Just a random one my work colleague is a Boro ST holder. I now live in Teesside unfortunately and I said get a ticket you can drive down with me and fuck off to the away end. Anyway went on the Boro website to see if I could find ticket info. They have our fixture shown with a Sheffield United crest 😡 is it tit for tat for spelling Boro wrong was it.

Apparently Armstrong's stats are high for missing Big Chances, but it could be that he works a lot of them himself when the average striker normally doesn't.

Conversely if you look at the players who apparently miss the most Big Chances in the Prem, it's Watkins, Haaland and Salah, who aren't bad to have around in that league.

And the top striker who had missed the most Big Chances in the championship at this point last season was....Latte Lath for us. He did more than alright mind.

Armstrong will score in the current Boro team. However, he was pants in the Prem and doubt if he will be good enough next time.

I live in Teesside pal and spoke to work colleagues today and they're buzzing about the Armstrong link. I think it'll go through but not so sure about the fee but if Hellberg gets the best version of him firing he will be priceless if Boro go up. We had him on loan from Newcastle albeit in league 1 and he was a beast. The only red flag would be his form on loan at West Brom last season which would have been his third time playing under Boro legend Tony Mowbray and couldn't get a game towards the end of the season. In terms of opposition teams he will be a constant threat but as long as we keep him and Boro quiet on the 16th of Feb I wish him and Boro all the best. It would be fantastic if both Cov and Boro went up automatically it would make a huge mockery out of the parachute teams and even better Hull City beat Ipswich in the final. Hull City btw need a big mention because they are flying and have to be considered as automatics contenders.

Telegraph Sport has been told the lawsuit is linked to an agreement preventing Rovers speaking to alternative kit suppliers before the expiry of an exclusive renegotiation period.

That's exactly who I'd like to see promoted too. (Well provided Boro and Cov go up through the autos, I'd like either Millwall or Hull to win at Wembley, as you say the parachute sides missing out would be lovely and Hollywood AllStars can wait a bit longer.

Think Armstrong can do well for us, but not sure about the 15M fee being banded about being accurate. I think it will be something like 8M + add-ons (such as promotion, number of goals scored, etc)

I don't think most Boro fans would imagine him leading the line in the Prem. OK as a sub to come on for the last 20 minutes when legs are getting tired, or back up in an emergency is the general consensus.

Generally if he helps us get up it's money well spent.

If we go up and stay up, we'd probably sell him as we did Rhodes a decade or so ago and make a small loss due to him being 29. (If Ipswich don't go up they'll have him, if not Brum will as the two of them each think it necessary to have 8 strikers with a proven champo record as only the hugely talented can sit on their bench doing FA as an unused substitute in one of those "statement of intent" thingies to their rivals, whether it does any good or not.)

If we go up and come straight back down he'd be handy to have back in the champo.

If we don't go up at all he'd be handy to have around next season.

Such a tin pot club but largely considered a big club because of their 1994 success which was clearly a one-off. Barely hit 11K home supporters. Sorry but they are tin pot and wouldn’t look out of place in L1

They're an old club from a town about a third of the size of Coventry. They're badly run, but so were we.

How many fans do you expect them to have?
Click to expand...

Yep. Growing up in the 80s, Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth ,Fulham and Burnley were all clubs with their best days behind them (or never had them) and were languishing on Div 2/3 . We have been out of the Prem for 25 years - the same distance in time as being in the top flight in the eighties and the late 1950s.

I've not checked the tv schedule but are any of our February games likely to be moved or change current kick off times ?
Click to expand...
No, Feb games are locked in. It's Bristol away at the start of March through to Swansea which will be confirmed in the next batch, although Bristol could be moved again if they get through the next round of the cup.

That success was bought by Jack Walker, he sold a steelworks and used the money to fund the club.
After his death in 2000 the Walker family trust sold the club to Venky's and thereafter the tale is one of perpetual woe.
