I bet they put Leicester/West Ham and Derby/Leeds on TV for the opening day.

Stoke/Wolves is a match for kings :mad:

stockdale has signed for rotherham, ricketts hasnt passed medical yet so that doesnt look good (bet the fat f**k fails), i read he'd scored 4 goals in 38 games for us good i bet the championship defenders are running scared from him!

im trying to think of the goals ricketts scored for us, i think 1 was in 03/04 season, 1 against spurs in cup and 2 penacs in cup after extra time!

sorry but he is atrousious & i feel sorry for leeds as roumour has it cadimartri & joachim will battle it out for a starting place along side ricketts. if ricketts is a first choice leeds are in serious trouble, the guy came back early for pre season last year to lose weight & claim a first team place, come christmas he still hadnt got into the side & at that time we had maccerone & job out injured along with christie. he is really bad, we paid something like 3.8m for him & are giving him away, what does that tell you ? (apart from we were ripped off when we bought him)

also im pissed off as im on holiday for first game against the geordies, not happy!

Why have they changed the word division to league? that's so gay. Palace vs Norwich what a shit game for Palace to start with, feels like we're still in division 1

Its now the Championship I think, and the Coca Cola division One is the old Nationwide Division two.

Yeah it's the Premiership then championship then league 1 then league 2. I think that's how it is, why did they bother to change it?

I don't know, it sounds stupid as hell

Yeah you've got The Championship,League One and then League Two. I think its to help glorify the lower leagues, mainly Division 1, because the football is pretty good there.

That said, we've just signed Danny Tiatto :$ :(

Middlesbrough vs Newcastle at the Riverside first game at home. I'm so glad I chose this year to but my first ever season ticket.

:y: :wave: :D WE HAVE ANOTHER 1 CONVERTED :y:

so rep me for it bitch ;)

:lol: it is done, where abouts will you be sitting or havent they told you yet?

Yeah - it wouldn't have been a problem, except that it was the Boro' goalkeeper.

lol^

yes, this was covered in the orignal thread but the guy fell asleep as had been on nights, had a pint before the game and fell asleep.

they banned him for being intoxicated at a sporting arena.

Dazz i will try but middlesbrough is what i know best

Smertin has decided to stay and fight for his place at Chelsea by the looks of things.

Leicester have signed McAteer on a free :-\

Anybody know any thing about Julian Speroni? He's a Argentine Goalkeeper who plays for Dundee and Palace are going to sign him for £750,000. Can anybody tell me if he is any good?

I wish Palace could get a player as good as Smertin on loan :(

I think he plays for Dundee, rather than United, so Rob might be able to tell you something.

What football websites do you people look at? I always use www.teamtalk.com

skysports.com and icteesside for boro news (basically this one saves me going out to buy the local paper)

Bayern are set to let hargreeves go! this news comes on the same day liverpool have announced they will make a major announcement very soon. could be related!

also Leeds have finnally signed someone good. they have signed Craig Hignett (my all time fav boro player seriously when i was 14 & robson took over hr tryed to get rid of him, i was one of people who offered to put money towards his wages just to keep him- that £10 pocket money per week would have made a difference)

anyway hope he does good for them !

www.football365.com is where I go.

And I hope Liverpool get Hargreaves, he is shit.

I hope we get Hargreaves, I rate him as a player.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Stevie G just announced that he WON'T be leaving the greatest place on Earth this season.

Kinda glad and kinda sad. On the plus side Lampard wont get pissed at another player being on a huge wage (125k reportedly), but on the bad side Gerrard is a great player who plays with lots of passion and we will probably bring in some dickhead who cares about his salary and not the club.

is there any truth about scott parker being loaned to charlton?

i think you should keep him and lampard as your central midfielders and dump claude as think he is very over rated from what ive seen.

whats the news on jimmy fh has he gone or still there?

Jimmy is still there, if anyone bid for him I bet we would sell him. Makelele is solid but he is a cheat so I would like him to be sold. I doubt Parker being loaned to Charlton would happen, the fans would hardly be pleased to see a player who turned his back on them return on loan. Although Curbishley reckosn Charlton would have finished the season much better had they had Parker.

ive been impressed by parker since the macdonlds adverts, think he has got better and better as the seasons have gone on.

i can and cant understand why he joined chelsea, he joined as they are one of the so called bigger clubs but why sign when they have such a squad you will struggle to get into and when you do play its out of position so not showing what you can do best.

i think this was another chairman signing rather than manager.

i wouldnt mind seeing jimmy come to boro as think he has a few years left in him yet!

It was Abramovich, Ranieri didn't endorse any of our winter signings, I doubt he had much say on Cole or Veron either.

I read a while back Charlton were meant to be in the market for both Rommedahl (seems likely) *and* Kezman from PSV. If he could settle in England then Kezman would be a fantastic signing for them, since they badly need a decent goalscorer if they're ever going to get into Europe.

I have heard about Rommedahl, thats on Teletext today, Kezmen has been linked with a number of clubs.

True but I can't see Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool (signing Cisse) or Newcastle (supposedly signing Beattie and Milner) going for him, so Charlton would probably be his best bet.

Unless he wants to go warm the bench for Forssell at Birmingham :lol:

I think Spurs should go after him, with Kanoute going, they need someone to compete with Defoe and Keane, but I hate Spurs so I would rather he went to Charlton.

Super Helder Postiga ;)

That's if he survives his crucifixtion when he gets back from Portugal :o

Oh yeah how could I forget about him :$. I guess Charlton is about the only side he might join, I doubt Everton or the Saints will go for him, having said that if Beattie leaves Southampton will want a replacement.

To answer your question oxstar Speroni is a decent keeper in the SPL. I am not sure if he is a premiership quality player but we will see.
