Fay as guck. Yes. I bum men.

I love hearing from him. I just love the guy tbh. Whenever he scores, it's like i'm happier - like i'm happier if Martins scores than another player. Only marginal, obviously - a goal's a goal - but he's just such a great guy.

He was a decent player and should have played more - but the fact we were forced into making such a signing was a total and utter embarrassment.

Like it matters. It does actually, that's why i wrote it. If the signings get made eventually - it hardly matters at all really. The Rozehnal 'saga' was lengthy and boring as fuck, but we got him and he's done well so far. And tbh, i know you say it's dull, but i'd rather this than no movement at all. Just my opinion, like.

Sibierski was a shite a player; though as someone has sort of mentioned, that's kind of the point in a way. Cult hero nonetheless, in my eyes.

Like it matters.

Slight exaggeration.

How ignorant am i? I thought M4TT was French.

Potentially useful. Inevitably pointless.

Doubt he'll change it.

Rather listen through that than Alan Smith's droany Brummie shite. Probably would be alright if he didn't talk shite.

Have to admit though that i pronounce Drogba 'Drogbar'. I don't over-pronounce the end R, but there's definitely one there. Does everyone else pronounce it 'Drogbuh' then? Like, as an 'unstressed vowel'?

Haha yeah, and when people say 'arksed' instead of asked. That does grind my gears a bit. Also when English people pronounce foreign words in an English way. Like MaLLorca instead of Majorca. (as in actually say the L's) To be fair to Motson, I know a reporter in central Europe who met him before a game in Slovakia or somewhere, and Motson was quizzing him about the correction pronounciation of all the players' names and so on. My friend was impressed by his attention to detail. No one cares though, and if the whole world pronounces it one way, so should he. Or it's just annoying.

I know what you mean, he's very descriptive, but maybe 2 minutes after everyone watching has realised for themselves. Motson always pronounces players names different to the way most people do aswell. Deedyay Drogbar for example. Im sure there's more. Jonathan Pearce pronouncing Luis Garcia as Luis Garthia as well. Certainly a pet hate of life in general, never mind just football, is sports commentators needlessly pronouncing a name differently to everyone else - but, if you disregard David Pleat's catalogue, that really is the worst.

ZOMG allardyce duznt care about rb.

Don't worry, you get wrong for being pessimistic here, you get wrong for being optimistic here. If you don't take the middle ground your a lune & your opinion counts as shit, you'll get used to it. 4/10.

I despise the way Jon Motson commentates on England games nowadays; i swear he's going senile. Whenever he or Lawrenson, sort of - figure something out... ... like for instance last night, when Wes Brown came on for Ferdinand, it being a bit of an odd or pointless sub, they realised that Brown was gonna go wide right so that Richards could come into the centre... ... Motson talks with this patronising, "ah yes of course" tone that Sherlock would have used, as if he's just worked out this mammoth equation or mystery. Difficult to explain but it boils my piss either way.

Give over man.

come on alex.. have a go at him now. btw i totally agree The sentiment, like yours, is correct. But to say anything less than a win is abysmal or a 'total shambles', can only come from someone thinking we're something we're not. Only the top four (if that, tbh) have the divine right of saying that. You can't go away to anyone in the Premiership and claim anything but a win is a 'shambles'. 1. Are we a better team? <yes move to question 3> <no move to 2> 2. why not? 3. Are middlesbrough a weakened side? <yes- than yeah we should win> <no move to 4> 4. Are you mad? Yes you can say that, is it wrong to expect a win against a side we should be beating? Expect a win, yes. I'm expecting a win. But to say it's a shambles if we don't is plain daft. Am i really actually wrong here? That was fun btw, thanks. just thought the point would come across stonger if it was interactive technically you're not wrong, but still, speaking for myself i'd be gutted if we didn't pick up all 3 points. its a game we need to win if we want to climb up the table.. we can't justle settle for draws against teams that we should beat I'd be disappointed with a draw. I wouldn't be 'settling' for that. I just wouldn't regard it as a 'shambles' if we only picked up a point. dissappointment, shambles.. same thing really.. \/\/ U /\/\.

On the contrary, if our players go into games away to the likes of Boro, believing we'll simply brush the opposition aside - we'll get pummelled. If we go in thinking a draw is good enough against Boro when they are in such a mess we'll get even less than that. Neither of us are saying that. I didn't say anything like that. This argument's absolutely stupid and i'm not pursuing it.

Fuking hell if the players have got the same mentality as some people in here we'll never beat anybody. I think a bit of confidence, aggression and determination is needed sometimes and am not just talking about the players. There's fuck all wrong with my mentality man. A draw away at any Premiership side, especially an established one like Boro who do have good players, can not be regarded as a shambles. I want us to win. We should win. And i'll be disappointed if we don't. But be realistic. What do you actually think we are?
