PFM poster boy. Tragic career outside of Boro.

8 games to get 4+ points with a favourable fixture list. Deserve to go down if we can't manage that

That's on the linesmen tbf to him

Is this real life, or is this fantasy :0

I was sure as shit we were down at Xmas, props to Rafa. Just 2/3 quality signings in the summer & we'll be in that comfortable 8-12 range. Can't take this bullshit every session, it's tiring ?

It's over, thank God! The three CBs should share MOTM, each of them brilliant

5 fucking minutes ?

good goalkeeping there

Not at fault at Wolves but he had been shakey prior to that. Hope he can get b2b clean sheets tonight

Could do with Shelvey on the pitch, don't think went really strung 5 passes together all half

It's disgusting. Barnes, Woods & Crouch ewww

Ugly ugly game, I'll be sick if they're steal points from us

3 (from a 10 pre Xmas), would be 1 if we had beaten Wolves. Will be a 1 if we beat Burnley. Overall mostly bullish Hope Rafa stays and gets some much needed funds, hoping Brighton also avoid the muck

Great result given state of the first XI we had to put out. Need to somehow find 6 more wins to stave off relegation

3W in a row, what a shambles of a league. I'm still not convinced. Cardiff will be down, then any 2 from 6 next. That said I'll go from a 9 to 7

It's the hope that kills you :/

We won a game ?

That's fair (& I definitely wouldn't put Pippo anywhere near Bergkamp). I agree context is important, my defence of Cole over Sheringham takes into account everything they offer

They're not chalk & cheese tho, both played as forwards/strikers over the course of their careers. One of whom was significantly better at doing the whole goalscoring malarkey critical to the position. 'Intelligence' / 'Craft' / 'Guile' etc and are vague subjective platitudes often but not always used to prop up lesser talents. The forward position is one that requires the least amount of subjectivity in football. Sheringham, great player as he was & contrary to the belief of some, was a league below Cole despite his apparent footballing 'nous' (which he failed to utilise in putting the ball in the net). This rant isn't necessarily aimed at you but in in the rough direction of the F365/Zonal Marking reading crowd, I await the Cantona >>> Shearer hot takes next

Imagine being 3rd all time PL goalscoring charts, being a titan at two of the biggest clubs of the era and yet be told you're not on the same planet as Teddy Sheringham, hilarious.

'Chip' huh? You know this how/because you're privy to Cole & Sheringham's relationship? Why would he have a 'chip' against Teddy, a player who he vastly supercedes in all regards? What a weird comment on your part Yourself and Minhosa seemingly typify the dregs of football supporters

Rafa, bringing back the Pardew era

Shocking performance from Hayden
