    Summer squad changes

    I thought it was Jota that said he wouldn't go to a Championship side rather than us. In fact it's exactly what Hogan said too. I suppose we could have taken much less for him to entice a prem team and maybe Jota would have accepted lower wages to play in the prem [or sit on the bench]. It seems...

    Summer squad changes

    This Chinese money is ruining the game isn't it. Birmingham FFS! Jota should be in the Premiership or at a club with realistic ambitions of getting there very soon. A Hull when Moses went there or a Burnley when Gray went, perhaps Boro this year [I've just realised all those three had just come...

    League Cup

    We need to play our best right back at right back. That's Colin. Ilias did well against Wimbledon and Rangers and could cover for Henry when needed. Putting Colin at left back doesn't work and isn't fair on him either.

    [This was meant to include Spanish Bees comment about toilets to make sense!] - Stoopid internet Nooooooo! That's the only thing attracting me to a new ground! Otherwise I'm happy staying where we are.

    Summer squad changes

    I don't think you can keep [12 now - assuming Watkins is a midfielder] first teamers happy that way. The B team are meant to sit on the bench when we have a load of injuries, otherwise we block their path and no one wants another Alfie Mawson situation. I'm sure some will go. I think the reason...

    Summer squad changes

    Unfortunately I still expect some outgoings. Take a look at our midfield options: Jota, Canos, Jozefzoon, Clarke; MacEachran, Sawyers, MacLeod, Judge; Mokotjoe, Woods, Yennaris That's 11 players fighting for 5 places. Letting Gogia go and sending KK out on loan makes sense but even so, I'm not...

    Summer squad changes

    Colin, Woods, Vibe, and Barbet all worked out and MacEachran and Bjelland to a point if you ignore injuries. The ones that don't work out do tend to stand out though.

    Premiership relegation:- Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Hull Championship promotion:- Newcastle, Brighton and someone other than Huddersfield [although they deserve it] Championship relegation:- Rotherham, Wigan and Blackburn League One promotion:- don't know, don't care - I haven't looked at...

    It All Started So Well Pt II

    I think a lot of refs would have given them a penalty. I suspect the ref thought Forestieri was looking for it but it was clumsy of Harlee to clatter into the back of him. There were a few other decisions which they howled at which could have been given by another ref. As CB said the first half...

    It started badly, got a lot better then worse

    Harsh on Dean Smith there Rebel! The first substitution changed the game with Jozefzoon coming on. You are probably right about the others though!

    It All Started So Well

    Agreed, the holding midfielder is vital but we have to accept that means we need to lose someone currently in there. One of Woods, MacEachran and Yennaris of the current three would need to go if we want to carry on the exciting wing play with Jota and Canos/Jozefzoon. Yennaris looked great at...

    Villa, Hogan and transfers

    The moment that team was announced I let out a sigh of relief - although I never expected a performance of that quality. Every player was playing in their most comfortable position. Left back at left back, left sided centre half at left sided centre half, two proper wingers. The front three were...

    FIFA at it again

    I do get fed up with all the stats now related to the Premier League era, as if nothing ever happened before. Jimmy Greaves anyone? Take a look at his goalscoring record and weep you bloody overpaid prima donnas!

    FIFA at it again

    It's not just the Americans who want quarters anymore. All TV stations that rely on advertising would dearly love it too!

    Defeat to the Geordies

    We are consistent in being inconsistent. Very frustrating. Hogan and/or Agent and/or West Ham can f*** right off! Our team is being picked by one or more of these at the moment.

    FIFA at it again

    Fifexit? More like Fuxake! The best thing to come out of FIFA was the magic spray, three points for a win and getting rid of the back pass to the keeper - and I'm not sure how many of them were actually FIFA's idea.

    Defeat to the Geordies

    I agree not everything is hunky dory. We've got a lot of players who on their day are fabulous but pretty much all of them have a mistake in them. Dean has cut these to a minimum this season but he's also one of the most experienced players we have. We have a lot of youngsters out there still...

    Defeat to the Geordies

    Rebel, I think we would probably have lost that two years ago too. They have that real professional look that Boro had the last two seasons and let's not forget we played a blinder against Norwich at GP and lost 3-0! Our defence wasn't great that season either. I'm not saying there isn't plenty...

    Defeat to the Geordies

    We gave them a proper game, deserved a draw and could have won it. All without our £15m top scorer. Seeing as three players got injured and had to be replaced I'm quite glad Hogan didn't get a game! Although the result was disappointing it's not as bad when you've played really well - you just...
