The black player lazy trope is distasteful and patently untrue. Subconscious racism. No player that makes it to the top in elite football is lazy or gets picked in our team. Why does Lampard consistently pick Haji? Simple, because he is a very good footballer and goalscorer, as evidenced by his...

Watching that video, I thought Adi was brilliant. Reading (or misreading) the body language I got the impression Middlesborough will be really up for this game. Also, I got the feeling his tenure may not be 100% secure.

No that's next year in the Prem

It is really strange. Armstrong was brilliant when Southampton went up. Not good enough in the Prem, awful on loan at West Brom but finding his form again in the Championship. They tried to sell him in the Summer.

Well Ted Lasso said Facebook is for Grandparents and racists.f

The noise around Manneh coming out from Sweden linking him with us has been substantial. Follows the pattern of us saying nothing, but agents, the press and to some degree the team, Mjallby saying he is likely to leave. Very surprised is this doesn't have legs. Incidentally, he is a number 10...

Wish he was five years younger

Wonder why? Both Sargent and MVE were virtually at Wolfsberg then they weren't?

If you read Adi's interview with the Telegraph, he said categorically that he doesn't want to be a manager. He prefers improving players. I guess he didn't want to go to Wolves and has said he loves Middlesborough and the fans. Possible their owner recognised his effect on the players and asked...

Never trust sides claiming they are in a defensive mess.

That's coke for you

We have let 15 goals in the league. Third best defence for a team that essentially attacks most of the game. We will always potentially get caught on the break. Take the three Wrexham goals out and we have the best defence. Those three goals came when JDS was out, and if memory serves me...

Explained before, Charlton had a lot of key injuries against Southampton, especially at the back, and a Southampton loan player who was ineligible. Lets hope they are not fit for us.

Was there a spiderman there?

Come on moaners from the Highfield Rd Kop must be somewhere in the CBS,

As the Northern Soul tune goes, "A winner never quits and a quitter never wins".

Agreed but, Bristol were doing really well then got a lot of crucial injuries. When all their players are fit, I expect them to be thereabouts. Regarding the Boro match, I expect a repeat of Stoke in terms of approach. They have some very good players, but so do we. They won their last home...

Well I didn't start it. If posters make a claim that is disputable, then people will go for it. It is only opinions, often backed by facts, but it does not mean anyone is right. We all come on here for our two penny worth. Probably in my case, a little more than that. Unlike some people on here...

Everything I have read on here seems to have the assumption we have a magic money tree. The reason Hamer, O'Hare and McCallum are at a parachute club is because we could not afford their wage demands and signing on fees. Two were free transfers. Perhaps we do have £10 million to spend according...

Don't think we can afford his transfer fee or wages. Need to find another MVE or Tatsu for the prices we paid. Inflation means £3 to £4 million for a player from abroad with that potential. If we choose correctly, would make money even if they are not quite PL class.
