby please SHUT UP!
  18. Frankly, I don't think I'd thank you for that. When I want a "brown sort of beer" these days I head for Newcie. I know that might not be a popular choice but it's got weight, it's got (a bit too much) fizz and it's got plenty of hops. Like other booze, nose can be the decider and I can't fault Newcie on that.
  19. I think you might have to revise that 6 pints of Camerons bitter per week. It's got to be Tets and it's got to be nightly, not weekly.
  20. With regard to Hoyte, I have always wondered whether he might be up to playing right midfield. His proficiency in the defensive role leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion, mainly because he wants to get forward so much. Dunno if that's an ***nal thing but Hoyte has always seems pretty ineffective as a RB, compared to the bloke he was supposed to replace, Luke Young. I suppose that what I am asking is "Is Hoyte a Championship right-winger?" One thing is for sure - he's not a Prem right-back. VB, I suspect that your preference for seeing Arca, Hoyte, Shawky and Alves on their way won't
  21. To be fair, oneBoro, Lescott did pick up 4 goals and 2 assists last season, compared to Huth and Pogatetz's 1 goal and 0 assists between them. Then again, he was playing under Moyes and they were playing under Southgate. Regardless, we are clearly of like mind on Boro's apparent undervaluation of some of our prime assets. Centre-backs are the coccyx of a team's central spine. They might not attract the glory that strikers do but they are just as capable of defining a side's performance over the course of a season.

    Quite so, VB. ibby, you might not appreciate the joke but that doesn't stop it being funny. If you can't stop being such a snot, I'll blow you out. You might not realise it but you are in danger of alienating whatever friends you have left. Now FFS behave yourself.
  23. Pogatetz has been unlucky with injuries lately but before that he was a brave, committed, no-compromise defender of the sort that we all love. How short some people's memories are. He never took prisoners and he'll be exactly what we need in this division when he's fit again so don't be too keen to write him off. Then again, if we are looking to sell a CB then Pogatetz has to be one of the favourites (along with Huth) to bring in a fair return, simply because he's such a class defender. Personally I wouldn't want to lose either of those two but Boro do have a surfeit of classy CBs at presen

    I fear the writing's on the wall for at least two players from Saturday's squad.
