  1. 100% agree with Humpty. I think we could do with more british based players at the highest level but nothing will stop Prem clubs doing what they see as the most profitable. The only way we can change that is by as supporters supporting and encouraging homegrown players rather than dross brought in from abroad. Sadly that hardly seems to be likely direction our club is taking.
  2. I am really not sure it is fair to say he was not committed to Boro. I saw many disappointing performances from Emnes (and in truth more disappointing ones tha good ones) but i am far from sure that this resolved around his committment. Weather it be down to his lack of belief and technical failings or our inability to draw the best out of him I always had the feeling there was more to come from him but we could never find a way of releasing that potential. Whatever the reason I would rather than say "good riddance" say good luck in pastures new (and hope he does not come back to bite us in t
  3. Yes i think the key thing was that "there was talk of" that sort of bid - not that one came in.
  4. I thought it was rumoured to be that - but there was never any confirmation, Figures bandied about for transfers are often made up in journalists heads.
  5. We were never ever going to get that sort of money for him.
  6. Preseason has not even started and we still have threads which include who would like to see out of the squad and many names being put forward. Does anyone really think this is suppoerting the club as we all should do?
  7. I always had the feeling that we could and should have got more out of Emnes than we did - but now is exactly the right time for him to go.
  8. Nice easy ground to get to Oldham so looking forward to it. Oldham's ground has changed a good deal since we were last there - only 3 sides open now and away end is a quite large seating area behind one goal. Ground still has old fashioned higgldy piggldy bits to it. Still a lack of nearby pubs except a Brewers Fare type pub which takes mostly away fans. But the pies are still very good. Looking forward to identifying away trips tomorrow. So hope Brentford is a Saturday - good trip to London and a great standing area behind the goal (and of course as we all know a pub on each corner of t

  11. The Gazette says Kei hopes to be back playing before the end of the season. I do hope this is not true - he clearly returned from his last injury too soon and his reputation and long term fitness has taken a knock as a result. He needs a summer off (remember he has had no break between seasons with the american season starting last spring and him moving here before their season ended) to get fit and i suspect (if Karanka keeps him) we will see a rejuvenated player next year.

  13. Like Darlington, Hartlepool or even Stockton F.C.? Ironopolis were just another amateur team. In terms of turning points the obvious one's in recent memory are: Liquidation and Bruce Rioch, Steve Gibson taking over, Hiring Bryan Robson (was pivotal), Moving to the Riverside, The three point deduction and Hiring Gareth Southgate. I don't think any other events since 86', have changed the face of the club with such vigour. Ironopolis were not just another amateur team, they were a professional club and we remained as amateurs so his point is still potentially valid. H
