Load of balls. People criticise Parker cos he's shit, not cos he isn't Alan Shearer. And Taylor never 'escapes all the criticism'... a belief many are infatuated with on here. The ones with braincells have a go at him when it's justified, just like any other player.

Is that actually you, Spec?

Works both ways. If we had better wing-backs we'd be a better attacking team anyway. We've been largely mediocre down the wings this year, Milner aside - and even his crossing is very, very erratic.

Nah, that's it for him now. 36 isn't he?

It has the potential to be... but it shouldn't take too much to eradicate. Someone's said it recently; arm-around-shoulder time i reckon!

Don't jinx it... If you put in that much effort, it will clearly be an anti-climax.

Please please please please please.

Aye, 17 goals in a shit team in his first season in English football -utter gash. He's definitely not a natural goalscorer... he doesn't have the preditory instincts that someone like Owen has.

It's not the fact that she's a woman, it's just the fact that she's a shit commentator. EDIT: Well, maybe she isn't actually a shit commentator - but like TMonkey says below me, she just hasn't got the voice to sound right.

The coaching staff.

To be honest, Jon - i don't think anyone here is saying that N'Zogbia is free from all the blame.

When has he not given a shite for Boro? In the three seasons that he has been there, he has scored into double figures.

As you live in England, you have excuse to not go to ANY game... I've only just turned 16. I've only recently started earning cash, and it's limited enough as it is. I live two hours away. I can't drive. I have no accommodation available. I have parents that work. I get to see all the games anyway, if i want. There's seven or eight, want any more - smartarse?

None. But i watch most of them, before the inevitable "OMG U DNT WOTCH GAMES OW SHUD U NO ANYFINK" comments come my way.

Wouldn't disagree in the slightest.

Aye. What a let down he was. Only 17 goals - in his first ever season in the Premiership, in a shit team under a shit manager - effectively saving us from relegation. Infact, i believe that Oba is the sole reason for why we have had such a shit season. Also - it was the signing of Oba that meant that we haven't won the Premier League this season, and the season of 95/96 aswell. He's just so, so, shit. What an unbelievable disappointment the guy has been.

Aye, he'll be here. No one's going to pay double figures for him yet - which is what it will take Shepherd. Plus, i don't think he is quite so in-human to bugger off now - he'll want to pay the club something back, because i think he is a decent person. I hope he stays aswell.

Something to add to your post. "Where is my wife and child?" There dead. Wtf?

Nice to see Dyer getting his act together.

Eh?

Aye, probably got a niggle and they don't want risk it in the most pointless game in the club's history.

Aye, and football only started when the Premiership was born. Did I say it did? That's precisley the reason I sited "Premiership". Not too fucking difficult to fathom is it soopafan? mackems.gif HTL refers to his template reply having been made to look like an idiot.

Martins rested... good idea, though an odd time to do it. Edit: Cue OMG E IS OV TO VALENTHIA!!!1!

Anything to keep N'Zogbia out of the team. Joke beyond a.
