Me too Houchen me too! :p I think your defence of the op was admirable though misplaced......the whole sisu debate that has kicked off from his initial statement sort of proves it. Why oh why did he have to mention SISU? :o On a positive note our form is good at the moment........but as...

My point is that most transfers are for a mixture of financial & footballing reasons. I am sure I do not have to trawl through volumes of sky blue history to find prevous owners selling players partly for financial reasons........Robbie Keane, Bellamy, Dublin, Kirkland, Speedie....the list goes...

Fair enough kg82 but surely anyone can see names listed by coundon sky blue were how shall I put it very wrong in terms of a reply about players bein "SOLD" for money? No-one has come back to me with a counter argument saying I am wrong and those players listed were sold for lots of...

Hmm Coundon sky blue with those list of players you have made yourself look a tad foolish! How many of those were sold......??? Hmm sold/released are two different things. Of your list I think only Borrowdale may have fetched a fee the rest were/will be released at the end of their contract...

What player ever is sold from a club for "football" reasons......? Particularly most clubs who have to sell and barter and balance the books. Regarding Juke the financial side definitely played a part but also think that Juke's head was turned by Middlesboro and he wantd to go anyhow. In...

It basically boils down to would you rather have Juke, Eastwood, Mc Pake & Rod vs Norwood, Nimely & Herman. You can't have them all we have lways been a seliing club to varying extents since I have been supporting us. Everyone mentions losing Westwood, King, Gunnar etc but we did not get much...

Houchen's head you have made yourself look a bit of a moron with that statement! If he was "having a bit of fun" as you put it then there would be no need for the sisu comment at all......I also did not see any smileys at all after he made the remark therefore not a bit of fun he was being...

Have to say was certainly not his biggest fan........but he was excellent against Watford away, was not at Pompey or Cardiff unfortunately but he has earned rave reviews for these games as well! Happy he is proving me wrong long may it continue....need all start xi in top form for the remaining...

Not really silly we are a selling club unfortunately always have been to survive - the three players you have listed on our books would not fetch a million like Juke has which is a good price and good business which has been proven by the stick he is getting from Boro fans at present and the...

Said it when he went and have not been proved wrong providing we got a decent price for him was excellent business decision. Our results have significantly improved and Middlesboro's have gone down the pan since the transfer not all a co-incidence surely. Don't get me wrong Juke gave his all...

Well I did say I had a feeling that we would get something today at Watford and thankfullY i was proved right. I quietly disagreed with quite a few ever the pessimist views that we would get hammered never thought this would be the case. Overall the draw was the fair result but I am slightly...

I do not see academy games I have to admit but do not see him mentioned much amongst the goalscorers how many goals has he scored for academy this season? If he is attacking mid personally would have expected him to have banged more in at academy level?

A bit of me think that following injuries and award we should pitch him in as his confidence is high. However I am not entirely sure where he fits into team and what his best position is, there seems to be a lot of conflicting views on this? Can he fit into a standard 4-4-2 if so where? Can...

Now Baker being out while he was in form is a blow.....however I still do not rate him overall and doubt he would have put on a third good performance anyhow. It is time for our other Mr Inconsistent Bell to turn in one of his rare good games now just as Baker has done in the last two...

Hmm some of our founds are strange.....not concerned about their "fantastic" result.....did nothing for their goal difference keeps us within three points of them with better gd.....if we beat them at home and are within that range we go above them.....simples! Also did we not also draw with...

1. Yes we can win all four they are all beatable but not sure we will, can see us slipping up in one or two of those games - 8 to 9 points is what I expect we'll get. 2. Hmm not sure 42 points will be enough but do not think we will need 50.....45 points I reckon will be ok this season. 3...

Good to hear he produced the goods today, I have to admit would personally have started one of the bench players ahead of him before game started but I did say hope he proves me wrong and get a hattrick at the start of this thread! Hell if I knew we would get three points on Saturday I would...

Hi Chaps, It seems I stand corrected about Baker.....I have to say I am glad I was proved wrong....can he retain level of performance in terms of consistency till the end of the season though? Despite his performance overall the result was a little disappointing.....need to try to get 3 points...

He's not or ever has been a right midfielder he can't cross for toffee and his success at Stockport was from playing just behind the front two not out on the right. Are Clingan, Thomas & Christie not right footed....would rather see Christie there pacier and can deliver?

Ha Baker made it into the start xi the bloke is totally and utterly useless! :( Clingan, Thomas, Christie, McDonald......all should have started ahead of him!!:facepalm: Can someone explain why he starts ahead of those and why he is better? I sincerely hope however he makes me eat my words and...
