True, but they've got the 2nd best defence in the league (only conceding 12) and have had 10 clean sheets. Boro seems to just be a blip.

Swansea will cause us problems and I can't see us winning the match. Solid defence and with pacy wingers, they'd relish playing up here on our big pitch.

Well doesn't 'Real' mean 'royal' in Spanish? So either they're paying homage to the Spanish, or they've really not thought it through.

We'd been losing to the likes of Reading, Wigan and Sheff United for years tbh. And it's continued this time with Scunthorpe. We were midtable when he left (on our annual winless run).

He honestly wasn't THAT bad for us (especially compared to now) and was gutted at his sacking, although I know I'm in the minority there Good luck with the operation Sam. Wouldn't wish pain on anybody (except Mr M Ashley of course).

redknapp out. nailed on.

The 3-1 against Boro last season was one of my favourite nights ever. I just couldnt speak all weekend because of nerves and that whole day at Uni was painful. Then I had to sell programmes in the Boro end. But the cauldron of noise that night was amazing and when we got those 2 goals at the end, it was pandemonium! At full time everyone knew we were actually gonna stay up and it was amazing. Then they stuffed it up......

Qualified through Asian zone though. Could easily go in either.

So you're counting USA to South America then? Touche. I thought it was a crazy stat haha. Brazil again though!! Where does Mexico class as?? If its not South America then its Brazil again and Argentina. Pretty rubbish stat now you mention it

Also, the only times a winner has come from a different continent to the host were in 1958 (Brazil) and 2002 (Brazil). So either an African team wins, or Brazil!!

11th June - 11th July 2010 http://www.bettingfixedodds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/World-Cup-20104.jpg Group A: South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, France Group B: Argentina, Nigeria, South Korea, Greece Group C: England, USA, Algeria, Slovenia Group D: Germany, Australia, Serbia, Ghana Group E: Holland, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon Group F: Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia Group G: Brazil, North Korea, Ivory Coast, Portugal Group H: Spain, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile England Matches: England vs USA (Sat 12th June 7.30pm), England vs Algeria (Fri 18th June, 7.30pm), England vs Slovenia (Wed 23rd June, 3.00pm) British K-O times: 12.30pm, 3.00pm, 7.30pm I'm unbelievably excited for this. For me, the winner just won't be Argentina. France are actually a very poor team; if Lippi insists on ignoring youth than rule Italy out. Germany are efficient but have no match-winners. Holland aren't good enough, Portugal struggle to score and England will choke like they always do. That leaves Brazil and Spain - big surprise!! Might just plump for Spain.

Babatunde would be the expert here, but aren't Nigeria blessed up front? Martins, Yakubu, Obasi, Obinna, Kanu, Odenwingie, Uche and Anichebe have all played for them lately. But from Shola's point of view, good luck to him.

A World Cup without Russia, Sweden, Czech Republic, Croatia, Turkey or Ukraine Absolutely gutted

Annoyed? Why? Egypt are one of the most despicable teams in the World. SA 2010 will be much better without them there. its just my personal preference of all the bigger/better teams being at the world cup. thats why im cheering on france, russia and portugal tonight (with a heavy heart, because i like bosnia)

The reigning champions of Africa havn't qualified proper annoyed now, like

still not a big club though wonder when scunny or forest are releasing theirs....

hahahahaha

Another football death - Antonio de Nigris http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5699220,00.html 2009 has been a horrible year for deaths. Roll on 2010!

Dave Kitson on loan to Boro

Personally I've stopped watching the Premiership now, so I like watching foreign stuff, hence many of the names. But theres also a hint of FM there haha
