    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Kemi is smoking Reeves, I quite like listening to her as leader of the opposition. It’s just a great shame that the Tory party is a damaged brand.

    Can we get to 50 points

    I agree and 2 shots on target says it all. Teams are going to have chances and ultimately, the important markers is how many chances did they make? They had 1 half chance that they scored, a big chance they missed. Conway’s chance was huge and good move from Boro and similar patterns to how...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    English common law is developed over centuries of codified laws passed in parliament. By contrast, the ECHR is a set of ‘conventions’ i.e. not a law. It’s the HRA that codifies this but more significantly, the role of the European Court of Human Rights in the interpretation of the conventions...

    How can less points be better? A win v Ipswich would be huge, even if we lost v Southampton. Birmingham’s home form has been impressive to be fair.

    Waffle waffle waffle, how much has Reeves increased taxes over two budgets? £50+ bn in two budgets? Shambles.

    Simms and Assante

    I think Allen fits a niche that Lampard likes. He covers an incredible amount of distance and wins a lot of loose balls. His role in the 5-3-2 before we signed Grimes was important.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The point was more posters like BSB, SBD, Shmmee and others have compared leaving the ECHR with authoritarianism, Russia and North Korea get invoked. This is characteristic of the liberal-left as a whole btw. I was causing mischief by bringing up the ECHR tbf to highlight some ‘inconsistencies’...

    Can we get to 50 points

    Has it? Thomas scored a dumb own goal for the leveller. Other than that, we let Boro have 1 big chance and they 2 shots on target. The second half v WBA and the whole of the Boro games were good defensive performances. Lampard seems to have shrugged off the OG as a mistake ‘it happens’. KKH...

    We would have been better off with Robins

    Is Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde with us at present? 😂

    Match Thread Middlesbrough - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 25th Nov

    Is that why the likes of Mark Goldberg do? I don’t understand the appeal of watching someone’s reactions to watching a live event. If you’re interested in football, go to your local football stadium or down the local pub and watch the game in a social environment.

    Middlesbrough Fans

    The limbs for that was impressive but considering it was 2-1, felt ridiculously tinpot. Even some of the remarks where they reckon they battered us? We have more shots, more shots on target, higher xG with 5 less touches in the box. Had it not been for Thomas’ own goal, we’d have won 3 or 4-1.

    Simms and Assante

    I still think we need to sign 1-2 wingers. Last night we were quite lucky in the sense that we could switch to a 5-2-3 or something with KKH as a WB. Otherwise, I did feel we would’ve struggled to change things up in a 4-2-3-1. This is why we have the January transfer window and we’ll go for...

    For any remaining non-believers

    Let’s be honest, the first few games were a bit of a write off too! It’s also worth pointing out that we didn’t win an away game after Oxford at the start of March. Our home form under Lampard has been elite. The CBS is fortress and this season I cannot see us dropping off at home to fuck this...

    Simms and Assante

    I’m not going to smell my own farts on this one, the players have all surpassed expectations. Even Torp, I felt like he could have a big year and that probably looks like 5-10 goals over 46 games… he should get 10-12 this season which just top work. Fair play to Lampard, he deserves all the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Right so, because there’s a backlog, it’s justifiable to upend centuries of civil liberties? Using that logic, perhaps the temporary suspension of the refugee convention and withdrawal of the ECHR is justified? After all, it seems like we’ve established that we can curtail certain rights and...

    Simms and Assante

    Simms was also carrying injuries back then. Last season, despite BTA and Simms underperforming to historical lows in their careers, their goals in the Jan-Feb winning streak were instrumental in getting us to the playoffs. Perhaps it was copium in the summer, but this period suggested to me...

    66 points is to get to 90 points is 22 wins from 29. It’s technically doable but it’s not likely imo. Without getting too carried away, they beat QPR, Sheff W, Charlton and Leicester. The manner of the last 2 wins were genuinely impressive and given the xG table, I believe that Southampton will...

    I was talking about the Prem specifically and so were you up until you made the strange comment ‘why do you pretend football doesn’t exist outside the PL?’ I’m talking about ticket prices, not transfer fees/wages. Again, the relationship between the Prem clubs and FFP is driving up ticket...

    For Southampton to get to 90 points, they need to average 2.27 points per game for 29 games. That’s a bit optimistic, for context, we’re tracking in 2.35 right now. Ipswich need 2.2 whereas we need to average little over 1.72.
