What we require to push on

For us the season is almost over so we can look at the current squad and see what is required for the future. We can see the problems we have if we want to stretch ourselves to compete in the league and challenge for 4th all season and still be competitive on the cup fronts. [...]

We have a duty to relegate Newcastle

OK so we basically have relegated Middlesbrough today with a OK performance which really should have got us 3 points. Our season is basically over we will finish a likely 6th which after the first two thirds of the season is poor. There is not much to say about today’s game because we have one [...]

Martin Laursen retirement video

Please can we all watch this and remind ourselves of the dignity and resilence of Laursen and despite playing less than 100 games for us he is a legend. and how about this as my favourite Laursen moment, I think his reaction to Young’s winner sums him up perfectly

Boro Preview

We have a good recent record when it comes to sending teams down and will it continue at a ground we have always considered a lucky one. With the news about Laursen today I would hope that the team would be determined to put the past few weeks to bed and go out with a [...]

Well Done Stan and Nathan

He thoroughly deserves this award for a consistent performance over the season and performing at the very top level. Also congratulations to Nathan for winning the awards for the young player though not my pick, he has progressed [...]

MON speaks about Europe again

Martin O’Neil has took a lot of criticism for pulling out the UEFA CUP this season, a decision that I totally agreed with at the time and still do. Now that we have qualified for the first time in years with games to spare for the Europa Cup (such a stupid concept) MON has now [...]

Image of our season and a blessing in disguise

I was wrong wasn’t I in last night’s blog entry. Today was a perfect mirror image of our season. I watched on a real dodgy stream but first half was good, plenty of attacking verve and some chances, looked good. 2nd half after the early goal we seemed to fade into ourselves, showed no leadership [...]

Fulham match up next

We have a match tomorrow don’t you know and at a place where our record is very poor over the years and we have always underperformed, we must all remember the two missed Angel penalties and the Bullard free kick last season which saved them from relegation it appears.   So expectations low for tomorrow, [...]
