TRC

No f***ing Smudger, the reason we put a decent run together was because you were no-where near the team. It's not even funny, because it's so true...

That was fucking shit, fell asleep, and I never fall asleep through anything. We couldn't even beat a Hertha team, that played in a competitive game yesterday, pretty shocking, considering, we had a first choice midfield out, and a decent defence, only really missing our strikers.

Did we though? Based on what? I've been on holiday so out of the loop, I just thought that was what happened.

I don't understand our logic, we offer a centre half shit loads, but offer Aimar average wages?

Im off my face, but we have a weak as fuck midfield so we could have an amazing defence but they would still get bombarded by mediocre teams such as blackburn and west ham. Woodgate is an amazing centre half but he didnt help boro much, we finished above them cunts, a real defence comes from a strong midfield.

will we fuck get this guy, and if we do, so what, we have fuck all in midfield. If collocini comes to us, he comes for the money, not the ambition.

Whats the craic with people going to Chelsea and becoming expensive as fuck even if they hardly play?

Anyone know how close we were to getting him in Jan?

Gutted we didn't get him in January now, he's quality.

So fuck if he shags around, most footballers do, doesn't seem to effect his game so I don't really care to be honest.

The lad plays for Stuttgard (sp?) why the fuck would he come anywhere near us?

Which he blatantly is.

I hope he stays, he needs a testamonial

turned us down in Jan, remember him saying. Think he turned spurs down too

You are pissed though Jon

Legend, is that the Ricketts who played for Boro celebrating?

What sky channel is it on?

Smith has had the biggest negative effect on the team as a whole I think. Therefore I'll go with him

What happens if he scores the winner on sunday, is he a hero?

I thought he did decent enough

I can imagine. Like when he came on against Fulham, and i mentioned it in the post-match thread aswell, he came on and had a near-post header from a corner. Headed it away from goal, literally away, as in back out of the penalty area. The only purpose the man has is if it's 85 minutes, we're hanging onto a lead, our midfield are knackered and our defense is a bit shaky - and we sit him infront of the backline as the clock runs down, just to hassle em up a bit and add a bit of energy. Even then it's risky, with fouls in and around the box. He genuinely is a worse signing than the likes of Luque, Boumsong and Marcelino. That's not even an exaggeration. Dire footballer. He is worse than then because he has had a worse impact, with those players they were just not good enough, or never played. Boumsong played but he was just abit shaky, sometimes had good games in Boumsong we needed a solid defender, and sadly he couldn't do it consistently, but with Smith he has played 90% of the games this season, and has been the catalyst in ruining the full team as he has been a shocking replacement for Dyer.

haha

If 9 out of 10 would try it you would see it alot more often, the ball gets stuck under someones feet in that position quite often, seems to happen to Martins alot.

Alan Smith

Bowyer and Dyer both scored, Dyers was in Europe, can't remember whos Bowyers was against though.
