Also, Banz seen this? http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/liverpool-unveil-plans-for-academy-in-india-8883927.html. If they get set up for producing young players of the same quality as Liverpool's academy in England then there's surely hope for India's national team there.
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.

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?

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.

-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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
