Yes I've seen that. I wonder if some other clubs would want to open their own academies as well.

It would be great to be taught by professionals. I had no one to teach me football when I was little. The sports teacher at school couldn't even kick the ball properly. I should have joined a club back then. ;-;

Well it finally happened - Mowbray leaves Boro

And more importantly you can catch my wonderful team play on Sky Sports on Friday, make sure you take up the opportunity if you can so I can have even more people to complain to. :P

Just to add something people might actually find interest in, Wenger believes United can still win the title. I think it's a bit early for anyone to even doubt a title run, but a few more draws in the next month will create a major doubt.

Who would be your preferred replacement? Just had a look at the early odds and Tony Pulis is the bookies' favourite. Not exactly what I'd imagine thinking about Boro's style of football over the years.

Norwich and Boro's U21s met at Colney today, 3-1 Norwich win. Boro goal was a cracker of a freekick.

Eruption October 21st, 2013 12:03 PM

Gibson has already publicly said Pulis won't be given the job, but it looks like the bookies haven't kept up.

I'd like to see Curbishley offered the job, but that's highly unlikely. Amongst the more likely candidates, I guess Clough is the most acceptable to me. As long as we appoint one soon as Venus is Mowbray's personal right hand man so it makes no sense for him to be in charge.

I'm not surprised to read that about the U21s, Norwich seem to always have a few promising youngsters on the go. The current big prospects are twins aren't they?

Weeaboo Name October 21st, 2013 1:18 PM

Yeah, we have a good crop right now. Murphy twins have grabbed a lot of headlines but I think we have 2 or 3 more showing just as much promise. Not getting too excited though, I remember when Ryan and Rossi were being touted as the next big thing.

Well hopefully your sacking and replacing of a club legend will have a similar impact as when we got rid of Gunn a few seasons back.

Eruption October 22nd, 2013 11:22 AM

Well I'm sure at least one of the bunch should come good even if the rest fall short.

Hopefully it will have a good impact. Even if it doesn't at least we didn't need 7-1 loss to get rid of him. :P

Broncos lost their first game this week to my favorite team, the Colts! Peyton was off, I was glad the Colts won.

Banz October 26th, 2013 3:11 AM

Some great games this week. I hope Sunderland get their first win tommorow.

Weeaboo Name October 26th, 2013 8:41 AM

Ok, even I'm starting to get worried now. More than 30 shots and we fail to net once, at home to Cardiff. Next up both of the Manchester teams away from home. Fun.

TWOFACE October 26th, 2013 8:15 PM

Who's Goal do you like more Sanchez or Sturridge

-Lapras-, on behalf of Middlesbrough fans everywhere I would like to thank you for Daniel Ayala. He's just the defender we need and he got a nice goal in the Doncaster match to top off proving the fact that we need him.

I'm a bit disappointed Sunderland won, they'll actually have a bit of fight in them now.

The Clasico result was predictable as was Bale's lack of influence on the game. Ancelotti needs to sort his team out soon.

Banz October 27th, 2013 7:06 PM

Ayala used to be a Liverpool player before joining Norwich.

Really happy that Sunderland won. Great goal by Borini.

Weeaboo Name October 28th, 2013 1:36 AM

Yeah, if Ayala steers clear of injury I'm sure he'll be a great addition to your back line. I'd imagine this will be made permanent in January. Wonder who we have lined up to replace him, I wonder if he'll still join considering our league position right now.

Weeaboo Name November 2nd, 2013 5:06 AM

Man City away today. Somebody hold me.

Edit - RIP in Peace, Chris Hughton.

Eruption November 2nd, 2013 4:10 PM

Painful day I imagine -lapras-. Probably the last straw for Hughton indeed.

Ivysaur November 2nd, 2013 4:15 PM

Madrid have committed 4 penalties in the last two games (plus another one the ref didn't give). I think Carletto should have a word with his defenders. It's mindblowing.

Aeroblast November 3rd, 2013 8:18 AM

I'm sorry, -Lapras-... But don't worry.

Madrid current penalty count: 5 conceded in three games. The hell is wrong with their defenders.


Also Atlético is the first team to make it to the round of 16 as group leaders. Quite proud of them myself :P

Eruption November 7th, 2013 6:23 AM

Went, in what is really weird coincidence considering the chances of both of our clubs linking up, erm our clubs are linking up. (Link)

Between this and the two Norwich players we've signed (plus Kamara who was on loan at Norwich last season), I feel like some universal force is attempting to link up all our teams. :P

Banz November 9th, 2013 4:36 AM

I hope I get good points this gameweek. Last month or so has been really bad.

Eruption November 9th, 2013 5:06 AM

I'd forgotten all about our fantasy league, I hate to think how many points I've lost by not changing the team.

Anyway I'm soon leaving the house to watch my delightful Boro take on udinese b Watford. Hopefully next time I post we have three more points.

Weeaboo Name November 9th, 2013 7:59 AM

Same, as always I lose interest after the first 5 or 6 weeks. Oh well.

1 - 1 at half time. I'm predicting a headed Kamara winner in the second half.

Norwich game is going to be rather important this week. Lose or draw and I think it might be Hughton's last. Win and everything will look a whole lot better.
