Come on the Boro, anaother decent performance, things seem to be coming right at the Riverside.

Just back from the SOL, we're starting to look more and more like a good team each week. 2-0 :cool:

BTW Andy Reid should be playing in the Premiership he was by far the best player in Forest's team and he has the ability to make it in the Premiership. I was suprised nobody signed him before the window shut, after seeing him live I will be extremely shocked if he isn't picked up in January.

Boro's first ever European game on Thursday,

Bratislava :shifty: Should be an easy game

Slovan Bratislava? We played them back in 1995.

Had 50p on Terry being first goal scorer, £12.50 in the bag. What pisses me off is I had £2 Vs Poland on JT scoring first so that put me off betting more then 50p. :$

Wigan also put a £12 million price tag on Nathan Etherington. Where do these managers get their math skills?

I thought they only put £5 million on Andy Reid and even at that price I tohught they were having a laugh. Teams outside the Premiership will be lucky to get £5million + for any of their players.

Jonathan Woodgate hasn't yet been able to make his Real Madrid debut,
but is already on the verge of being immersed in a scandal of huge
proportions which threatens to end his career and taint the name of
Real Madrid in the process. According to sources close to Newcastle,
his former club, the defender is being investigated by English police
for the possession and consumption of intolerable quantities of
cocaine. It appears that the police have corroborating evidence. This
revelation could, if true, put serious pressure, not only on the
player himself, but also on his president, Florentino Perez.

If all these allegations finally come to light, they would explain the
unexpected, shock transfer which took English football by surprise,
given that Newcastle got rid of a key player just before the start of
the season, without having lined up a replacement. Woodgate's transfer
was a complete surprise, taking place seemingly overnight, whilst all
eyes were on Coloccini or Cannavaro, the two players with which the
Madrid outfit were negotiating.

The magpies' chairman, Freddy Shepard (sic), presumably aware of the
situation and that Woodgate's detention was a question of time, came
to the conclusion that he should simply get rid of the problem, whilst
at the same time taking advantage of Perez's desperation to satisfy
the wishes of his coach, bring in some money, and sell the player to
Real. Madrid's season promises to be hot."


all i can say to that is:


ahahahahaaaaa

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanker

Also YES come on, 1st win of the season, have it Brighton (who beat Leicester :cool: ) etc

'Whoooooooooooo's That Team they call the Boro?' and other MFC related chants. :cool:

PS Ostrava not Bratislava :$

Middelsvilla are still shit though.

who the fuck are middelsvilla ?

have middlesbrough and aston villa merged ?

god damn it i'm always the last to know! so what ground do they play at? is it river park or villa side?

Mark Hughes is going to do a great job with Blackburn in my opinion. Future Man United manager I think.

Whoa...is it still 2 days till Rio, or is Rob just getting lazy?

Tomorrow and Monday = 2 days

I thought he was coming back this week.

My bad :$

weekend*

Goddam I was going to bet on it being 2-2 in the Arse game, and also make a seprate bet of a draw as it was 4/1. Only reason I didn't was because Arsenal were at home and on their day they can destroy anyone so I don't really like to bet on them. Should have followed my instinct.

What a crap day for football in the Premiership apart from the Arsenal game. Nearly an hour into the other games and they're still 0-0.

We have a goal.
Charlton are one up against Brum.

Become a bookie.

10 man Wolves have just gone 2-1 up. Fair play.

I wanna see this fight with Neil Clement and Andy Cole later.

Yeah I just saw that they both got sent off. Fulham finished the match with 9 man. I want to see how well Earnshaw played in this match. See if he's suited to the Premiership.

Just finished watching the Villa game and we were shit as were Norwich. Terrible game and was always going to finish 0-0

Well he can't take penalties in the big league ;)

Did he miss a penalty today?

If I had the money I would, you'd rake in the cash.

Anyways as always I is getting nervous that the 14 year record against Spurs is going to come to an end, Santini has done well so far and we have been shit in the league.

Dave you tit, he's on about Boro buying all Villas old players.

somewhat credible rumours have it that Darren Fletcher has ankylosing sponditis, which is pretty gutting :'(

6th after a 3-1 win on Saturday, didn't get to go because of work :mad:

:love:

2 away wins on the bounce, COME ON (after not having won away for about 16 months :$:$:$ )

Miller's on fire, Studge :love: scored a great winner, though Cooperman got sent off and is out for 3 games :$ :'(

We still can't defend for shit but we should be able to outgun most of the teams around us. Another couple wins and we'll be top 6 (Mackem :mad: )

Godsake, 0-0 at home to Burnley.

We should get Andy Reid on loan until the transfer window opens, now Forest are going to leave him in the reserves.It would help him keep a level of good match fitness and help us, if Forest don't mind helping out their rivals :(

Burnley are tough bastards this year, we've got them this week in the League Cup :-\

Oh btw any predictions for Man U - Liverpool tonight? I'm thinking score draw, probably 1-1

Man U - Liverpool will probably be a draw

Brian Clough's died :( story running on SSN. RIP a legend :(

Did someone forget to tell Liverpool the game had kicked off? Christ they are lame.

Kewell and Cisse have been awful, but the whole team is a yard off the pace.

That was an awful performance. We sucked, I can't think of a good performance. Even Stevie G was awful before he came off injured.It's about time we play Kewell where Luis Garcia was playing tonight. Does Garcis know how to control a ball. :(

RIP Brian Clough, Middlesbrough's greatest ever home grown talent.

There was a petition going round the games for him to get knighted this year aswell. I hope they give him a post humous knighthood.

WOOOOO

:|

Oh that's right, Mikael Silvestre beat Liverpool today :o.

I thought for a second the 'WOOOOO' was related to Brian Clough :$. And only weeks after we outdid his record, too :o.

I was just looking at some posters and it occured to me, what happened to Henrik Larsson? Is he good anymore?

He's playing for Barcelona :$

Soccer chiefs consider 'sin-bins'

A proposal to introduce sin-bins in football is to be considered by the Football Association.

The FA has set up a working party to evaluate the proposal by the Football League that the measure be given consideration and a report will be produced next month.

If the report backs the move it will have to be proposed to the International Board, comprising four members of the game's international ruling body, FIFA, and four representatives from the four British associations.

However, the board usually meets in February and March so any changes would not come into force before next season "at the very earliest," an FA spokesman said.

The Football League's head of communications, John Nagle, told The Independent: "It's too early to talk about the mechanics and we haven't even discussed how it would work but it would be fair to say we are quite keen on the idea."

Sin-bins have been successfully used in both rugby codes and are used as an intermediate action between yellow and red cards but have never been used in football.

WTF :|

BLUES LOSE OUT ON ROBINHO

Chelsea have missed out on Brazilian wonderkid Robinho, say The Sun, after only offering £8m for the Santos winger. Robinho's agent said: "After the 2006 World Cup, Robinho is going to cost more than £20m. He is the best player in Brazil. I didn't consider Chelsea's offer realistic because they offered only £8m and that isn't enough for a player who is young and has a great future." The 20-year-old is also wanted by Barcelona.

:eek:

Dazz and Rob Harvey on a night out :$ :lol:

Kiev have been awarded a 3-0 win from the abandoned game with Roma and Roma must play their next 2 European home games behind closed doors.

Very good performance by the mancs last night. Rio is back and played brilliantly and Ronaldo ran rings round Riise.

Gerrard is out for a minimum of 8 weeks :'(

:'( I'd love to have him at the club.

Mcnabb = :y:

They should be banned from Europe for this year, i'm sure that would happen to probably all English clubs if one of our clubs' fans did anything like that.

Stupid how the Italian clubs get lenient punishments for racism and things like the incident last week, considering how often it happens.

Blatter is a proven moron (the whole world knows that) and he seems to focus too much on England, South America is alot worse then here and he should be doing more to sort stuff out their, the fans are much more rowdy, they have bigger fights, more diving, but everyone turns a blind eye to it because its not in the spotlight as much.

Argentina has the worst football fans I can think of.

Argentina ain't got shit on the Bolivian fans...........remember that time the Bolivian goalkeeper got stabbed as he left the pitch at half time?

http://www.ayksolutions.com/~chaser2k/Tackles.avi

the 17 or so tackles in a row thing against liverpool. a true thing of beauty :'(

http://www.ayksolutions.com/~chaser2...llStepover.avi

ahaha

Hey Mask I couldn't get them links to work

Forssell is apparently out for 6 months :$ :(

Real want Bobby Robson as manager until the end of the season :?::wtf:

oxster - download divx

Is it just the showings in the US, or when they show games at Highbury is the camera always really close to the field? Whenever we get Arsenal games the camera is at a really low angle and the whole field looks small. I don't really like it.

They have a really thin pitch

Bournemouth managed to beat Blackburn yesterday on penalties after the game ended 3-3 after extra time... WTF

Its no fun watching a match at Highbury :(

Leeds Utd 0 - 1 Sunderland :mad:

They've got apparently the smallest pitch in the Premiership or something.

And the camera's pretty low, too :o

Look at the stand the cameras are in though. Mad small

Someone remind me to punch the mackem. :mad: :'(

North East Teams vs The World

WHO LET THE DROG OUT
WHO, WHO, WHO, WHO

:love: Well done lads, good team spirit after the match and a well earned victory, Boro's attempts on targets compared to Chelsea's was embarrasing.

:lol: at doink and sirroundsound :shifty:

Stevie Bruce got beat up last night

Sunderland 1 Leeds 0
Sunderland 1 Leeds 0
Sunderland 1 Leeds 0
Sunderland 1 Leeds 0
Sunderland 1 Leeds 0
Sunderland 1 Leeds 0
Sunderland 1 Leeds 0

We gave them a penalty but Poom decided to save it. Mickey Bridges has returned home and I marked out like a bitch when he came on last night.

Brett Omerod took the worst penalty ever, he scuffed the ball.

FINALLY CONNOLLY SCORES

2-0 at half time :love:

we were shit but the ref missed at least 2 handballs in the box by your guys!

drogba was shit - he is the new andy cole .

maclaren wants shooting for his tactics today he lost us the game. i was impressed with downing (again) and young morrison who came on for us and JFH didnt deserve to be on the losing side or to get the 10 stitches too his head.

jesus christ, lost a 2 goal lead at Q.P.R :|

Adams is completely shit tactically, Connolly is a wanker for being sent off.Our discipline is crap.

3-2

Bunch of wankers.

Told you Connolly was a twat ;)

Meanwhile we're no fucking better :rant:

Least I made £100 off the Arsenal game :love:

"COME ON YOU R'S!"

you must be one rich man as you win at least that amount every week

Super Palace got a point off Aston Villa yesterday, there is still hope?

:wtf:

Anyway nah, I'm a student, it keeps me in DVDs :love:

Did I mention that Sunderland beat Leeds 1-0 at Elland Road on Friday night?

No

What was the Everton score?

1-0 Cahill got the goal

Leeds 0 Sunderland 1

Cool
That was a great signing. I think Moyes deserves a huge pat on his back.

Moyes deserves a lot of credit for the way Everton have started considering all the problems they have had.

He deserves a lot more than credit.

:mad:
